John Brown's On the Square

This is a typical dive bar, but boosts it up a bit with the addition of live music. Only being here once & receiving fine service I can't elaborate much more than that. I do wish they served food. I met a friend up there with an empty stomach. Only thing keeping my hunger at bay was booze and they had ONE slim Jim left. Other than that..the owner was there(very friendly), and staff seemed knowledgeable about the beer selection.

One of my all time favorite bars. Great staff and a lot of different beer options. Live music on Friday nights.

My absolute favorite bar in Marion.  They have great local music and great beers.  The place is decked out with awesome rock and roll posters, they even have a Nick Cave poster hanging up.  How awesome is that?  The owner is one of the friendliest guys you will ever meet.  Hes constantly hanging out and is all about customer service. I have a lot of friends who play in bands and this is one of their favorite places to play.  The beers are cheap and there is always a good mix of people.
