    I came out here with my friends on a Friday night. It was super spontaneous so I'm glad that we found it because it had live music inside. The outdoor space is so beautiful! I was a huge fan of the string lights and they also have heaters throughout the outdoor area. People were very friendly and the drinks were yummy! We met the owner of the bar who was very outgoing and let us in for free, but believe there might be a cover charge.

    I am a big fan of Mac's. Have been on several occasions to see shows or drinks outside before movie. And last night I was looking forward to seeing the Chrystal Ballers band. The band was kicking it up whe several of us ladies were talking and waiting outside the bathroom door over 20 minutes. we started knocking loudly on the bathroom door and asking if everything was ok. I became alarmed and walked up to the bar through the back way, which apparently was a no-no. The bartender screamed profanity at me, and so I hopped on the other side of the bar and was trying to tell her that I was worried someone was locked in the bathroom. She again started screaming more profanity at me and I was just alarmed by her response and said don't you and she said don't tell me I don't care it was horrible. I couldn't believe it. I walked away and walked back to the ladies and told them what happened when the girl from the bar stormed over and literally screamed at all of us And was yelling profanity Ware so much so my one friend was screaming back at her. I thought there was gonna be a fight. Finally she walked over and unlock the door and there was no one in there. OK so maybe no one was in there but why did she have to react the way she did it was insane. And what if somebody had been in there passed out or something it seemed uncalled for. It upset some of my friends so much that they said we're leaving aren't you leaving? I really wanted to see the band so I did stay, but it did put a damper on the rest of the night. Need us to say we did not leave a tip. I hope the manager reads this and has a talk with the girl about being more appropriate. I won't be back.

    What an incredible venue! Complete thoughtfulness in design down to the smallest details. Local artists and inclusive programming that brings the community together, Mac's at 19 Broadway is an experience like no-other in Marin County. Huge thanks to Gerbely and David for the incredible hospitality. I think David is the "event venue" version of a maître d. He remembers me and my cohort every visit and welcomes us back and makes us feel special and at home. Gerbely makes my drink of choice, the "Naked and Famous" a mezcal variation on the classic Paper Plane with Yellow Chartreuse instead of Amaro Nonino. Amazing spot, check out the local programming and bring friends for an awesome night out!

    Live music.  Great bands
    Ernie R.

    Love macs. They book great bands and the crowd is always great. They also have plenty of seating and good beer selection. Highly recommended.

    Nice vibe and menu

    Nice vibe and drink menu. I look forward to checking it out again when they have live music.

    The place is absolutely beautiful and a huge drastic change from what this place was before! Very classy and can't wait for live music to start, big out door patio area and private area for parties. the bartenders are nice and some are still learning how to mix the new drinks. Normal price range for a bar in Marin county. Big drink menu and food I heard later on which is a great plus!

The drinks and tapas menu price points are of course pricey. But what was up with the stained paper menus. Eww. Anyways, the fam ordered drinks (cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks) and tapas of olives, hummus and pita, and fingerling potatoes. The olives were delicious and it was a good medley of various kinds. The fingerling potatoes were a bit boring tasting, it could use more seasonings for added zing. Not sure how the green hummus tasted, I snoozed on that one. Overall, the drinks are good, ambiance fantastic, and the food is meh. This is a type of place I would go for special occasions and not on a regular basis, my wallet cannot sustain it.

Tye, our server, was friendly and kind and on top of refilling waters, offering drink suggestions, and grabbing to-go boxes before we even asked for them! I had the chicken parmigiana, which was light and flavorful, and the steamed spinach that went with it was delicious (and I HATE cooked spinach, but gave it a try and actually enjoyed it for the first time ever!) The andouille sausage that was served with the pesto risotto was smoked and you could really taste it, and the spicyness was just perfect. The pesto sauce was heavy on the pine nuts in the best way. It wasn't oily or heavy on the basil or garlic like a lot of pesto sauces can be, and that left the risotto so light and almost citrusy. My cousin had the harvest garden dish, and they were stunned by how delicious it was. As a vegetarian, they are particular about their veggies, but everything was 'perfectly cooked'. At the end of the meal we were surprised by the panna cotta with the fruit remoulade, which we devoured in like three minutes haha! We really enjoyed all of the food, the service, and the ambiance.

We also ordered separate truffle fries, which was good for sharing. They had a 'tonight's specials' menu. We tried the Kampachi crudo, which was very underwhelming. Pretty bland, small portion for $24 (4 small pieces). I don't feel like the seating set-up is super optimal for groups larger than 4. We had a group of 5 and we were put in a booth, it was pretty cramped and hard to hear (as it was pretty loud). Our servers were great, though. Good service throughout.

Service was fairly attentive - there was only one slight hiccup with one entree not coming out until around 5 minutes after everyone's dish so we had to wait. Pretty good selection of signature cocktails. The Liquid Gold was refreshing and not that strong. As for the food, we got the tartare, crab empanada, bungalow Benedict, and the phyllo crusted pork chop. The tartare was fresh and not fishy at all, but was missing some salt. Crab empanada was great. The cilantro avocado puree and aioli complemented the crab well. Eggs Benedict was standard. It was nice that it came with a model bakery English muffin, but nothing stood out. Pork chop was fried very well. Crispy exterior but soft inside. It was a pretty hefty cut as well. I expected more from the taverna fries but it seemed like standard frozen fries. The chimichurri sauce was good but had an aioli texture, which was weird but still good taste wise. To end, the butterscotch budino was fairly light and had a good sweetness. All in all, the lunch was still enjoyable especially with the view. I do wish there was that wow factor in some of the dishes to better match the price.
