What People Are Saying About Mckenna's Pub
The Owner
Mckenna's Pub
Owner
Where else in the city can you get two Budweisers and a burger for $12? Since 1932, Mckenna's has been the go-to drinking establishment in NYC. With 8 drafts on tap and an extensive selection of liquor you can't help but leave with a smile on your face. Mckenna's has the best happy hour in the city with 2 for 1 on EVERYTHING! Whether you are sitting at the bar or lounging on the couches in the back, the atmosphere is friendly and it's not unusual for someone you just met to buy you a drink. The all female bar staff creates a great environment for the crowd and they definitely pour a strong drink. With 5 flat screen TV's there is alway a game on to watch and normally a few cheering sections. Whether you are looking to celebrate your birthday or a special occasion private parties are available and the rates are very reasonable. The kitchen is open until 1am.

Awesome Service, Great Deals
by Beer Enthusiast
This place is awesome. Enough said. The bartenders were super friendly and it attracts a welcoming, outgoing crowd. The bar is allows for a good mix of conversation and partying. The Happy Hour is great, and they actually also offer deals through NookOut (www.nookout). One of the deals is 2 hours all-you-can-drink for $25 and another is pay $12 for $25 worth of food/drinks

This place reeks of good times....
by WierdoSteveO
I was once a regular, so much so, the regulars hated me!! I lived in that bar for almost a year. Thanks to the owners for putting up with me!! At the time I was a wreck, sorry. The bartenders were great and very tolerant, towrds me at least, Like Ames, Jess, Kimmy, don't I owe you a huge tip?!, Victoria, and that crazy one that always worked nights. I think her name was also Jess. The cooks were funny and made excellent food. I miss the food. I wonder if Oscar is still there?!! All the regulars, like keithie, lloyd, the doonesbury chaps, that chick from hell's kitchen, Joanie, can't believe I remembered.
Anyway, THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME BAR YOU'LL EVER STEP INTO IN MANHATTAN.
THE BARTENDERS, AGAIN, ARE BEAUTIFUL, FUN, FUNNY, AND TAKE NO LIP, SO DON'T GIVE THEM ANY!!! THE OWNERS ARE VERY COOL BUT JUST BEHAVE. THE REGULARS ARE, WELL, GO IN AND FIND OUT. AND THAT HAPPY HOUR IS KICK A**!!!
I miss the place, but sometimes you just have to move on. Maybe I'll come visit this summer around noon until seven, lol. If you guys don't miss me, then it'll even be more fun visiting.
Keep up the good cheer, Steven D.
- Pros: All around fun place.
- Cons: none

Response to the Comment Below
by Julz86
In response to the comment below, the bouncer that is being referred to has since been fired. Therefore, I would disregard "ladies be warned". It isn't surprising that a girl wrote that review saying that the bartender was practically dancing on the bar and that this was somehow offensive. I know the extent of how far things go on that bar and it is nowhere near what would be seen at a strip club and is all in fun. So long as you aren't afraid of seeing some skin on a hot, fun bartender (even if you are a girl yourself), McKenna's is definitely worth a visit.
