MarBar gets a little furrier

Marathon Grill owner Cary Borish, manager Nick Maldonado and contractor Mike Parsell collab'd to convert MarBar, above Marathon's 40th and Walnut restaurant (200 S. 40th St., 215-222-0100), into Panda Bar. a live music venue with food and drink. OMGZ PANDAS!! So loveable!

Sorry. Maldonado tells Meal Ticket they're updated the interior to feature"mafioso-type" high-back booths, among other aesthetic tweaks. Mostly American craft beers on tap, with one or two Belgians; though the menu's not finalized just yet, expect shareable snacks like pierogies and pork or kobe sliders. The 3,500-square-foot space, which has room for about 350, will have its grand opening this Saturday, June 20, with performances from Akilles and Patty Crash; there are near-future plans for open mic nights, karaoke and possibly comedy nights.
