Vegan bar with vinyl records, comfort food, and creative cocktails
"Vegans and vegetarians deserve drunk food too, and this record shop/bar/restaurant mashup from the folks behind Neumos and the Runaway delivers, with Chik’n tacos, cauliflower wings, and nachos topped with plant-based queso served until last call. There’s also a standout mocktail list, making this perhaps one of the most responsible final destinations on the Hill. Land on Mars until 2 a.m. on weekends." - Harry Cheadle
"Vegans and vegetarians may initially find Life on Mars a somewhat overwhelming dining experience due to the sheer novelty of being able to order everything on the food menu at a bar. This vibey homage to vinyl understands that plant-based food need be neither virtuous nor restrained, and comfort food favorites like chick’n tenders and cauliflower wings, paired with one of the playful cocktails, are the perfect start or end to a night out." - Sophie Grossman, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Eater Staff
"Kraig Rovensky is a partner at Capitol Hill bar Life on Mars, which has been growing its NA menu for years." - Harry Cheadle
"Part record shop, part bar and vegan restaurant, Life on Mars has long been a proponent of mindful drinking. In 2022 it celebrated Dry January — at the time, not an event many bars leaned into — with a selection of mocktails. Its menu lists out the ABV of all its cocktails for drinkers who want to be careful about overimbibing, and it makes sure to note that even NA drinks contain trace amounts of alcohol." - Harry Cheadle
"If you’ve ever thought “I wonder what a bar would look like filled with thousands and thousands of records,” see for yourself at Life On Mars. It’s a Capitol Hill corner spot with a wall full of vinyl, plant-based bar food, and cocktails that range from a pineapple rum tiki drink topped with chickpea foam to a vermouth spritz with raspberry syrup and cacao nibs. If you’re trying to impress someone from out of town but you can’t get into Canon or Foreign National, this is a solid backup plan." - Aimee Rizzo
