Mardi Gras Lounge

Smelled like old poop when we went in. When I asked the bartender about the smell she said a sewage pipe burst and it wil be fixed next week. Why the f*** is this place open with a sewage smell?

It’s a dive, but it’s a cool little place. Lots of regulars. We got the «you’re not from around here» look when we walked in, but everyone was plenty friendly once we settled in. Great drink prices!

This place is a trip ha the bartender here rocks. Hella blunt an real ya gotta love the staff an the trippy ass people that come in here along with the regular neighborhood patrons. The band rocks an they got some awesome karaōke.
I had some guy give me a twenty to by myself drinks. I Thought I was gonna have to dance with him or something but nope he just wanted me to have a good time myself an get a drink.
Damn poor guy got kicked out tho.
They’ve gotta cool patio here too.
The bartender makes some awesome drinks too.

karaōke on wednesday!!! yeah!

Lmfao this place used be kinda cool word kinda when they charged 4.50 a pint but what the heck 6.00 for pint of sierra the dutch goose doesnt even charge that i for one will not be back

First time I have ever been here, due to a friend’s band playing. Aside from the bartender being a bit out of it and not serving people in a timely manner (and occasionally not charging unless you reminded her), the place was fine for what it is. Don’t know that I would come here just to hang out, but I wouldn’t avoid it.

So we needed a place to go drink on a Friday evening, a dog friendly place. So I call.
Nicole: «Hi do you allow dogs?»
Bartender: «What?»
Nicole: «Dogs… do you allow them?
Bartender: «What? Do I have a dog? Why would you ask me if I have a dog… weird mumbling»
Nicole: «No, do you allow them in your establishment? Like on the patio?»
Bartender: «Oh um… I don’t know. do we allow dogs? HEY DO WE ALLOW DOGS? Whatever, sure, go ahead.
Nicole: «Sweet…this is gonna be awesome.»
So a whole bunch of us 20 – 30 somethings pile into the bar. And I’m not going to lie… the clientele is… aging. But that’s cool, they didn’t seem annoyed by our obnoxiousness or the dog. They start setting up for karaōke… we start getting drunk. And hungry! Plus we don’t do karaōke, of course not. But what we do DO is pizza. Can we get pizza here?
«Um… ma’am? Can we get pizza delivered??»
«Yes, but you can only order from Mountain Mikes. We only eat Mountain Mikes here.»
I’m sure as hell not going to argue with this logic when that logic gets me food. I think we might have made the old folks a little jealous with all of our pizza, because drunk people tend to not share so good unless asked.
Then at 9pm something mysterious happened. I think every person over the age of 50 showed up to ROCK OUR SOCKS OFF! Seriously baby boomers of Redwood City, ya’ll know how to party. And kick ass… especially you blond lady who looks like my mom!
Anyway, it was a super weird night. A super AMAZING weird night. And I can safely say I’d party there any day of the week.

Only been in this place once around quitting time, and found it to be a charming, convivial place with its share of scruffy, amiable regulars.
The bartender was a friendly, fun young buck. The drinks were honest and not overpriced. The bar itself is clean and well maintained. You can tell that it is well managed, if still retaining that scruffy, working-​class cozy atmosphere that makes up a good dive bar.
As with all dive bars, all bets are off when it comes to what happens late in the night around last-​call. But I’d check this place out again for sure if in the area and/​or waiting out rush hour traffic.

I moved into town 2 months ago and was looking for a family type dive bar. I found one this is a great place to go and relax or converse or play pool or watch a game or just ge one of the folks.
The bartenders are all wonderful :
Sylvia with her witty quirps and sweet dog Hennessy
Tara is as friendly silly and loud always makes me feel welcome
Kathy is sweet and demour but very considerate of her customers
Billy …is Billy he makes a good drink and good conversation
Things I would like to see:
How bout some bar snacks… The free kind?
How about a happy hour of some sort?
You have a kitchen how bout serving sandwiches.
I appreciate the menu folder filled with info about the local eateries.
I really like these folks… I’ll be back

Came out to the Mardi Gras Lounge for New Year’s Eve end of decade, especially because of Dave Crimmen Rockabilly band playing the NYE bash. It was a good time, everyone treated us well, they had a bunch of free food, band was great, bartenders friendly. Just a nice local place, check it out!

It’s a dive bar. We came in with a fairly large group of people and the minute we walked in the locals immediately gave us the evil eye! That was awesome. Bartender was friendly and made a stiff drink. The locals in the bar warmed up to us and they were great fun. They had a cover band that night playing all your favorite 70’s classic rock hits. They weren’t the greatest band but when the alcohol is flowing does it really matter?

I gather that I did not get the typical experience at this divey pool bar last night, as it was packed to the gills with a 20−30something rowdy crowd. However, the owner & bartenders rose to a mighty challenge last night and succeeded with flying pool cues.
It was:
a good friend’s birthday party
They allowed that friend’s various band friends to play a raucous show:
there was:
rap
punk rock
Bad Touch
metal
fantastic scratching DJ
boobs
2 girls & 1 cup
zombies
a transvestite with a wedgie
crazy dancing guy who nobody knew, but everyone loved
and it was good.
I dig the old school cigarette machine and jukebox. Bathrooms are fairly clean (though only 1 stall). Bartenders handled the crowds well and remained cheerful and quite friendly throughout. If I lived around here, this would definitely be my hangout spot.

I came here on a Saturday night and the place was pretty empty. A couple of middle aged guys and that was about it.
Yes, this is a great little dive. Since it is. .. a dive. .. everythings a bit mediocre. The juke box, the weird lighting, the sticky floors, the janky bathrooms…
However, the bartender was a riot! She was so drunk that she was slurring her words. I think that I had more fun doing shots with the 50 something yr old-​muffin top-​bartender than I would have ever expected. She made us a shot that she threw together because, «it tastes like juicy fruit gum». It was the color of muddy water, but sure enough it DID taste like juicy fruit gum. I have no clue what was in it.
I would tell you about prices, but the bartender wouldn’t (or was too drunk) to charge us. So we just left her a fat tip.
I think I will go back to this little bar the next time I’m in NorCal just to see if she’s there.

yes this place is a cut above a true dive bar, although the bartender seemed a bit unsure about her skills. The best part was the fairly decent band playing — the worst was the drunk next to me who kept asking why nobody in my group, including me, wanted to dance — with him. too bad that i don’t live a little closer or I would go for the karaōke.

mardi gras appears to be dive, but is actually really cozy inside. The bartenders are great, karaōke is fun here and they have a great little back patio where you can smoke and still enjoy your cocktail.
Oh yeah, and I walked out of here with a CD of my performance.
gotta love that!

As dive bars go, this one’s a charmer. It’s karaōke night 4 nights a week (and sometimes during the day!). I’ve been 3 or 4 times and, the last time I went in, the karaōke lady hugged me like an old friend. They give out blue ribbons to rookie singers and they even record your performance! The bartenders and the regulars are always friendly. It’s not the classiest place I’ve ever been, but I always have a good time at Mardi Gras.

Wow. All these years of passing by this place. Finally i made it here and it was fun. It was karoke nite and these drunk girls were singing an alcohol fueld version of Patsy Klines Crazy and it was funny. i was done before i even came in here but finished up nicely in a bush out in back.

i ended up here one evening. I successfully harassed the bartender, sang karoke to Patsy Kline’s «Crazy» and then the bar put me and my friends in a cab–
can’t say much about the locals cos’ i can’t remember them, but the inside of the bar was cozier than i’d anticipated from all the millions of times i’d driven by this dive on el camino.
