McKibbins is the kind of place you go to when you want to sit and drink a pint or two and just relax. The space is dark yet welcoming, with lots of corners. The list of draft beers is extensive. The food menu has lots of choices and is consistently good. While the fish and chips is not the absolute most amazing fish and chips I've ever had, it's still excellent, and a far cry from the so-so fish and chips most places try to pass off.
McKibbons is my choice when I want comfort food and good beer.
