We found this little gem last year and have been back several times. The drink variety is pretty good and the food is even better. Dive bar feel with cool historical well laid out vibes. Highly recommend you stop on and try the stew. read more

The hubs and I LOVE this place. You can't go wrong with the Irish Steak Sandwich or the Stuffed Burger. The bartenders are so quick and attentive. I love Mac's Tavern, despite the fact that it's a Cubs Tavern (Cardinals fan here). THAT'S how good it is. read more

Went there on Saturday afternoon while in Davenport for show choir. Stopped in. Ordered burgers and wings. Solid burger basket. Especially loved brioche bun. Wings good flavor. Got macaroni and cheese as side. Very good space. Great food and reasonable prices. Only reason not a five is because we were only ones in bar. Son it sure how great when busy. But very good experience read more

This place was great - the music was outstanding (no Top 40 - talking heads, Elvis Costello, etc.), the food was really good (their cheeseburger with jalapenos -yessss) and the food I saw others order looked great too (for anyone willing to melt their face off, my bar stool neighbor asked for the hottest wings they could make - the cook made ghost pepper oil for the wings and god knows what else. He loved them, we all loved watching him eat them. Hilarity ensued. There are a few TV's for sports and whatnot, and there's also a side room with bags (aka cornhole) and some other bar games for you to enjoy. Overall a solid choice. Beer choices were good - domestics and microbrews like lagunitas, rogue, etc. read more

Great bar, excellent bartenders and great food!! Must try the Bangers and Mash!! The bomb!

I went here with my service dog and was illegally asked for his 'paperwork' by the employee. A second employee was involved who also asked for it. We explained the ADA laws, showed him the ADA website, and law cards. He said he didn't give a 'f**k'. That's not how you treat a customer. A business can only legally ask 2 questions. 1. Is that a service dog? 2. What task(s) has it been trained to perform? We said we would call the police to have them explain the laws if needed. He threatened to kick us out. Someone in a service dog handler Facebook group messaged them, and the employee lied and stated that I claimed my service dog was a support dog. The only way he stopped harassing us was asking to see my dogs vest, while legally a service dog does not have to be vested. Poor experience and we will not return. The man didn't even apologize once to us. read more

See all

Simply the best. The best bar staff in town and chef never ever disappoints. You can never go wrong with a martini and with chefs cooking. read more

Mac's Tavern - St. Paddys Day Parade. - Bars Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Great food! Mac n cheese with steak was good. The menu is pretty large and some of their burgers are the best! I havevtried a few items off their menu and enjoyed every one of them. Service was excellent. Its a 40 minute trip , but worth it! We will be back. read more

I'm new to the QC and decided to check out the Irish pubs in downtown Davenport for St. Patrick's Day. I ended up at Mac's Tavern and was very impressed. Even with the holiday crowd, the service was top-notch. And they make killer bangers and mash. And the decor and music really added to the ambiance of a real Irish pub. Will go there again! read more

I have been drunk here. I mean drunk. The kind of drunk that brings shame to your dead family members. To my surprise they serve food. Recently discovered this when I came down with a brief bout with sobriety. Yes, when I stay sober I hang in bars. Don't judge me... Jerk. Anywho the food is really good. Or maybe it's my cup of tea, chorizo on nachos and pizza. The pizza also has a handmade taste and texture. Great wings with unique sauces. Pricing that is very reasonable. It's a proper downtown bar. Note: this is a regular night, at a reasonable time, before the kids get in there with their unst-unst-unst. Channeling my dad now... And suddenly I crave Camel lights. read more

This is such a great place! Food was awesome and you won't leave hungry. Very reasonable and really fun staff. Definitely will go here again

One of the best bars in the QC that hasn't turned into a chain like bar. Love this place whenever I'm there and the foods alway awesome too.

I have been driving cross country and stopped for the night in Davenport. I chose Mac's for dinner because of the excellent Yelp reviews. This time Yelp was spot on. The place was just right, with excellent music (tending toward Indie) and the best bar food I have ever had. You MUST try the Irish stew. The bartender told me the secret ingredient is Guinness beer. :) The drinks are good and inexpensive and the people were nice and not at all smug. read more

Great spot to grab a beer or a well made martini while you're in the Quad Cities. Comfy booths and plenty of bar seating make it a nice place to hang with friends. read more

Mac's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Mac's is the classic tavern in Davenport. The friendliest bartenders in town!!

Fun place for the pals and I to hang out after a day on the golf course. The canned beer was interesting. It is my second favorite "Mac's" in continental United States. read more

Hands down my favorite bar to drink at in Davenport. It gives you that classic old bar feel. When my wife and I first started dating we would go here for a drink. Good times and great bar service. read more

I love this place. Great food and friendly, attentive service during the quieter times. Turns into a solid bar at night/weekends. Pretty reasonable prices, too. I've never had anything less than a great experience here. read more

This is my favorite town-y bar in the QC. They always have super cheap drinks (which are good), friendly and attentive bartenders, plenty of seating, and good music. It's a simple place - not too flashy. They also don't have a dance floor (which has never stopped us), but it's still a good time! read more

Bar itself is pretty good..though its a frat like atomsphere..brah brah bro..yea brah..a bunch of groups of ambrose and palmer students are the main crowd..so speaking to women here not a great option..as they run in packs with tha brahs everywhere read more

Best hot wings in town. Always come out crispy and steaming hot, with just the right amount of sauce on them. Lots of sauces to choose from and they all are good. My favorites are the sesame orange and Sriracha. The fish and chips are really good too. Saturday's are great for the burger baskets. Good beer selection and good service. read more

I went to Mac's as an unassuming tourist from Atlanta in town for a wedding. Having no idea what I was in store for while walking into a bar at noon on a Saturday, I was pleasantly surprised. It was clean, didn't smell, and the food was good--not to mention CHEAP. A $3.50 Burger basket was unpassable. It would have still been a deal at $5. read more

I love the ambiance. Nice place to have a cold one. Very clean place that looks great during the holidays.

All the bartenders are amazing! The foods damn good. A true old fashioned tavern.. The smoking patio is prime for a couple Cigars, and good drinks. read more

Enjoy Macs alot .Food is good,bartenders friendly.Nice neighborhood place. to hangout with friends

Possibly the best bartenders in town. If you are looking for the "Cheers" of the QC look no further. Can get pretty busy late; during the school year. read more

If I drank I would go there but, there's more to MAC'S than a drink. The food is great, had lunch there on a Saturday, best food I've hand. I like what they do for all the different holidays. Mac's overall is a great place made that way by the staff. read more
