Mac's American Pub

I was here in November and the bartender assaulted my friend and me when we asked to finish our beer at 1.45.  When he refused, he threw me out on the concrete resulting in a concussion and a bloody skull.

Suffice to say, I won't be back.

I guess you either love it, or you hate it. This place has a decent beer selection and a few TVs. I've never eaten here, but I don't really want to. This place is missing some point of attraction. I guess this is one of those bars where you would go if you're the character in a movie that needs to grab a drink alone and wait for the bartender to ask,  "Haven't you had enough?"

I used to live down the street from this place, and my fiance and I were absolute regulars. It's so understated yet so wonderful and the service is always stellar.

FOOD:
Good Lord, this place is good. When I'm feeling like something light, the Mac's Chicken Salad is to die for. I don't know how they do it. Same goes for the Steak Salad - both salads give you a generous helping of meat on top of some seriously delicious salad complete with nuts, cheese, and fruit.
When I'm feeling like something heavier, they have a DELICIOUS burger (that is really a heart attack on a plate). It's covered in smoked gouda and bacon. So rich and delicious.

SERVICE:
Wonderful. Everyone here is so friendly, but not in a way that is overly done or fake. One time, I was locked out of my apartment, so I walked into Mac's to sit at the bar while I waited for my fiance to get home. Yuri, the bartender, was very nice and made waiting an enjoyable experience. By the time my fiance got home, he just met me at Mac's and we had dinner and drinks there because I was so happy! What a way to turn around what could have been a really crappy evening.

DECOR:
It's pretty plain inside. High tables, huge comfy booths, and interesting lighting. There are TVs view-able from every angle. Plain but still classy. Honestly, I'm happy for the decor -- I think it's keeping some of the more pretentious yuppies away, which means I can get seated much faster!

DRINKS:
They have a decent number of beers on tap. We're always happy with the selection. They do occasionally run out of things, but they are always generous about giving you more beer to make it up to you.
