This is the best queer bar I’ve ever been too. Period. With 3 distinct areas (main bar, upstairs, and back patio) there are plenty of cool places to chill with friends. The drinks are well priced, the staff is excellent, and the staff is more than willing to throw on some gay videos to help make this an amazing queer dive bar.
If you want a more low key queer bar than MSR or Blake’s this is the bar to go to!
I recently moved out of town for work and I’m already missing this bar 💙💙
Went here last night for the first time and the staff is super friendly and amazing especially lewis! They went above beyond helping my friend when she was throwing up definitely recommend
Mary’s is EVERYTHING !! Karaoke on Wednesday nights, Saturday with my favorites Chris and Lewis—as well as the collection of EAV’s loyal patrons gives the best vibes every single time. This dive bar is one of a kind and is ran with respect and appreciation. Thank you for providing a continuous space that is safe & fun for all :)
Mary's is, without a doubt, in my personal opinion, THE Atlanta queer bar. As a local transfemme, Mary's is the one place I know I can go out to, enjoy myself, and not receive any judgement.
The staff are nothing short of amazing, almost all of the bartenders know my name, know that I'm sober, and go out of their way to provide me with fun, non-alcoholic options or just a Sprite. And I'm not even that much of a regular!
The variety in their regular weekday schedule of events like drag shows, karaoke, and more is nothing short of amazing, and gives everyone in the community something to do or see.
Ultimately, Mary's is home away from home for myself and my friends, and I'd not have it any other way.
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.
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.
Mary’s is truly one of the best bars in the city. From packed out karaoke nights to drag shows featuring entertainers from all over Atlanta (and beyond!) to just a fun night out dancing, I can’t think of a better place to be. The staff is SO friendly and caring - Lindsey once walked me back to my car so I wouldn’t be going alone after dark! I love Mary’s so much that my only plan for my birthday was to go there.
My go-to neighborhood queer bar! I'm originally from San Francisco area and this place made me feel at home oh so many years ago. It's like the island of misfit toys, and I love it and them! The staff is fantastic! I go a lot for karaoke or really any old time. It's definitely an everybody bar! I've always felt safe and even had some help when an out of town creeper wouldn't take the hint. Whether it's to hang out, sing, dance, or see a fabulous drag show... Mary's is definitely the best queer bar in Atlanta!
Mary's is such a warm, inclusive environment! I've shown up dressed to the nines for drag shows and shown up in yoga pants and a t-shirt on a Thursday night and I've always felt so welcome. The patrons are friendly (and gorgeous) and the bartenders (especially Lindsey) are TOP NOTCH. This is a lovely little haven for our fabulous LGBTQIA family. Definitely go check them out!
I come here for karaoke on Wednesday nights. I've been to a few places around the city and so far this is my favorite for singing. Public speaking is the number one fear in America so public singing has got to be right up there. Mary's does a great job of making the atmosphere comfortable to sing in. There's never any heckling and even the bartenders sing! It's a gay bar, but totally welcoming to respectful str8s. There's a vending machine full of romance novels and crop tops. Also a $5 photo booth that's super cute. Come on out gaybies!! If you need a little liquid courage try one of the drinks. They're extra strong so pace yourselves 💕💕💕
