It is a very small space and full of UAF students. Live music here. the address on Yelp took me past it, looking it up on Google got me there.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, TOOOOO SMALL....they were mosh pitting and that bar is too fucking small for that. They have live music which is cool...also the bar is so small when someone farts you smell it through out the whole bar- true story. Someone farted and it stunk for like 10 minuets.

Cool bar, pricey beers, sometimes music. Very smokey, and both types of smoke at that. It's a solid dive, but on the expensive side for draught beers.

If you enjoy dive bars, this place is perfect. By far my favorite place in Fairbanks. It's kind of a hippie spot, and that's what makes me love it even more. The people here are all super friendly. A great place for good conversations. The bar tenders are great and super friendly. They even serve you your beer in mason jars.

Ah, Fairbanks. Where there are six months of darkness and few worthwhile places to go. Never fear; The Marlin is here! If you don't like dive bars, you aren't going to be a fan of the Fairbanks bar scene in general (or, for that matter, Fairbanks), and The Marlin is definitely the best of them. Drinks aren't particularly cheap, but this is Alaska, and The Marlin is totally reasonable. Head over for Wednesday night talent night (always a good mix of college kids and young adults) or be surprised when you drop in for a pint after work to find a Doctor Who theme party in the works. Some nights there is even a hot dog place open above so that you can satiate your craving without, literally, freezing to death.

This place is a little scary. Located in the basemet of a hostel the Marlin is dark, dank and smelly but we visited to check out the live music scene in Fairbanks. The beer selection included lost of Alaskan-brand beers and other craft beers. The walls and ceiling are covered in stickers, band posters and other various items which add to the odd atmosphere. There was a neat patio that you can access from the very back of the bar. During the summer it would likely be a nice place to hang out. I was disappointed the band didn't start at 10 as advertised ... or even at 10:30 .... it appeared the music was at least an hour away.

Out of the 4 bars I went to in Fairbanks, this one was by far my favorite. It's one of those warm,dark, tavern-y type of bars that would be great to sip a hot toddy in. The bartenders were friendly and very helpful when helping me pick out an Alaskan beer to try, which they served to me in a pint-size jar (which I would have stolen had it had a bar logo of some sort on it) :D They keep the music in the front room and the smokers in the back room, which is a nice reprieve from the other bars in town (where people smoke everywhere!) I noticed a lot of dreadlocks as well (not a bad thing, merely an observation). Check it out, should you ever be in Fairbanks :) P.S. There's a guy grillin' hot dogs n' onions n' all kinds of fixins in that (oddly well-ventilated) smokers' back room. Yummyness.

Favorite bar is Fairbanks, hands down. Best times had when goo local music like sweating honey or feeding frenzy is playing. Confined, smelly, his is not a bar for heels and tight dresses. Be prepared to cram through tight spots and enjoy good conversation on the back deck.

Great little dive bar...my first time there the staff was great and took care of us right. Confined space...dingy...dirty...I loved it...

Can I give this no stars? Where to start...The clientele there are mostly that of the hippy sort, so it stays pretty rank. The bathrooms are a small upgrade from an outhouse, so I guess they got that going for them. The Marlin crowds easily, due to the size, so one can't dock them too much for going over capacity, if they have that. I have heard people go on multiple occasions to have things stolen. The worst thing, other then the shady crowd, is that it is not well kept. I know it's a dive but most don't let glasses pile up on a table that hasn't had people at it for some time. Give every bar a chance, and sometimes several before deciding how bad it really is.

Yelp reviews led us here and we were not disappointed. Alaskan beers served in jars. Graffiti everywhere, several small rooms including an outdoor deck. DJ and $5 cover on the Saturday we went. Mostly twenty somethings, and more men than women, can't complain about that. ;)
(3)Blake E.
I've heard this described as a Bohemian bar, and I would have to agree. The walls are covered in signed and dated dollar bills, along with many other odd decorations. The Marlin attracts a lot of college students due to its proximity to campus. As mentioned in other reviews the smoking area is in the back room, leaving the bar and stage smoke free.

Worst bar in Fairbanks. They charge a cover, even when the place is dead, the drinks are weak, and there is nothing near it. Definitely comes off as a hippy/college joint.
