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

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 Something About Mary, works well with the kitschy decor. The life-size, let-it-all-hang-out beefcake posters are a real eye-opener. Now that saucy sibling My Sister's Room moved in down the block, this EAV thoroughfare is hopping at all hours of the night.

The review that urges you to 'be careful' and in my opinion smacks of homophobia is ridiculous.
It is a bar that attracts lots of different types of people and is basically a fun place to go to drink. Not sure why someone would say it was a restaurant unless they'd never really gone inside.
If more establishments in Atlanta were as nice as MARY'S then Atlanta would not still feel so small and backwards.

This establishment does serve food and drink but to an alternative life style crowd. This is not a family place and there is no indication that this is this type of place other than the rainbow colored letters that spell MARY. Be careful.
Felt like a sardine.

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

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

Oh, go, you'll love it

It's hard to have a bad time at Mary's. The crowd is always interesting and diverse, the bartenders skilled and friendly, the VJs competent and with a sense of humor, and the decor changes more often than Monica Kauffman's hairstyle. You won't be bored.
Mary's is a great place to meet up with your friends as your regular joint, but it's also the sort of place you can feel comfortable going to on your own to watch videos and meet new people.
- Pros: Neighborhood feel, Newest videos, Private bathrooms
- Cons: South of I-20, Closed Sunday
Great neighborhood bar

Very freindly bar where the owner and bartenders take the time to know who you are; always have my beer poured waiting for me as I walk up to the bar!
- Pros: Inexpensive, Great service, Friendly
