Mcgee's Pub - New York

Incredibly delicious food (best French onion soup ever) and a very cozy place

The food was great and the staff was very friendly.

Honest to God it was the best hamburger I ever had in my life. I came because of my love for the How I Met Your Mother television show and was even more pleased from the service of the staff and the hamburger I ate. If I make it back to NYC I will undoubtedly revisit this establishment.

I was staying across the street from McGee’s on a recent trip to Manhattan. I kept admiring the pub from afar and thinking to myself that it looked like the quintessential Irish pub. My family needed takeout for an early dinner for the kids, and I asked the front desk who they recommended. They said they ordered takeout from McGee’s all the time. We checked out the menu and there was something to make everyone happy, even the pickiest of children. We called, ordered, and they had the food ready in fifteen minutes…just as promised. The inside of the pub was just as inviting as the outside and I wish I had more time in the city! Oh, how I wanted to come back in for a drink later! And, yes, they do serve wine because I did ask. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even gave me directions to the nearest store. At any rate, my family ordered the Mac ‘n Cheese, Shepherd’s Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, Chef Salad, and Bangers ‘n Mash. No one was disappointed, kid or adult. I can’t wait to get back there for a night out so that I can have that drink and a sit down meal. Sláinte!

See a lot of mixed reviews here, but I had a great experience . A bit on the expensive side for an Irish pub, but I had the friendliest server and the best damn hamburger I have eaten in a while! I mean, top five! Didn 't know this.... but this bar was apparently THE bar on How I Met Your Mother . Didn 't care for the show, but it was cool to learn that!
