Becoming one of my favorite places to go out to! Normally Chelsey, the bartender, is there but tonight they had a different bartender. A nice elderly woman who was kind and sweet. I started playing music on the juke box/touch tunes and had patrons singing songs they haven't heard in years. Lots of fun playing darts and messing around with the punching bag game. Great service, very well made drinks and the vibe was perfect! I'll be back many times in the near future.

Cash Only which I respect but don't necessarily like. Decent patio with some TVs and an outside bar top. The exterior could use a little upkeep. Umbrellas at tables looked comfortable. Great oval bar inside. I should have checked out the restroom but very uncharacteristically did not have to go...Stools were comfortable and in good condition. It was nice and dark on a Tuesday afternoon at 430. Lots of interesting wall decor. Typical touch tunes system....some dude named Chris was playing some good nusic. Dart setup is 2 electronic boards but no steel tips...which is okay because dart lanes are right inside the front door. They had Pabst in tall cans which would only be better if in long necks. There were a host of regulars that didn't make me feel like I was going to get stabbed. I stayed for 2 beers and will go back.

MacDiggers is the kind of spot you almost don’t want to tell people about—because part of its magic is that it feels like your own secret. Tucked away off the beaten path, this little cash-only gem delivers everything you hope for in a hole-in-the-wall bar: dirt-cheap drinks, a warm atmosphere, and service that makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in.
The bartenders here are genuinely kind, quick with a pour, and even quicker with a smile or a joke. The crowd is relaxed, the music’s never too loud to talk, and the whole place hums with the kind of laid-back, friendly energy that’s hard to find these days. It’s unpretentious, welcoming, and somehow manages to feel both lively and comfortable at the same time.

MacDiggers nails the basics: cold drinks, fair prices, and a vibe that keeps you staying for “just one more.”

The bloody mary was not favorable. They used a nice amount of Vodka but the mixer is very basic and they made no effort to make it their own. The price did reflect the effort, it was cheap

Friday night May2nd, we sat at the bar (2 vacant barstools) we were immediately told by the bartender that we could not sit there. When asked “why?” She told us that they were being Saved. Having worked in the service/bar industry 25+ years, I have never saved barstools on a weekend night, or any other night. We really wanted to go to a neighborhood bar and support our area, and just have a nice Friday night. Not going back there!

Came here on a Saturday night with a couple of friends and had a good time. It’s a very small and cozy bar with reasonably priced drinks. There was a pinball machine and a couple of dart boards for entertainment. They did not accept credit cards.
