Danny A and Bar Martignetti’s Don’t Jive

netti’s

Anthony Martignetti, one of the burly prepster brothers behind the succesful Bar Martignetti’s, is now feeling a bit of the burn after going the page 6 route for his new club called Upstairs above Cafe Bari.  That’s right, the cat’s out of the bag, Anthony and Tom are part of the crew behind the sceney “secret” hot spot.  Having built Martignetti’s (aka “Netti’s”) on the laid-back-preppy-vibe, a style that Dorian’s created and the boys Martignetti perfected, Anthony is deeply regretting the hiring of famed celebrity A-list promoter Danny A to promote Upstairs.

This “secret” above Cafe Bari down the street from “Netti’s” is no longer a secret (Micah Jesse is even getting in)…and Anthony is PISSED.  He INSISTS that he and his brother did not get into the business to get laid or become “too cool for school”, and now Danny A is keeping him up at night as he ponders the future of what should have been a logical extension of Netti’s.  Anthony himself recently said in the Observer “We’re not going the page six route, we’d never date a Hilton or an Olsen. Never at all.” 

Martignetti’s

Well Anthony, you already did, and you better figure your shit out sooner rather than later.  This winter, Danny A managed to ruin Door in one month.  Hiring Danny A to keep your establishment laid back and unpretentious is like saying that you stay in shape by smoking.

    I hope Bar Martingnetti explodes. While filled with its douchebag preppy investment banking clientele. I walked into this place once, and was so horrified that I turned around and left immediately.

    I love that place. Anthony is COOL.

    Douche-tastic! Hey guys, could you open your shirts a bit more? Because the beauty of your doughy, greasy faces could only be eclipsed by the forest of chest pubes waiting to bounce springily forth.

    ::swoon::

    Everything about these clowns is yuck.

    Umm I’m sorry, do the Martignetti brothers REALLY think that they can classify themselves as preppy? With the pit stains and the huge honkers, these grease monkey sloths clearly belong in dirty Jerse.

    TONES, don’t get your panties all in a bunch. Your perfected preppy hang out will still fill up with insecure investment bankers and cliché chicks who aspire to be in their TOP 3 drunk dials..

    Dapper Danny A has done you a favour (sic) and will merely lure the nouveau and improved clientele that may show up at Café Bari. Why do you care so much anyway? Danielson will keep you in pink shirts til xmas- HOW FANCY!

    Suck a D, Nettis rocks and you suck c*cks

    They are fat-ass losers. The food is good at Bar Martignetti though.

    i was recently sandwiched betwixt both these massholes. I felt like the lean veggie patty between a fried egg and some fleshy bacon. oh, and did i mention they were chanting “GO NETTI’S, GO NETTI’S, GO!” while high-fiving. wait, this didn’t happen but it’s a dream of mine. Just like their baseless dream of turning NYC bar scene around. Anyone who proclaims they have an elite “preppy” club can wax my b-hole. the netti ball sack boys should chili dog each other.

    These guys so wish they were old money WASPs. But they will always be nouveau riche trash. Greasy wolves in sheeps clothing. Keep trying boys, you’ll still never get into any club that matters.

  10. HeatherB10 - September 26th, 2007

    This place is super chill, I love it! Specially the cocktails, there’s one called Canton 75 I tried last time, amazing!

  11. Anonymous - September 27th, 2007

    Nouveau Riche or not I don’t care… The place is great and the cocktails beyond fabulous def try them…

  12. I don't wear pants at Dorian's! - May 27th, 2008

    This is what happens when NJ’s finest get admitted to small liberal arts colleges and relinquish gold chains and tanktops for seersucker and tartan… Not that there’s anything wrong with that. When good bars happen to bad people…

    Despite the suave ownership, one of barkeeps does make a mean Old Fashioned.
