My partner and I always love going here. The staff are very welcoming, relatable, and the atmosphere is just so relaxed. They have live music performers from time to time, trivia nights, and just generally overall a great pub vibe. The Reuben is a classic that my partner and I love, Shepherd's pie, Scotch egg with the accompanying side salad, and the burgers. I haven't tried all of the entrees, but I'm slowly working through the menu. Their cocktails are also pretty yummy. I am personally not vegetarian, but one of my friends who is said their black bean burger was the best they've ever had. On my last visit I tried the fish and chips for the first time and being someone who for their entire life avoided seafood but is trying to expand their pallette, this surprised me. I would actually go back for more. The serving sizes are more than generous I think, and as as a person with an average, not two large appetite, I typically have leftovers for another meal which reheat pretty well. Overall, this is a regular location that we frequent since there's something for everybody and it's just nice enough to feel like a night out, but just relaxed enough to feel like there are no expectations. read more

First visit to this pub and I must say, it is very reminiscent of the pubs that you will find in Ireland. We sat on the second story balcony overlooking Canton Street. Started with a black and tan and it was poured perfectly. We shared a hummus plate for an appetizer, and this was a very pleasant surprise. Everything was homemade and fresh. The hummus was probably the best we had ever had and the pickled veggies were outstanding! Had the Smashburger and fries. Burger was juicy and very tasty but the star of the show on this plate was definitely the fries: thick, hand-cut fries - what every restaurant should have instead of the frozen, bagged variety. Hats off to the chef for amazing food, the owner for capturing the essence of Ireland, and our server, Liam, for being an excellent host! read more

Had a great time time meeting up with an old friend this past weekend in Roswell. Popped into this Irish Pub that was very welcoming and had a great environment. There were traditional Irish beer on tap so ordered a couple pints of Guinness. It's been a minute since I've indulged and really enjoyed the beverages, company and experience at Mac McGees. Lovely spot and the bartenders were very attentive. The patio was closed on Sunday so plan to retune and check it out next time. Visit Mac McGees for your next Guinness creamer! read more

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Great selection of drinks. Been coming here for 10+ years If we don't come here it would be Fado or Meehans etc. However- tonight we encountered a member of security who took it upon themselves to do the following: - Approach me and my friend at the bar very aggressively - Tell us (not ask) that he heard the F word 5 times and that we are not allowed to swear at an Irish bar - Ask us to leave because out language was inappropriate Honestly there's me and my mate at the bar. 2 of us. were chewing over life and the future and just being ourselves. having a lovely time until self appointed ICE security literally tells us we can't use the F word and demands we leave 1) time to bail on bars like this that employ unsettled people that harass paying customers 2) Fair play to the managers that did acknowledge the problem. Perhaps a bit late that you let your thug rome the bar and threaten us Have never felt threatened having a beer in 20 years but we did tonight. Perhaps James needs to join ICE so he can harass people without consequence. read more

LOVE, this place. The ambiance is just like an Irish Pub should be. Hard wood everywhere and cosy. Service was great but the best part is the food. I had the Shepherds Pie was amazingly good. My wife had the Fish and Chips. I don't even like Cod but that fish was delicious. Drinks were so good as well and the location is great. Right in Downtown Roswell with tons of great shops in walking distance. Loved this place and can't wait to go back. read more

Incredible service and the food was out of this world! Juicy hamburger and a generous amount of fries. The fish & chips were amazing and the portion was over the top! Nostalgic and authentic Irish pub! A must try! Love the location and interior. read more

The food was fine, nothing special. The kitchen was so backed up and took a considerable amount of time to get our appetizer and then main course for a party of 4. The server stated that they stopped taking orders because it was so busy. They ran out of an appetizer that was supposed to be the entree for one person in our party, so while 3 members were able to eat their dinner and finish, the 4th person had to wait for a salad to finally be delivered as a replacement. This is not a place to have a good conversation, it was very noisy. Overall a very disappointing experience. read more

We stopped in here for a break after walking around the main street in Roswell. We were in town for a wedding and the wedding party actually ended up here after the reception. Such a fun bar and the wait staff was extremely friendly. We didn't get to try any food unfortunately but maybe next time. read more

The bartender here was phenomenal! I wish we had gotten her name. We stopped by for a drink before our dinner reservations then had to come back after for another round. She was just so kind and welcoming. She recommended the brownie dessert of the day & we were not disappointed. It was incredible and made us wish we had dined here as well and enjoyed their scratch made kitchen. We left before the live music, but the atmosphere brought us right back to Ireland even without the music. Decor is perfect. Background music was a nice volume that still allowed for conversation. Comfortable seating. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and seemed to enjoy being there as much as we did. Thank you for the great experience! read more

