Brick Alley Pub and Sports Bar - Bar in Marion - 1038 7th Ave, USA

Great service, bar games, and a true bar atmosphere! I actually love the fact that they don’t serve any type of food so they can focus solely on serving drinks. It also helps support the other small businesses in the downtown area since they encourage folks to bring in food from the area to enjoy with your drinks while also playing billiards, darts, or shuffleboard. That’s the reason I put food at 1 star since they don’t serve food. If you’re having a night out there then I recommend getting Tomaso’s pizza to bring in and enjoy with your drinks.

Great place in the old hometown. I will diffently stop back when town. The atmosphere both modern and the old home town pub.They don't serve food.

This bar is very roomy, there's ample seating in 3 different areas, plus tv's everywhere you look to keep you updated on your favorite team's score. The pool table is nestled away for privacy which is nice. Relaxing atmosphere with a good selection of drinks. Prices for one pint of a popular US brand beer are more expensive than a pitcher at other places though. Very friendly staff that usually is quite attentive, as well.

Was there for a birthday party and had a good time and staff was very good at checking on the group.

Came in new to town and automatically felt welcomed here. Great staff, great service and a lot of laughs. Thursdays are the best!

A nice bar. lots of TV screens with one huge screen great fit watching a sporting event. it has an old dusty pool table and a in the back a comfortable glassed enclosed room.

Got the mojito and old fashion and enjoyed both of them. The bar was decent and the servers were nice.

I will start with saying that I realize that there have been some lost liquor licenses lately in Marion. However, my experience was honestly...a bit back alley. I was there for a group celebration, and when I went to the bar for a beer I presented my driver's license. Granted I have an out of state license so I understand being asked to repeat my birth date or address but this was not the case. The bartender yelled that it was a fake, yelled is the word to use as it grabbed the attention of many other guests who were audibly shocked and approached me later. I stated that I can assure her that it isn't, I have the up to date travel star in the corner, and she replied that anyone could add the star that it isn't laminated (it is). She then threw in that I need to leave the bar since she believes I am a minor. Throughout the interaction, it was difficult to believe that there weren't different motivations for rejecting me, I moved out of Marion, IA after all due to many discriminate life experiences. I can't say with certainty that was the cause but it's worth a mention I suppose as her actions went above and beyond simply rejecting an ID or trying to confirm identity (many people around sought me out to suggest this and discussing the interaction with strangers was how I got to spend the rest of the evening). I unfortunately wouldn't recommend this place to others, especially if they do not have a scanner or a method to confirm documentation with less room for potential bias or mistakes.
