Really great bar with outstanding staff - the perfect place to get together with friends!
The food is always great, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Youll have a great experience every time youre there, whether you sit at a table or at the bar. High praise for everyone on the McShanes team, because they always go above and beyond.
Drinks were good and food was great. Hostess was beyond rude and actually shoved me out of the way. Bar was not full so no reason for it. Spoke to the owner who took the situation seriously and addressed it in the kindest way.
This place is generally overcrowded on weekends, and the food is far too expensive for what it is. If youre going to spend that much money on food and drinks, go somewhere nicer. If youre into the whole loud and crowded bar scene, this might be the place for you, but Im not a fan of trying to push through a crowded bar to stand there for 15min in order to get a drink.
Food was excellent and our server June was exceptional. Cant forget our bartender sorry I forgot her name but she recommended a couple of wines that were very good.
I loved this spot is great it has amazing food and drinks are great
Great food. Good service. Cosy bar. And fun karaoke on Wednesdays
Definitely mark this as one of the places to go to. Great food and drinks with a friendly staff. I love coming here!
Great local pub restaurant. Good food at reasonable prices. Great bar staff. Nice overall place to stop for a bite to eat or drink
I couldve been the greatest Griller. Ifmao!!
I regret going to this place every time I end up here....if you are in college... no, maybe in highschool.... and are looking for some place to feel cool, go ahead... otherwise the only reason why they dont get 0 stars is because beer is beer and the food is edible.
This is the best bar between NY and CT, bartenders are very friendly. Lissa, David and Miles are the best love them, the food is really good. Chicken wings, burgers, jalapeño Chili Peppers delicious. Highly recommend.. ...
Best bar in Portchester ! Good people , great food and friendly staff!
Nice decor ,attentive staff, great music and yummy food. Def will visit again next time I am in town
Great bar, woman behind the bar was awesome (blue haired lady). Had a burger and a couple of beers. Would highly recommend this place.
I Had the fish and chips and it was very good and I would recommend it. The burger was nothing special and a bit dry. The beer selection had about 15 beer on draft, most were domestic with 3-4 local beers. I would have expected to see a bigger selection. Service was excellent and she was very friendly, quick with the food and keep the drinks full.
Very pleasant very good food.
Great food with lots of choices. Whenever I have people coming in from out of town I bring them here as theres something for everyone. The interior is actually pretty nice too (for a pub/bar)- the picture they have posted on here doesnt really do the place justice. My only negative comment is that the draft beer selection is only so-so (very generic selection). Would like to see some of our local favorite brews on draft.
Always great food and great service.
Great atmosphere. Welcomed very kindly by Lyse and Melinda the night I was there. Sliders were amazing, as well as the fries......but that sauce was phenomenal.
My son loved the burger and the fried brie was ok but the loaded potato skins were disappointingly dry. Seems like a lively fun place for beers and drinks.
Excellent place for a burger and drinks. I recommend the brie appetizer. It is very tasty. Staff is friendly but they do get a little busy.
Good food, good atmosphere.Just dropped in for a quick lunch while visiting a client... But would definitely visit again!
Not my scene. Good drinks tho
Went here during the first phase in since COVID- would’ve given 5 stars but got a $90 bill for 4 drinks and two cheeseburgers- Johnny Black was two of those drinks... but $90? I guess bc it’s top shelf, however in other places the server makes the person aware of the price of a shot or drink if it’s that steep.Anyhow, we ate in the gravel outside, which was cool bc it was a beautiful night and our server was very good. The food was good, as well, which was a nice surprise bc we went to Portchester thinking we were going to Bartaco- which was packed.Overall, good experience and I’d definitely go back again, especially during happy hour to hang out and eat.
Always a pleasure to stop there. I went in before a concert and the bartender Dave treated me like royalty. He kept the pints filled and suggested the perfect apps. We had the chicken sliders and some wings. They were perfect and just what we needed. Be sure to stop in if youre in the area!
Good food !
Maybe we went on a bad night but service was amazingly slow. Friendly, but slow. Even the app - chicken wings (not the most difficult to prepare) - took a while to get to the table (i.e. a nearby table - seated shortly after us - had their food on their table before a wing hit ours.) Plus the waitress forgot to put in one of the dinner orders, dragging the experience out even longer. Empty drink glasses sat a while before refills were offered.If it were functioning on all cylinders, McShanes seems like it would be the place other reviewers are raving about - cool decor/feel overall. But not a great experience. And if it was busy (it wasnt) Id take that into consideration.
Awesome service and the food was delicious!
This place has some really great food. The salmon was delicious and so was the mashed potatoes. I come here a few times a week. Love this place!
Nice public house with great pub food and atmosphere; good kids menu! Christin was a wonderful waitress; great with the kids and very attentive! Meatloaf dish was awesome, as was the fish and chips!
Great menu from flat breads and small plates and salads to amazing shrimp po’ boys, pizza, penne a la vodka, steaks and traditional Irish fare including fish and chips, bangers and mash as well as a full Irish Breakfast. The wait staff is extremely friendly, well trained and one of the two owners can be seen most evenings and all weekend which makes for an extremely well run restaurant where customers are always catered to. On our recent visit on January 6th, mom (born in County Kerry, Ireland) had the Irish breakfast and enjoyed it thoroughly while I had one of the best burgers I have had in a while with mushrooms and Swiss, absolutely delicious! As it was Sunday, the bar was packed with football fans as well as about 6 guys playing darts! Overall a very well run and successful establishment!
Real Irish bartenders and wait staff. A well worn pub like atmosphere. No jukebox. Decent enough food and drink selection. Draws what seems to be a regular crowd, so they must treat people right and reward repeat customers.
Love this place. Really good french onion soup. The menu is yummy. The flat bread pizzas are great. Service is attentive. If youre at the bar, say hi to Robbie and treat yourself to a Robbie-kazi.
Great Irish Pub. Excellent Guiness. Food is better than most pub food. Plenty of table seating as well as a large bar. Wait staff are excellent. We now make it a regular stop when visiting Rye Book.
