And the place will look disgusting within a couple of months. It really doesn't take that long to dirty up a bar. Look at Double Down. They only opened in what, 2006? I remember within 6 months not only did it not have that "new" smell, that it was absolutely scummy and disgusting. I liked Mars because it was disgusting yet still poetic.

I'm sure the landlord won't want them to trash the place so everything probably would have this "tribute" effect ala Blue and Cream as the earlier commenter mentioned.<br />I'd love it if they came in and trashed the place like rock stars and that stickers and grafitti will slowly cover every surface.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-31078563863241789432013-01-03T15:41:56.713-05:002013-01-03T15:41:56.713-05:00If another bar does open in that space, I wouldn&#...If another bar does open in that space, I wouldn't get my hopes up for an actual successor to the Mars Bar. Chances are it'll have the look of the Mars Bar, maybe even some of the original decor, but it'll probably serve fancy cocktails and craft beers to yuppies at increased prices. Think along the lines of the Blue & Cream "tribute" from last year and that's probably what'll happen here.abrodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-18719588506411752112013-01-03T14:19:35.120-05:002013-01-03T14:19:35.120-05:00I'm in if Hank brings back the exact same shit...I'm in if Hank brings back the exact same shitters.ACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72004161826973185222013-01-03T14:16:35.799-05:002013-01-03T14:16:35.799-05:00i really hope this happens. i will go 4x a week.i really hope this happens. i will go 4x a week.glammanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70776084627006039272013-01-03T14:14:06.862-05:002013-01-03T14:14:06.862-05:00The bar & the juke?
