Blue Marlin Saloon

Great piece of work. Small. Non busy and right next to the beach

The only things lacking were a GLUTEN FREE list of alcoholic beverages and a vegan menu.

Had fun on a two mini vacation from San Antonio. We had fun there watching the spurs win.

Nice, place, clean, good service, within walking distance of most motels there, lot to do in the area

Loved it!! Had a good time there. Great bartender!

Cool little dive bar with a huge patio. We love going out there to catch some sun!

Fun spot! Met some cool locals and other out of towners and had a blast!

I love all The Cool Blue Marlin party's I have attended! This is 1..... Thanks again!

Great hole in the wall bar on Northbeach. Outside patio is nice

Fantastic Bar Lots of locals bikers and veterans. Looking to relax with no drama This is the place!

We had an awesome time.. Woohoo thanks for the great service and fun.. Arkansans

Very nice place good prices on beer friendly

Great neighborhood bar!! Awesome staff.

Always a great time! Good people and awesome bartenders!! Karaoke pool tables darts and jukebox!

This place is a down to earth bar to visit, we are visitors from Nashville and we met this awesome warm hearted bar tender Lisa(Simpson). Thumbs up

service is consistently good. it has a cool atmosphere. food is similar to a place in san francisco i liked.

Service was awesome ! I enjoyed my time there. Everyone was very attentive & friendly.👌

Great atmosphere, out door patio/smoking section, vibes are amazing and jello shots are a must!💕🌊

Had a great time and cold drinks and Monday steak bring your steak and cook it the way you won't it and they have bake potatoes and trimming

Great bar to spend your 21st birthday, thank you for making it a great night for my niece.

Nice quite place to have drinks relax u can have fun without the commotion of huge crowds.

I love this place, great prices, environment and people watching. Don't forget to get a 2 dollar jello shot.

Had a good time! Karaoke with Greg was awesome! He does a great job!

It's a good place to relax after work, everyone is really friendly my first time there & I had a blast

Great place to hang out. Large open patio with music playing, bartenders are always friendly and always full of locals ;)

Old school dive bar, if lived near here I'd be a regular

FREE POOL ON TUESDAY !!! And the people inside were soo friendly , we felt right at home . One of the regulars was singing songs from the 80's . Thanks to all the ladies and guys to invite us for a great time .

Bad ass service by Lorie! The owners are very friendly, and the environment is awesome! Always open, recommend it 100%!!!!

This is THE BEST PLACE TO STOP BY & Have A Cold Beer 🍻 And the Bartender r very polite

The place is good if you have your own manors treat people like you want to be treated even if they are working for the public. The marlin is good folks down to earth and willing to go above and beyond to make sure that you fill at home.

Had a great time. meet great people. I will be back

I was there last night. It was an awesome experience.. The bartender made the best drinks. The vibe is the best! If u r looking for something different and out of the nor, u won't be disappointed

Thanks Mel for making us feel so welcome. We enjoyed hanging out while we waited for our hotel room to be ready. Hope to see you again

Have a good time enjoy myself when I was in club for Christian at this place I will say stop by and check it out if you put a dollar on the ceiling it will stay there with your initials on it I'm it so check it out enjoy the people in the bartender

I've only been there once so far. But, it is a nice looking little spot. The female bartender we had was very nice.

Hometown bar with great bartenders! Mel, D'nelle, Laticia, and Courtney are awesome! Laura is a welcoming regular along with so many others! Hometown feel!

Food was so fresh. The service was very helpful and observant. Prices are appropriate. Reminds me of a place in New York I loved to visit.

Always nice and chill

Glad we walked in here! The bar isn’t very big there’s some seating inside, and plenty more outside. Lori was the only bartender I saw all night! She’s definitely amazing at what she does. She kept up with all the beverage orders she was getting, and handled the overload like a champ. She never once seemed overwhelmed, or frustrated working the bar alone. She had a big smile welcoming everyone as they entered the bar. She made a killer Mexican Candy shot! I enjoyed the music variety some country, hip hop, and some rap. There’s 1 pool table inside which is free to play. They have darts, and slot machines inside as well. I love the decor inside, don’t forget to leave your signed bill on one of the walls. There’s parking on the lot, and side street parking. Thank you for your great service Lori!

Excellent Saloon! It is a fun place for locals and tourists to hang out and have a cold beverage after exploring the attractions on North Beach. I'm always trying to find the perfect margarita, and my bartender, Lori, prepared a delicious top shelf marg with seasoned salt on the rim. It was so awesome, I was forced to have another one! I highly recommend the Blue Marlin!

