For more than 40 years, Christopher Martins has been the cornerstone of New Haven’s Upper State Street revival — a true neighborhood institution where great food, great drinks, and great people come together.
Our Pub is the quintessential neighborhood bar — lively, welcoming, and full of character. Whether you’re here for a cold beer and a burger, catching up with friends, or cheering on your favorite team, you’ll feel right at home. With three TVs, including a massive 8-foot big screen, we’re the go-to spot to watch every big game.
Hungry? Our Pub Menu is packed with local favorites: hearty sandwiches, loaded nachos, crisp salads, and what many call New Haven’s best hamburger. And when the weather’s right, grab a seat on the patio — there’s nothing better than a burger and beer outdoors.
Come experience why generations have made Christopher Martins their neighborhood gathering place. It’s all about great food, great drinks, and great company — in a fun, casual atmosphere that’s pure New Haven.
REVIEWS
Stepping into Christopher Martins Restaurant feels like joining a lively community where the warm atmosphere and vibrant energy makes every visit an unforgettable experience.
Honestly can’t beat how delicious the burgers are, and for such a fair price..! We used to order from Prime 16, but Christopher Martins does burgers better. They seem to have a better handle of how to actually cook them right, so we have switched!
Great place with awesome food and drinks and a talented friendly bar staff! We come back again and again and never leave disappointed!