This place could be my home away from home. Best service in town ! If your looking for a nice pint in the afternoon I cant say more about McShanes. Happy hour is worth your time. Great specials on appatizers. I highly recommend the fried brie. Im fairly new to the area but, out of 10 to 15 places locally I would say McShanes has the best burger in the area. You have to park on the street or municipal but its beyond worth it.
I love this place so much. Great bartenders. Great customer service and so many great people to talk to and get to know.
I love the food at this place Ive eaten several things here and it has never disappointed. The staff is friendly and the bartenders are quick and always with a smile and friendly chat. All in all I recommend it a great place to hang out.
Good food and draft beers. I like to go here on occasion. The chicken dish is great. I forget what it is called but has cauliflower with those bullet mash potatoes that are fried. So good. Bangers and mash also great. Good prices as well.
Your typical center-island layout bar. A number of large, flat screen TVs for sports broadcasts. Limited selection of mainstream beers (not a craft-beer place). Our bartender was on-point and she continually refilled our drinks without our struggling to get her attention. Did not have the food so I cant comment on it. Went on a Saturday night at around 9:30pm with an NFL playoff game on with plenty of seating around the bar still available. Got a little louder and more crowded as the night went on but not to the point of being unable to have conversations or move about freely.
Robby is the best bartender. Always attentive, knows his drinks and is an outstanding great guy. Wednesday night is Karoake night and Friday and Saturday’s they have a DJ.Keep up the good work and love the Irish Pub!!!
Very well run Irish pub with great food. The short rib grilled cheese is my favorite and the bangers and mash are not far behind. Decent bartenders there also.
Friendly townie bar; Staff are helpful and engaging. Decent pints of Guinness and other standard beers can be had at the 40 feet of bar space. Food is above average for bar fare.
No Irish music.......The food was meh. Good for drinks I suppose
The owner, Vince, is a legend! Great Bartenders and awesome food!
The shrimp po boy was delicious. However, I had to wait over 40 minutes to get my food though, and by the time it came, I had to ask them to pack it up. There wasnt any apology for the wait.
Excellent service and great atmosphere. Great local bar. A must visit
By far, one of my favorite pubs in Westchester. Bartenders are always friendly and service oriented, taking exceptional care of patrons. Food is upscale bar grub and always good! Watching a game at McShanes is also a great experience with TVs everywhere and usually a lively crowd to add to the atmosphere. Additionally, in traditional Irish Pub style, McShanes has 2 real dart boards for customers to enjoy a friendly game!
Good food Good service Good ambiance.
That place is the best. Great food great staff. My favorite place
Great food American cuisine , Vince (owner) is friendly ,and is all about service. Like that there is a dj,karaoke nights. Wish they had live music though. P.C. needs more place like this!
Best burgers in town, service with a smile...always the friendliest bartenders
Large Irish pub with classics like potato skins, wings, burgers, and fish and chips. Nice sandwich and selection. Kids menu. Nice beer selection.
Its clean, friendly staff the Bar Tender was very courteous and they stay open until 4 AM.They also served appetizer and food
I had the Reuben, it was a very good sandwich, and waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Prices are reasonable, and the menu had good choices.
Was there for a few pre-Ghost concert drinks on May 15th. The staff custom tailored the music just for everyone going to concert. Thanks to bartender who turned the volume up twice! ;)
At $7 for a pint of Harp and $7 for Jim Beam, this place is quite overpriced. Its like they dont want anyone having more than one or two drinks. Do you guys offer financial aid? Way high dollar for this gangsta-esque type of crowd.
Very nice...accomadating. food was good. Service was great.
Love this place! Great go-to bar in the area. Good crowd, good food, the owners great... what more could you ask for?
Great casual spot for dining, my friend and I have gone 3 times for dinner, really enjoyed the food and great service. I definitely recommend that you try it.
Great spot and very good pub food. Friendly owners and staff. Will return often. Convenient to Port Chester train and pre/post Capitol Theater events.
Big rectangular bar with pretty good food. Lots of TVs. Its a good place to watch big games or meet up with friends. Bartenders are friendly and service is pretty good.
Great food, great service. Nice place to relax and have a few drinks
The bar even though its locals has great staff.. Even the people there are good people. Staff is always aware of their clielnts orders.
If you want a traditional Irish pub this is the best one in the area!! Great food, music, and bartenders makes you keep coming back to more.
Enjoy coming here once in a wile. They have good food and a wide variety of drinks. It gets crowded but never crazy.
Great food, great drinks, great bartenders, qnd great environment any day
On St Patrick’s I was surprised by the amount of people doing coke in the middle of the bar. I thought that’s why they were bouncers. Would not recommend it. It was also highly overpriced.
This place is great! Staff was friendly and food and drink was delish! Yes, I will come back.
Friendly bartenders, who are liberal with their pours, and very good bar food. A solid late-night choice.
McShanes....where to begin. The moment I step in the door I feel as if I took a deep breath on a warm summer day standing on the Cliffs of Moher.This quaint pub has everything...ice cold beer, fireball shots, breathtaking wine selection.The T-Bone steak is out of this world, I swear I think they killed and butchered the cow out back (ask the sommelier for an exquisite wine pairing recommendation). Oh yeah--AND they have karaoke.I have three final words:McShanes. McShanes. MCSHANES.
Best place in town to meet friends for a drink , weekdays on wensday they have karaoke, it’s a must if you’re a Port Chester resident and like the bar scene .
Great for locals and for pre gaming before heading to a club. When i go i see new faces but similar to davy byrnes sometimes it feels like a high school reunion.
Ok bar, pretty good food, and decent service. It is your standard Irish bar. I had just ok times there. Not running back.
Very good bar for a late night drink, Miles is one of the best bartenders there. Makes a good AMF :)
Love this place. Great food! Best experience every time I come down to Port Chester.
Friendly staff, great music, tasty food. Everything you want in a local bar.
Went on a busy night to celebrate....i figured it would be slow service or whatever. ...far from it....the barkeep was quick and kept them coming! Mc Shanes is awesome!
Went there late night and it was a typical Irish style pub nothing too amazing but very cool that they served food very late
Great place for late nite food and drinks

