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 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.
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!
This place is excellent! I've been there recently for a few karaoke nights and absolutely enjoyed myself. Above all else I felt safe and welcome. Consistently one of my favorite lgbtq bars in Atlanta.
This is my favorite queer bar in the whole city! The bartenders are basically my friends now, the drag shows are amazing and karaoke is a tradition amongst my friends. This is the welcoming, happy queer bar that all us rainbow bbs dream of ❤️
Easily my favorite gay bar. The crowd is diverse and friendly. The drinks are strong. The drag queens and bartenders are fun and beloved. It's a place where all are welcome to come as they are.
I love this bar! Super amazing friendly place for everyone! As a Trans Woman I always feel comfortable and safe walking in the door. Also drag every Thursday and every show is AMAZINGGG! The entire staff is so welcoming and friendly. Definitely have an amazing time everytime I go. ❤️❤️
I have been coming to Mary's for almost 10 years now and I've developed some really great friendships here along the way. You really can forget about life and have the best fun you've ever had here. The staff and the people are what give Mary's its integrity and inclusiveness.
Not only is this a wonderful safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community but it's also one of the most supportive places I have ever hung out. They have a full bar, sure, but they also have a wonderful Mocktail menu for those of us who aren't drinking. Lindsey, has created some beautiful flavors which is great for if you're staying sober to DD or just don't want to drink. Maryoake on Wednesdays is a blast and there are always fun drag shows and other events on the weekends. I have seen so many amazing drag performers get their start at GLITZ and it's so wonderful to see them grow into headliners!
I love my neighborhood bar. I’ve been coming to Mary’s for about 4 years now. Great atmosphere, great bartenders, good times. Best gay dive bar ever.
