    Taco Tuesday
    Andrew C.

    I had an appointment in Alameda and tried to go to Black Bull Tacos down the block (https://www.yelp.com/biz/black-bull-tacos-y-cerveza-alameda) but they are closed on Tuesday's (as well as only open for dinner) so ended up at McGee's where I could satisfy my urge with Taco Tuesday (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcgees-alameda?select=nt8gJdw8EDwkyRTnQ839XQ) I went with a trio of Steak, Grilled Fish, & Shrimp tacos (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcgees-alameda?select=EgP8_Lpfm76xaGNwEGRkWw&userid=DsHsuhUvyyW_75zFcJxkKw) with mixed results. - Steak looked OK (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcgees-alameda?select=eHxy5O5UuQnvlw11I7IANA), but the meat was tough and bland. - Grilled fish was nicely seasoned (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcgees-alameda?select=VFOdrq_dvoBU3JGwyCbvwQ) The Spicy Slaw was a little odd with rings of pepperoncini. - Shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the taco had the best toppings (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mcgees-alameda?select=IykqG21WOjG5jF5IgQ80YA) The diced poblanos & salsa verde combined for the most flavorful bites on the plate. Staff were reasonably friendly, but you could see they definitely favored the regulars who came in.

    It's an absolute HELL naw with a capital H! The only reason why I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is because the first bartender that I had was pleasant and the two gentleman that I met there were extremely friendly. Otherwise, it would be one of those reviews that would start off with "If I could give this place zero stars, I would". Yeah, you know the drill. Walked in and instantly felt like an outcast. I mean, to the point of where I was getting stared down. Y'all know how I roll when it comes to the drinking game. I will go from the most elegant wineries to the most grungiest dive bars with no problems. I honestly really don't care as long as I'm having a good time and the drinks and food are good. Well, this place is just your typical neighborhood bar where most of the patrons are regulars. So, when you walk in and you're not known, you're gonna get the cold shoulder. Still, this didn't scare me away. I sat at the bar and ordered a margarita. I really just came to watch the last of the game, so I decided to see what this place was really all about. The first bartender that I had ended up being pretty friendly and the Margarita was decent. When I asked about food, she told me that I had to go to the kitchen to order it. I really hate when places have this kind of setup, but I got up and went to the back and ordered. Not sure if this dude was having a bad day, but the cashier was extremely rude. I ordered a hamburger and fries, glossed it over and went back to the bar. I ended up striking up a nice conversation with two gentlemen who were also watching the game. They were really friendly and told me that they had been coming to this bar for years. That kind of made me feel at ease a bit. When the food came, I already knew that it was gonna be a problem. The bun looked like those buns that come in a pack of 4 at the 99 cent store. I couldn't even see the Burger patty at first glance. I took a bite and was extremely disappointed. Overly bready, cold meat, and veggies that were not fresh. This burger was dry AF! The onions tasted nasty I honestly couldn't even finish it. The fries were also dry and cold. The food was definitely a major Miss! But what really pissed me off was the rude ass bartender who took over the other bartender's shift. I had planned to get another Margarita, but homegirl was purposely avoiding my area. Up at the bar, flirting with some regular, ignoring everyone else. When someone asked if they could get a drink, annoyance just covered her face. Look bro, this is your JOB. If you wanna make money, you need to serve the people at the bar. I finally decided that a drink was out of the picture. I wanted to finish watching the game though, so I decided to just sip on some water until the end. When the bartender finally made it over to my side of the bar, I asked her for a glass of water. She didn't say a word, just filled up the cup and place it on the counter. No straw, not even any damn ice in the cup! And then, left to the other side of the bar again. I noticed that another guy at the bar asked for water and what did this beezy do? Gave him a glass with ICE and a STRAW. That's how I know that it was intentional. I did nothing to this girl, so I don't know why I was being treated this way. I finally bounced out, never to return here again. It's just too bad because the two guys that I met were nice, but everything else going on in that place was a nightmare. Don't worry, you won't be seeing my face in there every again.

    Went for drinks. I ordered a rum and coke. They're big on family and the staff is family oriented. The bathrooms were clean and there's lots of space to walk around along with lots of seating options. It's a pretty laid back atmosphere. The bartenders are attentive which is a plus in any bar because you don't have long waits. They've already gotten rid of plastic straws so expect stainless steel.

