Now Open: The Marquee

I finally got over to AMC's newest creation, the Mainstreet Theater and its restaurant, the Marquee Bar and Grill. (As did my colleague Justin over at Plog.)

Although the theater won't open for another two weeks, the Marquee opened at the end of March and has been running a Wednesday hump-day special with half-off burgers and beers.

All three burgers on the menu are 10 ounces: the Pendergast (with cheese) is regularly $10.50, the Swope (bleu cheese and bacon) is $10.75, and the McGee (fried egg, sauteed mushrooms, bacon and cheddar cheese) is $11.50.

Other highlights include a breakfast menu.

It features a classic omelette with ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns

and choice of onions or peppers. There are some surprises, too, like the old-world classic potato latkes

and eggs.

I was also amazed to see a Chicago-style dog, with

the sport peppers, relish, tomatoes and even a poppy seed bun. Yet the dog fails in one important category: It's made not with the traditional Chicago

Vienna Beef dog but with a the New York Nathan's dog.

Even if

you can't make it on Wednesdays, there's a happy hour Monday through

Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. with draft beers half-off and a small menu with

other specials.

The interior is roomy with the highest

ceilings of any bar this side of Union Station. As soon as I receive

official permission to photograph the inside, I'll post pictures and more details about the bar's selection.

The Marquee is located

at 1400 Main; 816-474-4545. It is open from

11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 5 a.m. Friday and

Saturday. Closed on Sundays.
