This tavern looks small from the outside but stretches far back past the bar to a stage and a big area of tables and chairs. Smoking is allowed in the bar area, and there is only one small restroom each for Men and Women, but these are small inconveniences for the excellent live music. Parking is available on the nearby streets.

Always a good time at Martha's for good blues! Step back in time and listen to musicians from Chicago, LA & all over! Reasonable cover too!

Martha's midway was and is a great place to see live up close blues and jazz acts,the atmosphere of the cozy little place is great,but over the years it has kind of fallen on hard times(with owners health problems and other factors) and is now in very bad need of repairs and an update,Martha's has been a great asset to the community with helping people find their loves of blues and jazz music in an area where we don't have a lot of these kinds of clubs.The ownership does try hard but without more support and acknowledgement this landmark(which was at one time visited by Al Capone and his crew i was told) may fall by the wayside.

This place brings in some great music! It has been around awhile and has some wonderful history. If you want a good seat, be sure to call ahead and reserve a table. We've lived in Austin, Texas and when we go to the Midway Tavern, it's like being back in Austin with all the great music there!

Martha's is a great little neighborhood bar that books a variety of music but mainly the Blues. The owner is in her 80's and still working and enjoying it. Bar goes back to the days of Capone and the like. It is a fun place to visit. Fee depends on the band.
