My sister-in-law was hungry for some good ole fish n chips and the local salon that we went to suggested this place. She liked her fish but small portions, great cole slaw and she loved the flavored tea. I had a simple club sandwich which no one can get wrong. It's a regular pub setting, nice and clean and great...

How awesome is this place?!?!? This is a true Irish restaurant from the decorations (even the curtains!), the live band that was playing, and of course, the food! The Guiness Pie is amazing! The Irish Nacho's are also awesome! Glad we found this place!! More

Had an extraordinarily fun time at McNamara's last night! Very good food, excellent service, and outstanding entertainment! I would recommend this as the best Irish Pub outside of Ireland! More

My husband and I went here this past weekend. I've been telling him what a great place it was, and we were disappointed. Prior visits have been after work, and I've had a great time with co-workers. Cons: 1. We walked in around 6 pm on a Saturday. It was busy but the main room (where the live music is)... More

I've never had a bad word to say about this place. Nosey Flynn performs several nights a week. Being that Sean McNamara is both an owner and part of Nosey Flynn, you are assured to have a quality time More

Went to Mcnamaras Dec. 10 weekend while in Nashville. Called in reservations twenty minutes ahead and was seated as soon as we alked in. Our waitress was very nice and knew the menu well, she suggested the deep fried boiled eggs on the apps, which to my surprise were very good. My wife had the corned beef and cabbage and... More

We just returned from taking the In-Laws to Nashville for some of the Christmas events. On the first night, we went to McNamara's and had a fantastic meal. I had the Lamb tenderloin special, which was cooked perfectly to my taste. The sides were very good as well. My wife had the reuben, and was very pleased! My in-laws had... More
