When McGoff's first came to town I was very excited. I wasn't 21 yet, but I was looking forward to going there when I did because I had heard they had great beer, music, food, etc. I was quite disappointed when I went there on my 21st and had to beg the staff to play 1 Irish song!!! They were playing typical classic rock. Next, the place is peppered with Miller Lite signs. I don't know, its a nice bar, but frustrating at the same time. They do have really great beer from all over the world, and decent food, but it is a college town-ified Irish pub. It makes too many compromises. It also seems to be very cliquey. It seems like everyone there knows each other and has no interest in non-regulars. I have seen good live bands there, but very rarely have I heard much Irish music.
Pros: great beer, live music, good service
Cons: small, not very Irish, weird atmosphere
