Description
Happy hour at Marathon Taverna includes: 7am-7pm $2.50 pitchers of Miller High Life. 7am-2pm $2 Eggs/Bacon/Toast, 7am-12pm $2 pints, $2.50 7am-7pm. Tuesdays 8pm-12am has $2 Drop Top Pints and $1 dozen little smokies. Happy Hour at Marathon features a food special for $3 gyros and $4 with fries between 2pm and 5pm.
This place is the best. They have the greatest deals ever. $1 Busch and $3 Gyros make me very happy. Everyone needs to check this place out. They have been in business for 36 years. If you ask me, this bar is a monument to Portland Urban drinkers.

11-Mar-10Myself and 3 friends went to Marathon Taverna last night. We were not required to show ID to enter, and went in and sat at the back of the bar.
Almost immediately, one of the bouncers came up to me and asked to speak to me outside. I complied without any resistance.
He told me that "2 people told me you flipped me off" which was completely untrue, and I responded as such. We were at this time right at the threshold of the font door. He repeated his claim, and I also did.
I did not offer any resistance other than verbally telling him that the claims were untrue, and in a calm, non-threatening voice. I asked to see who these people were to substantiate his claim.
At this point, the bouncer did not reply as he knew his claims were untrue, and shoved me. I slid backward down the slope to the door and fell down onto the sidewalk because I was wearing dress shoes with little grip. I skinned my knee and tore a hole in my pants and we left.
There is no reason to be assaulted by the employees of a business in this manner for no reason whatsoever other than stating that their claims of my behavior is untrue and asking them to produce the witnesses they claim.
Further, this business is located on Burnside, which in my opinion is a busy street even at night and someone pushing patrons at the door on the narrow sidewalk could very easily result in someone falling into the street and having serious injury if a car is driving by.
I used to go to Marathon quite often, but highly unprofessional treatment and is potentially very dangerous. I will never go here again and recommend that you do not subject yourself to this possibility either.
18-Jul-09This is simply a great bar. Plenty of seating, Tons of TVs, Pool Tables, Darts, Pinball, Big Buck Hunter, Nice selection of beers, Friendly Staff, Priced right. The 'Thon is where its at.
24-Mar-07I love going to Marathon to play some pinball. The bartenders are friendly, the beer is cheap and they have free popcorn. The downside is that it is smokey.
29-Dec-06The Marathon Taverna is actually owned by a Greek gentleman, and the place is a true, classic, Portland dive bar. Go visit to see what Portland used to be like.
27-Nov-06Pinball, pool, fried cheese, and friendly staff, what more can you want in a bar?
25-Nov-06Marathon is a true bar with a perfect mixture of dive and clientele that you would actually talk to. The pool tables only strengthen its claim.
