About this business
Marx Cafe is a neighborhood cafe that serves authentic Greek and Italian snacks and short eats. This casual and friendly place is ideal for taking a quick bite or two. However, the highlight of Marx being the DJ and live music nights held here. While in town, do head here for some great meal and equally good music.

It made me a good time... I used to live around Mt Pleasant in 2002/2003 during my stay as an Au Pair. I had such a wonderful time at Marx. But Im wondering what happened to Sal, the bartender. I think his real name was Eric...Does someone knows him? I was wondering for the last years. Please, I would be very happy someone could help. If you know something please write me... mareninusa@hotmail.com take care Maren
icky restaurant but nice bar Marx Cafe suffers from cool-idea-lackluster-execution syndrome. In progressive Mt Pleasant, a cafe named after Karl Marx with progressive political signs in the windows and a dark European atmosphere within should be fabulous. But I've eaten at Marx three times and it's just not a very good restaurant. Apparently socialism encourages surly waitstaff and food that tastes like it just came out of the freezer.

Bravo, Marx I have never had boring food at Marx Cafe. I've never had bad food at Marx Cafe. In fact, I consider it the best food for the money in DC, and when I have occasion to visit Washington, I always head for Marx for one of their dinner specials, which are like the very best home-cooked meals ever. The lamb shanks alone rate the five stars I've given it. I'm also always impressed with the clientele, and love weekends, when the best behaved children in DC are there with their parents.
The Best The Marx Cafe is one of the best kept secrets in DC. I loved going there at any time of day for any reason. Lunch, dinner, drink, it was all good. The Marx even got me laid once. I went there for lunch with my girlfriend on valentine's day and the waiter that would wait on me whenever I went there gave us free champaign. Bottom line is they have the best food, the best drinks and the best staff.

We worked intensively for six months with our pest control company t... read more
