McIntyre's Pub

McIntyre's is a great venue, period.  Whether you're going to watch a sporting event, see a little live music, or just hang out for a few drinks and a snack, it's probably the best place in town to do so, even if it doesn't look like it from the outside.  

When you pull into the gigantic parking lot of the somewhat hidden strip mall in which it's housed, you might be forgiven for thinking you are in the wrong place.  Enter through the aluminum framed, glass door that looks like it would be more at home at the entrance to a convenience store, and you are met with a considerably larger space than expected.  In the front room, there are pool tables, a ton of televisions, booths, and one of the largest bars I've ever laid eyes on outside of a resort.  Make your way through to the back room, a sizeable but still cozy space, and that's where the music happens.  

It's not luxurious, but it isn't exactly divey, either.  They offer a wide selection of draft beer, some tasty bar food, and a diverse crowd to socialize with (if you go in for that kind of thing).  Unlike a lot of places this size, I have yet to ever see anyone start any static here.  It has a surprisingly chill vibe, considering all the meathead-types that tend to flock to this region during the summer season.  Definitely a cool place to hang out.

Went for a couple of drinks and ESPN. The bar is huge, that's a big plus. The food looked good, but I wasn't hungry. The beers weren't expensive at all. There were TVs all over the place, they had music on, but it was intermingled with hip-hop. Why why why? Nevertheless I had a good time and may return soon.

Great place for live music, especially every other Monday night.  Theres a really great cover band playing bluesy tracks. Fantastic!  One of the beat cover bands I've ever heard. Oh yeah, I'm not a local. I'm in town for just a few weeks.
