Martuni's

The Haight & Hayes Valley


Slip behind the velvet curtains into the city's top piano bar, where the rainbow spectrum of regulars seems to have memorized the words to every show tune. Comedy nights are a blast and sing-alongs a given – especially after a couple of top-notch watermelon, pepper-cucumber, lemon-drop or chocolate martinis under $10. Straight-friendly, especially if you sing from the heart.
