The Pub McKinney

Second time here.  First time came in the evening on a weekend and had a very nice lively crowd and atmosphere.  This time I came late afternoon on a Sunday.  Only a handful of patrons.  Very quiet and very dark.  I sat near the window and opened the blinds a bit - no crazy looks from the biker guy sitting at the bar~

Mainly here to drink but wanted a small bit to eat.  Waitress recommended the pommes frite which turned out to be quite delicious.  Thick cut fries fried in peanut oil (my fav for french fries) and served with three sauces: Spicy Mayo, Loaded Baked Potato and a bold ketchup.  Spicy mayo and baked potato were da bomb diggity.  The bold ketchup had way too much worcestershire which was all I could taste.  No worries, they had some Heinz nearby - although I much prefer Hunts any day of the week.  

Decent beer selection.  That day I was craving a Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale but they did not offer this :(  Oh well, can't go wrong with good Belgian Ale.  

Overall, very good.

The food and beer are really good. The service, not so much. Everyone is nice, but really slow. The last two times we've been we've had to go to the bar to get drinks. They have patio seating which is really nice. A fun place to kick back.

Came here for a drink tonight, and were SO impressed!! The atmosphere/crowd/general ambiance was great. Lively, but not too loud. It smelled amazing! Like perfectly cooked burgers...and really good beer. Amazing beer selection. I ordered a glass of Bulleit Bourbon, neat. which...you can't possible screw up. My friend had a Jack and Ginger Ale, which was awesome. Our tab was $10!! SO good. and the service was decent. The menu looked really good, but we already had a dinner commitment across the street at Ruggerio's. I would love to come back and try one of their burgers....or at least just hang on their awesome patio out back...
