The owner (Gus) or his brother owns the Acropolis II strip club on SE McLoughlin. Back then it was strictly a beer bar for aging alcoholics. The old alkies still go there but tend to hang out at the west end while the youngsters prefer the pool tables at the east end. The food at the Marathon is decent for a tavern although they have some strange combinations (like if you order a steak it comes with fries and potato salad). They also keep the beer very cold and normally have lower prices than other downtown taverns. I started going here when it was the Acropolis.
