Description

Cafe Venus/Mars Bar, snugly situated on the southern, more out-of-the-way section of Eastlake, is a comfy spot, charmingly rough around the edges. While the Mars side channels traces of its punk-inspired predecessor (the Storeroom Tavern) with red lights and live rock shows, the Venus cafe portion is more Joy of Cooking than Joy Division, with an espresso machine, brighter lighting, and a cheery atmosphere.
