Description
As soon as you see the glass cases that flank the walls, you realize Marlena's is a place that loves it some kitsch: a rotating cast of figurines, which change with the season, is on display in the cases. During the summer, you might think you wandered into a Disney Store. In the fall and close to Halloween, Harry Potter collectibles take over. At Christmas, more than 1,200 Santas fill the bar. When it's time for the Mr. Hayes Valley leather competition, scepters, news clippings, tiaras, and other drag-queen memorabilia gussy up the place. Active in the community with their own softball and pool teams and having hosted Mr. Hayes Valley for 10 years, Marlena's is a straight-friendly neighborhood gay bar, a sass-free, mellow option for the veteran drag queen and down-to-earth Hayes Valley resident alike.
