What People Are Saying About Mc Glinchey's Bar & Grill

In Short – This spot has one of the most pleasantly diverse crowds in town. The regulars sit around the large oval bar and university students arrive around 10pm. The jukebox plays Bruce Springsteen, Marvin Gaye and Tom Waits. The "grill" offers chips and 25-cent hot dogs. After happy hour there's rarely an open seat at the Ms. Pac-Man table. And with possibly the cheapest pints in Center City, there's no reason for a poor boy to go thirsty.

cheap, seedy -- great dive bar

by tbyrne

Stopped by here on a pub crawl. The place totally reminds me of some dives I used to goto in San Francisco. Dark and seedy, bathrooms covered in graffiti, but with an interesting crowd. The beer was cold and cheap ($2.30). They have .75 cent hot dogs and chili dogs for $1.25, but they're kinda nasty... But hey, whadda you expect for $1.25! :) Never the less, it's just what the doctor ordered when you stumble into the place at 1:15 AM!

I do believe, I'll be going back here again.

  • Pros: cheap, seedy, interesting
  • Cons: chili dog

full of overly educated, elvis costello style drunks

by SoPhi

If you can't deal with smoking, rude waitresses or cheap beer this place is not for you. If you are going cause you like to smoke and like drinking good beer for low prices then this place has it!

  • Pros: Cheap Chimays! Smoking!

A Diamond in the Rough

by RyanT22

I LOVE THIS BAR!!!! Cheap Beer and you can SMOKE!!! OMG I'm in heaven. Not only is the beer cheap but they have a great variety!!! I was drinking barley wines for $3 and I didn?t have to go outside to enjoy my smoke either!!! If you?re not a smoker or can?t stand the smoke then don?t bother, I?m originally from Scranton so, this is a little place like home for me. Believe it or not there are a lot of people looking for a place like this especially in the City. However, they most likely will not be writing a comment on this page. This is the kind of bar that people find out about from word or mouth. No one in the right mind who is looking for this type of bar will be surfing the net. All the people who wrote lousy comments about this place don?t know what a real Pennsylvania-Philly bar experience is worth! You can have your stinking smoking law and I hope you all get 2nd hand black lung anyway!

  • Pros: You can smoke and find craft beers @ affordable prices
  • Cons: I personally couldn't find a con!
