This establishment is split into 3 different sections. On the left is the Mars Bar which usually has live music and a cover to match. On the right is Café Venus, which is a diner style restaurant with a relaxed feel. In the back is a bar. I don’t know if it actually has a name, but that is where we eventually ended up (since I couldn’t smoke in the diner until after 10 pm.)
Trevor had the following to say about this place. “With a fan lodged in the window providing a marginal source of ventilation, coupled with ratty booths, high barstools topped with women in low-rise jeans, this is a place you come to lounge sleazily and like it.”
The back bar is fairly small with a couple of 4 person tables and one large booth that we all squeezed into. The seat was not even though and it left a couple of us on the edge of a slope that was less than comfortable. Good music from the juke box poured into the small room as space saucer lights danced up above us.
Sean picked up this sponsorship despite not having a personal connection to the number. He did request it though.
I liked this place and would come back here for a casual drink or to wallow in my misery in a place where I wouldn’t be found. I give the Mars Bar 4 Martini Glasses out of 5.
