About Martuni’s
Martuni’s has been a San Francisco institution since opening as a piano bar on June 27, 1996. Located at the corner of Market and Valencia, the intimate bar has become a favorite of singers, cabaret performers, theater professionals and music lovers, with Broadway performers from touring shows like Wicked known to drop in and sing on their nights off. Over the years, Martuni’s has welcomed numerous notable performers, and in December 2025, pop star Kesha even made a surprise appearance and performed at the piano. The space itself has a colorful LGBTQ+ history, having previously been home to Lily’s, named after Empress Lily Street of the Imperial Court, and briefly the leather bar Motorwerks. Today, Martuni’s remains known for its live piano performances, theatrical atmosphere and, naturally, its famously strong martinis.
