Soldier McGee Tavern

In Short – A mostly local crowd of yuppie 30-something professionals and local sports fanatics schmooze before, during and after the game at this lively tavern. With eight 50-inch flat screen TVs, a pool table, dartboard and video boxing game, Soldier McGee is for those who like some entertainment with their booze. There are 20 beers on tap and a menu of snacks and appetizers, so even if you do decide to sit still, you won't be disappointed. – – Hits: While sports fans will enjoy watching the game, the laid-back vibe will appeal to everyone.

I love Soldier McGee

by Spence Here

I love Soldier McGee! I've been there several times and have always left wanting more. It's a great place to watch a game. It's clean and I love the open space. The jukebox is awesome and there is always a great crowd. Try the macaroni and cheese wedges they're a perfect pair to the icy cold draft beer. I don't often find myself on the UWS but when I do McGee is the place I go.

Pros: Beautiful Flat Screens, Great Service, Great Jukebox

UWS Top Spot

Can't say enough about this place. Was there for two different games so far this year. Awesome draft system and some very hot bartenders. Was there with a lot of people and the staff was really nice. Many HD screens, so was able to watch every game. Good crowd. I will definitely be back. Cool jukebox.

Pros: Pool table
Cons: No pretzels
