Mar's

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+

The service is outstanding, amazing and creative cocktails , and great food! Ambiance very relaxed and friendly

natural biodynamic wines only which is amazing. great oyster selection . lovely space. happy hour too.

Lovely neighborhood spot . Oysters and lemon burger : yum. The pancakes , too! Good cocktails and a great michelada .

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.

Best oysters in Astoria. A hidden gem for a civilized brunch . Get the chicken fried steak .

A great happy hour and an excellent staff . Always willing to give recommendations and chat.

Great cocktails and oyster happy hour . Beautiful unique interior

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.

Very casual and the staff is so friendly . The Sunday oyster happy hour is great.

Great place with an upmarket feel to it. Adds a level of finesse to Astoria's bouquet of great food..

Great for after dinner cocktails . Love the rustic old time atmosphere.

Oysters , lemon burger , octopus , calamari , clam chowder , kale salad , mussels , wine

The Leather & Lace, or the Negrosecco, are highly recommended as lighter cocktails to end your night.

This place is FOR REAL. Orchard cocktail , lamb sausage , Cornish hen , short ribs : all spectacular.

Nice new spot. Oysters cocktails nice draught selection and old timey charm.

Good wine and cocktails , solid oyster selection .

Great happy hour for beer , wine and oysters . Food is way overpriced for the area.

Amazing oysters , wine and cocktails . Don't like any of those? Get away from me.

Happy hour oysters and cocktails always sure to please.

Paul the bartender is AMAZING! Try his sidecar and bloody mary ! You won't be disappointed!

Amazing place! Great food and drinks! 10 out of 10

They have friendly service and good oysters !

Excellent moules frites . Definitely the best in the neighborhood .

Excellent oyster happy hour , try the moules frites too!

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

Cool vibe, yummy oysters and cocktails

Sit at the bar . Great entertainment! Paul was the best!

Great bar , and the neighborhood 's best shucked oysters .

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

The brunch poutine is an indulgent must-try

Very friendly . Casual . Oyster deals on Sundays.

Great outdoor space and cocktails

Awesome place to listen to some tunes and have a drink.

Order the Paella in advance -- totally worth it.
