You can smoke inside and they make great cocktails, the beer is nice and cold, and the bartenders are wonderful.....what else can a guy want?!! I live in Orleans parish and am happy to make the trip to hang in such a cozy place. read more

Martine's is a fun little cocktail dive bar in Old Metairie. Products: Duh-ranks, yo! They have a pretty good wine and beer selection, but they shine on their signature cocktails, of which there are so many that I could not reasonably list here, some of which rotate out regularly to keep variety up. Everything, and I mean *everything*, is reasonably priced, if not outright cheap. (5 stars) Service: Usually just a single bartender, except during shift changes, but the place is small enough, that is more than enough. All the 'tenders are friendly and efficient. (5 stars) Facilities: Martine's is located in a strip mall along Metairie Road. It's easily accessible from the Bonnebel exit off I-10. Signage is ample, but you have to be familiar with the turns along the street to be prepared to find it. There is some parking out front, and, as one goes to bars mainly at night, there isn't any competition for space then. There is a pool table, video poker, and what looks to be a non-functioning/unplugged pinball machine (never asked about it). The inside is smallish, and can probably hold about 50 people seated, including tables and bar stools. There is also outside seating available. It's clean, but, for whatever reason, the cigarette smoke lingers in the place. The management is aware and tries to work with customers on this angle. The decor is appropriate, with a saloon feel to it. (4 stars) Bonus 1: free pizza weeknights Bonus 2: free wings on Wednesday with Trivia Overall: The only things I dislike about this place are that it isn't walking distance from my place and the heavy cigarette smoke that makes my eyes burn. Check it out, especially if you like trivia (4 stars) read more

Really nice neighborhood bar. I'd give it 5 stars but it was smoky. Loved the watermelon drink. The service was fantastic. Very friendly workers and customers are down to the earth and friendly as well. There were a few 30 somethings and a few 50 somethings. Mostly young ppl though. Juke box was awesome and since we didn't like the smoke, we sat outside and the outside speakers carried out the tunes to us. They also have pool tables and darts . This place has just about everything. read more

See all

Justin made me a carefully prepared Sazerac. Nobody cared that I had my dog which was nice as well. Nice chill place! read more

My boyfriend and I have tried to go to this place no fewer than three times and had to leave each time due to the heavy presence of smoke inside the bar. We are from Houston so we are not familiar with the local ordinances, but clearly it must be legal to smoke in bars in Metairie. Since we never stayed long enough to order a drink, I can only speculate on whether this is a food cocktail bar or not. We'll never find out unless the local laws change, because we won't return until it's non-smoking. read more

Gotta love this place. As JPSO was chasing me (because my boss "needed to meet right away") These keystone cops ‍ pulled me over and I was in such a hurry I locked my keys, phone, wallet in my car. They were upset that they could not "tear my vehicle apart..."lol! Things happen, lightning does strike twice. I locked my key in the car 2x in one night. Like the said when I asked "I just got $1000 in fines, can you give me a ride to ARIS AVE?" His barked his reply "NO! We AINT A F'in taxi service....". The cops were in such a hurry to leave, they smashed into each other. "I ain't writing that report". Lol!" . Watching the "butterfly effect" unfold for a few thousand was the best entertainment I've had in years!!!!! Thank GOD for this "angel" in the form of "Michelle" the bartender!!! She let me use the phone unlimited as if I was JESUS seeking refuge. The way I look at it is- "GOD brought me to this place for a reason, blisters on feet and all!!!!!" read more

Came here and was waiting outside until they opened and it was cold so my brother and I tried to turn on the heater after the workers saw we were sitting outside and the lady came outside and rudely told us "don't f**k with that because if you break it I'm going to be f*****g pissed" She could've just said to hold on a minute and she'll come get it for us. Just thought that wasn't right at all to come at us like that for no reason. This place doesn't even deserve a star read more

So there is no longer food aside from a few tasty bar snacks but now they have Trivia Night! They've also really stepped up the game for seasonal cocktails. Still my favorite place to get a drink. read more

Brittany is the best bar tender at this places she hooks up the matcha vanilla stoli like no one else. BRITTANY IS THE BEST SO IS MARTINE'S LOUNGE read more

I was excited to try this Neighborhood bar since its 2 min away from home. I'm a little disappointed of the environment.This place allows people smoking inside and I respect that yet I didn't find it pleasant to stay for a long time. The cocktails were okay and the bartender was kind and charismatic. read more

My daughter and I found this place one day and loved the vibe. It's small, cozy, great drinks, friendly bartender. All around great place.

Was very surprised by how awesome this bar is! Chill environment, cheap drinks, and a great bartender, Ryan, who's an even better dancer!

What an amazing place... Such a sweet owner and delicious cocktails... You would never expect it out there on Metairie Road I always have a blast and everyone treats me like family! I'll be back 1 million times read more

Friendly Nice barmaids(except andrea very rude) good place to have a cold beer I enjoy it very much.there is no food except domino's pizza slices for a dollar.would be better with food. read more

This place is definitely one of my new places to hang out! read more

The 1st review is a absolute lie.Their friend works here, or owns the place.Very average bar..They put out cold to luke warm food daily.