This is a late review...we went for St Patrick's Day 2023. This is one of the funnest Paddy Day's experiences I've had! They had Fabulous food, A young Irish Dance Troupe and bag pipes! What more could you ask for??? Oh yeah... beer! Lots of great beers! I love the intimate seating arrangements and the great Irish Pub atmosphere. It was standing room only but no one cared! Come grab a pint of Smithwicks! read more

I loved how we were greeted- very friendly! Sat upstairs on the balcony and enjoyed a great view! Wish the bartender/ server was a little nicer though. He seemed so annoyed, that we decided to not eat there and go to Ipp's. The experience of trying new places is what we're always going for- so it was a little disappointing. Décor was so great though... read more

If you are looking for a proper Irish Pub then you've found it! This is not a fancy place, this is a darl, grimmy, full bodied Guinness of pub! Proper pub that will put hair on yer chest! They make the Pretzels in house and they are lovely good! Hardly anything in this place is healthy or good for you! read more

It's a no for me. It was my first and last visit. The energy in this place was weird and awkward. The manager was really nice, though. My first three choices for food items and drinks were unavailable because they were out of it. So I pretty much ate what I could rather than enjoying what I wanted. I was hopeful that trying something new would be a good experience. Not! My friends and I ordered vegetarian flatbread and the chicken buffalo flatbread. Neither was tasty. We also ordered Scotch eggs which were meh..but okay, the fries were good but they gave us gravy to dip them in...um, weird and nasty. The gravy was not good. Lastly, we ordered sliders! Yay, finally food with flavor. This was the highlight. I had no desire to order an entree after the appetizer experience. So we drank and left. Drink options weren't plentiful but they got us where we needed to go! read more

It's been a while since I've popped in here and it's still a comfortable fun place with good drinks and good food! A properly poured Guinness is a way to my heart and this place fits the bill. I had the steak sandwich and I would definitely order that again. The steak was flavorful and the mushrooms were fresh, none of that canned stuff...my mom had the cod sliders and loved them! TVs on for proper Saturday football viewing and staff was attentive. Highly recommend for a casual lunch! read more

Mac McGee is located in Downtown Roswell and we stumbled upon it while walking around Canton St. It reminds me of my time in Ireland and it's a very cozy, cool pub. We enjoyed the live music on a Thursday night and I had the traditional Irish coffee as a nightcap. The coffee was very sugary but I'd recommend. Cheers! read more

I wish I could give 100 stars for service. No kidding. From the moment we stepped in the door until we left. In all my life this was probably in the top 5 in service! We had Jack and K.B. Their recommendations were spot on. Loved the food. Especially the onion soup. Sadly too full for the homemade dessert. Hope to return soon! Thank you for true Irish hospitality. read more

We just moved to the historic downtown area and were so excited to try out all the restaurants. This being the first one because we had a hankering for fish and chips. We got here and decided to sit on the patio bc we had a dog with us. The server came out right away. We of course ordered the fish and chips ($19), the vegetarian curry ($11), came highly recommended by the server and a Lemon Thyme cocktail ($9). The fish and chips were great, albeit a bit small for the price and the fries were a bit burnt..the curry, being the dish that was highly recommended, was bitter and lacking of flavor and sauce. I had to ask the server for additional sauce and bc it was so dry and I normally don't like a lot of sauce on my food. The drink was decent, not something I would order again. Overall, okay experience. Server didn't come back to give us any water and it was empty for over half of our meal. Food was subpar, will we return, probably not. This is a one time place for sure. read more

How rude we were treated! we came here for a vacation on Wednesday May 24, 2023, there were very few people in the pub, we wanted to shoot darts and before we could read the stop sign we were yelled at by the bar tender don't go up there. I asked why because last time we were here we had a pleasant experience and played darts all night and enjoyed our visit. When I inquired as to why we couldn't play darts he said there were only two bartenders and they couldn't wait on us, I simply said we would come down and get our drinks and pay cash, he said "I said no" we left and partied all night elsewhere and will never come back. read more

Pretty solid place. The Moscow Mules were good, the Scotch Eggs were *amazing* Fish and chips were nice but the batter doesn't stick well to the fish and the fries were soft (some people like their fries like that but I prefer crispy fries) my partner got the gyro and he liked it enough but said the lamb was a bit gamy. We had an Oreo chocolate mousse cake.. we were told it was a cheesecake but it wasn't, still tasty though! The atmosphere is fun here and the service was great, Fred and Brittany were very friendly. read more

