Mc Canns Pub & Grill

some guys tend to have made up stories and inciting potential fist fights tonight, one hour ago. 3 guys former military\r more

I moved to Astoria from the East Village b/c I was looking for a neighborhood w/ a sense of community and I found one of its centers at McCann's! Most locals hang there and there is a lot of variety in the clientle, but everyone gets along well and hangs out; the waitstaff & bartenders know a staggering # of ppl by name, and if they don't know your name, they at least know what you drink. The bar is very clean--no stale beer smell--and the waitstaff is good. The sports element can be overwhelming if you're not in the mood (if you don't like football, stay away from there on Sundays) but if you're a fan of ANY sport, McCann's is the place to go with friends to watch. Specials every night of the week (the pitcher & wings deal ROCKS!!!!), and more to do than drink (pool, darts, paintball trips, fishing, Atlantic City, etc).\r If you move to Astoria, especially if you don't already have friends in the area, go to McCann's--you'll make plenty of friends there! Pros: Inexpensive drinks, clean bar, good specials, friendly staff, neighborhoody feel Cons: Too many sports fans sometimes, only 1 stall in the Ladies' Room! more

I practically lived at this place my first year in Astoria. I don't know much of the new staff, and some of them are friendly, but there is one girl that worked behind the bar who was extremely rude. WHen I first began going, the staff is what brought me back each time. Normally the bartenders are great and they always know you by name. John, the manager, is ALWAYS there, he works all the time but always manages to be friendly and say hello. The food is great, much better than average bar food. The buffalo bites are addictive and the cajun chicken sandwich is great too. The portions are huge and they also have a great selection of beers. The ladies' night special is wonderful and they even accommodate those who want their girly martinis and such. This place is a great place to go on an off night. Stay away when there is a baseball game! On those nights and on the weekends it can become so frustratingly crowded and most people are pretty drunk. If you are a girl, DON'T go here by yourself!! There are lots of cool young people that hang out here but lately there have been some creepy guys drawn to this place just waiting for you to come sit at the bar next to them and have a few too many drinks!! Go with a few friends on an off night for dinner and drinks, and you'll enjoy yourself. They have great prices and specials with lots of buy backs, but know that there is NO dancing in mccanns!! Pros: great prices, good food, good specials Cons: creepy old men, way too crowded some nights more

The only thing Irish about this place is its name,ther are too many TVs,but it's very clean and food is not bad! more

Ehhh.... Wasn't really impressed. The setup of McCanns makes it feel way too tight and crowded. Other pubs in Astoria probably have more people but you can actually move around. It's real tough trying to get from one side of the bar to the other. I don't think I'd go back. more

I went over there last sunday and it was really good experience....cold very cold beer, great buffalo wings....good service....good crowd....excelent!!!!!!! more

I went here. It was good. We only went for drinks but still got GREAT table service. It was a good crowd. I will definitely be back. It would be nice if one TV had something other than sports on it though. But I understand that's their ""thing."" The women's bathroom was very clean and neat. Go there! Pros: Excellent service. Cons: Too much sports. more

great service great food steaks cooked perfect great ckicken wings just great more

I love McCann's. Great burgers, cool atmosphere and always packed. If you live in Astoria you have to check this out. It's possibly the best Irish bar in NYC - as far as I know. Pros: atmosphere, burgers more

McCann's is a great looking pub, with TVs in every corner of the bar playing every imaginable sporting event. The food is pub grub with a twist. I had a cheeseburger, and the fries were better than the burger and the bun was a little big. It's a great place to grab a pint, watch the game, and sit next to a cop. Pros: Great atmosphere, nice staff Cons: so-so food more

Just moved to Astoria (luckily on the same block as McCann's). Went for the first time last night and it was a blast!!! Great staff, great drinks....and the %@$ load of TV sets doesn't hurt either! Keep it up guys! Pros: drinks, staff, food more

I could live in this bar if I didn't have to work. The staff is great - always friendly. they have excellent beer on tap, darts, and 2 pool tables in the back. Can't go wrong with this place! Plus its a half a block from my house, so that helps too.... Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing more
