It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Siberia’s own Dave Martin. Dave was loved by all who knew him, unless you tipped in coins or played Madonna on the jukebox. His gravelly voice and deep laugh will never fade from our memory.
Share your photos and stories of Dave on this page.

“No matter how badly you behave at night, no one will remember tomorrow. You never know who’s going to be draped over couches or listening to live bands in the dungeon-like cellar — rook-and-rollers, off-duty cops, drunken journos, cast and crew from ‘Saturday Night Live,’ slumming fashionistas, post-work chefs, kinky politicos, out-of-work bone-breakers, or nodding st*****rs. lt’s heaven.” -Anthony Bourdain on Siberia Bar

Anthony Bourdain’s old drinking buddy Tracy Westmoreland remembers the good time – and probably not much else.
