Unfortunately we went on a trivia night and got set directly in front of the speakers. We had 5 so moving back away was not an option as no larger tables were available

Arrived during happy hour. Good deals and a good vibe. The food came out quickly and did not disappoint. This place is what a neighborhood Irish Pub is meant to be. Definitely worth a try.

My partner and I have been loyal patrons of McNalara’s for years. However that will end, thanks solely to an encounter with their manager tonight, Matty. After we were rudely accosted by neighboring diners with a cursed laced tirade about how we were being too loud, we were asked to relay this experience to the manager. From the moment I spoke with Matty, he made clear he had zero interest in my perspective and said directly “I really don’t care about what you have to say.” I’ve never known a restaurant to not care about the opinions or experience of loyal patrons (roughly once a week for years) but I’ve found it in Matty. Very sad I will have to no longer patronize a spot with otherwise great staff, but I cannot support a restaurant employing someone so rude and uncaring about the experience of guests.

Understaffed and just plain rude. We seated outside to watch a football game on Sunday afternoon. That part was perfect. However, somebody had a remote and kept changing the channel so we couldn’t watch the game. I went to the bar to explain what was happening as I could tell the TV behind the bar had the same screen. The bartender cut me off mid sentence, saying, “I’ve got it” in a very rude voice. Then the man who seated us, started yelling at me for standing in the waitress station. (I’ve been there for about eight seconds.)
Nobody wants to be treated this way. We won’t be back.

Booked a reservation for after the marathon and I picked the right place! After spending the summer in Ireland, the food we ordered were PERFECT! Beef stew, fish and chips, bangars and mash, and potato leek soup. MUST try their Pumpkin Spice White Russians! I wish I could take one back with me to Texas! ? Everything was what we wanted!
