seems they've dropped the food prices slightly. you can keep your bill reasonable. love this spot—one of the few newish additions to the hood that actually feels authentic.

The people that complain about pricing are precisely the people I'm trying to avoid when I go out once or twice a month. Atmosphere is wonderful, food was delicious, staff was attentive & friendly, A+

Get a Mar's Manhattan. Why? 30+ years of cocktail experience, that's why. This isn't a place for bros on spring break, so bring money and enjoy the atmosphere.

Beautiful spot with an exceptional vibe. This is the place if seafood is your thing. Great cocktails too! Good service. Very hidden which is what I love about it.

A great place for oysters and cocktails. Happy hour specials depending on the day of the week. Chill environment with attentive service.

Elegant, farm to table-y place. Nice happy hour pricing and decent wine. Excellent charcuterie and fromage plate, and Edith Piaf playing in the background. Mais oui!

From its tastefully exuberant interior to its classy presentation of oysters and cocktails, Mars doesn’t just imitate — it transports you back in time to an era of speakeasies. Read more

The bartenders know their way around a cocktail. Trust their advice. The fried oysters make a great opening act.

The best steak tartare for my money. Definitely a must. Great rotating cocktails as well. My wife and I's favorite place for an after work happy hour drink.

The Lemon Burger is one of my highest recommendations, but I think they only serve it during Brunch time. Quiet, silent place with friendly staff.

Good fresh oysters, wonderful fish and seafood and beautiful ambiance. Great service. Avoid disappointment tip: no lobster in the lobster soup which is a bit misleading.

Dan is a great bartender and makes the best Manhattans. This is my all-time favorite cocktail bar.

The octupus app is by far the best tasting octopus I have ever had! Love the oyster selection and the shrimp cocktail in a pint glass is A+

Staff is great and the food is amazing. Oysters and (especially) the octopus stole the show. Great cocktails and beers to boot!

The Rocky Point oysters served at Mar's are in my top 3 preferred anywhere in New York, definitely in Astoria.

Perfect for a special night out or low key oyster happy hour. Beautiful cocktails.

Looking forward to it being named one of the top Astoria cocktails bars! (Because it will be!). Stick to east coast oysters vs west.

Nothing like rosé and oysters on their patio. That beef tartare is pretty solid too.
Kathy TuznikMarch 10, 2015
Very casual and the staff is so friendly. The Sunday oyster happy hour is great.

The Leather & Lace, or the Negrosecco, are highly recommended as lighter cocktails to end your night.
Chris ConroyNovember 17, 2013
This place is FOR REAL. Orchard cocktail, lamb sausage, Cornish hen, short ribs: all spectacular.

Dollar oyster happy hour. When we went it was just the Blue Point oysters on sale for $1, but maybe it changes?

Paul is the man. Ask him for his signature margarita served up.
