“Walked to Mars during the snowstorm this past weekend for a drink with my fiancé. I asked for an espresso martini and at first they said they don’t have espresso. But then the owner was able to find some and curate one of the most delicious espresso martinis I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried a lot in northeast Ohio). Will definitely be coming back!!”
“A great local place locally owned. I reviewed this restaurant before and went back. Two people in my party ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. It was cooked to order. The Gyro was huge. The appetizer was good as well.”
“I stopped by Mars Bar & Café, a great dive bar with a jukebox in the Lakewood area, which serves some of my favorite chicken wings in Cleveland. Mostly locals hang out here, but I still like this place. Cheap drinks and good atmosphere.”
