Cortez Room

This is my favorite bar to hang out in. The bartenders are all awesome, and the KJ, Craig, who does karaōke on Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sat nights is AMAZING!!! Tuesday night, happy hour until closing. The drinks are cold and well crafted. The atmosphere can range from quiet and cozy to a little crazy — but that’s just the way a small bar in a small town should be.

Felt bored and wanted to take a road trip. I had never been to Marysville before so I thought I’d check it out. Figured I could find some cool little dive bar. and I did! this place is a solid 4 stars. I liked almost everything about it. The clientele were older folks that were pretty friendly, the bartender was a sweetie and extremely hospitable. the façade of the joint gives it that retro 70s cocktail lounge feel that I love. One thing I would say, they could do without a life size cut out of Jason Aldean on the wall. with his ripped up designer jeans and earrings he’s everything thats wrong with country. I mean I can tolerate a few of his songs, but C’mon man! I’ll give it points for having sports and bud on tap. They sell pitchers of beer. I like it, if it was Bud Light that’d be better! but now Im just getting nitpicky. stop in if youre in the area. you won’t be disappointed.

Super divey, but I think it’s unintentionally so.
The crowd was friendly as was the staff.

This place is next to the County Courthouse and a string of lawyers’ offices in old Victorians. We were there on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly bartender. Has a big screen TV, a few tables, long bar, and a meat grill (operational?). Pretty good liquor selection, limited tap selection. Bottles were cheap & cold :-)
We learned that the current owner (a woman in her 70’s) puts a little bit of a damper on the weekend karaōke festivities (no loud music, no bad language). Smelled smokey inside, but someone was smoking outside when we came in. Probably a completely different scene during the week with the county employees & legal staff.
