In early August 2021, our musician friends were setting up equipment & playing their sets on a giant rug in the back of the restaurant each Thursday night.😬

A beautiful stage took the place of the old rug (thank you Justin Ahlstrom 💚) and we’re still here telling the tale… and singing the songs… every Thursday night!🎶

See y’all for live music soon - save your spot at Resy.com.😎

Grandma Margie never let us leave her home empty handed, and with this inspiration, we end every Margie’s visit with a cute little homemade chocolate chip cookie. Our family & restaurant team care deeply about hospitality and community building, and we hope our cookie send-off serves as an outward symbol of our values.💚

Whether you live in the neighborhood or drive many miles to spend time at the restaurant, we’ll be so happy to share a sweet treat with you as you leave us to head back into the world.🍪

✨Unique Margie’s Brews✨

•Margie’s Gold Ale: this collaboration with Pryes Brewing Company is crisp & malty, but light enough to maintain a smooth finish. Pairs easily with anything on our menu! 🍽️

•Margie’s American IPA: a slightly grainy & dry IPA, with tropical notes on the finish, made in collaboration with the Spiral Brewery crew. *The bitterness is firm on this one, but not scary, for anyone generally cautious with an IPA! 💚

Grab a spot at the bar & check out these Margie’s delights, a local craft beer, or even a Coors Light, if that’s more your speed.😉 Cheers, friends!🍻
