If you want your real ID punched this is the place for you!! The security guy Rob was awesome!! He couldn’t tell my friends ID was real! A truly remarkable experience… really elevated the new years vibe. Great way to start 2026 with a trip to the dmv…(mind you my friend was the dd and this was the first bar we went to that night..)

More reviews on GoogleFun atmosphere! We played Pool and listened to good music! And free popcorn!! 3 poop tables and multiple tables with a variety of sports playing. Staff was very attentive
Gyros, baby! Maybe not the best in PDX, but still a warm, toothy wrap of satisfying goodness. I always go with the chicken version, with nice tender chunks of bird smothered in a pseudo “Greek” tzatziki sauce. Not the biggest, but it’s reasonably priced and it’s just always so tasty. Pair it with a crisp Pilsner from the fairly deep tap list, and you’re good to go. Just so ya know, Marathon is a full-on sports bar, with the bar up front, TVs pinned almost everywhere and some pool tables and other games out in the back room, downstairs. Order at the bar and the food will find you somehow. Lighting is dim, and there are no (or few) windows but it’s still all somehow cheery and welcoming, with warm wood tones and a laid back vibe. Lots of video poker games up front too, but hey — there’s free popcorn! A slice of old Portland I’m glad is still here, especially on those cold rainy nights. PS, the bathroom is pretty trashy. Of course.
Awesome spot to catch a game. They have a ton of TVs, so you won't miss a second of the action. Plus, their gyros are absolutely delicious. The place has ample seating, making it perfect for hanging out with friends and family. And to top it all off, there's a full bar with a great selection of drinks. Definitely a place I'll be returning to soon.
Had never visited before but definitely added to my rotations when in the area as the food was delicious and great pricing! Enjoyed my cheeseburger 🍔 with tater tots for $9.50!! Great neighborhood spot with their own parking lot Loads of screens so you won't miss out on any sport events and a room with pool tables
