A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 192: Marshall’s Tap

by MBIP


Tonight I thought we’d head over to Marshall’s Tap in Bartonville and make that our 192nd bar of this 365 tour.

And so it’s off to Bartonville we go! See how simple this can be?

Bar Number 192: Marshall’s Tap, Sunday, August 16, 2026

Here we are in Bartonville and there’s a signpost ahead…

We’re here at Marshall’s Tap, let’s go in and see what’s happening inside on this Sunday evening in Bartonville, Illinois.

They have a nice looking wooden bar in here that greets you as soon as you walk in.

Let’s snag a seat and get settled in for the evening.

Amber was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and I thought she looked familiar and she reminded me that we met at Jim Dandy’s back in June when she was bartending there that evening.

It was great to see her again, 57 bars later! If we cross paths again, I’ll officially be stalking her!

Here’s a shot of the back of the bar and as you can see, they have a nice selection of bottled beer on hand!

There’s the four beers on tap and the Twisted Tea behind the bar and the Marshall’s Tap cooler is very well stocked for the evening!

This sign behind the bar let’s you know that Amber is indeed your bartender for the evening and it also lists the daily specials in here.

There’s tables and chairs opposite the bar in here.

They have a really nice gaming room behind the bar with tables, a TV, gaming machines and two state-of-the-art dartboards.

This is probably the nicest gaming room I’ve seen on this tour so far!

Here’s a shot of the bar from the other end.

Sara and Justin were seated at the bar and Sara reminded me that we had previously met a while back. It was great to see her again and to meet Justin!

Amber came out from behind the bar to pose for a photo with Jamie and Jenn, who were also seated down at this end of the bar.

Here’s a shot from the back of the bar.

There’s a nice covered beer patio outside and there’s Jamie, Jenn and Sara enjoying it!
