The staff is so nice always smiling, always always friendly.

Awesome sound system and reasonably priced drinks. I also like how the stage is elevated as it made for a better viewing experience.

Way overpriced. $5 Shiner tallboy and their $2 whiskey special was gross bottom shelf stuff. Its a good place to dance and meet people, but also loud and often overcrowded

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE DISABLED! There are no accommodations & the owner goes on a power tripI drove 30 hour round trip just to go to a show here and be harassed the whole time by the owner and security. I’m disabled and federal ADA (Americans with disabilities Act) law requires venues to have a safe space for disabled people to sit & see the show. Well I asked the venue for a chair and a safe space & the owner got so mad at me. Yelling at me to ‘call the feds’ because he doesn’t care about accommodating the disabled to federal standards. I have debilitating fatigue and a handful of other issues, since they denied me a chair I sat on the floor for a breather, security came up to me and told me I wasn’t allowed to sit on the ground despite me explaining it was a medical issue. There was one nice security guard who noticed me crying and distressed & he brought me a stool, just for the owner to order another employee to take it away from me! After more crying the nice security guard was able to set me a stool near the merch stand. A handful more security guards harassed me for sitting through out the show. I would give zero stars for the venue if I could.

First time here I came to see Tchami and I had so much fun! The crowd was pretty good, it wasn’t overly packed and drinks were decently priced. Would definitely come back there to see another show.

Located in downtown San Marcos. I recommend arriving early to get a good parking space close to this location. There is no parking garage just street parking. The reason why I am giving the location 1 star is because I attended a concert in May. The staff was so disorganized. I paid for VIP which included early entrance at 6:30pm. We were not allowed inside until 8:12 and the show was suppose to start at 8pm. What was the point of noting early entry if you are not going to follow it.It was 90 degrees outside, poor guy in front of me shirt was dripping in sweat by the time we went inside. We were told to stand in 3 different areas being VIP. Once inside the floors were sticky. You had hours to prepare for this show, why are your floors not clean? Im sorry but it was a horrible experience for me. I think better organization could help the next time. Sadly I wont be going back to find out.

Mediocre rating because the openers do NOT reflect whos actually playing... crowd killer forsure. other than that its a great venue

If you’re going here to listen to music and have a great time you’re going to the right place! It is a super cute, small town venue and that means it’s not that big. But it’s really unique and great for a cool edm show. We went on Halloween so it was even more crowded than other nights, but that made it even cooler! So many people there loving the music and the bar lines weren’t that bad either. I’ve waited longer at other places. Would definitely come again, maybe get VIP for the seating, because our legs were tired at the end. I believe you can arrive any time listed on your event ticket and entry is allowed. Some venues don’t allow you in after a certain time but this was great. We didn’t wait in a line at all at 9:45pm for a show that started at 8.

This place plays awesome music. It’s just obnoxiously crowded to the point where it takes 15-20 minutes just to get one drink. They have a whole second floor, but they refuse to open it unless you get bottle service. Which is understandable, but if your first floor is so crowded to the point you can’t even move, open the second story up!!! Not only will you give us patrons more space, you’ll be able to sell MORE drinks at the upstairs bar. And they also kick everyone out 15 minutes before closing.My group stayed for about 5 minutes till we decided it was just too crowded to even dance and have a good time.

Great show at a good place. Wish we had gotten there earlier to get a better spot.

Really cool place with great sound. Not very big, but its a fun place. Beer is cheap and the service is fast. Lots of good TX artists perform here.I couldnt find a hotel within walking distance though. There is a bed and breakfast nearby, but there aint no way Im staying at one of those! :)

The Marc is the best bar in San Marcos. They have cheap drinks, welcoming staff and a fantastic venue. They host the best performers in San Marcos and have great shows year round. If you go to The Marc, youre guaranteed to have a fun time.

Good venue with a great sound system, good shows. That being said, the rudest and most unprofessional staff of any venue Ive ever been to. Every time Ive been here has been a disaster of additional cover charges on top of the ticket price, and bartenders, bouncers, and administration that treats all of its customers like dirt.

My favorite concert venue in Texas. Laid back security, good ppl and great music. Gets kinda packed but what do you expect when like 90% of the shows there are sold out!

Visiting place organised by university San Marcos Ted x people, very unfriendly people for no reason we were kicked out of the place it was obvious that there was a brake on the Ted x talk. Not to mentioned dress code that was posted on the site. Try to avoid university San Marcos Ted x independed shows they will be run by sloppy and not friendly people

Other than the girl at the front (inside counter) having a stank ass attitude, it was an enjoyable show. If it weren’t for her insistently negative energy and eye rolls, it would have been 5 stars.

Disgusting violations against ADA and cruel ableist behavior.

