Six weeks ago, we closed our doors to protect the health of our team, and the community. And today, we have reached the very difficult decision that we will not reopen. Please read our message to the community here: marvelbar.com

New n/a beer alert!

A no-recipe guide to shelter-in-place drinking, from our houses to yours. We’re starting with our Head Bartender, Matthew Voss, who’s drinking Manharrans. Kind of.

If you're looking for an n/a option at home, here's our simplest suggestion: 5ml pickle brine 40 ml lime juice 20 ml simple syrup Build over a stack of the biggest ice you've got, and top with equal parts ginger beer and seltzer water. Give her a spin. Cheers—you deserve it.

100% of the proceeds from @askovfinlayson's special edition #NorthernHospitality tees will support @bachelorfarmer's partnership with @2harvest. Please join us in serving those who serve us during this extraordinary time. askovfinlayson.com/northernh…

A message to the Marvel Bar Community:

How do you build a cocktail without alcohol? And how do you do it without ending up with a glass of juice? We've learned a lot these past few months, and we're ready to share with you! eventbrite.com/e/the-un-cock…

Proud as ever to have a spot on this list. Thank you, @EaterTwinCities! twincities.eater.com/maps/be…

We went through a bit of separation anxiety when we hid away 400 bottles of alcohol this January to properly dive into our Dry exploration. But a clear back bar has grown on us a bit. Should we keep them hidden?

"We're trying to make sure that people can just look at a menu and order the thing that they want and not be judged for it." Not drinking in bars: so 2020. Hear the full recording of our panel, here: soundcloud.com/northfirst/go…

Here’s to more middle ground.

Strawberry, lime, and rice vinegar topped with non-alcoholic beer. If that's not laid-back enough for you, you've got the option to add CBD. The Paddleboat. Get on board.

Thanks for joining us last week at Going Dry. If you missed our conversation on changing norms around drinking (and not drinking), you can listen to the full recording, below. soundcloud.com/northfirst/go…

Visuals are meaningful! It’s a way to not feel separate or other for this choice.

We used the word “dry” at Marvel quite purposefully. We didn’t want to use alcohol to describe what we were doing without it. Language is powerful, and we’re still figuring out the right way to communicate in a welcoming way as an industry. #GoingDry

How to price nonalcoholic drinks? Establishments balance perception, costs, and labor—nonalcoholic drinks put the work in the bar’s hands instead of the distiller. #GoingDry

How does a nonalcoholic drink inspire the same feelings as something with alcohol? What is it we’re chasing in a Negroni, for example, that we want to duplicate with a ‘Nogroni’? #GoingDry

How do we extend the conversation beyond places like ours? Maybe there’s money to be made in this category. Maybe the market can be the ultimate way to drive change. #GoingDry
