McJames Sports Pub — Restaurant in Brook Park

Tucked away on Snow Road in Brook Park, Ohio, McJames Sports Pub is the kind of unassuming gem that locals whisper about like a secret handshake—low-key on the outside, but an absolute vibe machine once you step through the door. Under the savvy ownership of Adam Radogna, this spot has leveled up from its Italian restaurant roots into a full-throttle sports haven that's equal parts rowdy and refined. Adam's touch is everywhere: the revamped menu that's all about crowd-pleasing pub grub without breaking the bank, and that infectious energy that makes you feel like you've been a regular since day one.I rolled in on a Friday night, the air buzzing . (pro tip: snag a stool with a direct line of sight—Adam's got over a dozen TVs ensuring no bad angles). The crowd was a perfect mix: die-hard fans hollering at every play, groups of friends clinking glasses during happy hour, and even a few airport-weary travelers unwinding with a cold one. Speaking of drinks, the bar lineup is a winner—ice-cold drafts starting at pocket-change prices, craft bottles that hit just right, and those legendary apple pie shots that taste like dessert in a glass (seriously, order one; it's the bar's not-so-secret weapon).But let's talk food, because that's where McJames flexes. Adam's crew in the kitchen nails the classics with a fresh twist: think juicy wings that arrive scorching hot and sauced to perfection, loaded nachos piled high enough to share (or not), and burgers that are grilled to that caramelized edge where the bun barely holds it together. I went for the pub Reuben special—tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and Swiss that melts like a dream, all for under $10. Paired with a side of crispy fries? Game over. It's hearty, no-fuss fuel that keeps you glued to the action without weighing you down.What sets McJames apart, though, is Adam himself. The guy's a force—popping in to chat up tables, cracking jokes with the bartenders (shoutout to the crew; they're quick, friendly, and remember your go-to order by round two), and keeping the energy dialed just right. Under his watch, the place feels like an extension of your own crew's hangout: darts and pool tables for post-game showdowns, a spacious setup that never feels cramped, and daily specials that make swinging by a no-brainer (looking at you, $1.50 domestics).If you're near the airport or just craving a spot where the beer's cheap, the vibes are electric, and the owner's got your back, do yourself a favor and hit McJames. It's not just a bar—it's the neighborhood heartbeat, courtesy of Adam Radogna. Five stars, no hesitation. Can't wait...

Mcjames is a great corner bar. It has bar food as well as some really good Italian food. Adam, the owner announced he's making into an Italian restaurant. I personally tasted the food and it is worth five stars price is so reasonable french fries wings all bar food is amazing at a good price atmosphere is really inviting. Adam goes above and beyond for his customers and I highly recommend anybody going to this quaint restaurant in Brook Park. There are so many bars around but Adam's bar Mcjames sticks out due to the good food, low prices and the fun atmosphere I would highly recommend This restaurant, whether you just want a cold beer, cocktail, appetizer or full meal, you will become a regular....

We always said we wanted to check out the Pub, it did not disappoint! The atmosphere and food were great. Adam and TT are amazing hosts and have us coming back as regulars! Mark, the chef, knows how to cook great food (whether it is my usual meal or my husbands ever changing cravings).

This is a bar you don’t find anymore - it is that small town local bar (but huge on the inside) where the locals know you and make you feel welcome (with some friendly razzing - especially during football season), can catch a sports game, find a fun new cocktail event or just chill out. Couldn’t recommend this place any higher!...