I came to Martins for Happy hour and I got so much more! I had such a good time and everyone was so friendly. Ryan was the best bartender I could've asked for. Would recommend this place to anyone any day of the week! read more

Sat down at a table for A drink never received service for 20 min so we left, when we left we told the ladies a bout this as they actide like we weren't even there.. Sad place will not go back.. read more

Laura the bartender....perfect quite literally. My old fashion excellent, my friends king cake tini- like they blended up the actual thing it was freaking delicious. Perfect end to our amazing New Orleans Mardi Gras experience. The regulars really make this place. read more

Great craft drinks. The smoke from the ciggies is a little rough, but that's what you get in Jefferson Parish. Good service, but the craft drinks are superb. read more

Martines is a hidden gem. It's small, but the cocktails are terrific and inexpensive, and the bartenders are always friendly. The bar is always clean and there's a nice pool table and dart board. Most of the time, there's free pizza available for customers too! Trivia is fun on Wednesday nights plus there's sometimes comedy shows on Fridays. Check it out! read more

The crowd is a great and lively. The music is nostalgic and wonderful. Come in and enjoy the music and the people. It is a great little gem in old Metairie. read more

Any chance you all would consider going non smoking?? We love your bar but it's so hard for nonsmokers to fully enjoy inside. Maybe even just a night or two a week?? read more

This place has changed owners recently - the fabulous team behind Pal's Lounge bought it. Now it's a way-chillaxed place to grab a beer, watch the game, shoot some pool. Lots of good drink specials. Wi-fi, too! read more

I never write reviews but a great review just won't do this place justice. It was just what we needed. The drinks are really creative and delicious and half what you would pay at other places. The bar has a great vibe and cool music. Our bartender Victoria was friendly and knowledgable and made us feel very at home in a new place. We can't wait to come back. read more

Great place!! I'm newcomer to NOLA and Metairie.. My new "home away from home". Brittney, Tam, Suzy and Kyle great Bartenders. They take time to welcome and ask you how you loke your cocktail. Every type of people blue ans white collar, biker, old, young, gay straight does not matter here. They LOVE dogs welcome too!!! Ladies. They have purse hooks under bar too!! So cool! Wednesday trivia night and food buy Taco s! Smoking allowed inside!!! read more

THE PIZZA IS INSANE!!!! Love this place. Nice local feel. Super laid back and cheap drinks. Love it!

Been here a few times. Always super friendly and attentive... but i am super picky about certain drinks and Ryan has now set the bar a litter higher! Great times and great drinks!!! read more

Oh wow! This place is really great... I've been twice and both bartenders and those nights were great! Victoria could not be better if she tried and the new guy Kurt was just lovely. This is going to be my new hang out. read more

Great drinks, fantastic service. Cute little bar on Metairie Rd next to the Domino's. Kind of a local/divey bar that seems to attract a lot of locals. Pool table and arcade games in the back. Don't expect fancy, do expect locals strangers to strike up candid conversations with you. Only downside is that smoking's permitted inside, but that's Metairie's fault, not Martine's. read more

Went in the early afternoon for drinks and to play pool. It was exactly what we were looking for. The place was well kept and clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. The prices are excellent (crown on the rocks at 5/5.50) and the pours are generous. The pool table is in great condition, although it is a little bit of a squeeze if people are playing pinball or video poker; but, hey, its not a pool hall. They have a decent selection of music on the juke box and the sound/volume was good. You can have a cigar, sit at table or in one of the comfortable "captain's"-esk chairs at the bar. We enjoyed it and will be back. Great neighborhood bar (eventually populated by regulars and locals). Parking is a little tight but that's beyond their control. A few chairs outside as well which are probably nice in non-summer months. read more

Great local bar with a cute decor and super friendly staff and patrons. The bloody marys are super yummy and filled with olives and pickled string beans, okra and bacon! I love this place and always have a great time when I go! read more

I've been searching for decades for my own Cheers. I've found it here!!! Atmosphere is so welcoming. The crowd is eclectic and fun. I've found each of the three bartenders we've met to be craftsmen of the cocktail and have every skill a fantastic barkeep should strive to have. My husband and I couldn't believe how friendly each of the ladies are. The cocktails, oh the cocktails are Devine. Many are very unique,beautiful but reasonably priced. Bottom line, I love this place! read more

Avoid this bar especially when andrea is working. Very anti man vibe bad service overall a bummer.i like a place where you can drink and don't feel like you're almost scared to ask for another drink because the bartender andrea might have to actually move . I thought it was a straight bar but it's not. read more

This is an absolute hidden gem! I've passed by this place for two years and just now made time to stop in tonight, and I'm very sad I haven't stopped in sooner!!! As far as ambience goes, it can't be beat- the regulars are nice people and want all who come in to have a good time..... That's great, but what about the drinks? Well, honestly, from the bottom of my heart, they're phenomenal. A few standbys and a rotating group of concoctions based on seasonally fresh ingredients... Try something seasonal here, it'll be worth it!!! My personal pick at the moment? The fig-cinnamon Manhattan... I've had this Manhattans all over the world, and honestly, all over Manhattan itself, and this is really one of the best versions I've had- bold flavors, but in a familiar way that doesn't betray the original.... Simply perfect.... Add on top of that the impeccable service from Katie and her staff, and you're guaranteed a good night!!! 5 stars, well earned!!! read more

This is a super chill spot with a neighborhood-y vibe. My bartender Katie was super friendly and made great specialty cocktails. I will be back. read more

I have to say I have passed by this bar so many times without coming in... Last night my friend and I did and it was awesome! Victoria was behind the bar and made us feel overly welcome!! It will be our new local spot! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go! read more

I visited Martine's for my first time this afternoon (Saturday). I was totally welcomed by a friendly bartender and what customers were there were extrememly friendly and made me feel like I was with old friends. The beer was ice cold and the ambience and atmosphere was most welcoming. I'll surely make this my neighborhood bar. read more
