👍👍 Great food, drinks and entertainment! The Pines, The Pennsoulvanians, Abstensious and On the Run were just a few of the great bands we got to see. People often mention good,

    Super good if you’re unsure of seafood in the beginning of April we got mussels sautéed with blue bay it was amazingly tasty and fresh not too big of a stomachs on those (it’s just my preference to not have mussels or clams with big black pouches of intestines stuff) so that’s my measure stick kind of like rest of mussels/clam vs stomach black content, if there’s a lot of big stomach compared to rest of its body I’m like nah…”. Anyway, they all had small stomachs or small black pouches compared to their total body size, so I was happy (black pouches 25-35% of total body size). We got sword fish which was delicious, and rib eye medium rare…so good with generous portions for all to share! Highly recommend this place for all in the beginning of April when we tried this place!

    I’ve ordered from here about 5-6 times. While the food has been good and tasty, the last two times my order is totally wrong. This time I ordered hot wings and received plain wings that were dry and chewy. Loaded tots with a description of “1 lb of tots with cheese bacon” ended up being a order of fries that were cold and soggy or tooth breaking crunchy. The burgers are amazing but I despise onions and can no longer order them because even though I ask for no onions they add mounds of them anyway. I was so happy to have found this place in the summer but sadly for me, order accuracy just ruins it.

    We love this place! It is just the perfect size to be able to feel like you're mingling with the stars! Great food, drinks, prices, and entertainment! Hell I even got to have a quick conversation with the lead singer of one of my favorite bands!

    Definitely a fun time, they have live bands almost every weekend and it's a fun environment.

    I'm always happy to hear my boyfriend's band will be playing there. We went again last night, as always the staff is cool & the atmosphere is great. It's a fun, chill place to hang out & see live music. One of my faves.

    Went for a comedy show. Staff there is always accommodating and helpful. Drinks good and food good. Reasonably priced too.

    Well, I have heard that their wings are the best but now I know it! Great spot for dinner, music and beer.

    We came in for a couple drinks and ended up staying til closing time because we were enjoying the band so much. The ladies room was a little suspect, but we got great service and had a blast. We didn't get food, but the food we saw others getting looked really good.

    Awesome atmosphere, great bands, clean bathrooms WITH well stocked tp, soap, and paper towels. The bartender was friendly, quick, and happy.

    I went to McGarveys for the first time on Friday, the thirteenth, to see the play, Rope. It was a fun evening with family, good food and excellent entertainers. Only negative issue-no martinis or margarettas. I like to get one or the other when I go out for something special. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere; wonderful staff and great food. I recommend McGarveys for an addition to your "go to" places.

🫤 Went on a Saturday night around 11pm and the place was dead. Ordered cheese curds that were very small and not at all what cheese curds should be. Saw a mouse running across the ceiling rafters. Grossed me out to say the least. Service was good overall. Was nearby for a trip and don't ever plan visi...
