What People Are Saying About Mary's

In Short – All are welcome at Mary's, part friendly neighborhood bar, part dance party. Choose the narrow downstairs bar for mingling and dancing or the upstairs nook for lounging and looking fabulous. Named the Best Gay Bar in America by LOGO, this hipster hangout is a draw for men, women, gay and straight. Patrons make the most of the small space: showing their stuff on the tiny dance floor, checking out the downstairs crowd from the upstairs bar or kicking their karaoke skills on Tuesday and Saturday nights. The campy drink menu, with such popular Marytinis as the Virgin Mary and…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Ask the bartender for a complete list of the potent martini concoctions.
- In Tune:
- Karaoke is so popular here it happens two nights--Tuesday and Saturday at 10:30pm. Get there early for a good spot.

Hail Mary's full of liquor!

Mary's is truly one of the most down-to-earth bars in Atlanta. The best night to go is Friday's after 10pm. It's a really great mix of men ranging from otters, bears, daddies, mixed with mods, hipsters, locals and even a woman or two...Fun times, easy crowd, great staff...videos on Friday's are awesome and if no VJ the DJs they bring in think outside of the box...its always a treat!
This USED to be a great place

Whoever this new lady bartender is working at Mary's has just ruined the whole place. She has made so many people I know say they will never go back there again. I would suggest another bar, rather than go through the aches of that nightmare of a woman.
- Pros: Normally a great, friendly staff
- Cons: New female bartender

I hadn't been to East Atlanta in a few years but what changes! I was expecting it to be a dangerous slum neighborhood but was shocked to see that it was actually quite nice! There's even a bunch of new retailers a couple of blocks down from the bar like Bestbuy and Lowes. Anyway that should clear up any hesitations about the neighborhood it's in. And boy did I hesitate for that reason.
I felt like it was a trendy crowd. Lots of straight'uns, mixed about 45 Les/45 Gay/10 str.
A bit loud on Karaoke night but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The place was jam packed. I counted only about 100 people and there was no room to walk or even stand. For that reason I was a bit uncomfortable however I would return in the future. Parking behind the place was easy and free.
- Pros: Nice upscale crowd, free parking, easy to get to
- Cons: No room to stand/walk
BRAINSHATTERING
by Faustine
When I first moved to Atlanta from Rotterdam, my soul despaired. Every night, as the sun dipped below the horizon and darkness blanketed the city, I would cry out in anguish, "House, why hath thou forsaken me?!?" There was no answer.
Then, one evening as I traipsed the streets of East Atlanta with my blood laden with chemicals and ketones and my body swathed in a green Elizabethan lace catsuit by John Galliano for Christian Dior haute couture and my feet bound up in a pair of tattered black Reeboks, a familiar pulsation reached my brain: It was house. Emanating from Mary's, the familiar strains of house beckoned me. I entered the bar, and I have never looked back. Forgive me.
- Pros: The beat, Hot VJ's, House
- Cons: I'm addicted
