The Spot - Marshalltown

This is the top small bar in town. The staff are friendly, funny, and the bartenders remember your drink after just one visit. The bar can only seat 24 people, but there's so much more to enjoy than just a seat. Shirley, the owner, is exceptional. The patrons are welcoming, and everyone greets each other with a smile.

This charming little bar has a cozy atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It stands out among other bars in town and, while it may be a bit old-fashioned, it has a certain charm that can't be beat.

There is street parking available at this local dive that has been open since 1970. Even if the bartender doesn't know you, she is still friendly. The locals tend to stare, which can be a bit unsettling.

Thank you, Shirley! I hope to see you more often at the restaurant. Taking it one day at a time is the best approach.
