Mars Smoke Shop Beer & Wine

Mars Smoke Shop Beer & Wine brings a couple of things together under one roof in Glendale, Arizona. It's a smoke shop and beer stop combo, and locals who've found it appreciate the mix. As one regular put it, this is a "one of a kind smoke/beer shop combo," with friendly help at the counter and beer kept ice cold for whatever the night calls for.

On the smoke shop side, you'll find vapes and disposable vapes, cigarettes, rolling papers, and the accessories you'd expect. People who shop here point to the low prices more than anything, and butane is one thing folks say is cheaper here than anywhere else they've checked. The store gets called clean and easygoing, and Omar, the owner, has a reputation as a friendly guy who wants to help where he can.

One person summed up the vibe as a "chill, mellow shop." There's even some thrift clothing and art in the mix if you like to browse. Now, to be straight with you, locals are a little split on this one. The word around Glendale is that the posted hours don't always match reality, and a few people have had trouble catching the doors open when they expected to.

If you're planning a trip, it may be worth timing it later in the day, since the shop tends to keep late hours once it's up and running. For folks nearby who want a smoke shop and a cold beer run in one stop, Mars is an easygoing local spot with fair prices and a helpful owner behind the counter.
