The side of the club that faces the street is all windows, giving an ample view of the interior to all who pass by. If you decide to take the plunge, there's a ticket window just inside the door where you pay the cover and get your hand stamped.
Bar tables line the business side of the aforementioned windows.
The stage and the main bar run parallel to each other with a generous amount of floor space in between for mingling, dancing and people watching. A smaller bar is in the back next to the entrance to the kitchen and across from the bathrooms. For those who crave stimulation from cathode ray tubes, there's a TV and a video golf game. Great live performances like this one by Chris Whitley can be seen on Martyrs' stage. Although the style of music depends on the band, the sound is invariably top notch.
