Ricardo Daniel LOAugust 21, 2017I believe they must be tired of us Himym fans. You don't feel much vibe from the staff. Their beer brand "McGee's" is quite nice actually.
Nicole RiveraJanuary 9, 2014Um. I'm pretty sure I just walked onto the set of how I met your mother. Wtf. Great serendipitous find. If you're a fan of the show you should check it out. It's like you're AT maclarrens.Upvoted Mar 12
Indulgent EatsNovember 2, 2012Cozy up by the fireplace with a $13 pitcher and watch multiple games. Hungry? Chicken pot pie does not disappoint. Super flaky and creamy deliciousness.
Fernando KikudomeJanuary 28, 2017Is a must see place for those who are HIMYM fans. The local beer is simplest, but good. And the McLarens Burger are OK. Price fair. But if your not a huge fun of the series you may find better places.
Amanda LeeMay 19, 2013I am a huge HIMYM fan and loved this place! They had reasonable drinks inspired by the show an they were super strong. The drinks are all reasonably priced and every one is very friendly!!
Chelsea RenaudNovember 12, 2015McGee’s, simply put, is the best of the Midtown Irish pubs. It feels like less of a sh*tshow than the rest, and is comfortably spread out over a few floors.- Amanda LeeNovember 20, 2013We returned to McGee's and went twice in one weekend! Bartenders are awesome. Drinks are strong and the burger sliders are yummy! I can't wait to return!
Alyssa DaughertyDecember 14, 2013Mac and cheese was gooey and delicious ideal in front of the fireplace, just needed the home alone glass of milk for it to be complete!
Hannah PSeptember 1, 2013the bar that inspired how i met your mother's mclaren's! also great if you're a georgia fan, or just want to pick up some cool himym swag.
Luiz MarquesJanuary 7, 2013Great food, good music, cold beer and the perfect company...the recipe of a great atmosphere!! What else do you need? McGee's is always a great choice.
Erika DeMartiniOctober 2, 2016Good food! Plenty of seating! Wish it was more HIMYM-y but overall good!
Krzysztof L.November 2, 2016I've accidentally came across this place and it turned out to have great atmosphere and wide choice of drinks!
Patrick Borrow SimonFebruary 5, 2015Nice pub, good folks, good service, good drinks, good food, germany approves! Got a free round for staying :) thanks
Rebecca HarrisFebruary 24, 2017Ed is the best bartender in NYC: seriously, go to the upstairs bar. He rocks!
Maria PflugradtMay 29, 2017This is the pub that How I Met Your Mother is based upon and the Guinness on tap was amazing.
Meg GriffinSeptember 28, 2013Shepherds pie is okay.. I LOVE SP. this is just okay. Don't hate me... It's just OK. Service is great, snakebite is great, ambiance is perfect. Will be back for sure.
Jacob ForsterAugust 22, 2015They have themes HIMYM drinks! The slutty pumpkin is absolutely delicious!!!
- Vito TartagliaOctober 13, 2015As great HIMYM fan I felt lack of McLaren's feeling. A good pub anyway.
Irish pub with a great atmosphere and awesome bartenders. A little overpriced because of the HIMYM connection. Also, a chill place to watch UGA games.- Portions weren't as large as I would've liked, but I had the bangers and mash and it was delicious. Good well drinks too
The greatest NYC Pub!!! Great beers, amazing service. Just love to be here!
Kata RinaApril 6, 2013Pub food but great service and fast, They had the fireplace going it was cozy warm inside,
Catarina MatosOctober 19, 2017So I saw on the internet that it was opened till 4am came at 23:30 ordered some food and at 00:00 four people tried to take our unfinished meal away. Not cool. Relax people.
Karl With A "K"July 25, 2017Great pub fair and perfect location in North Times Square. It's also the pub featured on "How I Met Your Mother."
NicoleOctober 23, 2014If you're with a group on the 3rd floor doing trivia night, the checks can only be split evenly, and tip is included. No line for additional tip/new total!
MichalJuly 8, 2012Stop by on Monday to watch How I met your mother in the most ideal place :) Oh, and they have happy hours too!
Alex SauMarch 9, 2015Don't drink tequila! ;) period. Great service, buy a t-shirt, take photos, have fun
Aytac AtesJuly 24, 2016I think it's best place to drink beer in New York. Cold beer, good fries and friendly stuffs.
Mary HeatherDecember 13, 2012We could say we knew this place before it was "the how I met our mother bar." To us, it will always be our favorite place around the corner from the office.
Maria TarazonaFebruary 19, 2017I went for McLaren's experience but I should acknowledge the food is Delicious
- Friendly service at this down and dirty midtown pub. Surprisingly good food top!
Sol VargasDecember 1, 2014The "Best burger in NY" in the HIMYM special menu is literally the best burger in NY
Roberto MartinezAugust 22, 2015Nice pub but if you're going there because of HIMYM, don't think it looks like McLaren's cause it doesn't. They do however have a HIMYM inspired menu
Martin AssmannDecember 14, 2014Home of How I met your Mother. Creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas used to drink there while working for Letterman on The Late Show. Special HIMYM drinks & food served!
Yamila KDecember 28, 2014The staff is really unfriendly. Obviously, it is a popular place because of HIMYM and they know it. So they act like "yeah we don't need you, we'll always have customers"
I've been drinking here for more than 15 years and the service is never less than excellent. :-)
Go upstairs to the 2nd floor. Bartender Michelle is the best! Go Weds for "YB Sober Weds" food is great, try the curry cheese fries!
Fabian ArvizuJanuary 4, 2016Just come, have a drink and leave. A must if you like HIMYM. But not a memorable place. That's my opinion
McLaren's in HIMYM is nothing like McGee's at all... not a bad bar, but definitely under-whelming if you're a fan of the show
Manda ShettletonFebruary 13, 2012HIMYM and excellent bar food--chicken fingers, nachos, and fries! Pasta leaves something to be desired but hey, it's a pub.
Heba-I-amSeptember 18, 2017Their house beer is actually really good but I really disliked the staff, i mean they didn't really do anything wrong but they were very unwelcoming :/ Didn't really get a vibe from this place
adriana castroMay 20, 2018Yes it’s the how i met your mother bar and it’s ok, inspired cocktails are so bad just have a beer
Михаил МингалевJune 19, 2019For the rest of the world people - they automatically include 25% gratuity without any questions 🙁
Krystal JohnsonJune 17, 2013Our waitress didn't come check up on us once. And when I asked why she didn't she responded with "you two looked fine"....we both ran out of water 10 minutes into eating our food.....food was amazing.
Marcela CabreraMarch 10, 2017Great food and atmosphere. Kinda pricey for someone who's not a HIMYM fan.
Tim MaloneJanuary 22, 2014The Penne ala Vodka is delicious. How I Met Your Mother tshirts also available for $16
