We had a fun time trying cocktails at The Young American! Tiffany was fabulous and provided amazing drink suggestions. If there was an additional seating section, I think that would make the establishment more accessible to others. While the seats at the bar are very high quality and have great features, they aren’t ideal to get comfy with a drink This is my only real reason for removing a star. It’s also unfortunate that as soon as they reach capacity, they have to turn people away. An additional seating section would help with that issue as well. Many in this area may find the prices a bit steep. However, keep in mind that this isn’t a quick and cheap bar; these are handcrafted cocktails with top shelf ingredients. We will definitely return and try other cocktails when it’s less busy! We never had a chance to try their food menu so we’d like to give that a shot as well.

My husband and I went to The Young American this weekend, I’m not a huge drinker, but we decided to give it a try because I love Jazz music. I’ve only ever had an espresso martini, but I stepped out of my comfort zone ( after having my usual pick), and it was phenomenal.
The menu options were amazing and really unique.
The staff were so kind, attentive and personable all the way down to the chef who came out and gave us our fruit and cheese board.
Great addition to downtown Martinsburg, we definitely will be going again with friends 🙂

Just discovered this new gem of a martini bar, and it’s absolutely lovely! The ambiance is chic yet cozy, making it a great spot to unwind. The drinks are perfectly crafted—balanced, flavorful, and smooth. It’s clear they put thought into every cocktail. Highly recommend for a classy night out!
My bartender Kayla was amazing!!

We heard about The Young American opening back in May and were excitedly waiting for it to open. Maybe the anticipation raised my expectaions too high, the experience was just ok.
Atmosphere looks great when you walk in, old time warm charm, brick walls, wood bar, leather stools. It is a very narrow space and even though there was only one other couple, the narrow nature felt claustophobic to me. Loved the jazz though it was pretty loud. Stools were cushioned, but hard to move.
BE AWARE: their dry martini is made with lemon juice, vodka or gin, vermouth and garnished with olives. The lemon juice with an olive is quite odd to me and honestly ruined the drink because typically a dry martini is made with only a little vermouth – the less vermouth, the drier the martini – and garnished with olives OR a citris twist.
I guess it was our mistake in not reading the menu (which has an over whelming number of drinks on it) but everywhere we drink/dine, we always order the same ‘ dry vodka martini with olives and a dirty gin martini’ and for over 20 years of drinking martinis have never had lemon juice in a dry martini
My husband was excited to try a new vodka and unfortunately has no idea what it tastes like due to the lemon juice.
Service was a little slow, and only on the ‘pleasant’ level
Street parking
Undecided if we will give them a second chance.

The owners hosted an “After Work Hours” mixer for the Martinsburg/Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce. Great time with New & Old Friends in a cozy, beautiful bar atmosphere. Thanks to All involved in arranging this event !

Really enjoyed our visit to The Young American. Everyone who works there was so kind and attentive to the customers! I had an expresso martini and it was delicious! My only suggestion is if you’re going with more than 3 people, maybe call ahead as seats are VERY limited and it’s a tight squeeze to walk behind others at the bar. Other than that, it’s a great little addition to downtown.
