Editorial Review for The Marq – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Lined with plush booths and tables, the low-lit venue provides a variety of spots for groups to lounge. Amongst red drapes and dark woods, friendly hosts and hostesses tend to the discreet and the high-profile tables, offering beer, wine and exotic cocktails. Groups looking for an incognito evening can reserve one of the three enclosed, padded soundproof booths overlooking the small dance floor.

The positives Respectful doormen (How many do you know of who smile and say "Thank you" upon returning your ID?) Great Bartenders (friendly, efficient, and not wasted) Good crowd (put together well without trying too hard...no ears tucked into caps) The negative THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You have 2 speeds to choose from...1. Random corny music that only junior high school girls would dance to (in their little circle of course, purses in the middle)...and 2. Poory, poorly "remastered" pop songs mixed by their local DJ-the second something decent begins to play, he is already mixing something in that TOTALLY KILLS IT. Trust me-if multi platinum award winning artists with millionaire producers wanted Jay Z rapping over a Cindy Lauper song it would have already happened...know your role and play either popular (not MY choice) or good, rare stuff that makes me have to ask...but I guess this IS Austin and its good enough for the majority... Overall a classy place that still feels friendly...
Pros: staff, patrons, location
Cons: music

The Marq is my new favorite bar in Austin!! The line was a little long, but once we got in we never left. The bartenders were cool and fast, and the girls were hot! It was so busy, but we got our drinks right away. We stayed until 2, and will be back again next weekend.
Pros: fun and great service
Cons: line was a little long but once we got in it was awesome
