50 Best Bars near Marion

“Very cute coffee shop. Tried their Pumpkin spice latte, made with homemade/organic pumpkin sauce. Delicious! Atmosphere is wonderful and friendly staff.“

“We stopped in for one and stayed all night! Felicia was an awesome bartender! Great atmosphere and a diverse crowd. Will definitely come back!“

“The shop looks like a cool lounge and Jessica was very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. I read Google reviews about this place and just had to see it for myself. I see why they have a 5 star rating! Don't make the same mistake I did though! I accidentally went to the "Hawk" vape shop across the street first and it was really really difficult to communicate with the clerk. Would recommend Hawkeye Vapor over Hawk vape shop. This store focuses on vapes, so don't bother if you're looking for a head shop. For my experience today, I'd give Jessica two thumbs way up for being so nice and professional.“

“This place is my jam. Feels like home.“

“Plenty too do pool, darts, slots, I enjoy the happy hour time .I play the slots or video gaming machines, not so busy. Also the food specials are a daily treat . I recommend the place any day of the week. If you want to get a lil wild go on a Saturday night.

Kid-friendliness: Not for kids leave little billy and little Susy at home.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair friendly for a limited area.“

“If you haven’t been to Homeport yet, you’re missing out! I stopped in on a Sunday and was blown away by their quesadilla—it was packed with seasoned chicken, black olives, green pepper, onion, jalapeño, and just the right amount of cheese. At $12, it’s a great deal, and even better, they offer $2 off every appetizer on Sundays!

The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, filled with people just enjoying their Sunday. The bartender was incredibly sweet and attentive—great service all around.

Highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Excellent food. Been there many times. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hidden treasure is the tuna sandwich, amazing!“

“They were very accommodating of my very picky daughter. She got some pancakes and they were not what she was expecting in her 6 year old little mind. They brought her some plain pancakes. The buffet they have is amazing prime rib and so many options and a very reasonable price. The waiter checked on us very often as well. Great food and great service!“

“We were going to a concert Sunday night and found Cliffs as we were walking down the street . We got our food quickly, the sandwiches were delicious as well as the broccoli cheese soup 😁 will definitely be back 😁“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thanks to The Kickstand and your amazing staff for hosting an unforgettable night for my husband’s 50th! The space, the team, and the vibes were absolutely perfect—we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. Appreciate you all! 🍻🎉“

“*Very* local-focused spot. The food was good but the wait was a bit long. The bartenders were nice, and the locals friendly enough although the open karaoke made it not the most strangers-friendly night.
Make sure to note, it's a cash only bar!“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff. They have great karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 9pm. Drinks are reasonably priced and is a feel good down home atmosphere! Wonderful place to relax plus watch the game too!“

“The BEST tenderloin I've ever had is served here. Good price on food items and drinks. Good service. Pool table is usually free to use, and they have fun events like painting classes or a dj sometimes. Small bar with a good vibe - definitely recommend!“

“Fantastic food and great service!Our waitress was kind, prompt, informative, funny, and personable. Everything you could ask for and more from the staff there.And the food was fantastic! We will most certainly be back.Plus they have a plethora of TV screens so if there's a game on, you can watch the game as well!“

“I really like this place. Of course it has a pinball but everything else was wonderful too. I like the horseshoe bar. Very clean and friendly customers. Stop by and see for yourself self, who knows what type of conversation you will fall into.“

“So fun! Pretty laid back during the week, then gets busy at the weekend. The owner Kurt, is a long-time bar owner (since '82 I believe), is a very personable guy who knows his industry! He can give tons of historical info on establishments in Cedar Rapids downtown area.“

“Sag wagon is close where I live.also is my second home.it is more convenient for when I'm not doing anything to do at home.thank you sagwagon keep up the good work.“

“Basix is amazing, Harry, Nikki, Eric, and Dakota are super sweet and always willing to help!! $5 cover on Friday and Saturday to pay for the show. A layed back atmosphere at the bar, with a hype atmosphere on the dance floor. Snacks and candy available for purchase, and a few arcade games. Super clean space, clean tables, floors, bathrooms are clean and smell clean! A nice outdoor patio, for just hanging out or smoking! The shows are always super fun, trivia, karaoke, and open stage on off nights!!“

“Stopped tonight, got a salad and tenderloin, both were amazing and as always Anna was the best. Great neighborhood spot!“

“Help is poor excuse for a Bar always on his phone Bartender more interested in talking to friends than waiting on customers.“

“Good service... The atmosphere or vibes in there feels a bit ghetto, but I personally dig a more low-key casually dressed place after work on a Friday night. And, obviously, if you like to play pool, this is your spot. They've got several pool tables. Fried bar food will run you roughly $9 regular price before tax. A double shot of Jose Blanco cigar me $6 I believe and a shot of Patron runs $10. I think my margarita cost about $5 or $6 as well. The two lady bartenders were easy to conversate with.. not over the top hyper or snooty. They handled that bar crowd Friday night with ease - just cool, calm, and collected ..no sweat! Pretty good bar tenders, those two knew their stuff & were attentive for the most part. So I personally like their service and staff members are clearly trained well. I prefer the dark sweat your tail off grinding with hot guys all night or a group of your gal pals sort of bar scene, but that's probably because I would choose dressed up over casual and I don't play pool. 🫶“

“Friendly staff. A awesome tenderloin basket.“

“Good just some of the bartenders seem only interested in helping guys other than that free water and good prices plus great music love coming here when u have a chance

Parking: Parking is a b**** but get there before 10 and almost all the spots are open“

“The campechano burrito (steak and chorizo is AMAZING! Ask them to add onion and cilantro! A game changer!!! Angel is a great server! Thank you! So delicious!!“

“Hannah bear rocks at rock bar! We love the drinks and atmosphere! ♥️♥️👏“

“$1.50 Old School beers and Bar Bingo on Mondays. Karaoke on Tuesdays. Free pool on Wednesdays. Tricia on Thursdays.“

“food is good, but today Saturday it took 40 minutes to get our food. they where not busy at all“

“Definitely Recommend.....“

“The employees here are always super nice and the food is awesome! Super cool that they’re featuring some old classics from the establishment before them “Cork n Fork”! I think people from the area probably really appreciate how special that is! I had the chili dog and fries with dill spread….. SO DANG GOOD! 😇“

“Awesome food great timeless appeal! Cedar Rapids oldest bar and a great place to eat. Jeff is a wonderful owner/host and Amy is a delight. The tenderloin is classic, smash burgers are amazing. Beverage selection is wide without the high prices! A must visit place in CR and kid friendly.“

“was there for lunch earlier today. ordered a salad and it was full of bugs. disgusting!“
