I know I've outgrown the club scene some time ago, but a good club keeps everyone feeling good.
Like most establishments that serve alcohol in a touristy area, everyone is carded, and they have the neat ID scanners too. Â This is a good thing if you ask me, so have your ID.
It's your standard bar club atmosphere. Â Dim lights, loud music, few designated areas for dancing (one has neon lite palm tree which was neat).
The drinks are hand poured, so I'm sure if you treat your bartender well, they'll treat you well. Â I had a couple drinks and they varied in potency.
On the night we went, the place was more of a sausage fest, and the few girls that were there were either accompanied or very selective with who they danced with; so not really a fun place for a group of guys to go and hang out.
I should also mention that while we where there, a fight broke out. Â It was a one punch knock out, but the club security was real fast in reacting and took control of the situation extremely fast.
Never went in.
We (14 in a bach party) took the Marleys shuttle from our resort around midnight. The line was about 75 people and $10 cover (no VIP entrance etc...although several tried). We promptly went across the street to the Pizza Pub where we grabbed a table and enjoyed beers and cool people until  bar close. The line at Marleys was still about 30 deep at 1:00AM (all 20 something dudes).
I'm going to say we came out on top in this situation.
If you here during the day and early night, you can get some serioiusly good food...BUT...that being said--
Marley's is Cinderella on crack. After the stroke of twelve, it turns into a sleazy meatmarket full of skanky palm tree grinders(you heard me) and greasy guys with roaming hands. EW.
RUN, Â FAST.
Meat market.
This is one of those early college-age places that is more annoying now than it was when I was in college. We came to this place in the wee hours of the morning this past weekend because it was the only place still open. This was just awful. It had all the trappings of a classic bad dance club:
- sea of writhing people in various stages of dress/undress, from angry-looking lads wearing big poofy winter coats with fur-lined hoods (it had to be 92 in there) to people who REALLY shouldn't be wearing tube tops and/or daisy dukes
- HIGHLY unlikely everybody there was 21 or over
- majority of people have been served to beyond excess
- a LOT of cars in the parking lot...I know it's not a major metro area folks, but there ARE taxis! Don't drive!
- fights
- wet floors - wet with what, I didn't want to know
- deafening and GODAWFUL music
- flashing lights that could awaken the epileptic in all of us
- weak, weak drinks
- specials on only the finest mixes, i.e. trash can punch and vodka-Redbulls
- surly bartenders (to match the patrons)
As I was lead to the outdoor area through the sweat and skin and glares and giggles (me and my 28 years were practically ANCIENNE here) I repeated in my head, 'I'm not 22, I'm not 22, I'm not 22...' lol
I really hated this place. And it's just as well, because I'm not going back.
I went in here with some friends, mainly because one of them was going to meet up with a girl who was going to come here, which she didn't.
I don't pay to get into bars in Chicago, why would I want to pay to get into a bar in the Dell's. They play really bad music and crowd of people are tourists on vacation (not always very fun). My friends and I should o gotten some beer and went to the pool at the hotel. I recommend you do the same and avoid Marley's.
I was in Wisconsin Dells for the weekend + new year's for a little skiing trip, and the place where we went for our new year's party was beyond boring, so we decided to check out what's around, and we bumped into Marley's. It ended up being a whole lot fun! They play great music, hip/hop, reggae, 80s and the crowd is just awesome! Drinks are reasonably priced, and the service was nice! They don't accept credit cards in the entrance, so have your cash ready! $10 cover charge, and I don't know if it's really in effect, but according to the sign on the door, they do have some restrictions ie: long coats, sweatpants etc. They have a huge parking lot, so you don't have to spend hours looking for a place to park. I had a great time here, I recommend to anyone! Have fun!