This isnt a big place but on the inside they make it feel very roomy and atmospheric. I saw Marshmellow preform live here and he absolutely killed it, the full light show and visuals were there and all worked flawlessly inside the Marc. Great experience, cant wait to see more live shows here!!

This is one of the best venues in South Texas for EDM. Ive seen many great shows here and I love driving up here from SA. In fact will be coming back in February for a bad ass show. Love it!

Beto was champagning. I had voted that day and eanted to meet him

The DJs they get to play at this club on the regular amazes me. Really great music, in a cool small city downtown location.

1 star only because I cant go lower. When our tickets say an 8pm showtime, and the customer calls to confirm, making people wait on the exhaust-filled sidewalk until 8:50pm and having half the club closed off seems a little less than customer service-oriented. Oh yeah, and the guy who answered the phone was none too keen to provide an intelligent answer to the question of when the club opened tonight. Not a pleasant experience for those outside of the college town crowd! Duly noted.Have to add: the staff here should not only be aware of their clubs rules, but apply them uniformly throughout the venue. Telling one patron they are doing something not allowed while permitting the same behavior 10 feet away is unprofessional and flat out rude.

Cool place to hang out

The staff at this venue has a collected intelligence of a bucket. Very rude and unprofessional ufc wanna be boys. Love the venus for shows it very personal cause its small

Had a great time when I went for my 21st. Almost got in a fight. Got free shots and a shout out in the club.

Good spot for shows.My only gripe is when it is sold out, it gets a little too packed.

Every show Ive gone to here the staff is super unorganized like they just woke up and went to place with no idea what is going on. Ive gone to the location multiple times and everytime someone is trying to get in because they know someone . The place overall is OK but the staff could be better.

If you dont like being in a crowd, DO NOT go on saturdays!! Lol that place gets JAM packed!! Lol but its still a nice place with an upstairs inside balcony area. And the music is always new and fun

Got a VIP table at a Yellow Claw rave, we only saw our bottle girl one other time after our first round. You cant smoke, so you have to go outside.. and not just out a side exit.. like back out the front where you showed your ticket. After I went out twice during the show to smoke, I was told I would not be let back in if I went out again. They opened the VIP section up to GA after a couple hours anyway. Expensive asf too! Over $1200 with 3 vodka bottles and a few redbulls... DO NOT buy a table here! Would have rated a 1 but the view is ok. F**k this place, just buy GA

Very rude staff

We just came for a Texas Music Scene taping, enjoyed it.

Very nice fun place to go had a lot of fun

Great atmosphere good bar tender service

This is a club / bar in a college town and should be reviewed as one. A place where you go to turn up. If you enjoy getting rowdy, taking shots and dancing like a fool then this is the place to go. This isnt the greatest music venue in the world, as far as music venues go Id say its average. 2.5/5 stars for anything other than electronic music. For EDM Id give it a 3.5/5 because of the sound system. As a CLUB though, definitely 4/5.I always see some white girl thats had one too many four lokos before she came out wasted off her ass twerking on the floor trying to grab her 15 seconds of fame. One time this black girl with a booty so out of this world tried grinding on me, I had no clue what to do other than prey she didnt knock my ass over. I mean Im white. I dance like a white boy you know what Im saying? I can do a little bit of the C-walk but sometimes it turns into a little 2 stepping action. To this day Im convinced that had I been able to tame that beast of a booty she could have turned me out. Id be in the church next Sunday singing gospel songs with her, we could of had a future! Call me.If you want drinks dont go to the top bar or the bar to the right of the stairs. Go to the left bar at the bottom, its always got the shortest lines by far.In conclusion this is a college club / bar and should be treated as one. They have a stage and sometimes host live shows but it probably wont be the best live experience youve ever had. If youre going out with a group of friends to turn up though, theres a reason this place has long ass lines, and its not because it sucks.

Very nice place, but could definitely be improved!

TUESDAY NIGHT ARE THE BEST NIGHTS HERE !! 1 DOLLAR TEQUILA SHOTS !!

Awesome venue. Nice staff.

