That confusing new sign at the Mars Bar

A tipster submitted a shot of the newsish hand-painted sign at Mars Bar to Curbed last evening...Noticed it myself on the way to Extra Place and snapped a few photos...Wasn't sure what to make of it, either...



These days, I can't help but get a bad feeling...Still, I think it's open to interpretation...as in, after you've been to the Mars Bar, what else compares? Or something.

    Was there last saturday night. Took some friends there from out of town, and they loved it. Still love the one dim light bulb shining in the back.

    So personally, after the Mars Bar, definitely a shower and clean toilet. For sure.
