Amid the brilliant oranges, pinks, and blues, and under one of the best views of the Milky Way outside McDonald Observatory, the thick, rich scents of house-smoked barbecue and micro-brewed beer will soon fill the air.
In what used to be Marathon’s only mercantile, and what was many years later known as a favorite local hangout – the Famous Burro Bar and Grill – Brick Vault Brewery and Barbecue will be the newest addition to Marathon’s culinary destinations. Like the Gage Hotel, the V6 Coffee Bar, Captain Shepard’s Inn, and many other commercial and residential buildings, the Brick Vault is the most recent addition to J.P. Bryan’s collection of Marathon’s historic infrastructure. Handcrafted food and drink – though worthy of any urban metropolis – will be lovingly created in and coupled with small town charm under the prettiest skies anywhere.
