Marty’s

Typical college bar, cheap drinks. There is a nice patio and its in a good location right off of campus.

A little too frat-​tastic for me… the people who go there are more of the Jersey Shore type.

Extremely rude people at this place, especially the DJ! I went there on a night that was dead and went to the jukebox to play some tunes. Little did I know that they had a «DJ» that night (mainly because the so-​called «DJ» didn’t say anything and just played song after song, so it sounded like a jukebox). So I put a dollar in the jukebox and tried to play some music. Little did I know that they weren’t using the jukebox. The rude staff at the bar didn’t even put up a sign on the jukebox and noticed that I was using it. They could have mentioned a little «hey, it isn’t on today, and you have to go to a DJ».
Therefore I decided to ask for my dollar back, since the music that night was free. Yeah, it was only a dollar, but it was the principal that matter. The so-​called DJ (who looked like a Chechen rebel) told the so-​called bartender that he couldn’t give me my dollar back and that I could «come back tomorrow and listen to the song I selected». Of course, the server, with an IQ of about 20, was dumb enough to tell me what he said. I went up to him and said «since I don’t want to come back tomorrow, play my damn music». Luckily he did.
Just the rudeness of this place is amazing. In addition to that, the so-​called bartenders didn’t know a damn thing about making drinks. The eye candy that they have as «bartenders» didn’t seven know what a 7-​and-​7 was. Really? I guess it only takes that IQ of 20 to pour pitchers of beer. But if you want something advanced, you need an IQ over 50!

Worst service I have ever experienced in charleston and the bartenders are very rude. One of the male bartenders only serviced the girls and ignored my request for a drink almost 5 times until I left. Poor

Marty’s has fantastic food. They have great deals on the food too, which keeps those frugal college students lining up outside.
They have happy hour every Friday… which I used to frequent, because this place becomes Sorority and Frat HEAVEN after about 10 p.m.
I go in for happy hour, have about 4 – 5 Long Islands and left before the madness occured.
The DJ was sometimes a tool, he played some pretty cheesy songs every once in a while… but when he isn’t there the place has pretty decent music going. Mainly because my friends and I would take over the Juke Box…
Always a good time at this place…
And please, just don’t ride the panther when you leave. Seriously?

It’s always worth it when you’ve seen someone have one too many and ride the panther statue out front.
