There’s been rumors floating around that tonight is the last night of the Mars Bar. I was there last week and was assured this wasn’t the truth, but just to be safe, I think that’s going to be tonight’s destination. To be honest, it’ll almost be a relief when the place is finally closed. The end is near and it’s kind of like watching a sick relative die. I’m a little tired of thinking about it and this may just be my last night in Mars Bar whether it stays open or not. Okay, I’m officially depressed now, let’s go to Mars Bar, I need a drink or twelve.

And here we are, I'm only going to take a couple pictures tonight, I've documented this place well and will share some of the photos at the bottom of this post. Tonight I just want to enjoy the Mars Bar one last night and have some drinks. So there's just going to be two more new photos here.

So make it one more for my baby...

And one more for the road.

Mars Bar Memories

Goodbye Mars Bar, thanks for the laughs and for all the nice people I've met in there. To Mars Bar and to all those who lost some brain cells inside the place. I salute you and I will miss you. Cheers, beers and love.

Well, that's how it goes,
And Joe, I know you're getting anxious to close,
So thanks for the cheer,
I hope you didn't mind,
My bending your ear,
So make it one for my baby,
And one more for the road.

Bonus Photo

Here's Danny, who I met last night and agreed to take my photo in the bathroom at Mars Bar. Most bars would frown on you for taking a picture with your pants down while seated on their toilet in front of all the patrons, but at Mars Bar no one even batted an eye as we did this. Only at Mars Bar...only in New York...only for now. Here comes the condominium and the wrecking ball. Look out, here comes tomorrow.
