I had so much fun here!! Went to watch the season finale of Ru paul drag race. The drinks tasted great. They had a few specials for the day and they were all great. The atmosphere on the inside is super cool and moody. The service was great as well everyone who worked there was very friendly. Overall I loved it and would highly recommend going if you want a fun neighborhood bar. Ella Rex had a live drag performance it was everything!

Honestly the most dive bar of dive bars in the best way, and absolutely somehow both chill and lively with your complete choice to pick which vibe to pursue there. Attentive bartenders, great drinks, nothing fancy, sadly no food but they're cool if you bring in your own. Karaoke, dancing if you want, smoking on the patio space, it's perfect in what it is. Parking is a nightmare, but that's EAV in general so plan accordingly Also, as the photos suggest, the decor is ON POINT

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.

I absolutely love Mary’s! It’s the perfect spot to let loose, enjoy great vibes, and feel completely welcomed. The atmosphere is always fun, and the events never disappoint. The staff makes the experience even better—especially Chris behind the bar! He’s an incredible bartender who always brings great energy and top-notch service. If you’re looking for a fun night out in East ATL, this is the place to be!

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

I can’t say enough good things about Mary’s—this is hands down one of the best dive bars I’ve been to in a long time. The energy, the inclusivity, the overall vibe—everything about it was perfect. It’s a cozy space, but even on a Wednesday Mary-oke night, I never felt overwhelmed by the crowd. Just the right amount of people, great energy, and a balcony out back if you need a breather (or a smoke). What really sets Mary’s apart is that it truly feels queer—not just a “gay” or “lesbian” bar, but a space where everyone in the community is welcomed and celebrated. That’s a rare and beautiful thing, and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, we did have a moment where a man was harassing my friend and me, but the bartenders and so many others at the bar had our backs immediately. They handled it so well and made us feel so incredibly safe—which is exactly what a queer space should be. And of course, the karaoke was amazing (apologies if my Talking Heads performance hurt anyone’s ears!). The drinks are also super reasonably priced, which is always a plus. We took an Uber, so I can’t speak much on parking, but there does seem to be some available out back if you’re driving. I hate that we don’t live in Atlanta because I’d take Mary’s with me everywhere if I could. If you’re in town, you HAVE to go—the vibes are immaculate. We’ll absolutely be back next time we visit! Oh, and they have Mrs. Pacman which is a bonus, and a really cute photo booth!

I had a great time at karaoke. The man upstairs was pretty awesome. Very funny and handle the small bar well

Best queer bar in ATL. One of the most diverse bars with the fastest moving bartenders around, more than fair prices, amazing bar owners, and some killer DJs. They have various party themes, weekly events, drag nights, and the most fantastic decorating that changes with the seasons... You can't go wrong, just don't be a dick.