This is the worst venue Ive ever been to. Ive been to the Marc on two occasions. only reason I came back the second time was because Rich Homie Quan was headlining. So I show up at 9 and the door man was completely unresponsive. He didnt ask for my tickets, ID or anything he just stood there in front of the door. So I stuck both out at the same time not knowing what he wanted and he simply said hands so I turned my palm face down and he drew two xs on both of my hands to show I was under 21. Okay nothing too out of the ordinary yet, right? Wrong. I walk past the door man and continue on to the front desk where a guy tells me its a 5 dollar cover for minors (Im 19) I explain to him Im not a minor, and regardless, there was no cover charge on the flyer for the event. I will attach a picture of the official flyer if I can or you can google it, Rich Homie Quan The Marc Apr. 1st 2016. He says no its a 5 dollar cover its been on the flyer since we made them. He says this with a very rude tone. At this point Im tired of arguing with him because Ive got a show to get to, and 5 dollars to me is really nothing but this guy is probably just pocketing the cover because hes obviously a broke-a$& college student or more than likely a college dropout who never left San Marcos. I hand him a small wad of one dollar bills I had in my pocket to cover my girlfriend and I. I turn around and there is a female wearing normal clothes with her hand in her pockets who tells me tickets ( its all one word sentences with these people) . So my girlfriend gets the tickets off the app she has on her phone and hands it to the girl who glanced over both of our two tickets but didnt scan anything, just looked. I could have handed her the tickets from the show we went to previously a few months back and Im 99 percent sure we would have made it in just fine. So Im finally done dealing with the front door cretins/panhandler and we walk down the stairs toward the stage. A DJ is on stage playing a variety of rap songs off his computer. Okay I thought, we are waiting on more people to show up or something. Literally from 9pm to about 11:30, yes people, 2 and a half hours goes by and this DJ is still up there playing songs off his computer and talking over the music annoyingly like Hip Hop Djs do. Then Some no name 2-man rap group called Yung Nation finally come through the black curtain at the back of the stage. Finally something to soothe the boredom, or so I thought! They begin playing their songs that are sub-par to say the least. Oh, and one of the guys mics was so fuzzy and distorted you absolutely could not make out what he was saying. This went on for 30 mins until someone finally has the sense to say hey, the sound isnt right lets fix it. So they get off stage and the sound guys are trying to fix the problem, and everyone rushes outside to go smoke a cigarette, myself included. I also made a point to walk to Jack in the box where my car was parked to check on it make sure it didnt get towed, because the only parking by the Marc is 2 hour parking only. So Im walking to the car with my girlfriend to check on it and Im gone maybe 15 mins. We walk back and there is a long line of people waiting to re-enter the venue, I presume. I assume position at the back of the line and 10 minutes passes until we get to the door. They are putting wristbands on people for reason other than to try to keep track of who is all there halfway through the show.We get to the front and he asks to see our ID again. We show him and he says, under 21 Cant come in. excuse me? I paid for the VIP tickets and their bullsh!t cover and they dont even let us in? The door man said RHQ didnt even show up. I check twitter after were rejected at the door and nobody said anything about RHQ not showing up until 7pm that same day, 2 hours before the show. unprofessional, unorganized, rude, opportunistic, and a downright disgusting place. Do not come here for anything, I warned you. Stay at home and go on YouTube or something

Can be fun, usually too crowded for my taste.

All the 5 star ratings are fake, they said theyd give out free tickets if you give them 5 stars! If they didnt do that everyone would practically rate it 1 star because thats what they deserve. My boyfriend and I have been a couple times. The first time was for Rich Homie Quan, but none of the staff bothered to mention that he had cancelled. They didnt even say anything on Twitter etc.. My boyfriend ended up having to pay and extra 10$ for the stupid cover charge for no reason! We seriously wasted 4 hours, all because they failed to get out the word of a cancellation. The event host also didnt say anything except in an email about 30 minutes before the show would have started! We then went the following day for Hucci because we had already bought the tickets. Again with the stupid cover charge for anyone under21. I dont understand why they charge extra after already purchasing the tickets. We told the guy we had no cash and he was telling us sorry youll have to pay, bullshit I wasnt about to pay again for no reason. But, DJ Gamma told us to go ahead. Finally someone nice at The Marc for a change.i had a decent time at hucci only because Hucci is my favorite trap artist. If youre planning to waste money then go here, but if not then dont even spend a dime. Go to Vulcan Gas Company in Austin or just any other venue.

Got tickets for an 8:30 show. Waited outside for over an hour with zero communication from the staff, this is one of the most unorganized venues Ive ever come across.

DIDNT LET 21 OR UNDER IN AFTER 12. Wouldve been nice to know since I bought a $30 ticket for nothing!

This place is alway popping off on fridays.

Okay music venue

Too small. Everyone comes out drenched in sweat from the elbow to elbow crowds.

Staff is horrible & drinks are not very good but they do have good performances there every so often.

This place was ok until I came back on the same night and a different guy working the door some big guy tall threaten me that he was going to fight me because I had told him that I was already in there Im there every Tuesday and my friends were still in there he said he wouldnt let me in because of my tattoos I had told the guy that Im always in there and he is the first person that has ever told me that he was very rude very unprofessional and they should really think about getting that guy out of there

Had a great time

Dollar Dos. Enough said.

Amazing fun for all!

Great venue great shows!

Great venue!

Drinks are over priced but it does have good music and great atmosphere

They add $10.01 to every single ticket sale for no reason with no warning until checkout. Disrespectful to the artists and the fans!

The best place to go on a Tuesday !! best drink specials !!

Skip it until they remodel or replace the sound

Nothing, waited in line for hours, no one directed lines, rude staff.
