  I had no idea what to expect when I walked in on Friday night but I was pleasantly surprised, there was no pretentiousness and everyone seemed cool.  It was all ages.  It felt like a good, down to earth party.  People where there to dance and have a good time.  The best part though was the band on one side of the club.   They played cover songs with a true gogo beat.  As a DC native I was thrilled to hear such good music.  The only downside is that some of the fellas don't dress up...please stop wearing sweatpants to the club!  Also, the price to get in is a bit steep, was $15 when I went in and was $20 by the time I left but I guess for live music that was worth it.

  I didn't eat there but I give a a decent review for the crowd and the music. Friday night they had a DJ on one side and a live band on the other. Mostly Afro-American professional looking crowd. I would definitely go again.

  After all that I've herd about the place I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise this place wasn't all that bad. The crowd was nice, the DJ was pretty gud, and the drinks were pretty strong. Over all 'I will be going back.'

  Martini's is an average lounge/club. I attended a Christmas party for my wife's job and I was a little underwhelmed at what I saw at Martini's. From the heavy radio promotion, one would think that Martini's is a 'dress up' and grown folks party kind of place-for the $10.00 cover, I at least expected the club to have a dress code. However, that was not the case. OK, maybe I'm a bit of a snob, but I typically judge a place that serves food based on the condition of the bathroom--it was straight up nasty. What this tells me is that the management has low standards and is probably overly concerned with ensuring the bartenders don't over pour (even though they have those adapters on the bottles) than they are with cleanliness. The drinks were standard club prices ($7.50 for Captain and Coke) and as previously mentioned, poured on the meter. I didn't order from the menu because it was a catered event, but if the catered meal was a representation of the club's Resturant itself, it's best to eat before you come. Food was as nasty as the bathroom. The DJ, well, he was kind of wack too--I have a better selection of mixed music on my iPhone. For what its worth, I would probably go back just to confirm my earlier assessment. I would like to go there when they have a live band, but for now it a two-star-er...
