Profile

Transport your little ones to the Red Planet at this intergalactic Times Square favorite. The food—salmon, ribs, and calamari for adults, plus typical kid fare (hamburgers and chicken fingers)—is served by waitresses who frequently converse with aliens. There are dancing Martians, an arcade, and a gift shop as well. — Logan Hill

Extra

Reservations accepted only for groups of 20 or more.

For Adults
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.

This place stunk! I had the worst time of my life. The service was ok, but the food was disgusting. Do not go there ever trust me you will regret it.

The downward spiral of a formerly renowned place

I heard the place was fun, and went there with friends. Though there seemed to be nobody at the entrance, we went in and took the ride. I wasn't expecting much, but the movie was way outdated : you even see the twin towers on a shot of NYC. Once inside, we discovered an an empty restaurant with outdated decor and unmotivated staff. Our waitress got it wrong in our beverage order and the cook forgot one of the burgers. Burgers were untasty and expensive. At first this overall failure made my friends and I laugh, but we were clearly depressed at the end of our meal. I was sad for the guy, on the other end of the room, that apparently tooke a date there (!). Did I mention that this futuristic place is the only in NYC which screens are not flat ? Did I mention the perpetually horrible music ? The sweat-smelling waiter ? Avoid this place : it should close soon.
