If you have ever seen the TV show, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" you probably know "Mac." Well, a friend of a friend and two actors from the show decided to open a bar that could capitalize on the show's likeability. What was born is a fantastic bar that you always feel welcome in.
This author has visited this bar several times over the past six months. Each time, it's always a great time. The last visit, on Friday was outstanding. Let's go over the food.
Each menu item is carefully chosen by Ben (a friend of a friend). What makes it different from any other pub or bar is the extra touches and primarily unique foods that work! For a starter, my friend Matty and I shared a deep fried bacon/fried pickles/chips all served in a sundae dish-- with the bacon sticking out! One bite and I was forever hooked! Wasn't a fan of the chips, but the pickles were nice as well!
Any good bar needs great drinks! Mac's doesn't let you down in this respect. There are loads of taps and roughly 50 bottled beers waiting for your lips! The bar has all the call brands you expect to see, with none that you don't! On our trip, it was Philly Beer week, so there were The Flying Fish Brewery reps present. Also, Long Trail Brewery from Vermont had four beers on tap! Impressive!
Now, the main course. We wanted to eat semi-light due to the mercury being up/around 90F. So, that ruled out the chili then! This menu mostly consists of finger food apps to sandwiches and the like. Very simply done. I had the cold roasted beef sandwich with provolone and horseradish sauce (all served on a pretzel roll!). The pretzel roll added a nice change to the ordinary sandwich-- and made it more durable with the toppings! My buddy had the chicken cutlet sandwich (apparently a Philly regional specialty). I tasted it and it was seasoned perfectly! Even the fries on side were noteworthy!
Our bill came to roughly $50, including tip. Not a bad bargain. We even returned later in the evening to sit on the patio out front. So, if you're looking for a nice place to waste a couple hours, with decent food (in Philly). Choose Mac's!
