Marlow's Tavern - Vinings
Marlow’s Tavern is a modern neighbor tavern mini-chain. There ten Marlow's Taverns in the Atlanta metro area and another two in Florida. We received a coupon in the mail for $5.00 off if you buy so much (I think it was $15.00) at Marlow’s Tavern. We decided to use the coupon at the Tavern on Cumberland Parkway in Vinings. My first impression wasn’t very good. It was dark. With dark walls, black booths, dark wood tables and the summer outside outdoor dining cover blocked most of the windows, it took a long time for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. The spot lighting from overhead left shadows and the menu was difficult to read in the dim light. The music was too loud for early afternoon. The volume is probably great when the place is mostly full; however, for our late lunch (about 1:30), it was a bit much. I’m a big guy and the booth was just barely acceptable. Finally, most of the wait staff were hanging out at the pass...
