Mac’s

Just wanted to check in again. I had a great Friday night at Mac’s last weekend. This time it was much busier, giving a different atmosphere. Lots of great cocktail and beer options. No complaints. This would be my recommendation to any young out of towner who want a decent cocktail and doesnt mind paying Detroit prices.

If you’re looking for bartenders that know how to make a drink and a chef that knows how to cook, look no further than Mac’s. Outstanding Manhattans made with carpano antica vermouth. We had crawfish sausage chowder (seasoned perfectly) and the pork steak. Who does pork steak? They do and perfectly with the mushrooms sautéed in red wine. Treat yourself and stop in.

Glad to see that all of the issues got worked out! I may have had the best pasta I’ve ever had in my entire life tonight. The drinks are always superb and the staff is back to being top-​notch. Proud to say that Mac’s is right down the road.

I’ve been to Mac’s three times now and every time the cocktails have been well executed and tasted great. The atmosphere was great; dark & cozy.
On the other hand (the reason for the 3 stars), the service was incredibly slow. Two of us were sitting at the bar when it had at most seven people in it and the two bartenders walked past us multiple times before taking out drink orders. We were never checked on and had to ask for a second round. We finally left due to the slow service. While craft cocktails take longer to prepare, the wait time was beyond an acceptable timeline.
The prices were a bit on the high side. The prices were more in line with Ann Arbor/​Metro Detroit craft cocktail places, not Saginaw.
Despite the slow service that hasn’t improved, the cocktails & atmosphere make up for it. This place is a great addition to Old Town Saginaw and something different from the rest of the market.