Always a treat to find an authentic Irish Pub in the oddest of places. Great bartenders,bands and service help bring it to a 3 star...the negatives that knocks it down are the pours....downright ANEMIC. Of course that has nothing to do with the bartenders. But - management, ENOUGH WITH THE HALF FINGER POURS. And we know you'll read this and say that's not what you've trained, but yes it is. Enough with the Lagavulin that you couldn't slide a credit card under. There are enough scotch and whiskey drinkers coming to your bar that you don't have to have the worst pours on Canton Street. read more

This is a really fun bar/restaurant. Good for smaller groups having a get together, good for large groups of friends for an outing. The drinks are good (get the Russian Mule) and the food is pretty good as well. The dart board was a lot of fun and the TV's in the private function rooms make for a fun Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I'll be back!! read more

First of all- The Service; Let's be clear how awesome they are for serving my family at all; We wandered in just MOMENTS before the kitchen closed on a Thursday night. Many many places would have said "sorry, the kitchen just closed" or would have made us feel AWFUL for choosing to order - but our server was AWESOME, and even though he said we would need to choose quickly- he was VERY sweet about it. Our server was prompt, attentive but not overly, he was friendly but not super chatty (and he was busy!)- and he made no mistakes. All around AWESOME service. We couldn't possibly be more grateful that they were so gracious & accommodating despite our lack of better timing..(We very much try to NEVER be *those people*, coming in right when the place is trying to clean and close.. but when we saw the hours online, we didn't realize the kitchen closes earlier than the bar, so it was an honest mistake. (Maybe it would be good to make a note on Yelp/fb/Google etc to make that clear? Only because EVERYONE should get the chance to eat here!) As far as the food: A++++++++ Hands down the best food I've had in the last twenty years; best chips (fries)- the best handmade taziki sauce, the best lamb burger & feta sauce, and OMFG.. The best bread pudding I've ever had in my life- literally the ONLY thing I was upset about; I was dying to get the strawberry rhubarb crumble that was listed online. (But hey, I respect that they aren't in season, and let's be clear - I would be perfectly fine to have that bread pudding as a last meal.) They are clearly proud of making everything from scratch and they should be. This was hands down the best meal I've had in a very long time, and not a single thing we had wasn't the best it could be. My 7 year old devoured everything put in front of him, giving it two thumbs up; even his cup of milk was huge (usually you pay $3+ for a tiny cup of milk at a restaurant- they brought him a huge to-go cup!) And my hubby; Despite burning the roof of his mouth due to the lava-esqe nature of Sheppard's Pie (his own fault, he knows better!!)- my husband continued to be impatient bc it was SO good, and cleaned his plate while it was still hot. We loved it so much that we're coming back tonight, because it's our last night in town. (And this time, we won't come in JUST as the kitchen is closing, I promise!) read more

Mac McGee Great little Irish bar in historic Roswell, GA with great atmosphere. Good selection of Irish beers and a great selection of Irish and Scotch Whiskeys (or Whisky, as they call it, with a detailed explanation) and a good mixture of Irish and traditional American menu items. You'll love the hardwood floors and staircase that leads to a second level. Our waitress Victoria was awesome. The drinks came fast and all the staff were very personable. I highly recommend coming here. read more

DRINKS: We popped in here after a very late dinner and only for drinks. They were typical, nothing special. SERVICE: It was a busy Saturday night, crowded. After we got our drinks and opened a tab inside, we moved outside and since they lost track of us, they closed out our bill inside and added a 20% tip! To me that's stealing. The waiter expressed surprise at my dismay at having completed his own tip, and I asked for a refund. He gave me the tip potion back and complained and argued with me about it. In general, the bar tenders were a bit rude, maybe because it was a long busy night... I won't be back anything me soon, plenty of other places to try in that area. read more

What a festive vibe here for St. Paddys day - with green miller lights and ligt up necklaces and shamrock necklaces - this place was a real win to be at for St. paddys day.

REVIEW OF THEIR IRISH COFFEE! And I guess the staff and location too. This is my favorite Irish Coffee in all of Atlanta. Why?] 1-No canned whip cream. The real stuff made sometimes to order. 2-Skip that gross creme de mint. Gross. Just gross. Just because it is Irish does not mean you need something green on it. 3-High quality whiskey in that drink. 4-Fresh coffee. Since this is really the only reason they ever brew coffee odds are they will make fresh when you order. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to create but like all good cocktails it is worth the wait. Oh yes and don't insult the skill of the bartender by just swirling it all together when you get it. That cream and coffee layering is part of the charm! read more
