Martha Local Bar
Welcome to Martha Local Bar, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Lafayette, Indiana. Located at 522 S 4th St, Martha's is not just another bar; it is a culinary experience that delights both the palate and the spirit. Known for its friendly atmosphere and attentive service, this establishment stands out with its unique offerings and welcoming vibe.
One of the crowning jewels of Martha Local Bar is undoubtedly its famed breaded tenderloin sandwich. According to local patron Mary Werner, it is "probably the best" in Lafayette. Fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked, this sandwich elevates the standard pub fare to a whole new level. Add to this a selection of cold beers and the charm of real silverware, and you have a combination that makes dining here a tasteful pleasure rather than a mere meal.
While some may be hesitant at the thought of a smoking establishment, as noted by Rachel Munds, Martha Local Bar surprises with a clean atmosphere devoid of any smoke smell.

The tacos, praised as some of the best in the area, boast overwhelming flavors that ensure a visit is never dull. Pair your meal with the delightful TACO TUESDAY specials, and you might just find yourself coming back several times a week!
And let's not forget the wings. Regulars insist that they are simply unforgettable, and the owner, Martha herself, is the heartbeat of this lovely bar. She radiates warmth and hospitality, making every guest feel special. This character is echoed in the convivial service offered by the dedicated staff, who enhance the overall experience with their charm and attentiveness.
Martha Local Bar is more than a dining spot; it's a community hub where food, friendships, and fun converge. Whether you are indulging in their succulent wings, savoring top-notch tacos, or enjoying a refreshing drink, you will find that each visit is filled with delightful surprises and warm smiles. Make sure to pay this inviting bar a visit—your taste buds will thank you!

“ Probably the best breaded tenderloin sandwich in Lafayette. Large, fresh, juicy tenderloin, not dry or over cooked. Cold beer and real silverware, not the plastic forks found at other bars. Our bartender was awesome. We’ll be back to try other meals soon and definitely the tenderloin sandwich again. ”
“ Worth coming to! I was hesitant to come eat here as it is a smoking place BUT it doesn't smell of smoke and when I was there no one was smoking. It has some of the best tacos in the area. Good beer. Great people. Friendly, welcoming service! They make you feel at home the moment you sit down. It's nothing fancy inside, just a bar, but what it lacks in atmosphere they more than make up for with food and service. A must try. ”

“ Seems like this bar is under new ownership within the past week or so. Family run bar with everyone so friendly. Heard someone come in talking about being surprised on how clean it is now. They are reworking the menu and adding fresh and homemade tacos and other Mexican food. Ceviche and chips were wonderful and looking forward to trying their tacos. Oh and domestic bottles were only a couple bucks ”
