Loved it. First time visiting. I went for the ambiance and the Always Sunny theme. I stayed for the fantastic wait staff and excellent drinks. I loved the Bloody Mary's and Margaritas. The food was fantastic. I would highly recommend it. It was the highlight of our trip.

A Quick Trip to Mac's Tavern – A Five-Star Stop!
As an avid fan of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit Mac's Tavern during my short trip for a conference. Despite the time constraints that allowed for just a single beer, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The tavern's ambiance immediately drew us in. We might have had time for only one round, but the beer selection was impressive and our choice did not disappoint. We also had a quick bite to eat and were very impressed with the food (best Mac n Cheese ever)!
Even with our brief visit, Christian, our bartender, made a lasting impression. He was the epitome of friendliness and gave us the warmest welcome. In a swift but memorable exchange, he even managed to snap a couple of great photos for us, capturing our fleeting moment in this iconic spot.
For those who find themselves in Philadelphia with time for a drink, make it at Mac's Tavern. It's a place where even the briefest stop can become a highlight, especially with staff like Christian who are the epitome of Philadelphia's hospitality. Can't wait to return for a longer visit next time!
We came here end of November 2022, had a whale of a time. Have been meaning to leave a review for a while.
Both big fans of Always Sunny from the UK, and were doing an overnight stop in Philly down to Washington. It was absolutely pelting it down with rain, so we popped in here thinking we would be an hour, but ended up staying most of the afternoon.
The waitress was absolutely amazing, really brought the place to life. Gave some good recommendations and we had a few chats about Philly, Wrexham etc. We had quite a few drinks as the vibe was so good.
We thought we'd try the food and it was actually the best we had in the US for our 2 week visit. Really strange this was the case but great sized portions and just really tasty. Will come back if we are ever around there again! Looking back nearly a year on was one of my most memorable days of my 2 week trip to the US.
As massive fans of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and new fans of Wrexham, we HAD to stop at Mac’s Tavern on our trip to Philadelphia. You should know, this is NOT an explicitly Always Sunny bar, nor a Paddy’s Pub recreation. We knew that going in, from reading other reviews. There are a few images of the cast, a mural reproduction of the show’s opening credits, and some Wrexham stuff. Philly sports on every TV, beer specials when any Philly game is on. Food, drink and service were all fine. Sadly, we couldn’t find any Yuck Puddle, or participate in any rounds of Chardee MacDennis: The Game of Games… but it was worth the trip. ;) (Quick tip, the Market street sign that famously appears in the opening credits is only a few steps from Macs Tavern, fans walk over and snap your pics).
The last time I tried to visit Mac's Tavern on a surprise trip it was closed due to COVID (not salmonella as you might assume). This time I was a bit luckier and I was able to try 'Mac's Fries'. It was over the top delicious. Well worth the wait.
Just a short walk from Philly's Independence Hall, it's casual, friendly, and fun. Beer was cold, food was good, conversation interesting, and the whole place was inviting. What more could you ask for? We stopped by because my sons are huge "Sunny" fans and found a great neighborhood place that welcomed us as tourists, had nods to both "Sunny" and Wrexham, and served solid comfort food a step above the usual fried and soggy bar fare I've gotten old eating. Go expecting a neighborhood hangout, not a plastic chain place, and you'll leave smiling. Even the Useless Chick in our group enjoyed it, and Mac's Famous Mac and Cheese was definitely NOT Kraft.
Enjoyed the food and drinks. The bartender was awesome and friendly! My brother and I enjoyed talking with him. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area!
Came here yesterday. The bartender was very friendly and nice. The food was amazing. Got the red and white cutlet and it was amazing. The bartender was the only one working and she was taking care of everyone so we waited a little to get our check but she was doing a great job. Would come again!

This is always the first place I visit whenever I am in the Philly area. The initial pull is of course because it is owned and run by some of the creators of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Anyone who knows me knows that I am absolutely obsessed with that show. To make it even better, the place is crawling with references to the show such as a door marked "pirate" to your right the moment you walk in the front door. Other references include the Chase Utley jersey hanging on the wall. Aside from the fanfare, the food isn't just great... It is phenomenal. I have ordered the most all American basic food items that turned out to be culinary excellence. For example, the other day I ordered a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup pairing to calm my stomach from a long car ride down. I cannot explain in words how blown away I was. The tomato soup was so unbelievably fresh it tasted like someone had just hand picked the tomatoes off the vine, emulsified them, and presented them to me within a 5 minute time frame. Also, not to mention the seasonings used were paired to perfection. I also had a great experience with the staff. I had a great conversation with the manager and we shared a few stories and a laugh. She also suggested adding hot peppers to my grilled cheese and I am so happy I did because it was an incredible addition (I love spicy food). All in all, this restaurant never disappoints. Go here for a very safe option knowing you will leave satisfied no matter what you get. You'll enjoy it even more if you are a Sunny fanatic. Try it Jabronis!
Stopped in at Macs to check it out while in town for a visit. Nice bar, small place so I’m sure it gets packed quickly. We went late afternoon and it was filling up. Nice beer selection including a bunch from 2SP brewing on tap. Thats a local brewery in Aston PA. Didn’t eat so can’t comment on food but will plan that for next time. GO WREXHAM!!
As a fan of It's always sunny in Philadphia I had to stop by! Place looks good, has a couple of touches to give the fans of the show something exciting. We didn't try the food so canno review that. Dropped one star because even though it was a Tuesday evening, place was quite busy and there was only a waitress serving everyone. It was definetely not enough, I felt bad for her, and also, in the end service gets affected as it was a bit slow as she couldn't go any faster, she was working non stop.
