McKay's Taphouse & Beer Garden is a unique spot with a lively atmosphere and is a trusty neighborhood destination. The beer selection is impressive, with a rotating tap of IPAs, sour beer, and other varieties like the fantastic Chocolate Milk Stout. The outdoor patio is a highlight, featuring live music, heaters, and picnic benches in a beautiful, intimate, and well-kept garden. It offers many seating options, making it a great place to hang out with family and friends. The open seating area in the back has a large bar and plenty of options for snacking and sipping. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and quick with service, especially during busy times. The BBQ Pulled Pork Flatbread and Meat Candy are outstanding, though the Chicken Wings could use more spices. The ambiance is relaxed and chill, creating a welcoming backyard vibe that ensures all feel at home. However, food service can be slower when the restaurant is busy. Overall, McKay's is a great spot to enjoy a cold beer with good people and pets.
