I’ve been a member of the Mars Bar family since moving into a loft directly across the street in 2006 & since have moved but it is when I fell upon the local bar, hang & music place of business. Their food has always been extraordinary for “bar food” & the music is some of the best of all bars hands down. Friends of 20 plus years enjoying the space ritually for many occasions. Moving next door was a bonus literally. Even though we already knew mars was the place to be for countless after parties for huge loft parties over the holidays & even where we celebrated wakes for those who have gone to soon.

Read more5 STARS for Alex the BARBACK ALEX!!! I haven't seen him in years. This establishment should be fortunate. Precious 💎 are forever! The downfall of tonight was the Kitchen was CLOSED at 8:59 per the female bartender & at 9:59pm...We were asked to leave because the bartender had a date with her boyfriend (heard her on the phone). We came here because I met Keith years ago and I owed him a visit. If it wasn't for Alex, I would have voted but I wanna thank Alex for being a rock star and serving his employee meal to my friend. 2 mozzarella stigs because he felt bad.... We won't be back, but we will see alex...
