I love hanging out at McLaren’s, been here at least a dozen times. Great vibes, lots of pool tables and great beer selection. But one of the best things is the staff - the servers and bartenders are always super friendly, skilled multitaskers and always giving great service. I’ll keep coming

Our server was great but the rest of the team wasn't helpful. Repeated requests to turn on the Sens game were ignored. Blue 34 jerseys on the wall. Forgotten Red Mile already? Do better.

I wish I could leave a 0 zero star, wicked staff who treat and discriminate customer, worst place to be ever. Especially Jamie very rude and arrogant.

I had a terrible experience when I visited with my family. I met a guy who claim to be the manager( Jamie) he was rude, very disrespectful and was even discriminating against a black customer which left some of his teammates amazed. Never going back there and don’t take your family to that place.

One of the highlights is the option to play pool while enjoying a great variety of drinks. The staff is friendly, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place.Now, let's talk about the food - delicious and satisfying. The menu offers a good variety of options, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you're craving a hearty meal or just some tasty snacks to accompany your drinks, McLaren delivers.Overall, McLaren is a fantastic choice for those looking for a good time with friends. Great drinks, friendly staff, and delicious food - what more could you ask for?

The atmosphere of the place was very nice. Our server was great as well, however when we first entered, we were not told the procedures of the place and had to wait around for someone to notice us.The food was meh, nothing interesting or well made just border line average.

It’s a good establishment, but the bartenders at the bar are a little (inattentive)... You stand and wait, and he walks in circles...
