Storyline:
She pours the drinks... Now she’s raising a fight.
Marcie’s follows Marcie, a fiercely loyal, big-hearted bartender who’s spent years holding together the community around Ed’s Tavern, a cozy local institution nestled next to a patch of untouched forest.
Her dream? One day to own the place herself.
But when a slick developer targets the land for commercial expansion, threatening to demolish the tavern and replace it with chain stores, Marcie refuses to back down. As she organizes petitions, town hall speeches, and heartfelt protests, she discovers a surprising ally: a rare, endangered bird whose nesting grounds lie on the tavern’s adjacent property.
With grit, humor, and the full force of a tight-knit, oddball town behind her, Marcie becomes the heart of a grassroots movement—fighting not just for a bar, but for what it means to belong.

If you love community-focused stories where one person stands up for something bigger, Marcie’s fits right alongside:
Erin Brockovich (2000) – One woman vs. corporate power.
The Station Agent (2003) – Small-town solitude, found family.
The Full Monty (1997) – Working-class charm and resistance.
💡 Like these, Marcie’s is equal parts humor, heart, and hope, a reminder that the strongest people often come from the smallest places.
📌 Final Thoughts
With a resilient heroine, a quirky ensemble of lovable locals, and a surprisingly feathery twist of fate, Marcie’s is a joyful, character-driven dramedy that proves you don’t need to own a building to hold up a community—but it sure helps if you fight like hell to keep it.
One tavern... One town.
And one little bird that might just save them all.
