McNulty’s Pub

This is a fun place to visit whenever I’m at my boyfriend’s house in Cleveland Heights. There are a bunch of tables, silly pop music with space to dance, a decent beer selection, and friendly bartenders. There are a lot of college kids and fratty twenty-​somethings around, but it’s a decent place to spend a few hours. I wouldn’t go here to drink and chat with friends; I think it’s better in the later hours when you just want a drink, and are feeling tipsy enough to sing along to crappy music with your friends. It’s nothing special, but sometimes that’s all I need!

I’ve ended up here a couple of times recently, and it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it. So I’m giving it another star. The cheap drinks and dancing almost make up for everything else.

Very interesting spot next to the concert venue since they allow homeless people in to hand around. Overall the place was dead and the prices for beer and shots were average.

I’ve only been here a couple of times, but the prices are right and sometimes the atmosphere is exactly what I’m looking for. People actually dance here, which is nice, especially when I’m going out to dance. Nothing has really turned me off of this place, so it’s likely I’ll return at some point, but it’s just not my favorite.

Unless you’re in the mood for being bumped every five minutes by every jock on the football team or hearing «this is my song» screamed in your ear, I’d say pass. I would never sample the food here as it doesn’t necessarily seem like the cleanest kept place. Many other bars around that are much cleaner, have better service, and are worth the time of trying to get a drink in the area…

Horrific, filthy — mostly empty on Valentine’s Day! — and far from having college kids around drinking beer, it was full of nasty crazy drunks… the kind you would mostly find at passed out in a gutter, or in the City Mission. I mean, the kind who spend the evening screaming «I’m going to KILL THEM ALL!»
It’s cheap, but the food part is nearly non-​existent. Must just have a menu for «show» or because of liquor laws that they must have food. We waited TWO HOURS for two burned burgers on stale buns, no water, no menu, no silverware, no napkins, chipped plates and filthy bathrooms. The few patrons were riled up because their food orders were not being filled, even HOURS after they had ordered (and pre-​paid).
And yes, it seemed the sole «cook» running the frylator and the bartender were drunk, and totally distracted on their cellphones.
It is BEYOND HORRIBLE, even if the drinks are cheap — I’m sure about 100 health code violations, nasty drunks, dirty, awful food, non-​existent service, sticky tables and floors. Also it was FREEZING COLD.
Weird, because Coventry is a laid back area of grad students and young professionals — and there are plenty of nice bars and hangouts, including a WInking Lizard just steps away (which were all PACKED on V-​day).
We had a coupon from
, and never heard of this place, and stupidly thought it was an actual pub. NOT.
Avoid, AVOID… AVOID. Also, I am pretty sure this pathetic place is in the last stages before just closing down entirely, from lack of business or health code violations.

This place has good nights and bad nights. But no matter how many or how few people are there the service is always slow. The only upside is they have great happy hour deals.

This bar has an ambiance of zero and is constantly swarmed with college kids, frat boys, Cleveland Heights-​area alkies, really young-​looking people as well as other random characters.
BUT, who cares about ANY of this when:
you order a Stoli and tonic, Absolut and cranberry, 3 jagerbombs and a Modelo and pay $ 22. $ 22!!!
Also, note that the bartender was clearly drunk, high or both and was straight free pourin’.
So, my God! The place is hard NOT to love!

My friend wanted to check out Coventry last weekend. So we did. We ended up going in this place. Does everyone on the eastside wear those nerd frame glasses like Paul Pfeifer from the Wonder Years? Even the chicks did. Either way, I started talking to a really sweet girl from West Virginia. I asked her if she knew who The Dancing Outlaw Jesco White is, she said «Yeah, he is a friend of the family. He is from Boone County though. I think he gives West Virginians a bad name.» I couldn’t have disagreed with her anymore. That really made my night and probably changed my opinion on the place. In all reality, it is probably a two star bar.

