Profile

If you don't like crowds and you don't like theme bars, finding a drink near Times Square can be excruciating. But if you do like kitschy corporate-constructed environments with weird soundtracks and gimmicky drink names, Mars 2112, a kind of b-movie sci-fi set, is the best of the lot. Once you get over the sight of mute aliens in rubber-and-spandex costumes, the fake red-rock terrain of Mars 2112 can be silly fun. The bar's "Mars-tinis" and "Cosmos-politans" are some of the best drink specials in Midtown. Chat up misguided tourists, or just sit alone dreaming that you're Han Solo.
