    Beer and tequila.
    Daniel O.

    Come here if you're a real one. No BS here. They got a huge selection of beers on tap, and plenty of TVs for sports. They also got two pool tables in excellent condition along with several pool cues to choose from. If you don't want any fake-smiling corporate phonies making small talk with you at any of the Elm street bars, come here instead. You're home.

    Does McGarveys have darts?

    Not that I've seen, and I've been there a number of times over the past couple of years. You'll primarily find karaoke, a couple of pool tables, an electronic game sort of thing by the bar, big buck hunter by the pool tables and I want to say a golf… Read more

We did NOT eat here other than the popcorn at the end of the night, so I can't touch on that, but the popcorn did come in clutch after a few drinks!! We started with a couple beers. Service was great and super quick. I was disappointed that a lot of their beers had run out - I'm not sure if there's a better way to handle their beer menu but maybe a printed menu isn't the right choice since it seems they run through them pretty quick. Regardless, I found a couple I wanted to try and was able to create a flight with them. I loved that they have so many local beers to try from. We also indulged in their free open mic comedy upstairs, which was hilarious. It seems like they always have something going on to keep people entertained. Great experience, if we lived close, this would probably be a regular spot for us.

The bartenders are short in conversation, take forever to come to you after you sit, and never return to you unless you shout for them. The only thing that saved the day was the loaded skins that were topped with pork belly. Delicious.

    I guess I'll be the first dissenting reviewer (LOL) and say that I had a perfectly good meal!…read more For an appetizer I ordered the Chicken Spicy Quesadillas listed as With a Poblano Salsa and Jalapeño Jack Cheese $9.95 on the menu. The chicken was tender and tasty and generously provided through throughout! The cheese was proportional and (I believe) was a jack cheddar. The peppers and onions were well sauteed and seasoned. The poblano salsa was quite good too. Definitely flavorful, and a 9/10 for me and my husband who shared it. The iced tea was actually strong and not like a watery mess, so points there! For the entree I went with the Grilled BBQ Glazed Chicken Sandwich, listed as Served on a Brioche Roll with Grilled Onions for $12.95. The only problem I had with the sandwich was that the lettuce, which was optional, and actual red leaf (not iceburg garbage), made it too slippery to eat without difficulty. I fixed my error and took it off after 3 or 4 bites and everything was fine from there ^_~ The actual chicken was tender and a full breast, not slices or a weird patty. Also, I was impressed that the tomato slices were actually flavorful. That probably means they weren't local, seeing as it's not the right season now, but yay for tasty tomatoes! The fries were pretty good too. I'd give it 8.5/10. For dessert (all listed as $6.95 on the menu) I chose the Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis. I've had cheesecake that was amazing and cheesecake that was godawful. This cheesecake fell more on the amazing end of the scale and I'd give it an 8/10 because I've been spoiled elsewhere. I think the raspberry coulis was not really necessary, per se, but it did provide a nice contrast to the richness of the dessert. I'm glad it was not strawberry, way too overdone! So, price-wise, we are on the "captive audience" scale here, since it is the restaurant serving the hotel and convention center. For the size of the appetizer, I'd say it was a fair price. The sandwich price was a bit higher than I would normally be happy with by a couple of bucks, but the dessert price was on par with other restaurants. For two of us sharing most of the meal I'd say it was a pretty good deal. I saw some items not available for lunch, like the Hanger Steak, that I wouldn't mind coming back to try out. The waitress was attentive without being a constant annoyance, so drinks were refilled quickly, and courses flowed timely from the kitchen as well. I'm going to give it an 8/10 overall between taste/value/service. I'd come back! You can pull up the whole menu at this link: http://www.radisson.com/rad/images/hotels/NHMANCH/JDs_Tavern_10_2010.pdf
