I went in on a Saturday night about 9:15 and it was pretty empty. I had heard the music was good (it was) and had two R n C while watching the game and listening to the DJ. Younger crowd started coming in about 10:30. I asked for a beer and bartender told me I was cut off. I paid my bill and stood and listened to the music and enjoyed watching the nightlife. Bouncer came up to me at 11:10 and told me to leave because I was standing there all night. I was there without my wife and bothering nobody. Unsure of why I was such a threat that they felt the need to throw me out.

The bartenders are friendly & attentive, and the sound system thumps!

Honestly the music is bomb at Marks and the bar tenders are cute. Small area but it gets packed.

The getting into the building is awkward. There is a key box outside which unlocks down door and another upstairs for apartment door. Was instructed to leave keys in box I would suggest a keypad lock. The apartment was spacious and excellently appointed but there was no cable. Also its over a bar very very nosey. Also there is no parking. None for free. Across the street a parking garage $50.00 a night. Just another added expense. You book this space for X dollars and then add fees at the end. All In all although I really wanted to stay IN the old port I could have as a single or couple stayed at one of the close boutique hotels close by for less. I never write bad reviews I generally distrust them but buyer beware here there be dragons. Dont believe me check it out.I was very excited to be IN the old port

Wow. So rapey I couldnt believe my eyes. Free rufees for dudes that know the employees. Got kicked out for being a nice guy. Good luck with your drug sales. Wont. Be. Coming. Back.

I used to thoroughly enjoy my nights out at Marks Place, however lately Ive noticed the bartenders would rather dance on the poles than do their jobs. Last night I was kicked out at the request of a bartender after calling her out for spilling a drink on me whilst dancing on the pole. Completely unprofessional. If the bartenders want to dance on the poles instead of doing their jobs, by all means go for it, HOWEVER maybe take all the drinks off the bar first so youre not constantly kicking them on people. -1/10

Good music n good DJ recommend for weekend

This place is a real dive bar. My girlfriend and I left the bar to talk outside. When we went back inside, she accidentally walked past the bouncer, and he proceeded to grab her forcibly by the arm. She was not asked to see her ID, after we were patronizing their bar. Instead she was assaulted inside of the bar by the bouncer and forcibly removed for no reason whatsoever. She asked to get her purse, to show her ID. Seconds later, she was in a full bear hug by the bouncer being thrown out of the bar for absolutely no reason. We had full drinks and we were thrown out of the bar for walking back in and missing the newly appointed bouncer. When I asked to speak to the manager, he would not give me his name. The bouncer refused to give his name as well. This is unacceptable. We are going to sue the pants off of marks place. It’s no wonder this place has such a low rating on google. Avoid at all costs!!!

Great atmosphere. The DJ on Saturday night is really good!

A real dive. Rude service and ruder patrons. Avoid!!

Beer selection poor. Food is poor. Owner is a weird dude. Not a good fit for downtown. Buffalo Wild Wings-esque

Local bar and dance place located on Fore Street in Portlands Old Port.Fair drink specials are run on the regular.Ladies may indulge themselves and dance on the bar top.

Kinda tight but the music is great! Wednesday and Friday is prime time!. Stripper pole is a nice touch

Worst place in Portland can’t be a white guy dancing by yourself.

Inattentive bartenders, may be because theyre new. Good food, though.
