Across the street from the Orleans, McMullan's is an Irish pub that pivots around a corner so that there's a dedicated space for smokers and video poker players, as well as a non-smoking bar and dining room.
Service was friendly (the kid didn't stop smiling the whole time we were there), just attentive enough and the atmosphere is a welcome respite from the brutal desert sun - dark, welcoming, cozy.
I ordered Ann's Blackened Chicken Salad, which was boldly flavorful, topped with crispy onion straws and vegetables like red peppers and corn in addition to more traditional salad accoutrements. The Creole mustard dressing was superb.
Definitely want to go back here again, the menu seems a lot more tempting than your usual video poker pub.
