    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.

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

    Kelly M.

    We are just obsessed with this place. The staff, Beth and Cale are the absolute best, knowledgeable team. Food is excellent, and the cocktails are awesome. Love the open windows / fresh air too. We'll surely be back to see our new friends the next time we're passing through.

    McClellan's Pub - Fish n chips

    "Come for the Fish & Chips, stay because you can't feel your legs--mostly from whiskey, partly from…read morethe temperature in the restaurant." McClellan's Pub delivered a plate of Fish & Chips so good I briefly considered applying for dual citizenship with Ireland and Great Britain just to honor both sides of the dish. Perfectly crispy, piping hot, and seasoned like the chef whispered sweet nothings to the fryer. The whiskey selection? Huge. Titanic. Practically its own ZIP code. But not a drop of Powers. , A tragedy Shakespeare himself would've rewritten entire scenes for. So, like any self-respecting Irish-at-heart patron, I defaulted to good old Jameson--reliable, comforting, and always there for you, like that one friend who helps you move because they "actually like lifting things." I also grabbed to-go orders for the home tribe: bourbon meatballs, prime rib sliders, and meatloaf. The feedback? Universal acclaim. They devoured everything like I'd brought them a peace offering after years of conflict. If McClellan's ever launches a catering service, entire families could be reunited. The place was packed through Happy Hour and well beyond--apparently, half of Columbus had the same idea. If popularity is a metric of quality, this pub is basically Beyoncé. Temperature-wise? A bit chilly. Could've been the weather... could've been the pub... could've been the frigid realization that they were this close to having my favorite whiskey. Hard to say. Bring a jacket just in case. All in all, McClellan's is a rock-solid choice for hearty pub eats, stellar vibes, and enough whiskey to make you forget they didn't have the one you wanted.

    Great service. We've been a few rimes and have always fiund the bartender to be a good guy…read more Normally I order the salad served with grilled ir fried chicken. The portion is large. Green are always fresh and I just enjoy it. Wednesday is their half price fish & chips special. Two larges pieces of cod battered and deep fried to perfection! Served with fries and a small sides of tarter sauce and a delicious vinegar based slaw. Today I ordered my fish blackened and grilled. This option is not on the menu but was a yummy and healthier option. McClellan's is tucked away in a shopping plaza at the corner if Snouffer and Sawmill behind a bagel shop. They have a lovely patio on the side of the building if you want to sit outside. Inside is a european style pub with old liquor bottles for cold water on the table. We regularly visit McClellans and recommend that you check them out!

    Pat and Gracie's is very near to capital Square, and is an excellent location for a lunch or dinner…read morewith friends or colleagues. Great for finding some food before attending a show at one of the nearby theaters. The menu is what I would best describe as comfort, food. Burgers, pot roast, chicken, pastas, and other selections, which are filling and delicious. A menu is available for review online. Parking is available on street and in a variety of garages and flat lots located throughout the area.

    I've had this place bookmarked for a while but never found ourselves in downtown cbus until today…read more We saw a matinee show at the Ohio Theatre (highly recommend) and then walked over to Pat & Gracie's for a late lunch. Arrived approximately 3:30pm - restaurant basically empty (maybe 5 tables total occupied). Went to check in for 2 and the host said he had reservations at 5. Huh? So I asked do you mean you can't seat us until 5? And he said no, that we need to leave by then because other people are coming. I thought that was very weird and unprofessional. I've never had an experience like that before. It's a basic sit down place, why would you think we'd linger for more than an hour and a half? Whatever, weird feeling, but we were seated. Seated in the walkway. Not like in a path but literally blocking the walkway where you step down. Why do I say this? Because people walking by kept banging into me. Not their fault. Why is there a table there? And why were we seated there when at least 80% of the restaurant was empty???? Ok whatever. Ordered food including their signature made in-house tots. Waitress comes back and says they were slammed in the morning and they're out of tots. (Man I feel bad for the people coming at 5. LOL) whatever except the people at the next table appeared to be served tots. Food was tasteless. The Mac and cheese had a weird texture like the roux wasn't cooked properly. My patty melt was mostly bread as the patty was too small for the bread. My husband had the signature chimi burger and it completely lacked any chimichurri flavor. Like at all. We were out by 4ish (plenty of time for them to prepare for their expected onslaught) and needless to say I've unbookmarked this place from my yelp. Maybe we'll try the Mexican place across the street next time. ‍
