My husband and I spent a night in shelter cove and went to Mario’s for dinner and a beer. The owner is so personable and has monthly rotating chefs. We had Chef Mama Mo’s rockfish sandwich, blackened rockfish tacos with fried flour tortillas, and loaded fries. The decor is really, really thoughtful and well done. Would recommend this gem to anyone!

Outstanding bar. Great comfy vibe. Delicious cocktails. Unparalleled ocean views. Occasional sea lion chorus. The friendliest, coolest, nicest staff.
No, I don’t have any vested interest in this establishment and I don’t know anyone who works here. My wife and I stayed in Shelter Cove a couple of nights and we went here for several hours this evening and had the BEST time! Five stars. Highly recommended.

I remember my first time going to Mario’s because I’d never seen a nicer view anywhere. The interior decoration is adorable, and the mixed drinks are exquisite. Lots of space. A romantic getaway but also a great meet up spot for friends. Many food options.

Definitely the best bar i’ve ever been to in Humboldt and possibly the best bar i’ve ever been too. I come out to the cove semi regularly and this is the place I’ll always go to. They have a wide variety of beverages alcoholic and non. They put little flowers in the drinks. The food has routinely amazed me. Last time I was there I got an amazing Chicken sandwich. Ive also had Lumpia there, sushi, picked vegetables. Honestly it’s a great bar.

The best! Great food, atmosphere, views for days and the nicest people working there making you feel right at home. Highly recommended. Go have fun in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. So many positive changes to this place in the past few years! Excellent accomplishment by Amy and her team! Must stop at the cove

The fish and chips were good but not great. The beer batter was too soggy with oil but the fish itself was delicious and cooked well.
The fries were also very good but I had to get up twice to get ketchup since their bottles were almost all empty.
I did non try the drinks so I cannot review them but it seems like a great place for drinks! A lot of people told me they enjoy them.
The ambience is great with a mix of options for the kind of setting you want to have your meal in.. however the food is paramount so I can’t give a full 5 stars not try the drinks so I cannot review them but it seems

Mario’s in Shelter Cove is exactly what every small town needs—a no-frills, good-vibes bar where the locals are welcoming and the energy is real. It’s not trying to be fancy, and that’s what makes it perfect. Cold drinks, solid food, and karaoke nights that turn into something unforgettable. There’s a beautiful simplicity in a place where you can laugh, sing badly, and feel like you belong. Mario’s gets it right. Five stars for the heart and soul.

Pretty cool “bar at then end of the world”. Literally their patio is on the edge of our country’s “Lost Coast”. Good cocktails and great friendly service (thanks Amy) to a visitor like me. Locals and tourists. Live music on some nights, outdoor games on the patio, a few indoor board and card games. I’m sure it’s really nice with warm clear weather.

This is a must stop on my list when I visit family. Great food, drinks, and the owners are wonderful. Go out back and see the views and play a round of corn hole. Check out Shelter Cove Facebook page so you can see all things happening in this area. Mario’s has locals who bring food, music, and fun to the bar.

They offered a wonderful, fairly priced brunch this Memorial Day morning. We had Shrimp and Grits, and the Country Breakfast with coffee. Service and view were WOW!
