    Love the food here, great service, the employees are so good looking, especially the lady with brown hair! Will be back.

    For a mid-week late night craving for snacks and a beer this is a proper place to be! Full bar, full menu, light atmosphere and friendly bartenders - perfect end to the a casual evening out. The Mac Proper Fries are unique and the best, a must try! And you can control the music through an app. A pretty cool place.

    Mac's was the first stop on my "figure out which bar is the vibe right now" walk with a friend. I felt like Mac's had a really family-friendly and casual feel to it. No loud, crazy music or TV (or people). If you're looking to hang out with some friends, eat, have a drink, this is probably a good spot for that. I did not eat any of the food, but the pretzels with cheese enticed me. If they had said it was beer cheese sauce, I would have 'bitten' (see what I did there). We got CBUS Collins which we enjoyed! I'd stop back in and feel cool bringing family or a friend group here!

    We came here for a friend's birthday on a Friday night and they had a couple tables open. It's a seat yourself situation. There's only a few tables in the back that are available for parties bigger than 4 people. They seemed as if they were short staffed so the waitress didn't come around as often. Drinks and food came out pretty quick. I got a Moscow mule and it was alright. I also ordered a Philly cheese steak with their house fries. The fries were good, but too thin so they weren't as soft. The cheese steak lacked flavor and sauce. It was so dry I started dipping it in ketchup. For 3 drinks and a Philly cheese steak I paid about $54.

    Mac's Proper Pub has been on my radar for a few years because my best friend took me there to try the sauerkraut balls, and I've been going back to have them ever since then. Recently I discovered that they have a great happy hour which includes half off apps and specialty cocktails, so off I went to have a dinner of apps. My order included scotch eggs, fried brie, spinach and artichoke dip, chicken fingers, and of course the sauerkraut balls. The scotch eggs were tasty-- served cut in half with a dipping sauce, and they were better than any scotch eggs I've had in the past. Crispy and delicious, especially with the gluttonous cream cheese dip. The fried brie is also very tasty-- served with slices of toast and definitely not as stinky or strange as brie can often be, more palatable because it's fried with a crispy outside. This is a great 'intro fried brie' for those who it may be too strong for normally. The spinach and artichoke dip is yummy and served with interesting sliced curly-esque fries. I loved the fries I just wish there was a bit more dip so I wasn't left with so many extra fries and nothing to dip them in. The chicken fingers were pretty average. Not a whole lot to say about those and probably wouldn't order them again. I also wasn't a fan of the sauce they were served with. The sauerkraut balls did not disappoint as usual-- sauerkraut and sausage all wrapped together and served fried with ranch(?) to dip them in. I'm not crazy about the dipping sauce but the portion is pretty large-- it comes with 6 sauerkraut balls that take at least 2-3 bites to finish. The bar itself is long and slender with an incognito room with a pool table in the back that I just noticed on this trip, despite having been there many times before. I'll definitely be back to blow off some steam with a game of pool during happy hour soon.

    Long time establishment in Columbus. We came here today lunch after an afternoon of running around town. We likely missed the brunch crowd as most everything I wanted was out (scotch eggs, fish and chips). I got the burger with fries, which was decent enough. The fries are fresh cut, so that was a plus. Service was fine. The only bad part was finding parking!

    I visited her for a quick round of drinks as we were waiting for our table to be ready at another spot. The food looked great that our neighbors received and I definitely peeked at the menu and saw numerous things that I was interested in. The bartender was friendly and provided great service.

    Triple decker sandwich
    Riley H.

    The fried Brie was amazing. Very crunchy and filling, and the apricot chutney complimented it perfectly. My husband was a fan of the triple decker sandwich; it was able to fill him up for two meals! The beer list was expansive and seasonally fitting without being overwhelming. It's pricy, but worth it for sure.

    I was the only person in the pub during the lunch hour on a Tuesday. The pub was clean and the server was friendly but shy. I ordered the Scotch Eggs and fish and chips. I didn't realize the fish was a sandwich so I didn't want all of the bread. It was like a fish stick stuck between a hotdog bun. Not what I expected. The taste was ok but I wouldn't order it again. I'm not sure I'd be back to this pub unless I was just wanting a place to play pool with friends. The food just wasn't the kind of portions or flavor I'd want to come back to time and time again.

    Chicken Fingers

    the cheese with the pretzel bites was bussin‍ the chicken fingers were juicy inside and fried well, would recommend

    @Mac's, tell me why my salad was almost $10 more than the menu said. PLEASE

    The bangers and mash and the fish and chips were both excellent. The service was very polite and prompt. Had a very good time will go again.

    Service was on pint, the food lackluster, the space was hot and uninviting. Poor cleaning practices obviously noted.

    One of my favorite places to get a burger, never disappointed. The chips that come with I craved…read morewhile I was pregnant and would just come in for that. The brussel sprouts here are amazing but they are not featured in this trip. Service is always up to par & love coming here. When the windows are open it's a great atmosphere. The playlist of music is always stellar, keep my my music identifier open to add to my list. Don't pass this place if you are walking down High Street!

    I want to start by commending the exceptional service provided by Dane. She was wonderful, and her…read morerecommendations truly enhanced my meal. Based on her suggestions, I ordered the Southern Spring Rolls and the Loaded Brussels sprouts with feta and cranberries; both were phenomenal, especially the dipping sauces she provided for the rolls. My main course, the Arch City Burger, was cooked to perfection on a nicely toasted bun, and the Caesar salad I ordered as a starter was fresh and crisp although dressing was average not my preference. To finish, both the Night Shift martini and complimentary tiramisu were delicious. While I had an overall excellent experience and plan to return soon, I did want to provide some constructive feedback regarding the beverages here. I was disappointed that bottled water was unavailable. Additionally, I found the $17+ price point for pre-batched cocktails to be quite high, as I generally prefer a freshly made drink. However, I was very pleased that Dane was able to accommodate my request for a fresh Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned instead. Thank you again for a lovely lunch and pass my compliments along to Dane for her outstanding hospitality!
