Local Sports Bar Finds New Owner After Decades of Service
A beloved fixture in Grosse Pointe Park's community, Marge's Bar has undergone a change with the arrival of its new owner. Charlie Brown, a native son and restaurateur, has taken over the reins of this iconic sports bar, which has been serving up good times since 1966.
The brainchild of Marguerite "Marge" DePuys, who passed away in 2014, the bar was purchased from her son Jimmy last month. Brown's ownership marks a new chapter for Marge's Bar, but he is committed to preserving its nostalgic charm while injecting some modern flair.
"This place has history, heart, and stories in every corner," Brown notes. "I'm just thrilled to be a part of its next chapter." For Brown, who also owns wine bar Cellar313, Marge's Bar represents a return to his roots – he grew up in Grosse Pointe Park and always considered the bar an integral part of the community.
Marge's Bar is renowned for its hockey memorabilia, which adorns the walls of this unassuming yet endearing sports bar. With 15300 Mack Ave as its address, it has been a gathering spot for locals to share in their love of sports, socialize with friends, and indulge in familiar comfort food.
As Brown takes the helm, he aims to balance tradition with innovation. His goal is to maintain the Marge's Bar experience that patrons have come to cherish while introducing some new updates to keep the spirit alive. The bar's legacy will undoubtedly continue under his stewardship, as he vows to honor its rich history and make it an even more beloved fixture in Grosse Pointe Park's community.

Grosse Pointe Park's gonna be just fine with him at the helm! 15300 Mack Ave, still my spot for a good time 
they already got hockey memorabilia on walls, wut more changes do we need? 
imo, its gonna be hard for him to fill her shoes

. Can't wait to see what updates he has in store...and I'm sure Jimmy DePuys is gonna be stoked too 
i'm torn - on one hand, it's awesome that someone who grew up in the area is taking over; on the other hand, what if he changes everything too much? 
maybe brown can strike a good balance between tradition and innovation, but we'll just have to wait and see... 
. Another sports bar gets a new owner and suddenly everyone's like "oh, it's so iconic" 
. I swear, the only thing they'll change is the price of a pint of beer
