Mars Bar — Restaurant in Lyons Township

Last Saturday, I decided to take a trip to Mars Bar, and let me tell you, I didn’t need a spaceship to get there, but I sure needed one to leave. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt like I’d been teleported to a galaxy far, far away where the party never stops.

First off, the DJ. This guy must’ve trained with NASA because he took us on a musical journey that was out of this world. One minute, we were bouncing to hip hop like kangaroos on a trampoline, then suddenly we were grooving to house music like we were in a spaceship’s zero-gravity dance-off. Just as I thought I’d landed, BAM! Reggaeton hits, and we were all shaking our booties like intergalactic maracas. I’m pretty sure I saw someone moonwalking for real—Michael Jackson would’ve been proud.

Now, let’s talk bottle service. Picture this: stunning bottle service girls who look like they just walked off a sci-fi movie set. These ladies could navigate an asteroid field in stilettos. Every time they brought out a bottle, it was like a mini-supernova—sparklers, lights, the whole shebang. They didn’t just serve drinks; they delivered liquid joy with a side of stardust. I swear, one of them winked at me and I think my heart actually did a backflip.

The bartenders? Oh boy, these girls must have PhDs in Mixology and Astrophysics. They concoct drinks that could make a black hole smile. I ordered a cocktail called “Pepino Drink” and after the first sip, I was seeing stars. By the second sip, I was contemplating my life choices and by the third, I was convinced I could see Martian landscapes. They don’t just mix drinks; they mix dimensions.

And the food—oh, the food. Mars Bar’s birria tacos are nothing short of a culinary miracle. I’m convinced they have a Martian abuela back there, cooking up tacos that make your taste buds do the cha-cha. These tacos were so good, they could probably broker world peace. Crunchy, juicy, and bursting with flavor, they made me question why I’ve ever eaten anything else. The only tragedy? The kitchen closes at 10 pm, so get there before the Earthlings devour them all.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a bar that’s more than just a bar, Mars Bar is your cosmic playground. With epic music, stellar bottle service, out-of-this-world food, and an atmosphere that’s truly interstellar, you’ll feel like you’re partying on another planet. Just don’t be surprised if you need a spaceship to get...

Visited for the first time on the evening of June 3rd and asked for a Jameson on the rocks. I did NOT request a double Jameson on the rocks. While sipping my drink at the bar, I was reading many of their reviews of which many are "Not Good." I wish I can give this establishment NEGATIVE -5 Stars.

I decided to close out my ONE drink tab due to the uncertainty of the cost. To my unpleasant surprise, my ONE drink tab (Jameson on the rocks) cost $19.02 ($17.50 + $1.52 total taxes). I shared with the server my disappointed in the amount charged. I initially thought they had charged me for two drinks. The server explained the purpose of the cost with this quote: "When you order a Jameson on the rocks, it's automatically charged as a double Jameson." I told her that I did NOT order a double and that I should not be charged for a double. She was adamant that an order of Jameson on the rocks is automatically served and charged as a double Jameson on the rocks.

NEVER again will I enter this establishment. This experience has been shared on Yelp and soon with the Better Business Bureau as well. As I was exiting, I shared my disappointment with the security personnel who appears to be a nice man. He was flabbergasted...could not believe I was charged that amount for ONE drink, especially when I did NOT specify "double." There isn't a high-end restaurant or bar in the country that will charge that amount for that specific drink nor in that manner.

Mars Bar Lounge MUST be hurting for revenue to intentionally overcharge customers in the manner I was overcharged. The entire operation of this business is suspect. I'd like to see a background check of ALL the servers. I would not be surprised if criminal background exists due to the robbery they are committing with intentional over charging. They should post a sign or warning stating, "Mars Bar Lounge intentionally overcharges so order a beverage at your own risk." Hence, anyone should enter this establishment understanding the high probability of being overcharged.

Their name should be Mars "The...

Decided to host my birthday gathering here and it was a great time! The bartenders were really nice and drinks 🍸 even better. Not super expensive like other places we've been. Got a chance to meet the owner who allowed me to wear my non threatening Tejana hat inside, so HUGE shoutout to him. Security was on point and nice enough as well! No cover at door and the DJ started bumping around 10pm. Needless to say, we'll be back for sure and will recommend to others looking for great music, cheap drinks, and a good time. Also the kitchen closes a bit early (9pm I think) but you're allowed to ubereats or whatever to the place so another...
