Reviews For McIntyre's North Star

This place was fantastic! The ease of being inside versus outside, the huge TVS, ample space, they knew when to play music and when to turn it off so us sports fans could hear, the drinks were delicious and the waitresses floated around asking everyone if they were okay several times even though there were easily a cpl hundred ppl! I went for a huge boxing match and they accommodated ppl well even letting ppl bring their own chairs to sit in! My only complaint is we ordered two rounds of drinks the first round came up to like 33. The second round we ordered the exact same thing the difference was we ordered from a different bartender and the second time we were charged 53. We told the lady we just ordered the exact same drinks and they were 33 and she very nonchalantly just stared at us like “so what” after a brief stare dwn she dbl checked her receipt and said “actually I didn’t charge yu enough because I charged yu for a single and yu got a dbl soooo” so we just paid and closed out our tab. Not quite sure what that was about but other than that we had a ball!!!

Went to watch the UFC fights on Saturday. I was worried it'd be insanely busy (and it was) but it didn't feel like it. The place is very spacious, they have a huge bar with plenty of bartenders, and I can't think of a better place to watch a sporting event (600-inch TV!). The pizza and pretzels were excellent and very reasonably priced. I'll definitely be going back.

Very very busy for the UT game but drinks were awesome. Hard to get served at the bar, always had to wait a while longer than would be convenient. I think they just need a couple set service stations so you don’t have to try to squeeze between people sitting down so much.

McIntyres by North Star is a dope spot. But the food.... The wings are over priced and look like something from a science experiment. Buy the pizza not the mutulated overpriced untasty wings. Reminds me of unbreaded church’s chicken. I was severely disappointed. But the venue itself is dope!

We've been to McIntyre's southtown location and noticed the 600′′ Massive outdoor LED , at North Star location. Dang it's big! Watch multiple games simultaneously on the indoor video wall,amazing patio- offers both covered & open-air seating with couches & lounge chairs ,SWINGS, high top tables , & picnic tables. Fully stocked bar, huge beer selection, good selection of wine , champagne and whiskey- top shelf. Yummy Kraft cocktails. Huge Mule cocktails-shareable. Game day beer bucket specials & Happy Hour - All day on Mondays & Weekdays until 7pm-2 off all whiskey, 5 on well drinks & Select 22oz domestic draft beer. Wine is 5 on Wednesday's & Sat/Sun 20 Mimosa Carafes. Get on the Rewards & receive discounts. On our second round of beer we used the rewards the same day! Great sound system,when it's packed it's loud inside. Rotating food trucks. We didn't eat here, but heard an hour wait for food. We drank the Guinness 22oz, 8ea. Plenty of free parking & bicycle racks. No kiddos are allowed strictly 21 years old n older, but your dogs are allowed . Service was on point and it was busy packed. Friendly staff.

Such a fun environment! Tv’s everywhere and outside games. Service was amazing. All the servers work together, providing efficient service. Everyone was friendly also. The food options are pretty basic as you can expect for a sports pub. Definitely worth going for the environment alone!
