Seven Minutes in Heaven Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

sjbraden: Sadly, Marfreless was forced to close down after 40 years of serving the Houston area. Thus, I am taking down the cache. Mere words cannot describe the friendships and experiences I have gained thanks to Marfreless. I'll miss you.

Geocache Description:

This is a P&G in the River Oaks area, plenty of parking. It's in a well-lit area and is great for night caching.

This cache is placed on the outside of Marfreless, one of River Oak's little secrets. For those who know about it, Marfreless has a reputation as being the "make out" bar, as the establishment is dimly lit and has several couches for couples to get to know each other better *wink wink*. Hence the name of this cache.

Marfreless was originally opened in 1972 on Feagan Street in the Heights, but moved to its current location in 1977. There are no patios, windows, signs, or billboards tipping you off to the existence of this little watering hole. There is merely an unmarked blue door underneath a set of stairs against a giant white brick wall. Unless someone told you about it, you wouldn't even know the place existed. In a sense, Marfreless itself is a geocache. Several celebrities have been known to stop by while in town, including Bruce Campbell from the 'Evil Dead' movies, and the bar has been used as the setting in several films. This place has a lot ot character and it's a great place, and I usually stop by the evenings a couple times per week to drink a delicious Pimm's Cup (one of the few places I know of in Houston that can make the drink). It's also a great place to have a drink before seeing a flick at the River Oaks theater next door. The cache is accessible at all hours of the day, but if you wanted to take a a peep behind the blue door, then you will have to wait until it opens at 5:00 p.m.

There will likely be muggles around, so stealth and patience will be key. Please put the cache back in the same exact location. Good luck!
