Tired of the boring bar rooms? Sick of sloppy saloons? Weary of watering holes? Perhaps it's time to switch to a drinkery. I did and I'm not looking back.

This has become one of my favorite spots! I love the quaint atmosphere and vast drink menu. Craft beers, bourbons or cocktails, their high quality variety will definitely please.

Had our reunion get together on Friday night and it was a blast. Comfortable atmosphere, yummy cocktails, Greek food truck was amazing (feta fries ?) Owners were so nice AND live music. I highly recommend if you are traveling through Marion, Ohio or have a get together.

Incredible craft cocktails, made by friendly and accommodating bartenders who really know their stuff. Drink menu includes their own recipes, but they also have pretty much any concoction you could ever think of, as well as an very extensive craft beer lineup. There are food trucks outside on a regular basis, as the Shovel doesn’t serve actual food - just cheese plates, small charcuterie, etc. Atmosphere is authentically old-school, line at the bar for drinks is always long, recommend trying to get a seat at the bar for quicker service. There are plenty of tables inside and also a lounge-ish area with a couch and armchairs, very cozy for a group of 6-8 people. Large, clean restrooms, shaded outdoor seating. Lots of parking out back. This place is a huge asset to downtown Marion!

The best place around to sample bourbon! Over 100 to choose from! The bartenders are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable! Plus the outside seating and cornhole is a great bonus.
Awesome space and friendly people working there. Great recommendations on local area beers. Really enjoyed our visit.

Just visited this neat little bar for a class reunion and not only is the atmosphere incredible compared to others in the area, the bar tender here is absolutely amazing! I watched him make not only my drink, but a few drinks ordered by other patrons. These aren't just drinks, they are pure art! They have over 100 types of bourbon alone and a great selection of cigars too! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. I highly recommend visiting this place and it is perfect for reunions, bachelor parties, etc. Parking is a little strange to get to (park in fenced in area behind the building and across a small alley).

Two words: exposed brick! Actually more than two words, live music and great drinks. If they dont have it on tap, its probably in a bottle or can in the cooler. Staff was courteous and quick with their service. Had the luck of catching Chad Clark play a live set of country music. SCD is must visit bar and a can't miss for live music

Great venue for Band or just a casual drink at bar. Food Truck options have been great! Great casual, classy!
