Never book your private party here!. Never book a private party here including birthdays! They will not let your few songs to be played during the night's performer break. We booked my wife's birthday party here. 3 days ahead, we talked to one of the owner, TC, if we can play our music during the performer's break. She verbally said "yes" over the phone and she mentioned that should not be a problem.

On the day of the event March 5, 2011 Saturday, the REstaurant Manager (thin Polish lady), stopped us from playing any song after playing the song "Arroz Con Habichuela". The music is even played low.

Note: Our 14 out of 26 friends whom we invited that night expect to play some of their songs and expect to dance a little bit. They are all shocked upon witnessing her "big" objection to playing any song. She even told us the day before that it is OK to play our songs. What is going on here!

The Restaurant Manager also did not give us the public discount of 1 free domestic beer or wine PER DINNER ENTREE ON PAGE 3 on that day of the event. THE RESTAURANT MANAGER AFTER NOT LETTING US PLAY OUR SONGS, ALSO PADDED THE BILL!

YOU NEED A COMPLETE WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND NOT JUST VERBAL WHEN YOU ARE HAVING YOUR PARTY HERE!

Note: The Polish lady restaurant manager is also trying to sell us supplements. What is this? Not letting us play the songs, padding our bill and not honoring the written restaurant offer, and doing side business of selling her supplements.

Editorial Review. From a classic Irish pub atmosphere to endless pints of beer, McNamara's is a haven for beer and sports lovers alike.

Great Plance Anytime. This is a great place for food, and family. A place you can take the kids feel like you are out for a nice dinner but not out of place. Friendly staff, great food and nice atmosphere.

Food good - Friday Nights excellent - Great bartenders and great drinks..... Awesome place, even better now they fired the "manager" Patrick. You could see the change in atmosphere instantly. If you need to give it a 2nd try...Friday's are the best, younger crowd ! Then wake up Sat morning and have brunch there... :)

Old Irving Hidden Treasure!!!. I love this place! When the weather is warm there are two patios, a cozy dining room in the winter months and a bar that's always lively. Holidays, especially St. Patricks Day can be crazy so make a reservation for sure. The service is always friendly and they really get to know you. The burgers are great, and the portions on everything are huge!!! A great neighborhood spot for sure! Stop by the bar on a Thurs or a Friday night for a fun evening...the bartenders rock!
