Mac's on Hertel

Bucking the trend toward the upscale that the local dining scene has seen lately, Mac's is unpretentious and unabashedly party-oriented, with a menu mostly given over to familiar pub grub with some interesting twists. Here you can enjoy some pretty well-executed burgers and sandwiches, chicken wings that trend a bit spicier than the norm, and if you're a bit hungrier, a selection of full-size mains that bring out a more refined touch (various steaks and chops, fish and chicken dishes, and a Thai noodle bowl with your choice of meat). Mac's is a pretty huge place: with two floors of seating, you can take your pick of a view of Hertel from the huge windows at street level, a bird's-eye perspective over the bar from the upper balcony, or — as a respite from the thundering din inside — a huge second-floor patio.
