Fun, all including dive bar. Good drinks and friendly patrons. The staff is a bit short handed for the volume of business but they do well regardless.

The Myth, The Legend: Marys in EAV!(A Narrative)Fearing to be too-on-the-nose with my initial metaphor - if but for decorums sake - the front glass is so tinted as to suggest that this landmark was unoccupied from the outside: Incorrect!Although a slow night, the establishment was filled with a vibrancy of life and energy, as indicated by the warm welcome from the bartender and his affirmation of the validity of my timorously ordered PBR.Lucio Fulci trailers were on the monitors; relevant house music - which nonetheless tastefully cited from both the Chicago and Detroit epochs- induced a rhythm to the occupants movements; old friends were met and flirtations tastefully exchanged.Top shelf! Thank you!

People take themselves too seriously. For those who don’t, there’s Mary’s. Hole in the wall establishment with a local and loyal clientele. It’s a bar with generous drinks and honest pours.The people are friendly and I felt incredibly welcome. Definitely go and check this out if you’re nearby. Saturday karaoke was fun and the host was a crowd pleaser.

They often have entertaining events. Friendly staff. No cover. Decent/good food like tacos, wings, fries, etc.

I REALLY WISH I COULD GIVE MARYS 0 STARS! I am going to speak from the persective of a queer, black organizer & performer in Atlanta... The staff of Marys has been rude to me every single time I go there! They have never made me feel safe or welcomed! There arent a lot of places for the LGBTQ community to go in Atlanta, so I have continued to support events here, but I am honestly at the point that I can never go back! I want to stress that I have never had any problems with profiling or discrimination at any other bar in Atlanta & Ive lived here my entire life & Im very involved with event planning. Over the years Ive heard transphobic remarks, racist remarks & plenty of comments from people in the community that they do not feel safe or welcomed there! This place functions as a bar & a bussiness, they are not about the community which-so-ever & I hope that eventually they go out of bussiness! Its also the worst bar to host a show because its also crowded & hard to see unless you are at the very front! Please save your money & support another bar or space, Marys is trash!

The bartenders are extremely rude. Customer Service is a foreign concept. I will never return to this bar. There was an employee who was rude to the patrons as they were leaving rushing everyone so he could go home.Stay away until they get some decent employees who care about their customers.

Super fun! It has a great crowd and really friendly atmosphere. Its very different from the judgmental pretty boys crowd you usually end up seeing at Ten or Blakes. Definitely recommended for the non pretentious types.

Was my first time their. Enjoyed the Karaoke and the crowed singing longer with the singer. The venue is somewhat tight. And the balcony level is awesome.

If youre looking for a bar that is the antithesis of the Midtown gay scene, Marys is one of your best contenders. At its core, its a neighborhood bar that has a range of theme nights (karaoke night, movie night, etc). For their parties they keep the dj rotation fresh, so unless you know what the party is specifically that theyre having that night, you never really know what kind of music to expect. They got rid of smoking indoors in the weekends but still allow it during the week.

I love Mary’s. Great, cozy dive bar with eccentric decorations and interesting patrons. The bartenders can be hit or miss sometimes. I wish they’d get another bathroom.The guy that runs kareoke is awful. Don’t bother putting in a song request. He can be bribed to play your song but with so many kareokespots around town what’s the point?

This Is Not a safe space for femmes or poc. I used the upstairs bathroom on a slow night, and the bartender used a key to bust in and scream at me violently while i was half naked and peeing. He then totally humiliated me in front of everyone when I came out by screaming in my face for 5 minutes straight, while I continuously tried to apologize. The bartender Matt is a giant tall white dude, who doesnt need to be screaming in the faces of small queer femmes. He has also silenced friends of mine who are queer people of color, when they were trying to use thier own emotional labor to explain why something he and his friend had done could be considered as oppressive. Instead of listening, he again, became violent, defensive, and angry. Saying I dont allow politics in my bar oh, but violent, oppressive, mysogynistic and racist behaviors are ok?? Ok..Again, until these behaviors are resolved, this is not a safe place.Ive heard of other complaints from friends as well, but they say if you speak up about anything, that they will deny your future entry into the bar. There are so very few decent gay and queer spaces in the city for dancing, so people are afraid to be heard, and thats not right.Someone should do something about the way he treats people. Its not ok.

Would not return. Bartender was rude and unwelcoming. It took about 10min for him to take a drink order. Mind you it was only four people there. Website states they close around 2. My friend and I was sitting at the bar around 1230 they turned the lights on and said we close now.
