I want to like Mario's, I really do. I always have a good experience with the bartenders, and the handful of times I've ordered food here, it's been decent. But there's just a vibe I can't shake about the place, like the other patrons think I'm not cool enough to be there. They have a decent variety of drink and food specials, and other things throughout the week like karaoke and wing nights. But there are dress code signs on the door (like seriously, places that require a dress code that is posted on the door? they make me uneasy), and a feeling of general discomfort I get by not meeting some imaginary 'cool' quota each time I walk in. You know in high school, when you were one of the nerds, and the cool kids were like, 'what are you doing at our lunch table, dork?' That is how I feel when I walk into Mario's. Like I just dropped my protractor and everyone is laughing at me. Alas, my husband's bromance lives right down the street, and we always end up meeting him here for drinks, so I shall continue to withstand the uncomfortable feelings to enjoy a couple of rounds in the early afternoon. I'm grateful for the good bartenders who make this more bearable and don't mind if I accompany my vodka with a few games of bowling on my Ti-83.
