Mary's Bar has Great Music, including Pistol Pete, Bun E. Carlos, Open mic nt on Tuesdays, etc! Tons of Talent comes thru there. They have pool, darts & slot machines...however. The biggest draw is the staff & customers. It's a place where U can b comfortable, laugh & B Yourself. It's a very diverse group of Ppl who are there because they WANNA b THERE. The regulars are very Friendly & supportive. I strongly suggest hangin out there 2-3 tmes!

Mary's Place holds a special place in the heart of our community, and for good reason—it's a local staple that seamlessly combines cozy charm with electrifying musical experiences. What truly sets Mary's Place apart, however, is its dedication to supporting local musicians. It serves as a launching pad for up-and-coming artists while also hosting beloved acts that have become synonymous with the venue. There's something incredibly special about witnessing a musician's journey from humble beginnings to sold-out shows, and Mary's Place makes that possible. In addition to its musical prowess, Mary's Place exudes warmth and hospitality. The staff is always welcoming, the drinks are cold, and the sense of community is palpable. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're treated like family from the moment you walk through the door. If you're in search of an authentic musical experience and a taste of local culture, look no further than Mary's Place. It's more than just a venue—it's a home for artists and music lovers alike.

Went there to see my favorite band / say goodbye to my coworkers who are more local to that area. Kind of small place but comfy. Awesome service from the bartender.
