Mars Bar & Restaurant

Came here after work with a group of coworkers for a happy hour. Divided into three sections, Mars Bar consists of the main bar area, a dance floor, and an outdoor patio dining area. Due to the rain, we pretty much stayed in the bar area the entire time. There are plenty of both table and bar seating options available in the bar area, and both staff and bartenders were quick to take our orders. There is a pretty good selection of bar appetizers to choose from, and everything that we ordered was sizable and enjoyable.The bathroom situation here is a bit oddly constructed. There is a women's restroom inside. But the men's restroom is a separate addition that can only be accessed from the outside.

Hi @david k! Wanted to chime in on what i think Alex S wrote: "place hasn't changed" as i feel it was intended 100 percent positive. He's remembering the great days of the early 2000's. So, my husband and I were literally just sitting here thinking "I wonder if Mars bar is still open." So, we looked you up on Yelp (wishing still there, and the same awesome aesthetic & vibe) to see Yes! It is! And we were happy to see Alex's comment as it addressed what we were hoping to learn. We frequented Mars Bar from 2000-2015 while living in SF. Best place ever and now excited to visit (we moved to Marin 9 years ago) again!

The food menu served here is top notch.*Beautiful place, nice staff, great music(especially Sundays). Happy hours are excellent. Plus an owner who works hard and really cares. Check the website & go check it out!

I love that Mars Bar is divey yet vibrant. This spot is a chill yet fun vibe, especially the back patio on a nice sunny day. Perfect for a quick lunch break or relaxing drink after work, it's truly a versatile space where I feel comfortable coming alone or with a group of friends. They have free pool but the floor is slanted. It's not ideal but one of the staff members was kind enough to stuff some paper plates under one side to help level the table and it worked pretty well. There's regular programming that promotes a strong sense of community, like drag brunch and open mic nights, and the bar staff I've met are so friendly and amazing: Shane is really fun, Noah makes my favorite palomas, and Chance makes me feel extremely taken care of.On top of that, I always get the wings here! They're not that big but it's usually enough for me. I love that they're saucy yet still crispy; get the mango habanero, but if you're not feeling saucy, I also like the lemon pepper.

Tried their pulled pork sandwich, which was good. Loved their onion rings tho which i got as a side. Service was quick and helpful.

Stopped in for lunch while on jury duty. Had a great grilled chicken sandwich with side salad. The choices for side are salad or fries with a Caesar salad, or tater tots for an up charge. The staff was super friendly and service was fast, which is what I needed on limited time. Everything was fresh and very tasty.It was a nice day out, so I ate on the open air patio. I'm glad this place is close to the court house.Also full bar! But not for me today. But I'll be back again for sure.

Had a great time here at Mars Bar. Went to Thursday trivia with a group of friends and ended up winning a few rounds. Prizes varied from drink vouchers to shirts. The bartenders were kind and funny, and regularly came up to us to check if we needed anything. The patrons of the bar here seem to be regulars, but everyone was friendly to us. The venue itself is larger on the inside than what I expected. There is a covered outside patio part that has space for live music events. We ordered various rounds of drinks and onion rings, which was great. The pool table in the back was slanted, which made it unplayable. The bathrooms are all the way in the back by the outside patio.

My friends made a wedding party in this bar, servers were friendly and active, food is really tasty! I don't know about prices but I think it's also fine

If you're nostalgic for late 90's / early 00's SF, this place hasn't changed. Stopped in for a beer and some fish & chips. Still solid.

Terrible Customer service!I walked into the restaurant to place an order. I briefly stood their she would attend to me, then I moved towards the end of the counter where she was headed. I stood their for about five minutes, I never got any acknowledgement..As a matter of fact she served drinks to about other people as I stood their waiting patiently. When I seen I wasn't about to be served or Acknowledge I ea quietly walked out.This is so disheartening because alot of my coworkers like this spot, but the service I just received was down right Shity!! .....YALL NEED TO DO BETTER
