by Brittany G. on When you think "sports bar", rarely does "good food" come to mind. Cover 3 has re-invented the sports bar here! I would call this an "up-scale" sports bar. The decor is very modern and simple, yet inviting! The food- FANTASTIC!! Great place for brunch, and the migas are simply the best I've ever had- yes, the best! I wasn't impressed with our waitress, I asked for a Michelada (I said, "Mee-che-lada") She promptly replied, you mean a "MICH-a-lada". Yea, okay, whatever! She obviously understood what I want. I did not like the bloody mary mix that they brought with it (like simple Clamato), so request Zing Zang instead if you are a fan. I hate to judge service on one encounter, so the migas were good enough that I'll be back again and will re-evaluate!
by Kristle Sim on What a great find! My friends Sandy and Bill kept on talking about 2 different places on night. One gay bar, one piano bar - going back and forth on what seemed to be two topics. Then they started talking about karaoke, and I became totally confused. It turned out they were both talking about the same place: Martuni's. Piano bar - with great pianists.... and anyone is allowed to sing - which is Karaoke-like but not quite.... and lastly, many of the patrons are indeed gay - and amazing singers, too. In the Mission at the corner of Van Ness and Valencia, I have always spotted Martuni's on my way to one of my favorite hangouts, Zeitgeist. Never once did I enter, but rather liking Martinis, I kept it in mind. While we were at Cosmopolitan on this evening - the five of us decided to head over to Martuni's. In the front is a typical bar area with dark lighting, booths and a large bar in the center of the room. The real highlight of this place, though, is when you go further back in the restaurant through these curtains and find a small room with an electrical piano inside of it, topped with a huge table and barstools surrounding the piano, and intermittent tables and chairs throughout the room. This is the piano bar section. The first night - they played great music and had some showcase singers. We had some stiff Martinis and had a stupendously fun time, though none of us sang. The second time I went, which was last night with Archie, they had some really outstanding singers and an even better pianist who was practically a comedian with her witty and perfectly timed comments. She was also a great singer with one beautiful voice - quite impressive from such a small framed woman! I had wine - Archie had a foo foo Martini - and if we hadn't stuffed ourselves silly of sushi and sake - we'd have tried many more drinks. Most drinks being between $5-$8 - this place has really fair prices, and tasty drinks - even having Glenlivet and Macallan 12 and 18 single malt scotch. This one woman who had been sitting by the piano grabbed her sheet music and asked the pianist to play it. Obviously, if you carry your own music, you are either good or you really think you are, so I was curious to hear what she would sing. She proceeded to belt out the most amazing rendition of "Defying Gravity" from the musical, Wicked. WOW. Showstopper. Deep voice, but strong and clear - and she hit that last super-high note in the song so beautifully, I got chills. Make a note - the music is mostly going to be showtunes or old classics - no Britney here. Then again, last night, the pianist did sing "Flashdance" quickly followed by her rendition of "I Kissed a Girl". Perhaps she can play Britney. On both visits, the servers have been nothing short of terrific - friendly, fast, and they all seem happy! Martuni's is a great place to wind down the evening, be it with friends or a date. Whatever this place lacks in classiness, it makes up for with good fun, great music, and casually comfortable ambiance. One of the highlights of the evening was when a random girl picked a random gay man, and asked him to dance while the pianist belted out "Flashdance". He looked surprised at first - but immediately got up and seriously showed us some flashy, hot dancing. How SHE knew HE was THAT good, I won't know, but "Tom" and "Alisa" - - you guys rocked! For a good time - - this is one of the best places to go. Even on a Tuesday evening, the place was full of patrons all looking to have a good time - and a good time, we all had! Cheers!
by Barry D. on I'm feeling generous so I'll give it 3 stars. Mostly because no one gave me any attitude at the door and the bartenders were cool and knew how to make a good drink (unusual for a club). I was supposed to be on the list but wasn't - still got in after a short discussion...so bonus points for the doormen not being too rude. But honestly...nothing else really blew me away about this place. The music was a little too 80's style for my taste and the decor looked like any club in any other city. Ditto for the crowd. There were some descent looking girls but nothing I haven't seen before in LA or San Francisco or Dallas or Ames, Iowa (you get the idea). The place was kind of small and it was overly packed by 1am (I went on a Thursday night). It's basically any club in any city you've ever been to. Nothing to write home about.
