I 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 Rivera

Um. 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.

Indulgent Eats

Cozy 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 Kikudome

Is 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.

Chelsea Renaud

McGee’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 Lee

I 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 !!

Martin Assmann

Home 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!

Amanda Lee

We 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!

Luiz Marques

Great 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.

Rebecca Harris

Ed is the best bartender in NYC: seriously, go to the upstairs bar . He rocks!

Thiago Santana

The greatest NYC Pub !!! Great beers , amazing service. Just love to be here!

Hannah P

the 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.

Nicole

If 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!

Krzysztof L.

I've accidentally came across this place and it turned out to have great atmosphere and wide choice of drinks!

Jacob Forster

They have themes HIMYM drinks! The slutty pumpkin is absolutely delicious!!!

Karl With A "K"

Great pub fair and perfect location in North Times Square. It's also the pub featured on "How I Met Your Mother."

Patrick Borrow Simon

Nice pub , good folks, good service , good drinks, good food, germany approves! Got a free round for staying :) thanks

Erika DeMartini

Good food! Plenty of seating! Wish it was more HIMYM-y but overall good!

Alyssa Daugherty

Mac 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!

Greg Banas

Really nice Irish style pub . Inspiration for how I met your mother bar .

Sol Vargas

The "Best burger in NY" in the HIMYM special menu is literally the best burger in NY

Aytac Ates

I think it's best place to drink beer in New York. Cold beer , good fries and friendly stuffs .

Maria Pflugradt

This is the pub that How I Met Your Mother is based upon and the Guinness on tap was amazing.

Kata Rina

Pub food but great service and fast, They had the fireplace going it was cozy warm inside,

Vito Tartaglia

As great HIMYM fan I felt lack of McLaren 's feeling. A good pub anyway.

Shannon Otto

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.

Angelica Young

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

Laura S.

Best place for how i met your mother fans! The food is amazing as well !

Maria Tarazona

I went for McLaren 's experience but I should acknowledge the food is Delicious

Michal

Stop by on Monday to watch How I met your mother in the most ideal place :) Oh, and they have happy hours too!

Eric Simpson

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 !

Meg Griffin

Shepherds 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.

Alex Sau

Don't drink tequila ! ;) period. Great service, buy a t-shirt, take photos, have fun

Catarina Matos

So 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 .

James Kiernan

Friendly service at this down and dirty midtown pub . Surprisingly good food top!

Sarah Wainio

Great place for How I Met Your Mother fans! McLauren's was modeled after McGee's! Also, $5 rail drinks! Can't beat it.

Tony Fleming

Inspiration for HIMYM's McLaren 's Pub (http://www.buzzfeed.com/lbailey211/this-is-the-real-mclarens-pub-from-how-i-met-your-e9sd#.jvn3RPGb2B)

adriana castro

Yes it’s the how i met your mother bar and it’s ok, inspired cocktails are so bad just have a beer

Roberto Martinez

Nice 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

Shannon Pants

Really fun bar with a lively scene but not too crowded

Nikki Erskine

The upstairs bar is fun, we didn't stay long for dinner though. I think our waitress Sarah was trying to scare us away from her table.

Tony Holder

I've been drinking here for more than 15 years and the service is never less than excellent. :-)

Yamila K

The 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"

Nina Frumin

The hummus platter was yummy and the staff amazing.

Manda Shettleton

HIMYM and excellent bar food--chicken fingers, nachos , and fries ! Pasta leaves something to be desired but hey, it's a pub .

Fabian Arvizu

Just come, have a drink and leave. A must if you like HIMYM. But not a memorable place. That's my opinion

Tim Malone

The Penne ala Vodka is delicious. How I Met Your Mother tshirts also available for $16

Mary Heather

We 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 .

Михаил Мингалев

For the rest of the world people - they automatically include 25% gratuity without any questions ????
