Horrible, Horrible, Horrible – As bad as it gets. The Scotch Eggs we had were disgusting, even after eating only half of one I became sick and my boyfriend felt nauseous all evening afterwards. The owner was very smug, and seems to be struggling with "little man's" complex. The service was sub par and I can't think of a single reason we should return. STAY AWAY!!!!! The only reason I gave them a star is because I was forced to by this site.

You really need to Check This Place Out – What a charming surprise this restaurant was. I know my friends were pleased as I was with just how good the bar food was. The hamburgers we outrageously good and my blackened chicken sandwich and steak fries were deliciously good. I can recommend the lemon drop martinis since I had 5 and my friend said the choice of beers were numerous and quickly found a favorite. We had a wonderful time and I am sure you would agree if you visit the pub.

Negative reviewers are on crack or trying to sabotage place – First of all, I have always had great service when I have been in this place. Even when it is very busy, servers have been polite and timely. Maybe it's because I am polite(restraureview?) and not confusing this place with a nightclub(looking at you, klenny). The food is classic pub food which is prepared well and quick. The beer menu is enough reason to go. It is amazing!! Nice tap offerings, including lots of locals, and huge bottle selection. When you go, check... read more

klenny was WRONG – I almost didn't go to Mac Nivens due to one bad review. What a mistake that would have been. If you want a laid back, comfortable place to grab a local beer and enjoy some unique and tasty PUB food, Mac Nivens Restaurant is the place. Our server was fast, friendly and efficient. The place was clean and inviting, and luckily for us, and everyone in there, klenny got the hint and took his business elsewhere.

In Response – The review from the gentleman who likes Delerium Tremons is partly true. They were asked to leave; for being extremely rude to one of my bar guests. His 'friend' who sat down on a bar stool did so at the expense of the person who was already sitting in it, almost knocking him to the ground. As we interacted with the group we discovered a few were intoxicated. I told them they would not be served here and they became angry and aggressive. When they refused to leave, they raised their voices, threatening me. So I... read more

Worst experience ever – I went to this bar because it was one of the whole two places in town that sold Delerium Tremens, one of my favorite beers. I walked in with five friends and we were immediately given bad looks. The server refused to serve us or seat us until we showed our IDs (even though we are all in our 30s). Then she called the manager because one of my friends had sat down on a bar stool while waiting. The manager decided that it was rude to sit down without being asked to and told us we needed to be polite when... read more

I love this place – This is the perfect place to start the night. The service isn't the best but I've never really had a bad experience. The high prices do make it easy to run up a tab here. The atmosphere is very relaxed and chill with the low lighting.
