McGees Annex

Average price drinks, mix crowd and decent bartenders. Some live music, pool tables, good amount of seating, decent selection of beers & liquor... night time music a little loud for conversations.

It's one thing to wait for a drink when it's busy but when the bartender is just talking to her friend, not ok.  I waited 5 minutes then left.

I'm giving the place 2 Stars with an asterisk:  If you live here and don't ever travel off the hill, you've only got a few options so if you apply the "Nevada City Handicap" to McGee's, I guess it would get "Four Stars".   On weekends, McGee's can get crazy-packed with both locals & tourists, not necessarily a bad thing, however that can mean waiting a hell of long time to get a drink. Depending on the DJ, it can be hit & miss, the music sometimes gets cranked to where no one can hear you talk, i.e. your drink order, etc.  You'll see all walks of life there including the four C's of Nevada County (Cougars, Clampers, Cannabis & Cops) so I don't think dress code has ever been an issue.  There's a cover charge because your other choices are Coopers or the Mine Shaft.
