Brass Monkeys — Restaurant in Marathon

Really enjoyable dive bar this Funky Monkey (Beastie Boys reference lol) !! Really cool locals and tourists hangin out. I had heard about it from the front desk person at the hotel where I was staying, so I called and it was weird that they didn't answer their phone. I'd suggest to management here to fix that link from Google to call here because they are likely losing potential business from people who call for information, confirm hours, etc. and may be taken aback by the no answer/weird recording you get. Glad I came to check it out despite this. It's the only place open late around here. Enjoyed the live entertainment past "Marathon Midnight" (which is 9PM lol) by Fred on solo guitar who's been playing here for over 40 years!! Wow! Only food served late is from Durty Dawgs food truck outside of the bar. I'm not sure of earlier menu options if any. It's probably decent, but didn't order anything since I had just eaten dinner. If you enjoy loveable dive bars, this is a really nice one with good vibes. Much nicer on the inside than the outside would lead you to believe. Check it out past Marathon...

Happy birthday to the owner.. unfortunately the only good thing we heard for the 20 mins we were there.. sign outside clearly stated kitchen open and although the place was pretty much empty upon arrival instead of hearing the bartender say “welcome folks! Kitchen id closed but the bar isn’t “ would have saved me dealing with the super boring bartender as he meticulously checked our ids and proceeded to explain the kitchen person is the closer but also the opener, and since they close 4am the guy obviously only slept like 3 hrs so since is hos bday (YES!!!! “Kitchen guy” “opener” “closer” all are the same person ) the owner who obviously was way too tired so closed the kitchen before 3pm.. the worst is how ridiculously unbothered and unfriendly this bartender is regardless of how much u cater to us boring locals u should remember ur doors are open for business TO ALL… def not eve trynna go back.. try Overseas 2 mins away, OUTSTANDING SERVICE by Andy and...

This place has gone down hill with the new owner. I believe there is a group of out of town owners and only one makes a guest appearance now and again. He must be loaded because he doesn't have to work and is always going on vacation, going out to eat, getting the nose candy and throwing birthday parties for strippers at the bar. I think he's kind of cheap because I hear he charges one of his bartenders to live at his place at a high rent rate and he makes his employees work without AC!!! There is also no hot water to wash your hands. Seems like there is always some janky set-up going on there or some scam they are selling in the liquor store. I also hear they can't pay their bills, but I don't see how this is possible with all the money the...
