Coolest place on earth! $3 beers on Friday night, $3 Tacos, bands, beach, mostly importantly awesome ppl!!! Apparently they have 1 cent PBR's on Tuesday till someone goes to the bathroom :)))
This is one of my favorite bars in town. I've never been to another place on earth like this. Imagine if you will a hipster dive bar that's a beach party in the middle of downtown industrial Knoxville. That is only about half of what you're going to experience there. Enjoy!
Loved the atmosphere. It reminded of a beach dive bar with the decor, the sandy patio area, and the drum circle outside. The food was good, the drinks were fairly priced, and the service was decent. I loved that they had an old Nintendo with Mortal Combat behind the boat that centers the room. The only negative thing I have to say about it is it could be cleaned up a bit. There's still demo debris outside & random clutter all over the inside. I would definitely recommend this place to others though, and will be back.
The atmosphere is super eclectic and we loved it! Very open and accepting kind of crowd. Very friendly staff. My only issue was how spicey all of the food was. We ordered a few different items and I couldn't finish any of it.
We will be going again for poetry slam and other events, but we'll probably just stick to the cocktails.
Amazing bar and venue love the live music!
Bar Marley is my favorite bar in Knoxville; and it is a truly unique idea amongst all bars I have ever encountered anywhere in the US. The owner is great, and the food is wonderful when available. This place is not for the faint of heart. If you're the type of person to complain about a themed drink being served in a recycled "soup can" or a lack of air conditioning, then this bar is not for you. The health score here is solid -- the only things to fear are your own perceptions and expectations of what a "proper" establishment should be. Open up and accept something different. Welcome to the rest of the world.
