Taverne Marion is the Village’s lighter, livelier answer to Taverne Midway—same crew, different vibe. Set in the space that once housed the dive Fun Spot, the bar traded video poker for whitewashed brick, garage-style windows, and a food menu that leans bar snack without phoning it in. Think hummus with caramelized onion, Cajun wings with blue cheese dip, and butter chicken flatbread from Ferme des Voltigeurs. On the drinks front, Marion covers a lot of ground without losing the plot: Québec craft beers and natural wines, thoughtful cocktails that swing from classics to house originals like the Falcon Punch and Italian Cholo, and a spirits list that reads like a liquid library—mezcal, bourbon, pisco, you name it. The playlist’s loose, the lighting’s good, and the terrace windows crack open in summer to let the street spill in. Marion might be the “little sister,” but she holds her own.
