The greatest little dive bar around. The staff is always friendly, the food is usually good, the drinks selection is great, and the karaoke is phenomenal. It's a small place and I've been going here for about 15 years..some of the faces change but the overall charm always remains!
Sorry never had food there so I can't put a star 1 2 3 4 5 for the food but the drinks are awesome the service is awesome the atmosphere is phenomenal is one of my favorite places to go because of how it is there and everything. I mean they don't water their drinks down at all music is always good, and the people that go there to drink hang out talk and stuff
Great place for the night life 100%
I am extremely impressed enough to give it a fake food star not their fault it’s because I don’t eat out. I’m so sorry man I don’t eat out. It’s a condition of cancer I’m cured now, but I can’t eat stuffblah blah blah. I’m cured anyways the atmosphere is incredible The Staff is one. I don’t like that you have to pay for the pool table, but I have to mention The security staff extremely fast and responsive, like impressively like impressive like Secret Service government, blah blah blah stuff and I only spent one to $10 because I have a bump to a bunch of Fans that watch me doing the whole Internet thing and they bought me Two white claws and paid the pool fee so they can win against me. It’s OK maybe I’ll let them. Maybe I didn’t. I gave somewhat difficult parking only because guys it’s Elm Street Manchester what do you expect?
5 stars for karaoke! It's a vibe in here cute local dive bar with cheap drinks, a big bar, and karaoke on the weekends. They have a big stage, DJ booth, and screen for karaoke. There are tables here as well as a bar. We've never gotten food here before so can't confirm there but bartenders are usually attentive and get you a drink quickly without having to wait too long. They also have pool tables here. Good local place on Elm if you like music.
I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO START OFF WITH THE POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE!! There was a woman bartender there tonight and she was absolutely amazing how very good customer service skills!! The AC in their works amazing LOL which is very important to us girls during the summertime!! My friend and I decided to eat outside the atmosphere was amazing we got to listen to live music and make many new friends definitely would go back to that place!!
Good seating and has a positive vibe. 1st time in and were not disappointed. Had some apps and a few drinks. Bartender had great service and people skills...sadly I did nor get her name...we will be back.
Family owned and operated. Extraordinary , but true, this bar and grill treat to please. Good drinks well served as well as the food. Stop in and have a bite or beer. Good times never forgotten.
shayna is the best bartender i’ve ever had, made my brothers 21st bday so special. we absolutely adore her and will be back just because of her! she deserves a raise
A Manch-vegas dive-staple!! There is nothing quite like "cavorting" in McGarvey's. Pool tables are fun, dance floor is always popping, DJ does a pretty good job typically, drinks are reasonable. Great for groups! They have pizza too. Bathrooms were never gross! Bouncers are nice. Bartenders are attractive. What else is there to say? haha! (Personally, so much BETTER than The Goat!)
