A really big bar area with plenty of seating options. I also enjoy going here to watch live music. They usually draw a good crowd. Depending on the band there might be a cover. You may want to turn your hearing aides off when going though, they have the music pretty loud at times. They also have a nice patio area to enjoy on nice summer days.
Review Source:I have never been to such an awful bar. I went with some friends to go see the Johnny Holm Band, who I really like, and what I encountered at McKracken's was by far the rudest crowd of people and staff that I have ever experienced.
Also, for several reasons, I am fairly certain that they did not even put any liquor in our drinks. We were also charged different prices for the exact same drinks by different staff. I was simply appalled by the behavior of the patrons and staff and could not believe that they actually give people drinks without alcohol in them.
We tried to stick it out for awhile because we liked the band, but we couldn't even get a buzz off several drinks and were being physically bullied by wait staff and patrons while we were standing at the back of the dance floor just trying to listen to and enjoy the band.
Plus, when we tried to leave, the parking lot was so crowded that people just decided to park in a way that blocked other people in. Several drivers had to just wait or go back inside because they could not physically maneuver out of their parking spots. I myself had to climb in through the passenger door and barely managed getting out in my tiny, compact car. The place was a zoo.
I will, quite simply NEVER go back to this place.
I was surprised this place was as busy is it was for being on the cursed hwy 13. I have some co-workers that like coming out here occasionally so I decided to stop in one night.
They play live music on some nights so there may be an entrance fee. This is a pretty basic not so fancy, but laid back joint. They have a dance floor and some pool tables. What I like the most about this place was the food. They've got some pretty good wings and the Patrick's Pig Wings were especially awesome. Our server was quick and friendly and we enjoyed ourselves.
