I'm giving the place 2 Stars with an asterisk: Â 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". Â 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. Â 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. Â There's a cover charge because your other choices are Coopers or the Mine Shaft.
Review Source:I came here while I was in town over the Thanksgiving break. Not having any Nevada County bar experience under my belt yet I thought I would give it a try. It was completely the local college kids, home for a visit. For me, that was perfect and felt like a high school reunion. Bar was packed but the bartenders were friendly. Dance floor was a little sad, not too many partaking in the booty shaking but it was fun none the less. They were charging a cover, pretty ridiculous but I didn't have to pay it after sweet talking the bouncer. Overall it was a good night but I based that on the fact that I knew half of everyone there.
Review Source:McGee's is a fun bar to go to. They have a small dance area and have a DJ playing all of today's hits. The back of the bar has a pool table and smoking area. The bartenders take care of you and make your drinks well and strong. I wouldn't suggest going here if you want to catch up with an old friend because it's loud in here. There is usually some sort of drama here on the weekends.. fights and stuff, but nothing too serious (that i have seen, plus i think that stuff happens in most bars). Mostly just drunk 20 something year old guys, having too much beer and thinking nothing can touch them. It's really entertaining actually. This is usually the bar i go to in NC if I go out, which isn't too often.
Review Source:Having a prior positive experience, I was looking forward to a return visit. Â Captain Colander and I popped in on a Saturday night. Â BIG mistake! Â YUCK!
Being completely accosted at the door by very loud and crappy music and a sea of poorly dressed hoochie-hill-girls, I should have ran immediately.
Unfortunately, I'm a tad on the stubborn side so I blew some money, and some sanity and stayed for one drink. Â Poor decision. Â Needless to say, a swift escape was made out the back door after promptly downing my vodka.
In short, I think that I would come back to McGees but only before 2 p.m. Â and probably only on a weekday. Â Much after that, and things could get a little dicey.
This place is always super crowded, which is good when you know some of the people there, but not so much when you don't know any of the people. Â
Every time I've been there, the music is super loud - I can barely hear the people I'm with. Â We always end up going to the back just so we can talk. Â But the back is so small that I always feel like I'm in the way.
The bartenders are attentive and very nice. Â Over last year's Thanksgiving weekend, I was charged cover. Â But this last Saturday, I was not charged a cover. Â So, I'm not sure what determines the cover charge. Â The prices aren't bad, and they make their drinks STRONG!
The door to the back patio is left open, so it usually kind of smokey in the back area of the bar.
