Great Sunday I get sent to NYC on business every few weeks but this time I arrived on a sunday rather than midweek. My company put me up in the Tudor Hotel on 42nd so I decided to go across the street to Mcfaddens to watch the Yankees. I've gone by there sometimes and thought it was kinda rowdy and not my scene but they must have changed something because I had a great experience. I sat at the bar, ate my ...

Worst Bar in Midtown ??? WORST BAR EXPERIENCE EVER! So me and my coworkers saw they had this $20 All You Can Drink for 2 hours Special every friday, we work a block away, so why not right? Wrong!! We get there, where the bouncer checks your ID just to step into the place (haha..big joke since this place is more of a pub) and they tell us that the $20 special's been discontinued. What they have now is you pay $5 , th... Read More On CitysearchGene11105 11/30/2008
(Almost) the worst place I have been to! This place is awful! All I can say is don't go and waste your money here!
We took some friends who were visiting here on a Saturday night to eat and the service was slow and the waitress couldn't have been more disinterested in serving us. She took our order and then came back 15 minutes later to tell us that there was no more steak left (half the menu is steak) which 3 of us had ordered. She t...

Lots of fun This place is great if you want to go and have drinks with your friends. They have good draft beers as well as drinks and if you want to use them for birthday parties or special events Patsy is the girl to call, she handles everything. They are great.

DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING. I just wrote a review and I think the website crapped out so forgive me if this was posted twice. Im rather surprised the review says people in their late 20's-early 30s hung out here. We went last night and Id say the average age was 22. It looked like a fraternity party gone bad. The place was FILTHY, the crowd was immature, sloppy, falling all over themselves drunk, the music was so loud I tho... Read More On Citysearchlovesublime 6/10/2007
Don't go!!! In a word: Awful. Although I don't know if that word can accurately sum up how bad this place is. Picture middle-aged couples getting down to the likes of "The Train," being shoved against the bar of an entirely uncharming pub to order a grossly overpriced pint, and music so loud it's impossible to carry on any semblance of a conversation. It's like the worst college party you went to, times 10. Read More On Citysearchlily154 4/1/2007
Cool Place I've been to this bar a few times, and have always had a good time. It's in a great location, and has the BEST sweet potato fries ever. I recommend this place to young singles. Read More On Citysearchmswfords 1/18/2007
Did a company happy hour there, NEVER again! Rude bartenders & wait staff. Service is lousy. The bartenders literally ask for tips. It's ridiculous. Hope this place closes down. Read More On Citysearchronica34 1/16/2007
Amazing Happy Hours! Happy Hours are the time to go... great crowd, fun music, and unbeatable drink specials... $10 top shelf open bar! Thurs 6pm is when it all gets going - the crowd gets crazier as the night goes on. Sometimes its almost too crowded - but just go there earlier in the week if you want a less packed place. Good drink specials on Fri/Sat as well. Read More On Citysearchkimber111 11/1/2006
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! I have never had a worse experience...I was there for the first time to watch the Mets game for the $25 drink special. The waitress wouldn't bring us drinks to the table (we had to get them ourselves at the crowded bar) and the bartenders ignored us. After we ordered our food the waitress tried to move us to a different table so we couldn't sit with our friends! She set our food down with no s... Read More On Citysearchdyg201 10/18/2006
Always a fun times at McFadden's This place is nothing if not consistant. Been here many times and each time I go I always have a great time. The crowd is always lively, the food is always good, and the drinks are always affordable. Their happy hour is, in my opinion, one of the best in the neighborhood. Great place for a party! Definitely recommended. Read More On Citysearchdavidpsu 9/18/2006

Service PLEASE!!!!!!!! Awful!!!!!
When we walked in, we were ignored for almost 5 minutes then asked if we wanted our check!!!!!! We aksed for a table and the 'server' told us to wait aminute, then proceeded to have a chat on the phone to her friend and clear some dishes the another server seated us..........between them I don't think they could have been less attentive if they tried!
Food was good and order corr... Read More On Citysearchuuf361 1/24/2005
Surprises... I thought this place was the "it" spot for after work drinks but when I showed up on a Tuesday night... it was empty. There were only two girls in the place (not including the waitresses or myself) out of the two dozen people. Maybe I should try this place on a Saturday night, instead.
They have two for one appetizers on Tuesdays, which is perfect. Their food was surprisingly great. We had t... Read More On Citysearchpunky21 8/18/2004
The Only Place to Go the food is much better than you'd expect for a midtown pub, and the weekend parties are always crazy, but the service was probably the best. the waitresses are cool and will chat with you and be honest - and they're hot! hello! Read More On Citysearchdivacnfp 2/6/2004
Great for parties! I'm a big fan of McFadden's, it's a friendly place and the prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. Their food has been consistantly good when I've been there, and the drinks are a generous pour. The menu is basic but provides all the required pub food. The service is well-intentioned, but sometimes not as efficient as one would like. The best thing about McFadden's is that they are exc... Read More On Citysearchdelphica 11/29/2003

Wild Scene I had my birthday party here last Saturday and it was awesome!!! The music at this place was great, seventies, eighties, Bruce, dance, I did not stop dancing for the whole time and both Sarah and Rebecca hooked up with bartenders! It is an awesome party spot everyone should check out! Read More On Citysearchamanda79 12/6/2002
A Good Irish Bar I dont go for the candle lit backgrounds or the overwhelming smell of "Drakkar Noir" I like beer and beer likes me. McFaddens and its friendly, attentive staff helps facilitate my beer drinking process to the smooth melodies of old school hip hop, with an occassional U2 or Cranberries interlude. Basically if you want to go with a few good friends throw back a some pints, while looking at some h... Read More On CitysearchMADwyer5 12/6/2002
Good Time I had a great time at Mc Fadden's. The line sucked but once we got in there we drank a whole lot. The bar staff was really friendly to my group, and this was a Saturday night. All in all if you want to go and drink beer and shots, this is a good place to go. If you want to dance and drink martinis try one of these other midtown guido meat facotries...

Sucks This bar is terrible. Two years ago, Saturday nights used to be so much fun. I went in there just recently and the bar staff was rude, they did not know how to serve drinks and they even lost my friends credit card for 45 minutes.

Laid Back and Fun! I can't speak to the food because I have never eaten there, but as a fun, laid-back bar to hang out with friends, meet people and dance, McFaddens is one of my favorite places. I'm annoyed at the $5 cover now being charged on Sat nights, but they can get away with it because it really is that much fun. I've never been disappointed with the music here-- it somehow gives this bar just the right mix... Read More On CitysearchNYCGal123 10/30/2002
The WORST - Never Again The worst dining experience of my life. Literally 30 min. for the drink orders to come after giving us lame excuse about how the ice tea is the problem for the wait, another 30 min. for the food to arrive after that. Then the waitress had the nerve to add a 20% gratuity when we were only a group of 5. Waste of time and money. Read More On CitysearchAnonymous_patron 9/17/2002