Stopped in for a cold beer. Bucket of 5 COLD Dos X $22 Happy Hour until 7 has domestics at $2.25 Cute place to relax & have a cold one. Small inside but has a patio area outside that I have seen bands at. Bartender was awesome! He was friendly & welcoming. So was a regular named Jerry. We also put our Dollar bills on wall w names. Love that at Dive Bars. They have pool, darts & a virtual gold game. Will stop again on next trip

Great atmosphere and i commend the fact that this bar allowed its facility to be used for a recent BBQ plate fundraiser to help a family whose mother just passed away. It proves they are not only a North Shore landmark, but they also care about the community!

Just spent a week in Corpus (I'm from Australia) and came here on my first night. The staff and locals are so friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough! Thanks for the memories team and treating me with so much respect. Really hope I can visit again in my travels. Make sure to add a note to the wall on your visit!!

Took a weekend to Corpus and found this great dive!!!! Cold brews and a/c blows cold on a hot day. Will definitely be back!!!

Friendly people, cold drinks, huge outdoor patio, BBQ Sundays, steak night and more.

Great bar awesome atmosphere … had a good time🍺service was great

The atmosphere here is awesome, and so are the people! Lorie is super friendly and a great bartender!! Recommend this place to anyone new and old to the area.. great walking distance from several hotels around.. owners are also very nice and friendly..

We Decided to stop in after seeing the Lexington. It was a Thursday afternoon and the bar was empty, outside had some regulars. Letty was our bartender and made the experience fantastic! She’s a hoot! If you like dive bars with customer supplied bathroom art you’ll love this place.

Great place!! Had so much fun playing pool and having drinks. The bar tender, Jimmy and clientele were awesome! Harvey, a regular was so kind and cooked for us. Would recommend stopping in for a drink!

I didn't eat there but what a great place to go for a beer and hang out play pool listen to music sit outside if you want fabulous place! Chili cook-off is this weekend people on Saturday come and join for the fun starts at noon all proceeds go to a good cause 🤟♥️🙏

Awesome, Fun, Cool place to go and have an ice-cold beer and a yummy Craft Cocktail. Leticia, Lisa, Lori, Jimmie, & Nicole are attentive, fast, and accommodating. Let them make you a yummy custom shot and watch the sunset 🌇 Monday night, Steak Night, Bring your own Meat: Go to Boarri on Staples, pick up a delicious piece of meat, and Blue MARLIN has pit ready for you, all sides provided by bar

GREAT LITTLE DIVE BAR!! Free pool! Great atmosphere.. I definitely recommend it!

I love this place is so fun and inviting 💕 karaoke 🎤 Friday nights and the whole vibe is good. LISA AND bartenders are great! They have a pool table and darts it's just a whole vibe.

Wasn't able to stay for the live entertainment but the band was a good band and the service was good and friendly

Great lil hangout for late night drink st a beach side bar.

Awesome, they are very friendly and it is a very fun place to visit.

It was ok. Drinks were a little pricy for what it was.

The bartender was friendly and good❤ the AC was was good & cold. A local bar with good people and good times!!!😻

Always a pleasure visiting Corpus. This place is our go to place when we want to have drinks and just relax.

Food was pretty good could have been better service could have been better as well but overall it was decent

Been there plenty of times, always had a great time,joking and laughed all the time,patrons are friendly, and staff are great,I will return and take my freinds there for a auesome time

Nice little bar on the bay. People were friendly and the live music was enjoyable. Would return for sure!

Great place to drink, l heard it's a landmark!

It's a good place to have a cold one with your buddies after work, the staff will treat you like family.

Great place had my birthday there. It was lots of laughs and fun with my family.

We were there when it was slow. Good drinks, but limited in options for drinks. Good for when you have been in the car to long and need a break!

Just a bar on North Beach Corpus Christi Texas. Juke box. Pool table. Indoor outdoor tables. Plenty of room to sit. Limited parking

+1

Very friendly place. I love to preform here!!! Always a crowd with energy. Brenda at the bar is awesome. Everyone there is just a crazy bunch!! You can be inside at the bar or outdoors on the patio. Beer and liquor. Right on the beach

Great bar to hang out at! I was visiting from out of town. Bar tender was super friendly, it was just hot since their AC was down.

This is a very nice setup place for couples or a group of adults, good music, they also do karaoke, friendly staff. This is a place to go if you stay in the hotels close by.

This is a true dive bar. They are open until 2 am which is one of the few places in the area. The service is good for the most part, depends who is working. Very reasonable prices.

Great local spot for beers with friends and meeting great locals. Play some pool and if you luck meet the local Pool coach Bob !

