Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/13/2010 - Terrible FoodMy wife and I went for an early dinner downtown and I decided to try McFaddens because they're advertised on the radio all the time. Maybe this place is a hot party spot but the food was terrible. I got the Bangers and Mash and the sausage was prepackaged plain sausage with cheap instant potatoes. Without the cheese on top the reconstituted potato flakes would have been inedible. It also came...

I was in Mcfaddens on my last night in Nashville. The bouncers at the front were very interesting, friendly and hilarious! The music was just great! It's not just a typical bar where you drink and socialize. It is definitely a great place to have a great time! The night I was there, The bartenders were giving out free shots to the gals who danced on top of the bar! I'm not sure if they do t...
Read More On Citysearch VannaFL 7/29/2009 - Best bar in NashvilleAs far as Nashville goes, McFaddens is the best bar by far. Like the perfect Irish pub throughout the weekdays it is the perfect place for great food, good company, and drink deals that will leave your wallet looking about the same on the way out as it did walking in. At night on the weekends the lights are dimmed, the music is cranked and the dance floor comes to life. With some of the best bar...

Only look for the # 1 DJ in Nashville.
Our own talent. DJ CLIFFY D
He fills the room with electricty and with his personality then you end up dancing all night. Until closing.
ROCK ON CLIFFY D.

With some of the best DJs Nashville has to offer the party is always fun and the music is always great. I definitely make a point to check out McFadden's a couple times a week.
Read More On Citysearch itzsaga 6/4/2009 - Where was the manager?Where do I start, Tables were dirty, bathrooms disgusting (toilets nasty& water from sink sprays all over you) I ordered a house salad Out of 3 dressings cheese and croutons. Service was terrible The guy behind bar lacked motivation. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/1/2009 - Very disappointed from a Nashville first-timerOh boy, I really wanted to like this place. I was in a group of 7 people from all over the US and one Brit; it was our first visit to Nashville. I found several places to eat on this site and enjoyed them all a lot, except for this one. The food was below average. The ambiance was dead, the band was uninspired and the bathroom...God help us! It was gross! I don't know when they cleaned it last, b...

We tried to place an order and the server very apologetically advised us they were "out of the white chili"... we reconsidered our order and settled on the ribs only to learn they were "out of ribs" too....the server then proceeded to tell us what else they were out of...which was practically everyt...
Read More On Citysearch paradoxzap 11/27/2008 - Worst place to eat downtown! Bad service, bad food and crazy high prices!As someone who works downtown, I eat on 2nd ave a lot. Every time I visit McFaddens I am disappointed. They are usually out of half the items on their menu, the waitresses (are cute) but that doesn't make up for the very poor service (I ended up walking to the bar for refills every time), and the food is comparable to AppleBee's on a good day but extremely overpriced. The one dish that was OK was...
Read More On Citysearch gracefully 9/4/2008 - Very fun place!We were in town this past weekend for my sister and her friend's 21st birthdays. We had about 13 people with us and were just walking down 2nd Avenue when a guy from Mcfadden's told us to come in there for their birthdays. We told them we had 13 people with us, and they still let us all in in front of the line. And I'm not sure if there's ever a cover charge, but they didnt charge any of us. ...
Read More On Citysearch kayddid17 8/19/2008 - NOT an irish pubThis is NOT, and I repeat NOT, an irish pub. Mcfadden's is basically Coyote Ugly with some shamrocks thrown around. if that's what you're into, then go for it. But, the fact that the place advertises as a pub, or even Irish, is baffling.
Read More On Citysearch Nashvegas1976 8/1/2008 - I'll never go back - not Irish, cold food and about the worst service I've ever hadUpon entering we were told we would have to wait 15 minutes for a table. This was no problem especially when every place else in the area had at least a 45 minute wait. The interesting thing is that once seated there were tons of open tables in our area of the restaurant. We then had to wait 20 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order, even though the few tables around us were being ...
Read More On Citysearch skrudrvr 7/21/2008 - DisappointedThis was my first time, and I wasn't terribly impressed. It was about midnight and I was expecting a sports bar. There was a cover charge and a dance floor. The DJ was pretty good, but the music was the same booty-dance stuff you hear at any of the "dance" places in Nashville. The drinks were overpriced.
I didn't realize that I would need money to go to the bathroom, but fortunately I ha...
Read More On Citysearch iheart2shop 6/1/2008 - WorstI am a Nashville native who lives in another city now. My Irish boyfriend and his friends went to this bar while in Nashville as they thought it would be a cool place to go. The bar staff was rude and physically aggressive to a group of guys in town for a good time. I will NEVER step foot in this bar and I am hoping most of you will use your good judgment and do the same. Friends of mine in t...
Read More On Citysearch missaevans33 5/28/2008 - A refreshing changeBeing a Nashville native, I have learned to avoid 2nd Ave like the plague! Against my own will, I was escorted down second ave one night and led to into McFadden's. This place was AMAZING! We were having a late dinner and the food was great. They had traditional Irish dishes and some great burgers for the less adventurious. My friend had the Dublin burger, it was delish and beautiful. The severs ...
Read More On Citysearch chri8nk 3/5/2008 - Really cool place to kick itCool place, good music, hot girls, good bartenders.
Thats about it in a nut shell...oh, and the bartenders get on the bar and pour free shots down your throat....good stuff.
Read More On Citysearch monster007 3/4/2008 - Great Party PlaceI had a birthday party there a couple weeks ago. I called them and asked if they could work out a deal if I would bring in 30 people. They gave us some awesome pricing ($2 drinks), and gave me a great deal on my tab. Everyone was super nice and my friends and I had a blast. Great place to have a birthday party!
Read More On Citysearch allstateman 3/4/2008 - Love this place, everything is great!!!McFaddens is unlike any other bar/club I've ever been in it's a really cool place!! Nashville is such a cool city and really needed a bar like this! This place has it all flat screens, a hard working and attractive staff, an incredible DJ and they know how to throw a party!!!! I went to McFaddens expecting just another night in downtown Nashville and was blown away, the staff is very interactive...
Read More On Citysearch lillysdkb 3/4/2008 - Great party atmosphere late night!McFaddens late night is a very cool place for your 21-35 crowd. The staff throws a huge party like nothing I have ever seen. They let girls dance on the bar late night, but they are not the 50 year old tourists like you see dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly. Alot of the crowd are my fellow Vanderbilt students, and we have a blast. They also have alot of young professionals that frequent it. ...

