I just had a nostalgia trip about the diviest dive bar, the beloved Mars Bar in NYC.
I would take visiting friends there (pre warned) and they would still be shocked - from the cockroach scuttling across Ashley's hand to the regular who got confused about what end of the room he was in and started pissing against the bar. But a great jukebox, great staff, cool vibes and interesting people.
I was lucky enough to travel back to NYC the last week it was open and have a farewell beer there. I also somehow became an administrator of the F***book fan page.
Mars Bar, we salute you!

Remembering the fabulously scuzzy Mars Bar in East Village, New York

@julianlawson it’s not the same vibe but if you need a dive bar in manhattan https://wakamba-bar.edan.io/ - not as scuzzy, but with an opinion on customers thats best described as “indifferent”
