One thing Mary’s isn’t short on is personality. Both the décor and the clientele of this cozy bar in East Atlanta are lively, somewhat reminiscent of the disco era, and extremely eclectic. In addition, with its friendly atmosphere and laidback attitude, Mary’s has received rave reviews as both one of Atlanta’s best gay bars and best neighborhood bars.

Whether you’re grooving on the downstairs dance floor to the pumping house music, or socializing in the overlooking upstairs lounge, you’ll find that the crowd at Mary’s is a vivacious and amicable bunch, though mature and still hip. This is especially true on Tuesday and Saturday nights when karaokeers are lured in by the sounds of DJ CJ’s smooth renditions of the best of Diana Ross. You won’t be able to resist the urge to belt out one of your own, especially with such an encouraging crowd and DJ egging you on.

Another not to be missed is one of their creative and powerful Marytinis, including the "Virgin Mary" and "There's Something About Mary”, as well as their delicious Frozen Creamsicle. With their selection of superior drinks, excellent house music and spirited karaoke nights, Mary’s is known to draw in a sizable straight crowd as well. It’s the perfect destination for letting down your inhibitions and having a truly rousing good time.