I am from Nashville, and like most locals don't usually travel to downtown unless prompted by a bachelorete party or birthday or for just a change in atmosphere. Well a friend of mine won a Happy Hour Party on a Saturday Night. Wow! This place was amazing. I am not sure where the person that ...
Read More On Citysearch sam04 3/3/2008 - Absolutely one of the worst bars I've ever been to.Worst bar I've ever been to! Horrible service (nearly impossible to get a drink)! Not much else to say. You will regret going here as I did. Made the mistake of attending a "VIP" party a friend "won". There was nothing vip about it, couldn't get a drink, weren't cheap like they were supposed to be... dreadful experience. Hilarious how many of my friends have been there and thought the same thing,...
Read More On Citysearch queenoflife76 2/1/2008 - Mc"FAT"ensThis is not an Irish Pub! This is a pathetic attempt at "Coyote Ugly". If you like heavy-set women with cankles dancing on the bar right in front of you... then this is definitely your place. The service was horrible and the employees do not pay attention. I've been to this joke of a bar once... and I'll never go back. Which is a shame for them because I drink like a raging alcoholic!
Read More On Citysearch Boilrmkr511 2/1/2008 - Great environment! The party is crazy at night!!I've been to McFaddens several times and have always had great experiences there! We go for luch a couple times a month and never have had any issues! We'll stop by sometimes after work downtown and have a couple drinks during happy hour. The specials are great! We signed up for a happy hour party just like the guy below did and it clearly has a checkbox to opt in/out of their advertising. I...
Read More On Citysearch BCreten27 1/22/2008 - New Years @ McfaddensNew Year Eve was awesome. FSU will be back to the Music City Bowl and return to McFadden's for the awesome music. We were there ever night with DJ CLIFFY D. Best DJ in the South. I would never graduate if he was here in Florida. It would be party every night. Cliffy D is Off the chain.
Read More On Citysearch sblakemore 1/1/2008 - Lousy bartenders, dirty restaurant, usually out of most of their food and beer selectionsThis is the first time I have reviewed a place and I almost feel bad about the serious thrashing I'm about to give. But, here's the low-down on McFadden's. I have been in the non-irsh pub bar four times. The first time was for lunch with my collegues. Everything was filthy. I literally stuck to the booth and the table. The waitress brought a towel over to wipe the impossible goo off, but the towe...
Read More On Citysearch fsfitzgeraldwoneday2live 11/8/2007 - We loved McFadden's! Great stop for lunch or after work hang out.We loved this place. The service was good, the food was good and it was worth the drive. We live 20 minutes outside of town and were downtown for once in a blue moon and came across McFadden's...we were glad we stopped in! It was really a lot of fun. They had a great selection of food and drinks- enough to please anyone looking for anything. We were impressed with the atmosphere- it was a really ...
Read More On Citysearch sdnelson 11/6/2007 - Don't Go!I have been to McFadden's about 5 times for lunch and will never go again. Here are the reasons:
1. This place is not Irish. They have potato soup on the menu, but have only had it ready to serve once. It is okay, but not great. There are no other Irish dishes on the menu.
2. This is an expensive restaurant, with mediocre food. The chicken tenders are good, but they are $7 without fr...

His energy and style is OFF THE HOOK! his mixes are outstanding.
Read More On Citysearch fungals 10/13/2007 - Fun at McFadden'sWhile bar hopping in Nashville with my soon to be sister-in-law for her Bacholorette party, with a few other girls we ended up at McFadden's. This is the bar we closed down. We had so much fun dancing to the fun music that was played. We danced on the bars and the elevated sides of the booths. Everyone was really friendly and drinks were served non stop, no waiting! We will be going back to ...
Read More On Citysearch chitsy 9/19/2007 - AvoidI will never go to McFadden's again. A good friend of mine won an evening where he created a guest list and had his own personal party. Sounded GREAT! We got there and received our tickets with the instructions that we could drink all the domestic beer, well mixed drinks, and house wines that we could from 9-11pm for $10. The friend of mine that won the party was actually denied entrance bec...
Read More On Citysearch mrwaits 8/31/2007 - McFaddens was a McFlopA group of friends went to McFaddens before a concert thinking it was an Irish Pub. A couple of posters and Shephards Pie on the menu does not in my opinion constitute as being an Irish Pub. Took forever for a server (around 6:30PM) and service wasn't stellar-brought the entire table of 6 one empty ketschup bottle and we had to ask for silverware and napkins after our food was brought out. Food w...
