Not Black friendly. Highly recommend finding another bar if you are black. Came with two friends who were not in my ethnicity, and they were let through and was immediately stopped and question beyond repair just because I was coming in. If you are black and looking for a good time, I highly do not recommend you go to this place let this be for them. Super embarrassing do not recommend

Came here for karaoke and it was awesome, friendly locals came and said hi, asked where we were from and were engaging. Nothing like pretentious bars that I'm used to in South Florida....Would definitely come back 100 percent next time we are in the area.

I always have a great time when I go but I notice they never have anyone watching the back door. Thus, I always see people without the wrist bands on come inside from the back and I just paid my $5 at the front lolAlso, I went last night and I was verbally assaulted by a homeless man outside in the unguarded back and he touched me and no one that is a part of the staff came to me and apologized to me or anything. They just kept passing me by…I know they saw me get verbally assaulted because they addressed the situation. I would suggest them having someone at the back door as well. We’re in Atlanta and it’s needed

The bartender was very nice and the drinks came out fast and tasted very good. But then there was the show that should’ve come with a trigger warning because one of the performers mid song became covered in BLOOD and was shaking her head like she’s possessed or having a seizure. The blood really ruined our evening, it was everywhere. It looked like she cut her own throat or her veins and was in pain. It was very upsetting and disturbing to say the least. Horrible scene. We came to have fun but got traumatized instead.

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.
Everyone who works there is welcoming and sweet. Great atmosphere and music! Perfect for dancing or just chilling at the bar.

hands down my favorite gay bar in Atlanta. welcoming, and not pretentious. the staff are sweethearts, and I'm always going to find someone I know there and meet someone I don't ?

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 ??

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 :)
