Martyrs' features a musical lineup that is all over the board: a broad mix of genres from traditional bluegrass bands to improvised hip-hop, reggae funk and jazz. Equally impressive is the diverse and fun crowd. You won't feel out of place here since everyone feels welcomed. The venue itself is great gets rave reviews for its acoustics but definitely has a dive bar feel to it. People don't come for the aesthetics. Since there aren't many tables, it makes it hard to eat although food service is available. The entertainment is definitely the draw so if great live music is what you crave, head to Martyrs'.

- Early Entertainment: "If you like Cape Codders (cranberry vodkas), order one here as they are generous in size."
- Best for Early Entertainment Because: Most shows begin around 8pm, some sooner and some later, but the venue is great for live musical shows.
