Mary’s

Mary's is a jack of all trades on the LES. During the week you can grab a cocktail with a friend—try the Mary’s Martini, on a Sunday afternoon you can watch the game and eat bratwurst at the bar, and on a Friday night you can head to the room in the back, where there’s a large disco ball, and a DJ who knows it's been far too long since you've danced to Nicki Minaj's “Starships”. Up front, there are mismatched string lights and beer shot combos, so this place feels dive-y and dance-y at the same time. Mary's is from the same people behind The Commissioner, and like its predecessor it's a great spot for birthdays—the last time we were here there were two happening at the same time.
