Marie's

Dive bar with affordable drinks, good service, and ping-pong. A local must support establishment. Sandberg Foodwares is the eats inside. She makes and amazing patty melt. And the fries are great with her original curried ketchup.

I love Marie's. It's the very best for what it is. Old Portland. Dirty in a good way without being sketchy. Amazing patio. Stuff drinks. Good prices.Heads up: the restaurant in Marie's is called Sandberg Foodwares. After many frustrated evenings trying to remember their name to find the menu online... I'm posting their menu here for your reading pleasure. Short but hearty menu with tasty and cheap and flavorful updated American classics. Working our way down the menu. All delicious so far!

Great food. Good prices. The woman cook is amazing. The food she makes is fresh and made to order. Love her food. Hard to find a place to make a true medium rare burger. Amazing. Good bar prices and ping pong.

This is one of those places that you can easily walk by and not notice. Its almost like a hidden dive bar, but not really. The inside decor is outdated, but was probably done like that intentionally. It gives you that vibe that you may be at a bar back in the old days. The inside is spacious and has a ping pong table and video lottery on one side. The drinks here are simple and inexpensive. Two things that make this bar stand out to me - 1) There is a large patio in the back that is definitely cool to hang out at and relax. 2) Dub's uses the kitchen here and operates his business out of there... cooking his delicious fried chicken and ribs. This place is almost like a hidden gem that I almost don't want to post and just keep to myself.

Do you ever have that dream where Frank Sinatra is wearing a polo shirt with a popped collar and he attacks you with a Lisa Frank pee chee? I have that dream almost every other night. It may actually be classified as a nightmare. Anyways. Marie's in St Johns is that nightmare come to life.Giant pink booths. Foosball. Spangers. Shake n' bake chicken. Cheap beer.This a place you take your grandmother to for mint juleps and then you yell at her for dressing like a hussy and she cries.

I too really like this place. Caveat being - I've never eaten here. Do they serve food? I guess they do. But drinks are cheap, I'm happy/sad to say the place is almost always empty or empty enough- because that's what we love about it. A couple friendly folks at the bar who reminded me that the life-size cardboard cutout of Snoop Dog should henceforce be referred to as Snoop Lion - a step in the right direction I would say!The back room has a pool table and a ping pong table. At 10:00 pm on a Friday night, the only people in the large pool room were my friend, her daughter and daughter's boyfriend playing ping pong - I joined them for a rousing match. Not another soul - at the pool table or among the many empty seats in the cushy booths. It would be super cool if they had live bands or cool events - it's a big room! But for now, I'll take it just as it is and one of these days. I'll try the food.

Dubs food is incredible. He really puts his love into his craft. Cool atmosphere, great staff, and incredible food

The inside is pink and fluffy, it has a very lady like and old school vibe. An interesting menu, with better than bar food, and a great 'backyard' space outside. On a side note, they take great care of their patrons and genuinely care.

They are one of my favorite bars in St Johns. Mikey makes the best hot toddy. It's mixed so well that there's NO honey stuck on the bottom. Yep, he knows what he's doing. Jess is one of the best folks in NoPo.

Really sketchy bartender on Friday nights, the place looks like it could be infested with bed bugs and reeks of cigarettes :( If I could give zero stars I would..
