McGivney's Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Juneau

Nacho normal nachoes. Second time having them and each time has been great taste. They have 3 to choose from, chorizo, chicken, or beef. Had to try the chorizo because you just don't find that everywhere else. This deliciousness is listed in the appetizer section but don't let that fool you. It's a big plate of nachoes AND it isn't a bunch of dry chips with just a little but of topping. Down to the last bite there has been either beer cheese or meat or something to coat them chips. If you google search nachoes in the area your not going to get the full picture here, so I posted a plate of beef nachoes for you to see. But go on in and try them for yourself. Atmosphere has been everything from being alone to crowded and partly filled. So just depends on the time of day, the day, and what might be on. Booths are comfortable and I have seen families come in as well but be aware, it is technically a bar and though it has a "sports bar" vibe it can be family dining. Did have a salad once and it was also good. But who wants to see that when there...

The restaurant had many unbussed tables. The man that seated us seemed extremely stressed at the having to find us a table. He announced all the menu items that they did not have available and then rushed away. The server barely interacted with us when taking our orders. He seemed as though this was the last place he wanted to be. He placed the napkins and the forks (no other utensils) in a pile on the table for us to distribute. The food came out pretty quickly and looked good. He brought the food and I asked him for ketchup and mustard and he walked away. After about 10 minutes, it was obvious that he was not going to bring it and he was no where to be found. I went to another table and got the ketchup from there and also a couple of properly wrapped utensil packets that had a knife also since I needed that for our food. After a while he finally came by and I again asked for mustard even though we were 3/4 through with the meal. The food was ok, but the lack of service ruined...

McGivney’s Sports Bar & Grill located in the valley in that (weird) Mendenhall Mall, is a place ‘not to be missed’. We moved here three weeks ago, and it has become a favorite of ours. Everything you would expect from an Irish bar; good food, great drink and atmosphere. What really makes this a favorite for us is the great service and the personal connection from Betty the Bartender. She always welcomes us, and makes us feel like the locals we are trying to become. She is fantastic–and makes a mean Manhattan.

My own background is dotted with service positions; so, I would be remiss, if I didn’t mention Leah–who was busting her hump with a calm, cool demeanor. I knew she was busy, but she never let on to us–or any of the tables filled with patrons. It was impressive.

The pub food is great–especially the Fried Green Beans and the Philly Steak Sandwich. Go for the whiskey, stay for...
