Editorial Review for McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon – by Valerie Moloney
In Short
This New York chain of Irish pubs opens its sixth location in the heart of the Gold Coast in the former NY Steakhouse space. To mimic that traditional tavern look, the decor is wood heavy, with a 53-foot mahogany bar, chrome fixtures, banquet seating and more than nine plasma TVs for sports fans. Celtic fare includes cold-weather faves shepherd's pie and chicken pot pie. Eggs Maryland and omelettes bring in the brunch crowd.

The service is horrible. I waited 1.5 hours to get my salad which wasn't even made correctly. After eating this horrible salad I noticed something moving in it. There was an insect in it!!! There were only 5 other people in the bar and it took 45 minutes to get my check. This place sucks!!!Do not eat here!!! Its got insects!!!
Pros: its got great water
Cons: you have to wait 1.5 hours to get it

Do you like silicone breasts? Do you like women that are so made up that they might look like Dom Delouise if you were to actually take them home and see them sans makeup? How about the smell of Tommy Cologne wafting through a sea of frat boys in pink shirts? Does that turn you on? If you answered yes to any of these questions, number one, I hope we never meet, and number two, this might be the bar for you! This was by far the WORST bar I've been to in Chicago. If the DJ worked in an office, he would be the guy that everyone calls "Douchebag Chris" behind his back. The music was horrible, loud, and dated. In fact, the entire scene was horrible, loud, and dated. It brought me back to my days of going to frat parties as a high school junior...only minus the charm. Stay away from this waste of a bar.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
