can we call it Fountain Square's newest Mynt'ed martini bar?
Fountain Square and downtown have been going strength to strength lately and Mynt Martini is no exception. The newest bars keep upping the ante and last week a bunch of us put forth the proposition, has downtown hit a saturation point for new bars?
I THINK NOT
Not when they're minting new ones like this, wild open, comfy and some crazy drinks.
The excitement starts just walking up.
We're twittering away, and who do we see on twittering away at the bar? tstewart2, how crazy is that? But before she can duck out a back door we spot her and drag her back in.
My one complaint may be the lack of manly drinks, the martinis were all fruity, might fall back to beer, who knows.
I got nothing, what ever it was, I was staying out of it?
It was early and quiet, I don't expect them to have much free time standing around once everyone finds out about this cool little place.
And its all steps away from the lady in the fountain, it can't get any better than that.
Which gets me thinking, remember a few years ago, the CAVE* men calling the Fountain Square renovations a boondoggle? It would never bring anyone downtown they said, it was impracticable, unusable, once the newness wore off it would be barren? And now the square is fully built out with hours long waits to get on the ice rink.
Time and time again we see how people sitting out in Anderson Twnshp know nothing about the city or how people consume it.

Wow. Was just telling my husband that I want to try it out but was lacking the descriptive words (since I really had no idea what it was like) to make it seem attractive. this should help. Guess it's going to be crazy New Years Eve but I'm tempted to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteSince you brought it up, what is their beer selection like? Hoperatives worthy?
ReplyDeleteNo taps so it all of the Mich Ultra and bud light variety.
ReplyDeleteCourtney,
ReplyDeleteThe owners of Mynt Martini told me that they will have a strict cap on the number of people at their NYE party. You should go and buy your tickets now and Mynt ownership guarantees you plenty of elbow room and a great time.
Great pictures btw 5chw4r7z...I'm loving the couches outside like the ones they have on Via Vite's rooftop terrace just next door. I'm also loving the lighting effect on the bar. Can't wait for my NYE at Mynt.
This place looks interesting. Will have to stop by next time we are downtown at night.
ReplyDeleteServer outfits are "interesting."
The server outfits remind me of the ones at Bootsy's. Will report back after I see them firsthand tonight.
ReplyDeleteHung out at the bar yesterday watching the game with friends. We had a good time. I can only afford the happy hour $5 drinks.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that bugs me are the green walls. Something about it evokes psych hospital. I guess I have been watching too many Ghost shows on cable where they hang out in such places.
