We had the pleasure of celebrating our family members' birthdays at Martin's on last Saturday. We reserved the private dining room and everything was amazing. The decor, energy, food, and service were top tier. Many of us ordered the fried catfish and it was delicious! The drinks were just as good and everything was reasonably priced. The service was friendly, fast, and very accommodating. We enjoyed it so much that we wanted to stay longer. Lol. Our host, Brianna, was wonderful! She did an awesome job along with the rest of the staff. We will definitely be back. Family friendly place with great energy as well!

The service was exceptional food out of this world good if I was able to go back every week I will be this is in the heartland of Jackson Mississippi. If you want some great steaks better than any I have ever eaten before and pasta out of this world may I suggest the Cajun Crawfish pasta and the Ribeyes are awesome and they also have steak bites smothered with onions and peppers. There menu is just to die for I highly highly recommend that you eat here before you leave Jackson Mississippi

Amazing food, definitely recommend the fried chicken. It’s a semi-casual bar kind of feel and a great atmosphere

Conversation with Gemini Rate in a write up at Martin's bar and grill downtown Jackson Mississippi Martin's Downtown 4.5 🎶 Live music venue Closed · Opens 11:00 AM Martin's Downtown is a cornerstone of the downtown Jackson social scene, operating as a versatile "three-in-one" destination: a reliable blue-plate lunch spot, a lively evening bar, and one of the city's premier live music venues. Located on State Street, it maintains a gritty, authentic "local mainstay" vibe that appeals equally to the downtown professional crowd and the late-night music community. Culinary Highlights: The menu focuses on elevated Southern pub fare. The "Blue Plate" lunch specials are a local tradition, featuring rotating classics like meatloaf, pot roast, and fried chicken. Signature items like the Boss Hawg Fries (topped with smoked pork and queso) and the Mardi Gras Pasta are frequently cited as fan favorites. Live Music Venue: Beyond the food, it is a vital hub for regional and touring acts. The back room features a professional stage and sound system that hosts everything from blues and jam bands to indie rock and tribute acts. It is known for an intimate atmosphere where fans can get close to the performance. Atmosphere & Service: The environment is unpretentious and high-energy, especially on weekends. Reviewers often highlight the long-standing staff and a welcoming "everyone knows everyone" feel. The recent addition of a larger parking lot and expanded event stage has significantly improved the logistical experience for visitors. Drink Selection: It boasts an extensive beer list with a strong selection of regional craft brews on tap, making it a popular spot for after-work happy hours or "Mic Drop"

Martin’s Downtown is an awesome venue for live events and shows. The space has a great layout, solid sound, and an energetic atmosphere that makes concerts feel personal and immersive. It’s the kind of place where you can really feel connected to the performance. I recently went on December 26 and saw TVBOO, and he was absolutely amazing. The crowd energy, lighting, and overall vibe made it an unforgettable night. Martin’s consistently brings in great artists and puts on well-run events, making it one of the best spots downtown for live music and shows.

Everyone is so friendly ~ staff and patrons alike. Marie was so welcoming! The ultimate hushpuppies with bacon and jalapeños is a must! 😋 traveled from Colorado specifically for a band and the venue was perfect for live music. We will definitely be back. …

Visited on a Friday afternoon around 16:00. Everywhere seemed very quiet, but when we went in we were quite surprised at the number of people here. Great service and good food. Staff very friendly and helpful. If you are in Jackson, this is a great place to go.

Our first time here was AMAZING! The service was great, and the food was cooked to perfection! The atmosphere was nice, and everyone was SO friendly. My daughter said, "Ma, we HAVE to come back here!". I agree wholeheartedly with her. I can't wait to return.
