Mccabes

McCabe’s is a nice place. They have a great rooftop patio. I decided to come here to enjoy some $ 5 pints and $ 6 a pound wings. The wings decent size for the price and its a great atmosphere. I’ve been here a couple times and I find it nice.

Great draft selection however I find the service is a bit. Bad. $ 5 pints Sunday and Monday check it out.

McCabes is another one of those places that I’ll go to with friends, but I’d never choose to go there myself. I work nearby so we go quite often.
Their food is mostly decent, nothing special, but it can be hit and miss. Their burgers, chicken fingers, and sweet potatoes fries are usually pretty good, but we’ve gotten other dishes that are disappointing. We also occasionally get food that’s pretty badly butchered (like a half a cup of salt piled in a plate of fries), which worries me because it shows a lack of quality control.
Service is nothing special either. We usually end up waiting quite awhile for food, drinks, or bills. Servers usually seem disinterested.
It’s quite busy at night, usually fairly loud and standing-​room only.
Patio is nice in the summer.
Overall, I give this place a big, solid «meh».

I’ve visited this bar a couple times. Great for groups and watching sports. Servers were prompt and courteous. The rooftop patio is quite nice. Sure, the view from the rooftop is just some dirty back alleys, but a lot of interesting things happen in back alleys because people think they aren’t being watched. Grab a front row seat to the classiest drug deals, alley pissing, and drunken stumbling London has to offer.

McCabe’s is one of those places that I don’t gush about, but I dont hate it either. It’s in this weird limbo.
Whenever we attend, I find it is always busy which is a good thing, but getting a table for a large group (like a sports team) is almost impossible.
The menu is HUGE. I mean HUGE. They sell everything from butter chicken to pizza and pasta, to a whole page of burgers. I wouldn’t say its true Irish fair. more like a worldwide buffet. And everything that I’ve had has been okay, nothing overly mind blowing.
I would say, when it comes to drinks, they do it right. They have half price bottles of wine on Wednesdays. I like their bar area as I find there is enough room to stand around without crowding people sitting. They have live music some nights as well. The rooftop patio was packed the last time I went in the summertime but it looked really nice.
I guess I wouldn’t choose McCabe’s as a spot to eat but I would choose this pub as a spot to grab a drink with friends (just get there early).

Mccabes presents itself as an «Irish» pub. However the problem with the atmosphere and food is its trying to be too much for too many people. They really have an assortment of food options but they don’t do anything really well. The burgers were very good when it first opened however the quality more recently has begun to slide. They do have a good selection of beer on tap and a nice bar and pub like atmosphere, at times. Typically at a pub, you sit down at the bar or even a table and enjoy some drinks. However, Mccabes turns things into a night club on weekends and wants patrons at the bar to give up their seats so that bar crawlers can stream through. The music generally doesn’t fit a pub like atmosphere, again, it’s like they haven’t established their own identity yet. The place, in my opinion, loses stars for trying to be everything. They should just stick with the Irish pub thing and do it really well, so basically English pub food and atmosphere with it. Don’t turn your pub into a night club on weekends and ask your regulars to give up their seats. It’s worth checking out, but until they establish some type of distinctive identity, I won’t be going back.
