Mcbride's Pub

Amazing drinks, good friendly laid back staff despite being busy. However, because they don't have enough staff, we never got refills on our water and the tables were missing seasoning and napkins. Food also took almost 45 minutes to come out. It's clear they need another person or two helping around. The biggest downside and the reason this isn't 4-5 stars however is, the food was bland, absolutely bland. It was clear from 4 different dishes that not even salt or pepper was used on any of it. I literally took pieces of food off and visually inspected - nothing. Plain potatoes. Plain corned beef. Plain nachos... plain everything. Instead, oddly, every single dish came with parsley and sour cream, as if that'll do anything. They have some really unique foods too but it could be so much better. I ended up dumping salt, pepper, and hot sauce on all my food to make it palatable. Lastly, all the dishes seemed a tad pricey. Perhaps it's the location? Still, if I pass by again, perhaps I'd stop in, especially for their unique tasty drinks. Then again, there's so many Irish places in town that simply have better tasting food.
