Editorial Review for The Mark – by Tony Ware
The Scene
Sleek, clean lines now define the intimate Fairlie-Poplar space that once housed opulent, Asian-inspired Karma. Elegantly casual disco-deco decor reigns in the main bar, sub-basement dance floor and VIP area. Molded-plastic bar stools and salon chairs are everywhere, and except for several padded settees, provide all the seating. Self-conscious metrosexual males and equally fashion-focused females compete for attention with eye-catching props like embedded televisions, cascading water and terrariums.
The Draw
The club's comfortable vibe belies its exclusive appearance. Add an attentive, free-pouring bar staff to the relaxed atmosphere, and the result is a big temptation to cozy in for the evening. The nightly itinerary, increasing in intensity from Monday to Saturday, includes laid-back independent film screenings and high-energy thumping house.

Insider Tips
ParkingValet, located in front of the Poplar Street entrance, is $8. If you're willing to walk a block, try the $4 secured garage on Luckie Street.
When to GoFriday and Saturday may be the most popular nights, but Tuesday's "Board Game Night" is more interesting. Bring your own game or borrow one from the bartender.

Downtown dosen't really have any options for a drink and scene, other than the major hotels. But this little hole-in-the wall place in Farilie/Poplar is the answer. Whether you are a GSU student, business man, or DT resident, this place grooves. Nice bartenders, good drinks, and just fun. Downtown is coming back!
Pros: It's Downtown! Hip, Groovy, and Just Fun!
Cons: Parking Can Be Tight!

I don't know what these other reviewers are talking about! The Mark is great! The staff is fun and courteous. I had a great time there about a month ago, Lauren and Mylyn took care of my friends and I! I will be back again.
Pros: cute bartenders, strong drinks
