Mario's a great place with great happy hour deals, which in my opinion, is the best time to come. Although I've never been here for the late night scene.
For happy hour all of the appetizers are $5. And pretty great tasting. So far I've had the crap dip and the fried pita chips, which are so good. Truly not what I was expecting, in a good way. I also got their pub fries which are cheese fries with bacon and scallions, and they're not bad. At the $5, you definitely get a ton of food and can't beat the deal.
On Mondays wings are 39 cents and you can get as many as you'd like. The wings are perfect.
The service is also pretty good around this time because there aren't many people at the bar. One night we stayed here until 8:30 that was around Thursday which is trivia night...and you can hardly hear yourself. But thankfully the rooftop deck is an option for a less rowdy vibe.
All in all, Mario's really isn't a bad place at all. I just don't think I'd find myself as regular here because of too few vegetarian options. Veggie burger please!
