    Beer and tequila.
    Daniel O.

    Come here if you're a real one. No BS here. They got a huge selection of beers on tap, and plenty of TVs for sports. They also got two pool tables in excellent condition along with several pool cues to choose from. If you don't want any fake-smiling corporate phonies making small talk with you at any of the Elm street bars, come here instead. You're home.

    Updating my review because the new owner reached out and that was a pretty nice thing to do.

    Good place to hang out with friends but don't bother going by yourself. there are better places to drink alone.

    It will get a crowd on the days you want to be alone, but it is a good time once they get around to getting you a drink.

    Does McGarveys have darts?

    Not that I've seen, and I've been there a number of times over the past couple of years. You'll primarily find karaoke, a couple of pool tables, an electronic game sort of thing by the bar, big buck hunter by the pool tables and I want to say a golf…

    Service is sooooooo slowwwwww at the bar. This is my second day in a row coming here but don't have…read moremuch of a choice seeing that I'm working in the convention center. The bartenders are short in conversation, take forever to come to you after you sit, and never return to you unless you shout for them. The only thing that saved the day was the loaded skins that were topped with pork belly. Delicious.

    I guess I'll be the first dissenting reviewer (LOL) and say that I had a perfectly good meal!…read more For an appetizer I ordered the Chicken Spicy Quesadillas listed as With a Poblano Salsa and Jalapeño Jack Cheese $9.95 on the menu. The chicken was tender and tasty and generously provided through throughout! The cheese was proportional and (I believe) was a jack cheddar. The peppers and onions were well sauteed and seasoned. The poblano salsa was quite good too. Definitely flavorful, and a 9/10 for me and my husband who shared it. The iced tea was actually strong and not like a watery mess, so points there! For the entree I went with the Grilled BBQ Glazed Chicken Sandwich, listed as Served on a Brioche Roll with Grilled Onions for $12.95. The only problem I had with the sandwich was that the lettuce, which was optional, and actual red leaf (not iceburg garbage), made it too slippery to eat without difficulty. I fixed my error and took it off after 3 or 4 bites and everything was fine from there ^_~ The actual chicken was tender and a full breast, not slices or a weird patty. Also, I was impressed that the tomato slices were actually flavorful. That probably means they weren't local, seeing as it's not the right season now, but yay for tasty tomatoes! The fries were pretty good too. I'd give it 8.5/10. For dessert (all listed as $6.95 on the menu) I chose the Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis. I've had cheesecake that was amazing and cheesecake that was godawful. This cheesecake fell more on the amazing end of the scale and I'd give it an 8/10 because I've been spoiled elsewhere. I think the raspberry coulis was not really necessary, per se, but it did provide a nice contrast to the richness of the dessert. I'm glad it was not strawberry, way too overdone! So, price-wise, we are on the "captive audience" scale here, since it is the restaurant serving the hotel and convention center. For the size of the appetizer, I'd say it was a fair price. The sandwich price was a bit higher than I would normally be happy with by a couple of bucks, but the dessert price was on par with other restaurants. For two of us sharing most of the meal I'd say it was a pretty good deal. I saw some items not available for lunch, like the Hanger Steak, that I wouldn't mind coming back to try out. The waitress was attentive without being a constant annoyance, so drinks were refilled quickly, and courses flowed timely from the kitchen as well. I'm going to give it an 8/10 overall between taste/value/service. I'd come back! You can pull up the whole menu at this link: http://www.radisson.com/rad/images/hotels/NHMANCH/JDs_Tavern_10_2010.pdf
