Bars in Marathon

White Buffalo Bar is Marathon's low-key local option for a drink after a day in Big Bend country — walk-in only, no booking required, and priced to match a small West Texas town. Don't expect a cocktail program or food menu. Do expect cold drinks, an unpretentious room, and the kind of bar that earns its place simply by being the one that's there. For something more structured, the 12 Gage Restaurant is a short walk away.
