A great local spot! Dive bar ish vibes but slightly more elevated, big space, and delicious drinks! The executive gin and tonic is a favorite, great bartenders and nice outdoor (dog friendly) area read more

While visiting Marin County on a Thursday, local bartenders recommended Mac's in Fairfax. They're open pretty late and have both indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a stage where it looks like they have live music. We came later on closer to midnight and it looked like many locals go there to hang out for a drink. They have a full bar and many cocktail menus. There's street parking and people can bring their dogs inside! read more

Great cocktails, made to order. Bartender suggested drinks based on what I liked. There's no cover fee for live music. There was enough space for everyone. I can't wait to return for a tasty adult beverage. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cool ambiance, drinks were standard, not awesome but fair. Woman standing on the bar hanging lights or something around 730 pm on a Wednesday night...weird. The comedy show we came to see was flat...oh, so flat. The venue is cool. So we might go back. Avoid comedy nights. read more

Been there several times & had a really good experience but the bartender last night was really bad - I think his nickname was "G" - he avoided my friend & I sitting at the bar for a long while - walked right past us & didn't acknowledge us until I had to make a point that we were waiting for drinks - he was cranky & my drink was very weak - I mentioned that so he poured me a shot on the side - I had to mix it into my drink - he charged me $11 for that shot - my drink ended up costing $27!!! maybe he was hungover or whatever - he shouldn't have been behind the bar read more

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! read more

I saw an all girl comedy show last night and they KILLED it! 5 women performed and I don't think I stopped laughing once. I sipped on a gin drink called Green Light Go that was beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious! Total winner! The staff was pleasant and the DJ-ed music was on point! It was definitely worth the journey from the East Bay. read more

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

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! read more

Not too shabby for Fairfax. This spot is classy, fun. I didn't order a drink so I'm unsure how the drinks are... the service was swell and the staff are kind. I was treated to the VIP lounge, which is a super comfortable section. It is crowded and somewhat noisy. I'm not a fan of the cover band, and I'm unsure of the vibe during the week. read more

Went here for the night last Thursday, the DJ was awesome!! Playing some classics I hadnt heard in awhile and really got the room going. Got a moscow mule that was perfectly made as well. The outdoor area is a nice place to hangout and talk as well, with heaters and everything. Would recommend if you are looking for a place to chill and have a great time! Great music!! read more

To say the service at Mac's was poor is an understatement. I went there to see a comedy show which I heard was very good the month before. I was enjoying the comics (very funny) when the owner Mike came by and told an elderly woman, sitting within earshot of me, that she needed to leave because she engaged (positively) with the comic during their standup routine. Not only did the owner demand that she leave, but he did it in a VERY aggressive manner. What I wanted to tell the owner was that he should make a point at the beginning, before the show starts, to politely ask the audience NOT to engage with the comedians, instead of singling out an elderly woman. read more

I've never been singled out, and mistreated so significantly than when I went to Mac's Bar... It started with me accidentally smoking on what I thought was an outdoor porch, and once the bouncers let me and my friends know we couldn't smoke there we quickly went out front. When the bouncers wouldn't let us back in, I asked for my girlfriend and friend to be let in while I talked to them since I'd been the one who smoked. When the conversation wasn't fruitful, I asked to go back inside to find my girlfriend and get my stuff - while looking for her one of the bouncers started shoving me outside. Two nice local residents saw this, and as I was a college student and the only Black patron of the bar, worried and noticed I was being treated unreasonably aggressively. I am so grateful to them, as they asked to speak to the manager on my behalf as another bouncers also noted the way I was being treated seemed extreme. When the manager came out, we tried to speak with her to get clarification on why I was being singled out, but she immediately started screaming and berating us all. I'm so grateful to the overarching kindness of the community, but I've never been singled out so abrasively and treated with such absolute disrespect. I do not recommend whatsoever. As the daughter of the lawyer, I'm no stranger to the fact that a business owner can choose who and who not to serve, but it's a tragedy to see it used to reflect such blatant biases. read more

Mac's venue and staff are nothing short of amazing! I needed a last minute place to hold an event and they went above and beyond to help me make it happen seamlessly! Plus my family and friends had a blast! A special thank you to Sarah and Mike! read more

I had such a great time until I saw my bank statement seeing that they tipped them selves an extra 20$ after I had already tipped.. I'm a young college student... it's sad to be taken advantage and just honestly so wrong read more

Sad attempt at hopping on the speakeasy bandwagon. Poorly mixed drinks, nothing craft about these cocktails. The bartender had to keep looking at the recipe card, which meant she wasn't ready to be back there. Came in shortly after 4, so it was not busy. No acknowledgment as we walked in and sat at the tables across from the bar. After a few minutes, I got up and sat at the bar to place the drink orders. Other people came in, and they were promptly served. She acknowledged me waving the menu around but first needed to finish the conversation she was having with people at the other end of the bar. Finally, I could tell her the wanted drinks: Safe Word Pineapple and Zombie. She said she'd bring the drinks out to us. We waited and watched as she served others who came in, and then after other pointless distractions, she brought out a Safe Word Pineapple and Tokyo Smash! We waited for the drinks, thinking it might change our worsening experience, but it was just the cherry on top. Badly mixed drinks. If it's all you have, great, but this area isn't really known for lacking options. Ultimately, that's what we did. We hit up a place in San Rafael for better craft cocktails. Anyway, what was wrong with what 19 Broadway used to do before trying to hop on the bandwagon? read more

It's a nice bar. Service was good. Band was good. I thought drink prices were high. Grey Goose and soda is $17.50. Add on tip it is $20. It was a good drink. Put in a tall glass. So maybe it was the size of 2 normal glasses? read more

The free comedy on Tuesday is a joke. Posted to start at 7, it's 8:30 and just ridiculously loud 80s music but no comedy. Modestly good wine is $18 a glass. Could have easily bought a bottle better than this. Sad because I had high hopes. read more

I went to Mac's for my birthday and had a great experience. Our bartender Jacob was very attentive. Drinks were original and reasonably priced. We Will be back. read more

This place is so nicely re-designed, the dance floor is new and great music is bringing in dancers. Good food and drinks, too. What could be better right here in Marin? read more

The Tuesday night comedy just gets better and better every time I go! This last week I laughed the ENTIRE show. Great drinks and great service - will be back! read more

Wonderful drinks, great live bands, and they even have a server on busy nights so you can order your drinks from your table or outside fire pits...i love this place so much :) read more

I have no problem at all that I can't go into your amateur bar that doesn't know the basics of bartending that if someone clearly admits they have had too much to drink then you call them a cab. I would suggest that you and your bartender Sam go back to bartending school if you don't know the basics of bartending 101. Which is if someone asks for you to call them a cab after too many drinks then get them a cab. So yes ZERO stars it would I would continue to say..... And your right idiot bar owner am I extremely vocal about what is correct. Which is to call a cab if someone has had too much to drink. Look out for random checks in the future if your bar calls cabs in the future...... read more

Went here with my friends on Saturday night for a moms night out and was not disappointed!! The cocktails were great and I love the new redesign! We danced and had a lot of fun- this is exactly what Fairfax was missing. Can't wait to come back with my husband! read more

Sunday night love music plus friendly bartenders and good drinks. Randomly stumbled on this place and gonna come check it out more often

It was my first time at Macs since it changed from 19 Broadway. Has a nice ambiance despite being loud. It wasn't what I'd call busy, and after waiting 15 minutes I ordered a drink from a very rude bartender. Drinks are pricey. I'm not going to recommend this bar. read more