McFucky’s. Yup that is what I call it. If you have been here you understand. I have had a long affair with this place. It was once a pretty good restaurant. One thing that remains consistent, Cheap booze. Always some special so you can get hammered.
Lets create a list:
1. Cheap booze
2. College kids.
3. Cleveland Hts alcoholics.
4. Old weird dudes
5. Cheap booze.
6. Contingents of Ghetto Fab
7. Frat Boyz
8. Fake ID’s
9. Debauchery
10. Cheap Booze
11. Steel encased mens bathroom
12. Multiple town drunks
13. Degenerates
14. Crunk
I think your starting to get the picture. It is what it is. I have had many good times, bad times, and blasted times here. I went back there this past weekend. I did not get blasted but had a good time. Somethings never change and this place is not an exception. When my buddy and I walked in the guy made a point of not asking us for ID, but my friend showed it anyway, what the fuck is up with that Kevin. I ended up talking to a really good looking girl that was hanging with her gays. I almost gave her my business card but I could tell she was one of those girls who really likes cheap booze and hanging with her gays. I have a deep appreciation for gays! But most women who surround them selves with gay dudes tend to be a bit much into drama for me! My ex was kind of like that :) Sorry I’m too old for drama. Enough about that. One thing that really impresses me is when a bar has a steel encased mens bathroom. It looked like it could stand up to a IED. I have only seen one other bar like that.
As for the food. I had burger here and it was pretty good. I usually hold out and get a slice or two from guys pizza.
So if you want to get like totally CRUNKED in Coventry, this, my friend, is the establishment for you! When you wake up at 12pm the next day and you realize you only spent 15 bucks the night before there is only one thing left to do and that is to smile, smile smile and drink a really big glass of water!

Great draft selection over 20 including micro bees and imports!, good deals, awesome pizza. Bartender were fast and nice even with a bar full of people. Will go again

Here’s the litmus test to determine whether you will appreciate McNulty’s:
1. Are you a frat dude?
2. Are you underage?
3. Are you a creepy old guy looking to pick up someone underage?
If you answered Yes to any of the above questions, McNulty’s is for you. If not, stick to the much better bars on Coventry.

I don’t know how this place stays in business. I came here twice and both times I was ignored by the bar maid (two different ones) who spent more time flirting with their boyfriends than waiting on customers. When I was finally served they had this attitude like I was annoying them. The clientele is mainly obnoxious drunk frat boys looking for a fight. Stay away.

Good place if you want a bunch of drunken goons trying to fight you for looking in their direction.

I drank my way through my post-​graduation career here. On week nights and on weekends before nine or ten, this place is usually awesome. The bartenders were always attentive and fun. The food is cheap and tasty, as bar food goes. The drink specials are perfect for anyone on a budget.
On the weekends, though, well, let’s just say I came up with the idea for Douche Bingo.

McNulty’s, as of September 2008, is under new management. No more table service, limited (crappy) menu, price hike on beer… and the worst part, the cozy booths have been pushed out of the way to make room for cornhole and beer pong. Ugh. What’s worse, this used t o be my favorite little neighborhood pub. What a shame.

I must say I had a love affair with McNulty’s in college. As stated by Alan L. Bad Idea Tuesdays were possibly my favorite day of the week. Especially when Great Lakes Christmas Ale comes out, and you can get an entire pitcher for $ 5 as opposed to getting a bottle of it at any other bar for $ 4.50; it is quite the deal.
McNultys new promotion is 5 Cherry bombs for $ 5 on Thursday nights, when all of the John Carroll and Case kids decide to go out and play. It is a good deal and they actually make them with real cherry vodka and red bull, as opposed to other bars that run this special.
If you like dancing but don’t feel like going downtown, McNulty’s is an option. The DJ’s tend to play pretty decent dance music, however you may be one of the only people dancing up on the stage.
If you are not in college, don’t go here on Thursday night, I have done it a couple of times since I graduated, and it was not worth it. I would wait for the weekend.

3 words — Bad Idea Tuesday
tuesdays they have $ 5 pitchers of any of the 20+ beers on tap.
my friends and I deemed this B.I.T., because nobody needs to go out on tuesday, but with a deal like that… how can you not?
that being said, my gpa would have been somewhat higher if this place did not exist. awesome place to hang out during the week, but gets rather rowdy and fratty thur — sat.
they also have $ 1 slices of pizza, friendly bouncers, cooks, and everyone else except for the one snobby bartender with fake breasts.
go on a tuesday — you will thank me.
