McNallys

Had a pizza and a few beers, pretty darn good! Make sure you tell Kenny the bartender hi!

Best Pizza ever!

Kenny was great! Gladiator shots are not my favorite but, if you swap out the red wine for pinot grigio… it’s delicious! Oh, and grab an order of cheese sticks with pepper jack and blue cheese. You can thank me later!

The deep dish Pizza was awesome. Soft drinks had a funny taste until we unrealized the drinks were coming from the bar. It was grenadine syrup.
Waiter was very good and the atmosphere was a pub.
It was by far the best deep dish pizza I’ve had in Columbia.

Decent dive bar. $ 1 Draft beers on Mondays. Wise Guys Pizza resides in the same building (arguably the best pizza in Columbia). What’s not to love?

The old Godfathers Pizza building, reborn into a nice little Irish pub. Healthy drinks that are reasonably priced. Dive bar right in!

Okay, so I really don’t want to rag on McNally’s. I like that it’s divey and I like the crowd here. Bartenders and food have always been great, but I have noticed a continuous lack of decent service from the wait staff. This has been observed over a dozen visits but I’ll share two from the last few months.
One occasion it was afternoon and there were a few people there but not what I’d call busy. Friends and I sat down and after 10 – 15 minutes of no service, I went up to the bar to get drinks. 10 more minutes pass with no service (waitresses are walking past us constantly) so I go up to the bar and ask for a menu. Still no table service. 10 – 15 more minutes pass (we’ve been there probably 45 minutes at this point) I go up to the bar, return the menu and told the bartender we were going to Billiards due to not getting any service in almost an hour. She smiled and nodded untroubled by the turn of events.
Second notable instance: New Years Eve/​Morning I went to join some friends at around 12:20 am. Yes the bar was packed. It looked like our waitress was closing out a lot of tabs. I sat down and about 15 minutes later she made it to our table and I asked for a draft beer. After that, Nothing. We were all completely forgotten about. Finally 20 – 30 minutes later I went up to the bar and was helped immediately. My friends had to make their way up to the bar to pay their food and drink tabs as well.
Both instances, I was eager and willing to spend more time and money at the bar, but received terrible service. I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll keep going on occasion as long as I make sure to go up to the bar for drinks and eat before I arrive.

I’ve not eaten here, but I have visited and had a couple of drinks. It’s about what you would expect from a dive bar — noisy, dimly lit, etc — but they do seem to have great drink options and a helpful staff. If I were going out with friends and just wanted to chat in a busy atmosphere, I would choose McNally’s.

Can’t say better things about McNallys. The service is by FAR the best in town, the beer prices are good, the food is great. Darts, foosball and pool that’s almost always free. Only stay away if you’re into Greek life settings.

Visited a friend in Columbia and he took me here. We ended up staying for about 6 hours! The bar has a great vibe, excellent bar service (thanks Jay and Megan), tasty drinks that are well-​priced, and the affiliated pizza place makes *delicious* food. Wish I had a place like this more local to me.

I’ve found myself at McNally’s a few times now, but this review refers to a particularly hazy evening there in the recent past.

McNally’s saved my life! A group of 10 of us barged through the door after 9pm on Saturday night. The wings place had been closed for hours, and we were getting hungry and thirsty.
Our not-​so-​quiet group surrounded a table, ordered, a bunch of pitchers, and then called for two 20-​inch pizzas from Wiseguys. We ate. We drank. We gave toasts. Our server Ginny was a great spirit through the whole thing.
The foosball table is legit, too. It’s a three-​back set up, but it plays clean and I was on fire too. Something about the wonderful greasyness of the pizza that made my hands become one with the handles. Poetry.
Minus-​1 star for teasing me with a cig machine, but then it not accepting any of my $ 1 bills. There’s a slight chance it was my fault…
Go here if you want a slightly dark, low-​cost bar with good people working in front and behind the bar. $ 1 Killians on Mondays is a nice touch too.

Best Bartender around! Great pizza, love the Dublin, good crown and enjoyable atmosphere!

Nice little bar. Sorta dive-​y, no cover and can get super crowded on weekends, during sporting events, late at night, Mondays, etc. Good drink specials ($ 1 Coors Light/Killian’s on Mondays) and some of the strongest drinks in town. They also have pizza, Foosball and pool, in case your table conversation is lacking.
Oh, and did I mention the drinks? Strongest ones in town, I swear.
Not sure about the other reviews that say bring cash. Never had any problems paying with a credit card.

McNally’s is a laid-​back bar and a great place to get drinks in Columbia. They have $ 1 pints of Coors or Killians on Mondays, which caused my friends and I to rename Mondays «McNally’s Mondays» because guess where we would be? They don’t charge a cover, they have pool tables, and they have servers who keep the drinks coming if you don’t want to get up to wait at the bar.
The crowd on some nights can really grow, so if you want a table it’s a good idea to get there early. And, like other reviewers have said, bring cash!

Really great place to just sit back and have a drink. Classic rock music playing in the background and nice laid-​back vibe to the crowd. Food was better than usual for a bar. Fun.

McNally’s is attached to Wise Guy’s pizza and also serves various bar food. For this reason it looks sort of like a restaurant inside (lots of tables /​booths). There is an area with one pool table and a patio to smoke on.
The beer selection will not impress anyone who is into beer. Just your standard fare. Mondays are $ 1 beer nights (Coors /​Killians). I’d rate this place a 3 but Kenny is the fastest, friendliest bartender in town so I just can’t do less than a 4.

Great place for drinks with friends, no long lines or a cover charge. Just good beer and drinks for cheap. Monday’s are awesome with $ 1 pints of Killians. Saturdays are $ 2.50 pints of Boulevard.
Can also order pizza from Wise Guys next door, great for late night food and drinks.
Kenny and Jay are awesome bartenders, always friendly, will remember your name and provide great service.
FYI Credit Cards are a $ 5 minimum, so bring cash and tip well!

McNally’s Mondays are what first brought me to this bar. On Mondays Killians and Coors are one dollar pours. They have a pretty good pizza place in the back too (Wiseguys). It’s low-​key most nights and never standing room only packed. Kind of an odd crowd sometimes too. One night I swore there were some 12 year olds in a booth in the back, someone said they were in a band. I’m still not sure why that makes it OK.
If you want a real Irish pub, however, you should drive down to Jeff City and check out Paddy Malone’s. Guinness done the right way and Harp on tap too.

Pretty standard, really. If you’ve been to an Irish pub in America, well, you know the drill.
But it’s our go-​to spot for those hanging-​out-​not-​partying nights. The bartenders are nice, and you never have to wait very long to get a drink. No cider on tap; they only have canned Strongbow.
Lots of booths and seating, but it gets more and more crowded as the night goes on. Pool table in the back, too.
$ 5.00 minimum for credit cards so bring that cash.

When I lived in Columbia this was one of my regualr watering holes. The staff cannot be beat. Kenny the bartender is considered by many to be the best in town.
They have a so-​so selection of beers, but some of the heaviest pours in town when it comes to cocktails.
The crowd changes as the night gets later. from local professionals, grad students and professors during happy hour to the full student crowd in the hours before last call.
The food is your standard pub grub, nothing too fancy. I recommend the Guiness cheese dip or the cheese sticks, both are good deals and both are delicious.
I have had many good times at this place really miss it now that I am out here in California.
