Master Critic Review
McMahon's Public House
8.0
McMahon’s is a large Irish sports bar a block from Barclays where burgers, wings, and pub plates serve until 2–3am alongside a dozen TVs. The classic beef burger and cheeseburger aren’t destination patties, but they’re exactly what you want with a pint after a game.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic beef burger, Cheeseburger, Brooklyn Bomber burger

What makes it special: An Irish sports bar steps from Barclays pouring pints and flipping burgers past 2am.
Who should go: Game-day groups wanting burgers, TVs, and Guinness.
When to visit: Post-game 10pm–1am when crowds and TVs are peaking.
What to order: Classic beef burger, Brooklyn Bomber burger, fries with a draft.
Insider tip: Head upstairs if the main bar is slammed; it’s usually calmer with open tables.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking and nearby paid garages; street spots become difficult after 6pm and especially during events at Barclays.
Dress code: Casual—jerseys, jeans, and sneakers are the norm, especially on game nights.
Noise level: Loud—TVs, music, and game-day crowds make conversation tough during peak hours.
Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes post-game; quicker outside event surges.
Weekday lunch: No wait—ample seating and service is fast.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options—salads, veggie appetizers, and customizable sides.
Vegan options: Very limited—may need to build from sides or ask for modifications.
Gluten-free options: Limited—burgers can be bunless and some salads work, but no dedicated gluten-free setup.
Best For
Better for: Watching games with a big group, late-night burgers after Barclays, and grabbing drinks with nonstop TV coverage.
Skip if: You want a chef-driven burger, quiet conversation, or strong vegan/vegetarian options.
