There is something about a good Martini on a Friday night. After lunch on the last day of a long work week I often find myself craving vodka soaked olives.
Call me crazy, or an alcoholic, or a crazy alcoholic who spends way too much time thinking about olives, but Martinis never get old. And you know what the best thing about them is - if you find your self immersed in Martini culture, there never seems to be an end to the possibilities of a good Martini.
With a selection of 40+ martinis, Martinis Above Fourth in Hillcrest offers something for everyone. While a moderately ritzy, refined lounge, this upscale Martini bar has preserved a certain level of down to earth charm. Sitting in Martinis Above Fourth makes you feel like Hillcrest is really a small town within a big city.
Martinis Above Fourth is a great place to host a private party. They offer a private rooms complete with personal waiters that don't require a minimum or a service charge.
Their Executive Chef has established an extensive menu (try the scalloped potatoes), and the entertainment featuring Vegas style lounge act Laura Jane and Franco Z will make you swoon. If you are lucky enough to get in for the always packed Babette Bingo Brunch, you're in for a treat!
Insider tip: Be sure to park next door in the Bread & Cie parking lot for $6 or else you'll be 45 minutes late from driving around Hillcrest in search of a parking spot.
