Laid-back bar with craft beer, wine, jukebox rock & tasty bites
"Got your dad in town from Michigan? Marshall Stack is the kind of chill bar where he’d (almost) fit in. Even if you don’t have anyone over-50 in tow, it’s a great, casual, unpretentious oasis in an area filled with sceney spots. This is a great place to catch up over a few beers." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"What happened to the Lower East Side? It’s like it went out for a pack of smokes one day and came back with an MFA. At least there’s still Marshall Stack. It’s in the northwest corner of the LES, and it’s the final drinking outpost before the eternal frat party of Rivington Street begins. This is where you go when all you really want to do is a have a good beer and talk to someone without having to shout. And if you do have to shout, at least it’ll be over a classic rock soundtrack. Come with a few friends, grab some tables side-by-side, and you’re set." - bryan kim
"On Rivington Street, I learned that Marshall Stack Bar was the scene Thursday night when a 23-year-old grad student got locked in overnight: he fell asleep in the bathroom after a 12-hour workday, woke up at 7 a.m. to find himself trapped, called 911, and firefighters had to let him out. I also noted this was the second recent incident of someone getting locked in a Lower East Side bar, after an underage woman was similarly trapped in July." - Stefanie Tuder
"A Lower East Side bar whose staff have expressed caution about reopening — employee John Matos said, 'We don’t want it to be a free-for-all' — reflecting a trend of late-night venues restricting hours and tightening operations because of staffing shortages and concerns about customer-related issues." - Chris Crowley
"A restaurant where one employee describes routinely working solo shifts covering every role — waiter, bartender, manager, barback, chef, security, and cleaner — a stopgap strategy that provided purpose during the worst of the pandemic but is unsustainable as indoor and outdoor service expand." - Chris Crowley
