McKenna's Pub — Restaurant in New York

A Pricey Adventure That Left Me Laughing (and My Wallet Crying) Oh, McKenna's Pub, where do I even begin? My night at your establishment was nothing short of an adventure filled with laughter, good times, and the most shockingly expensive drinks I've ever encountered. When I looked at my credit card statement the next day, I nearly fainted! Sometimes you must pay extra for a night of unforgettable moments. First, McKenna's Pub knows how to create an atmosphere begging for a good time. The lively music, the vibrant crowd, and the energy in the air were infectious. It's as if the place was whispering, "Come on, let loose and have a blast!" And boy, did we ever. Now, let's talk about those drinks. They were a work of art. Bartenders at McKenna's are true magicians when it comes to mixology. They skillfully crafted strong yet straightforward beverages but charged a king's ransom for it! I mean, seriously, I haven't seen prices like that since I accidentally wandered into a five-star hotel's bar. My wallet still shudders at the memory. But let's not dwell on the cost too much because the experience was worth it. While having the time of my life, I was sipping my pricey drink surrounded by friends, family, and randoms. We laughed and made memories that will be cherished forever. And even though my bank account took a hit, I can't deny that the laughter and joy were priceless. So, if you're willing to splurge a little and have a riotous time, McKenna's Pub is the place to be. Ensure you bring your sense of humor and a backup plan for your finances. Because after a night here, you might need a second job to afford your next grocery run. Who needs groceries when you can reminisce about that wild night at McKenna's? Cheers to McKenna's Pub, where the drinks may be expensive, but the memories are worth every penny...

It's seems like McKennas is just hiring anyone nowadays. Had a nice dinner in Meatpacking with some friends and we decided to pop in for the late happy hour and the female bartender that was working there last night was one of the rudest, most unprofessional bartenders I've ever seen.

She was clearly overwhelmed with everything she was doing and the bar wasn't even that full. I can only imagine how sloppy she gets when the bar is 2-3 people deep.

The guy next to me wasn't sure what he could get with his poker chip so he asked me to ask her and her response was "I thought we went over this, anything under $11..." in the rudest, most condescending and unprofessional tone ever.

So I replied, " Well we don't work here how is he supposed to know what the price is for everything?" She then curled up her face in anger, grabbed one of the cocktail menus and slammed it in front of our faces. So unprofessional. Me and the guy just turned to each other stunned like "Wow. How does she even work here?".

At first we felt bad for her thinking that maybe she was just stressed and overwhelmed but then after that we quickly realized that she was just unprofessional and not fit for the job because she was doing that to EVERYONE. One of the rudest, most unprofessional bartenders I've encountered yet.

I really wish McKenna's luck but this experience was really a sour ending to what we thought was going to be a good time. If you want rude and sloppy service this is the...

What could have been a great end to the night at a local pub quickly turned into a deeply disappointing experience after my friend and I were aggressively cursed out by a security guard—completely unprovoked.

When I called the pub to report the incident, the person who answered sounded entirely unfazed, which suggests this kind of behavior may not be out of the ordinary there. That in itself is troubling.

It’s especially disheartening because I’ve passed by this place many times and finally decided to give it a try—only to be disrespected by a security guard (an older Black man with greying dreads) for no apparent reason. When I simply asked about entry, he dismissed me and said I looked too young to even be asking—despite the fact that it was literally my 22nd birthday.

I frequent pubs often and have never encountered this kind of hostility, especially from a security guard. It’s hard not to wonder if the aggression was a way of gatekeeping based on appearance or assumed background. Either way, it left a...
