Good food, loud music – Most of the time when we go to McFadden's, we have a great time, except that it's difficult to hear during dinner time.

Good bar, a little pricey – McFadden's is a good solid bar, but isn't one of my favorites. They have a tendency to keep the music a bit too loud to hold a conversation, and happy hour gets overly crowded - i.e. elbows in your sides, knocked drinks, etc. The food is pricier than the happy hour specials you'd find on Division, though it's arguably also better. Since it's new, they give out happy hours often, where you can get an open bar for all of your friends for $10 apiece or so, for maybe 2 hours. It's a good bar to go wit... read more

Awesome place to be anytime – I know the other two reviews were bad but you seriously have to try and not have a good time at this bar. The staff is friendly, music is good (a little loud for happy hour), great drink specials and the sunday day is a goodtime, Thanks Jay! Seriously think about checking it out!

This place had some potential but it is just another trashy spot that would be better placed on Division Street then try and hold ground around the corner on State. I would not recommend this place and I wont be back. To those wh... read more

worst experience – took over 15 min to get a drink when bar was crowded on a thurs night. there were about 8 bartenders behind the bar...most just hagning out back there and not one to get us our drinks! Drinks were fairly weak once we did get them. Music is aweful. Crowd is lame at best. More like a college bar not a gold coast bar!