2022-05-19Came here a few times and always the same situation. Lets start with June best server I have had in a long time. She definitely knows what she is doing and I would definitely ask for her again. Now down to the food, I would not alter one dish. Everything is cooked to perfection and delicious. Hats off to the chef and the rest of the kitchen crew. I do not give 5 stars often but when service, food, and prices are right each star is well deserved. You will not be disappointed if you go here.

2022-03-21The wings were amazing, and also the secret mayo sauce that came with the fries.

2022-06-08Really bad experience at this bar. I went there because blonde girl and her 2 guy friends in Stamford said it was a good spot. After I arrived, I noticed that they had come too. Blonde girl invited me to sit next to her after I actually suggested that I sit next to the dudes. I was planning on buying the next round for the group when the bartender said I needed to move over one bar seat because they had a “friend coming.” This was complete nonsense. There was no friend coming. The blonde girl then on the spot made up some story about how her “boyfriend” might be coming, but they really don’t know for sure. LOL wut? Shouldn’t she tell me that her “friend” is coming, not random bartender? Also, is it a bf or friend? Stories don’t match up. Comical at this point, and really just not fooling anyone... Then, bartender admitted that he thought I was talking too closely in her ear, and that it was like I was a “parrot” on her shoulder. The bar was loud- sometimes you have to move closely to talk. So sorry. No apologies from the bar staff, which I would’ve appreciated at the very least. Still tipped $20 for fun. Have fun at McShane’s, but don’t be a brown guy and try to talk to a blonde girl at the bar- you might have to move down a seat.

2022-03-23Nice spot with great atmosphere to hang out with friends and have a good time. Bartenders are very friendly and polite. I highly recommend McShanes as the spot for a drink in Port Chester.
Review №6
2019-03-15A beautiful simple bar serving limited crafts and a good selection of bottles beers. The food selection is really great. I had the kalamata olive pizza, it arrived quick and tasted really delicious. The bartender, Miles, was fantastic. I havent come across another bartender who can pour a Guinness as well as he did. Overall, great service, great value. I would go back without a doubt!

2021-02-15McShanes is the bar to be at. Always a fun atmosphere and friendly bartenders. The food is great and the staff always makes you feel at home. You definitely need to stop here if youre in the neighborhood
Review №8
2021-06-26SO good - great mix of being a sports bar and a proper pub. Little back patio area if you like to be outdoors, too. Service is always impeccable. Try the burger - really good, if a bit pricey at $12 (fries included — cheese, etc. is not). Guinness on tap, of course. Love coming here.

2018-05-06Fantastic chill spot where it never feels too crowded, bartenders are always awesome Dave and Miles are the best. Highly recommend if in the area and looking for drinks and a quick bite.
