The bar at the Marlin Club was built to resemble the bow of a classic boat by the Merchant Marines during World War II.
The Marlin Club is the oldest bar in Avalon and we have been serving great drinks and lots of fun for over 75 years. Our bar was built to resemble the bow of a boat by Merchant Marines living on the island during World War II. The interior is an underwater seascape mural painted in the classic Art Deco style in 1946 by local Catalina artist Bud Upton. Sit at the bar and you will realize you are underwater exploring a sunken ship resting peacefully on the floor of the sea. If you are in Avalon looking for great drinks and a lot of fun, we are easy to find, the Marlin Club is just steps from the Green Pier at 108 Catalina Avenue.
The fully equipped bar includes multiple large screen TVs, a pool table, foosball, a video game, live music, and a jukebox with the best music in town. Come in and see why people worldwide consider the Marlin Club their bar!
