Mars Bar

Very Divey - and not in a yuppie way
4 Star Rating: Recommended

08/07/2002 Posted by obeline

this is a real dive bar. it's small, dark, dirty, and full of punk rockers and middle-aged alcoholics (think alcoholics with no job, as opposed to alcoholics who don't like their jobs). it's the kind of place where you really don't want to use the bathrooms. if you want a pure dive, this is it. if you're looking for a "dive" that will be hot next year, this is not your place.

The last Bowery bar where bohemia crashes and burns.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

On the Menu

The cheap bottled beers make fine chasers, but Mars is about liquor. Ask for a shot and the tattooed barmaid babe will fill your glass. A warning: Stay with priced-to-move top-shelf liquors. The house hooch is too close to gasoline.
