From the moment you step down into this inviting establishment, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that is both cozy and exquisite.
The bar area is impeccably clean, boasting a design that cleverly allows guests to wander between sipping meticulously crafted cocktails and exploring an array of high-quality salon products. The dual concept is intriguing, offering something truly unique on a block known for its competitive array of eateries and bars.

The Drinks: The evening’s beverages were nothing short of exceptional. A bartender, whose arms told stories of drinks and mythical creatures intertwined in ink, demonstrated a meticulous skill in crafting each cocktail. The Old-Fashioned and White Russian prepared were testaments to the art of mixology—simple yet elegant drinks where precision and care in crafting them cannot be understated. Both were perfectly balanced, hitting the mark and elevating the overall experience.
Marmalade stands out not just for its novel concept but for creating an environment where every visit feels like a discovery, a place where the night comes alive in the most unexpected and delightful ways. Whether you’re there for the drinks, the salon experience, or the sheer joy of finding something new, Marmalade promises an evening that will linger in your memory long after you’ve ascended back to the bustling streets of Olde Town.
Highly recommended for those seeking an evening of relaxation, good music, and great company in a setting that breaks the mold.
