I wanted to love it - Edit
I wanted to love this place...I really did; all the cool vinyl and it being fully vegan. That said, the portion was underwhelming for the price (it was tasty, though!), they were clearly understaffed and neither the bartender nor wait person was pleasant. I pulled out some Marvin Gaye for the vibe and, even though no one else chose a record while we were there, they only played one side of the album.

Neat place - Edit
What an interesting place. I had never heard of a record bar before. I had the staff favorite cocktail and buffalo cauliflower. Would like to come back next time I'm in Seattle.

Such a fun place - Edit
What a fun place for dinner and drinks. There wasn’t live music when we were there so you could pick an LP and have them play it for you. We opted to share the Mars Platter which was their 4 flavours of cauliflower and vegan wings, followed by vegan tres leche cake. The cauliflower and vegan wings were good old satisfying vegan pub food. We have never had tres leche cake before so have no real reference for it. But it was a nice vanilla cake made soft and milky. Not overly sweet. We would definitely eat there again if we find ourselves in Seattle.

Not gonna win ball games - Edit
While service was good, drinks were tasty and it’s a cool space, it is waaayy overpriced. This is the kind of vegan food I can’t stand and is the reason why so many people make fun of or avoid vegan food. Almost twenty bucks for a little cheesesteak with a few ounces of impossible beef. If you took a non vegan here they would be like this is why I’m not vegan, it’s double price for half the sandwich.

Great vibes! - Edit
Really enjoyed dinner at this fully vegan bar. Got the sampler plate: chicken tenders were the best, cauliflower wings are good but heavy, brussel sprouts drenched in oil. The Mac and cheeze was delicious but the portion small for an entree.

Fabulous place for brunch - Edit
I keep going back to Life on Mars for Sunday brunch with friends. There's a great menu with lots of options including waffles and pancakes. The Chick 'N Waffles with cauliflower chick 'n and spicy aioli is fantastic. Also love Benny & The Jets and Florentine & The Machine. It hasn't been crowded when I've visited and has had a nice chill atmosphere. Asked to try the tiramisu dessert at breakfast and no problem. It's hard to find vegan tiramisu. Really enjoy it for brunch.

Great food - Edit
I ordered the Fiery Chick’n Sandwich with blue cheese sauce Brussels sprouts and the Cauliflower Wings. I highly recommend the sandwich and Brussels sprouts!! The wings were pretty good. The prices were a bit too expensive for the portion sizes. The ambiance is very nice inside. I went on a Tuesday evening and it wasn’t too busy.

The Sampler is the Way to Go! - Edit
You can’t go wrong with the spicy chicken sandwich or the Sampler. The drinks are very well crafted, and the vibe of the space is a lot of fun. My favorite vegan restaurant ever!

solid option in the midst of cap hill nightlife - Edit
Good food, casual vibe, great for groups. Personally I don't think the food hits the 5-star mark, but it's still tasty. Vegan egg options are pretty cool; I never had a vegan fried egg with runny yolk and all before.

I had a lovely meal here, ordered basic burger and fries, finished with tiramisu. Burger was delicious, sauce was incredible. The tiramisu was also delicious but I could only eat half as I was so full, gladly brought the rest away with me.

Pretty good - Edit
I got the waffles with “bacon” “egg” “sausage” and “cheese” and it was pretty good, pretty greasy though. Definitely not the place for a health vegan.

Cool vegan bar to visit in Seattle - Edit
This bar has some unique food and cocktail options and was in a cool spot in Seattle. We tried the chopped cheese and shrimp po'boy sandwiches as well as the corn tamale cakes. Everything was good and the bar itself had a very cool atmosphere.
