I went to The Marlay tonight, a bar which until recently was called “The Grange”. This has been one of my favorite bars in Decatur for a while now, but I’m not a huge fan of the name change. It’s still the same place, and I do kind of love that the name change was spurred by a trademark dispute.
They had a bunch of special Irish beers on tap leading up to St. Patty’s Day. If you’re looking for a fun bar to celebrate, I can pretty much guarantee they will have a big celebration.
I like going to the Marlay because they have a good beer list (not as good as brick store/the porter, but definitely decent), the food is good (killer fries), and I like the ambiance. I especially like coming here in the summer for the patio.

Food I recommend: the fries, burger, brisket plate and any of the beers- especially Rochefort 6 (trappist ale).