Definitely have to say they welcomed me in. This place seemed kind of rinky-dink at first. But once you go in and start to meet the people you get a different feeling. Definitely love that they had a live band. The bartender seems from looks a little bit mean but honestly she's very nice. Definitely enjoyed it here. The drinks were good. I even got to meet the owner. She seems very nice also. Definitely would go back here and recommend this place. I had no troubles while I was here

Was skeptical at first but wife and I went in to just get drink and go. We end up staying 2 more hours! Sat at bar a d bartender was very pleasant and provided awesome drinks. Met some very friendly people there!!! Will be back.

The close proximity to the shore makes the marlin a convenient luxury for a thirsty beach goer. Spotty service though.

This a common southern bar. Some seafood available. Beers and hard liquor. The place need an update. Outside seats and bar. Live music some days.

Well this only place that's stay open till 2 if your staying in North Beach especially if your staying on the beach its was pretty laid back not really much to do but enjoy the company around you and the good conversation the bloody Mary i had was good actually really good had a couple jello shots there where nasty but they were giving to me the bartender red carded my friend I wasn't upset actually a lil surprise its shows that they Drink Responsible 🍻👌 for that I Thank You

nice Patriots they have in there to talk with you can either sit inside or outside the bartender did not really seem like she wanted to be there and they have huge I mean big huge water bugs.

It's a very friendly bar. Only thing is that their AC was out. For a little place like this - they charge a helluva lot for what they call shots. I guess it's who makes them too because the Green Tea I had was nOt a Green Tea haha. We still tipped them really good because they're super friendly!!!

This is the kind of place where the 10 regulars look at you like an invader when you walk in and they don't recognize you. The bartender was very nice, tho. Beer was cold, and the back patio was nicer than expected. Music was a bit too loud outside, and my brother and I had a hard time hearing each other. This North shore dive bar was everything you'd expect.

If you like local bars then this is a solid 2 stars. It's cheap and it's exactly what you expect from such an experience. If you are familiar with how bars work then don't go here. It's fine if you are bored and like this kind of place. Beggars can't be choosers on the North Beach.

Beers were cheap. Toilets didn't work so it was a porta potty out in the parking lot. There was also a motorcycle gang (club) there that added to the evening.

I honestly would like to give this place a higher rating and another chance after reading some of the reviews I looked forward to going here. Not everyone gets the "Cheers" experience unless your a local I was told by some passersby who said he was a regular. If your not going to get greeted as you walk in you definitely shouldn't be ignored at the bar. Hopefully next time we pass through town our next experience wont be like this.

Worst experience ever. I don’t ever leave reviews. But bartender was disrespectful.i was ignored multiple times to get a drink. I asked a question about tab because I was charged for other people drinks. Bartender told me If I didn’t like it I could leave. I would never recommend bar to anyone.

We drove through town and this was the closest parts where a hotel the people were nice when we walked in but then when I was talking to the blonde bartender native bartender with the black hair turn the music up so loud she couldn't hear what drink I wanted so after I got past that I was watching something on the TV that was interesting and and the ladies the black hair put the game that was almost over at 9:45 on the tv after watching me watch it completely rude broad

Waitress made me a drink, but forgot to put the liquor in it, I watched her make it, so I ask her to close me out, turns out I drank $80 worth of alcohol in two hours! So I asked for a receipt with a breakdown of my drinks, she gives me a handwritten card with some chicken scratch I couldn’t even read, then she turns around and cussed out another customer next to me, cause of the same problem! And all this while having to pay top dollar for my drinks in this hole in the wall. Tried to get the owners number, and she (the mngr Brenda, who is also the same waitress, would not give it to me) very rude and mean! Will not be back here again..

I would give zero stars if I could but I for one had the worst experiencethe night started out great it was when I left the bar that my card was charged for the drinks I ordered plus a tip I didn't add to the check so not only did the bar tender help herself to my money which over drafted my card and I had to pay an additional 35 dollars and when I tried to contact the owner not even for a refund just to let her know her staff is stealing I never got a call back I've called 3 times and no I didn't leave my card overnight and just an FYI If you forget your card the bartenders tip them selves this was said to me by one of the bartenders

Let me begin by saying, I like dive bars. New Orleans has plenty of awesome dive bars that I frequent. This place gives dive bars a bad name. A fecal cavity like no other!

The bartender was so rude it was my first time there and I asked where the restroom was and she replied it's right here can't you see it. Well no I didn't because it was labled indoor atmosphere was nice but bartender rude

The bartender is syscho, and the bar staff is the same!!!! Bartender threw a fit, leave when I say leave, a head of 2am!!! Our time runs different than actual time, and supported by stupid staff!!!!! Really???? This pace is stupid!!! No joke... ... insane.