    I was pleasantly surprised by McGee's; from the darkened window to the street it seemed divey. But the staff is friendly, large tables accommodated our group, and the Mexican food truck Tuesday menu was quite tasty. I also appreciated the ambiance was conducive to conversation.

    Enjoying St. Patty's green beer!

    Is there a pool table?

    No, but there is shuffleboard. They also have music - a jukebox with a lot of selections and live music once or twice a month. The Bands are really fun!

    So many yummy menu options!! You'll have to go back often in…read moreorder to try everything!! Great service especially with Kat and Sean

    I came here last night for a personal event. I told the owner that I was not going to do a review…read moretonight, but he actually stated for me to do one... so here it goes. For the event, we had reserved labels on our tables. The waiter took drink orders, then food orders. I came late and requested to be the last one to place a food and drink order because I did not want to hold the others up. The waiter forgot about me. He never returned. Fortunately, a waitress was bringing something over to a table buddy of mine and I was able to place my order with her. However, I ordered 2 drinks. One was supposed to come immediately after ordering and the other with my food. The waitress said she was going to try to plan the one with my food so it came out together. She forgot about my 1st drink until reminded almost 20 mins later. I ordered my food which was $17.50 sliders with a substitute of fries $2.. and add bacon $2. When my food came, it came with some sort of greens (Arugula salad..I think) and a side of fries. I don't understand why I got salad because I substituted it for fries. My fries came out first, which made no sense because I ordered my food together. However, upon tasting the fries.. they were cold in some parts..smh. I sent them back for hot fries. The sliders seemed overcooked because they were dry. I'm used to sliders being juicy and soft. My sliders were hard...smh. I did not bother to send them back because I was with many people and I really did not feel like going through the motions tonight..as I normally would have of my food order is just wrong. When the bill came, I noticed that they charged me $9 for a large fries. If it was only +2 to substitute... why did I get charge that? I went on and paid it without complaints. There were at least 4 ppl who ordered food before me and they still did not get their food and it was like an hour passing. I had 2 glasses of wine (Malbec & Blanc). Both were good. I loved the fact that they had karaoke. However, I disliked the fact that people who had gone once still went a 2nd time although there were plenty of people who still had not gone a 1st time. I think this place is chill. They need to do better with accomodating larger parties in both a timely manner and effectively ensuring food is correct, hot and cooked to perfection. I think they probably do best with a table of 4 or 5 ppl. Lastly, it was super hot in here. Yes there are ceiling fans. However, it seems that they have no central air whatsoever. That's ridiculous. Oh BTW.. no waiter ever came back to our table to ask if we wanted to order anything more. They also did not come over to ask if the food was good either. Our finshed plates say in front of us from the time we got it until almost 11pm. I would say that my table received food by 8:30ish.

    I stopped by here for happy hour and had a really pleasant experience! They offer $10 classic…read morecocktails and discounts on appetizers like chips and salsa and guac, French fries, nachos, and other bites. I ordered a classic martini with a twist, it wasn't my favorite drink ever but it was made well, just not my usual. After that I ordered a classic margarita which was super good and came with a black salt rim and dehydrated lime. The margarita was super tasty and both drinks were made right away! For food, I ordered the chips and salsa and guac. The guac was very good, it tasted fresh and was a good size portion. The salsa was really good, it was chipotle tasting but had a lime tanginess to it that was unique and refreshing. They were generous with the portion of chips and the chips were thick and crispy and seasoned well with just a little bit of salt. I also ordered the impossible taquitos which came with guac, sour cream, and salsa on top. The presentation was beautiful and the food came out fast but the taste was a bit weird, it wasn't bad but it just tasted like burger meat in a taquito. I really appreciate that they offered a meat alternative but wish it tasted better, like maybe use potatoes instead of fake meat, or use fake chorizo over a burger seasoning. It would also be nice if there was a vegan version not just a vegetarian version. Despite my critiques of the food, I have no critiques for the service and atmosphere! My server was phenomenal and attentive and checked in often! I had a great experience and look forward to coming back but would definitely be more eager to come back if they updated with more vegan options!

    Favorite place to grab a drink on the island!…read more I love grabbing a spot by the windows to people watch while sipping on a well made cocktail. If you want to grab a bite, my go-to is the sliders with tater tots.
