While I don't love it as much as my beloved Narberth McShea's destination, I do love what the much larger bar space gives them the opportunity to do. And as long as that ranges from ample sized open mic nights, quizzo, movie nights, and then some, I'm proud to be a regular.
Much like the Narberth destination the bar offers a solid menu of gastropub classics and a better than decent beer menu. But the huge horseshoe bar, multiple table areas, and overall space gives them more room to focus on the entertainment aspects that the Narb destination can't deliver pn without things getting crowded. While I easily could, I'd doubt I'd go hear to watch a specific sports event. But if I'm looking to unwind with some friends while catching a good bar movie, seeing a random show that includes a bucket of Rolling Rock special (go Tree Rats), or dominating at a night of Quizzo, I can't think of much better in the Main Line. And for that Jack McShea's is solid!
Neil & Co, have done an amazing job continuing the McShea's name in Ardmore. This is what I want when I think of your neighborhood bar. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. They also have an amazing beer selection, for those beer snobs out there. As far as food is concerned, to say they have bar food would be an understatement. This gastro-pub has some of the best food and some I'd never except to order at a bar. Such as duck confit pot pie, The McShea's corn beef sandwhich (my favorite), and their wonderful and constantly changing daily specials. McShea's also hit home for someone looking to pop in for a drink and burger. You really can't go wrong here! Keep up the great job, I know I'll keep coming back!
