Reviews
The bar is cozy, well decorated, and welcoming. Stop in and have a drink, I double dog dare you.
I returned a month or so later with another friend, this time we sat at the bar. My friend and I are in our early 20’s, so when we were promptly ID’d it wasn’t a surprise in the slightest. My friend handed over her ID, and I explained that I wasn’t planning on drinking and that we were here for a meal and conversation. That was apparently an issue for the bartender. Had they asked to see my ID regardless, I would’ve happily provided it. They did not.
I have never had this problem at other establishments. I’ve bartended, I don’t nurse the same drink for an hour and I try my hardest to tip as well as I can. The service industry can be hard!
From the moment we walked in the door, the bartender seemed to not like our presence. They were smiley and talkative with every customer but my friend and myself. Any time we attempted to make conversation we were promptly shut down. The other customers were paying more attention to what we were saying than the bartender we were speaking to! It got to the point where we had to box up our food and find another place to chat. I’ve never felt worse “get out!” vibes from a bartender before, and yet we still tipped generously. I know that sometimes younger folks aren’t the best about tips, so I try and be very good about it.
I’ve been dying to stop in again and try and put the experience behind me. The lamps alone are enough to make me come back.
Seriously though, the food is downright amazing! If you’re looking for a cozy eclectic joint, this is it!
The place gives off an old school pub vibe, but it’s also clean and up to date.
I didn’t know what to expect when I walked in, but the bartender greeted me immediately and came over to take my drink order. He was back shortly to take my food order. I felt well taken care of.
I wound up having the Mickey Burger which includes fried onion strings. I also substituted fries for the chips which come with it for $2.00.
I ordered the burger medium rare, and it arrived with the correct amount of pink in the middle. The fries were fresh and hot, which matters a lot.
The bartender refilled my soda without having to be waved down, which is a sign of excellent service.
Overall I found Mickey’s to be excellent, both for the food and the service. If I was forced to give a criticism I would have to say that the burger could have had a little more crust on it.
Mickey’s does have a small parking lot on the side which seems to fit about 7 or 8 cars. You do have to back out onto Williamson Street when you leave, but it’s not a busy section of the road, so you don’t have to wait too long.
I highly recommend this place.
Really enjoy this spot and understand why it’s a local staple in the Marion area.
