Five bar and grills, from North Central Avenue taverns to a brewpub in an old ice cream plant, sorted by what you want in your hand.
Of the bars in Marshfield, the five covered here are all bar and grills, so you choose by what you want in your hand at nine o'clock: a pool cue, a house-brewed pint, a basket of cheese curds or a late burger. Five are covered here, from two taverns on North Central Avenue to a brewpub in a former ice cream plant.
Marshfield has fewer bars than it used to. A 2019 WisContext report on the city's vanished rural taverns quotes former mayor and tavern owner Marvin Duerr putting the number of city bars at about 40 in the mid-1980s and about 15 at the time of writing. The same report says Marshfield had several breweries between 1878 and 1967. Today the brewpub on West Ninth Street brews on a 7-barrel system. What follows sorts the five by what each does best, with the hours, parking and recent reviews that decide a night.

Two taverns on North Central Avenue
The Spot Sports Bar & Grill and T-Bone Bar & Grill sit about 0.1 miles apart at 500 and 400 North Central Avenue, so one stroll covers both.
Come for darts or a pool table, and plan around the karaoke nights if you want the room quiet.
T-Bone is the stop for a burger and a stool at the bar rather than a night of games.
Pour Choices, south of downtown
Pour Choices Bar & Grill sits at 114 East 14th Street, about 0.3 miles south of Blue Heron BrewPub. It leans on its kitchen.
Pick it when the group wants a plate rather than a basket, and order the mac the December reviewer likes.
Lumberyard Bar & Grill, on the north edge
Lumberyard Bar & Grill is the sports-bar pick, with eleven beers on tap and twelve televisions.
Woodfield guests have it on the property, and anyone staying elsewhere can compare the hotels in Marshfield before booking.
Blue Heron BrewPub, the one that brews
Blue Heron BrewPub is where this list drinks beer brewed in town, in a former ice cream plant at 108 West Ninth Street.
The pub's site says established 2005, while the regional tour site dates the brewery to 2007 as Central Waters, renamed Blue Heron in 2008, so dates vary by source. The 9:30 PM close comes before the other four shut, which suits Blue Heron to an early dinner and a drink before a later door. It also appears among the restaurants in Marshfield, alongside Lumberyard.
Which bar for which night
Pick The Spot for pool, darts and karaoke, T-Bone for a stool and a burger, Pour Choices for a full plate, Lumberyard for a game with eleven taps in front of you and Blue Heron for beer brewed in town. The Spot and T-Bone are about 0.1 miles apart and Blue Heron and Pour Choices about 0.3 miles, so each pair is easy to combine, while Lumberyard is a separate trip up North Central Avenue.
Sunday narrows the field. Blue Heron is closed Sunday and Monday, Lumberyard's posted hours end at 8 PM on Sunday, and The Spot, T-Bone and Pour Choices all list a 2 AM close. Google gives T-Bone, Pour Choices, Lumberyard and Blue Heron a price range of $10 to $20 and The Spot a range of $1 to $10.
What this list leaves out
This is a short list on purpose, limited to bars with posted hours and recent reviews. It leaves out the acoustic nights at Libby McNeill's, at Hotel Marshfield, 2700 South Central Avenue, where an event page for a Wednesday in June 2026 listed music from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Visit Marshfield's nightlife page, updated in September 2026, lists more of those nights from November into December without a year, so check the date before you plan around one.
Out in the countryside, the 2019 report counts at least 29 rural taverns closed between 1960 and 2016, and says 11 of those buildings became housing. Spend the day on the things to do in Marshfield and pick a door after dark.
Choose by what you want in your hand at nine o'clock, and the five bar and grills answer differently: a cue at The Spot, a stool at T-Bone, a mac at Pour Choices, a curd burger at Lumberyard and a house-brewed pint at Blue Heron.
