I don't like Irish Pubs because they're generally smokey, gloomy and serve bad wine. Plus, the bartenders give me grief when I ask for wine; I order a coffee with Baileys, Kahlua and Frangelico but it's never that great. I end up staring at my mug wondering why I let myself be convinced into visiting another Irish Pub.  But, I like McMullan's better than most Irish bars.\n\nMcMullan' isn't smokey. The place is a little dark, but the band on Friday night is really upbeat and fun. They play Violent Femmes and Van Morrison. I recommend going on Friday nights if only for the music.\n\nMy first visit to McMullan's was on a pub quiz night when I drove my team's score straight into the ground. Like George Bush, I went with my gut and encouraged my teammates to follow my instincts. We lost. Bad. Pub quiz night is really fun though. \n\nI've always had a great time at McMullan's and will return next time someone pressures me into it.
