Bomb Chicken!! Best I have ever had!

I cannot believe that nobody has written anything about this place since 2005. I used to drive by and think that the place was closed all of the time before new ownership took over in 2006. The once covered windows have now been opened up and there are plenty of tv's to watch. Yes the building is old but the interior is very clean and they have a great selection of food, beverage and a healthy line up of draft beers That are served in Frosty cold glasses. The Friendly staff has put together a great menu consisting of Burgers, Toasted Grinders, Pressure Fried Chicken and JO's!!! and a couple of awesome salads. The walls once covered with a spattering of all kinds of beer neons and mirrors has been changed to a more sports related NASCAR theme. They actually have the entire side panel of a Real NASCAR hanging on the wall, not to mention the other various car parts that have actually been crashed in races. Since the facelift of the decor there has been a change in clientelle too attracting people from as far as Maple Valley, and Lynwood for their fun and lively Friday nights with Swifty's Karaoke. All in all this is a great place to gather with friends and It is Happy hour all day on Saturdays. I even won $400 playing pull tabs for the first time. They said that Fridays are really busy during lunch so if you have a short lunch hour try to go on another day of the week. I love the people and food so much that I get my lunch to go when I don't have much time.

Enjoy your first or next experience at the Marco Polo Bar and Grill!

• Pros: FOOD, DRINKS, SERVICE, ON BUS LINE, PLENTY OF FREE PARKING, Lighting and Volume of music not too loud. FROSTY COLD BEER GLASSES!!
• Cons: Not open on Sundays, Bathrooms are small.

What a place--scrubbed out, fairly clean dive with great drinks, attentive service & occasionally the hot young thing crawling up on the table to dance out a number or two. Too bad no happy hour--what gives Polo? Happy hour pricing=more girls eh?--and more table dancing--you can never see enough of that right? Just wish they'd open a door and let some of that smoke out--are you trying to kill us? Bad enough we do it to ourselves anyway--I mean, I go there, but i don't wanna smell like I go there--get it? Ventilation please--it is bars like this that really murder me. Ventilation+Happy hour+blondes=good times for all.

• Pros: blondes on tables, "real" crowd, good beer selection
• Cons: not enough blondes , no happy hour!, open a door please!

This is a great little bar and grill. Live music on FRI-SAT. A cute bartender, drinks are ample and the SUPERBURGER OMG that thing rules!!! The staff is very friendly and it is a great place to party. In the midst of georgetown this little bar blows the doors off the competition. The owner keeps the riffraff out and you'll be pleasantly surprised how clean this joint is. A five star bar!! Try it you'll be back.

• Pros: Live music, Friendly crowd, Good food
• Cons: georgetown
