I had just scored an internship job and was feeling great, so I decided to celebrate with a little drink next door. Well, a little $10 drink, but there you go. When I walked into the Martini Ranch, there was just one other customer and two workers. Not a huge food selection, but the quesadilla was really good and filling. The martini list is huge! I couldn't decide what I wanted, but finally settled with a chocolate-cherry concoction. It definitely knocked me on my ass and I thank the bartender for not laughing too much when I could barely form words from just one drink. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes a good martini.
Review Source:Long time fan of this place. I've seen it go through a lot of high and low times. The martini selection is big, but as another reviewer stated, it's vodka-heavy.
The place has definitely evolved through the years, but it's outlived countless bars and clubs that competed with it in the river north area. I think the only place that may compete with it for longevity in that area is Spy Bar.
I hope the place makes a revival, it's usually a great late night/afterhours place.
