Mario S Fishbowl In West Virginia Is A Family Friendly Bar

You may have heard of putting a model ship into a beer bottle (or maybe in one of its larger, clearer bottle cousins), but have you ever heard of drinking beer from a fishbowl? You have if you live in West Virginia!

Welcome to the original Mario’s Fishbowl on Richwood Avenue in Morgantown, a local favorite bar and grill for over 70 years.

What kind of restaurant earns the moniker “Fishbowl”? One that serves its beer in aquarium-sized goblets.

These drinking goblets are so huge that the restaurant brags about serving the “biggest, coldest beer in town,” and we believe it!
