Bar is awesome. But only having 1 bar tender trying to accommodate the amount of people in here is ridiculous. There's 2 bar backs and only 1 bar tender. So you'll be waiting a while for a drink.

Heath is an amazing bartender. The place was crazy busy on a Saturday and he was working solo and took care of business!!!!! Thank you Heath!

My wife and I stopped into Marlins Club as part of a bar crawl. When we arrived, there was a good crowd and the place looked lively—people seemed to be having a great time, which was a good sign. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to experience much beyond that. We stood at the bar waiting to be helped, but no bartender ever acknowledged us. After waiting for a while, we eventually got tired of standing there and decided to leave. Because of that, I can’t speak on the drinks or prices, but our experience with service was disappointing.

Nice little bar, has 1 pool table and 1 foosball table. Service was nice, the music wasn’t our vibe but other than that it was cool.

Just hung out for drinks but what a place the history is cool! If those walls could talk. The bartender was great and he had plenty of advice! Could not recommend a better place.
This is a classic bar in Avalon on Catalina Island.

Had fun in the beginning because of Savannah the bartender but ERIN the other bartender was horrible she was very drunk on the job being messy with customers. Didn't want to serve us water lol. She also threaten to fight me when i called her out for being very rude. Also locals said she's always like this don't know how the owner hasn't fired her embarrassing! She also lied telling people she was the owner lol locals said keith owns the place.

Not on the main drag, but definitely a don’t miss spot. Ardis was helpful and made fantastic drinks. Beers are definitely reasonably priced. Shocked it wasn’t packed to the gills in here. Come here when you stumble off a cruise or come to the island. You will NOT be disappointed.
Also, the bathroom was super clean.

The bartender (I think his name was Sam) was great to talk to and learn about Marlin Club history. We met some really cool locals sitting at the bar as well. Drinks were great, we will definitely be back.
