Mars Bar & Restaurant

This place is awesome!. Couldn't really ask for a nicer day in the city. When you have to be at work you might as well break up the day by meeting a few friends for lunch at Mars Bar. I ordered the Ahi - tuna salad but the tuna was out for the day. Instead I ordered the three tacos and loved em! The back patio is a great escape from the rest of the city! I will be back again and again.…

SoMa bar with cocktails, appetizers and a heated patio.. The big draw here is a large patio complete with bar and several tables, although billiards, an extra-long happy hour and a surprisingly tasty menu of Cali favorites--ahi tuna with wasabi aioli on brioche, pullled pork, and a chicken sandwich with warm brie and crisp apple slices on a baguette--reel them in too. Flatsreens hang above a bar that offers a handful of tap beers and specialty cocktails, like James' Giant Peach (fruit-flavored vodka, citrus essence, fresh lemon and lime) and an Oatmeal Cookie (Bailey's, butterscotch liqueur, Goldschlager) to a diverse crowd of neighborhood residents, cops, hard-partying young pretty things, and the occasional SoMa sketchball.

Low Marks
