I'm not gonna bite the hand that feeds ... Sure, Marquee could use some serious upgrades and curb all of that goose-stepping Junior Arpaio Youth Camp bullshit ... but they are bringing most of the indie acts to the Valley that I'm hungry for.
I've seen everything from folksy act Sufjan Stevens (with chairs) to twee act Of Montreal (sans chairs) to electronica act Air (sans face, melted off), etc. and each time its been a pleasant concert-attending experience. As is typical of my reviews, I liked it better when smoking was permitted -- Come on, Damon Gogh without a fag in hand?? -- it just doesn't seem right in an indie music venue. But their patio is suitable for drinking and taking a mid-show break, even if it IS pretty rag-tag.
As mentioned by others, the drink prices are average, but they do have a pretty good selection for a music venue. It says they are focused on making the beer lover happy, and not just forcing their hand on a $6 miller light.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this place. Its easy to get in and out of and is in a good Valley location right off the 202 with Tempe looming as a pre-drinks destination.
