The Marlin

Ignore the latest review, this place has been permanently closed for a few months now. Bro went to the Ghost Marlin, very easy mistake to make.

It doesn't get more American than this. But maybe that's not always a good thing.

This is the best place in Fairbanks to meet new people, make friends, and find some of the greatest, most chill people that won't judge you or discriminate against you just for who you are. I credit this place for getting me out of my deeply introverted shell and allowing me to finally find a group of people that took me in and considered me someone that had worthwhile opinions, thoughts, and creative drives. Yea, and it's also a pretty good bar. The back room was always the greatest place to be. Best place to do the safe sex demonstrations and the counseling because of those comfy couches. Not sure how it's been remodeled, but I imagine it's been kept close to the original. Is the bottle of whisky still stuck in the wall? XD This is a place where you can just breath and not be afraid to find a stranger and talk about your problems and end the night with a good friend. :)

Great karaoke crowd! Loved the watermelon sour

Bartender was soooooooo rude.

Very small and limited seating. Slow bartenders. Didn't feel comfortable at all. Stairway banister being held together by tape. Pretty sketchy.
