| - I've never posted a review on these kinds of sites before, but after last night's service I kind of felt compelled. Decided to grab a quick pint with a group of four, and McLean's was closest and the least busy in the area.
I should preface this by saying that I'm partial to older/dirtier/cheaper bars, so the atmosphere, grimy tables, and televisions that were set to a volume that made the chair next to me bleed didn't bother me in the slightest. I had been there once before; I knew what I was getting in to.
My issue was being made to wait for half an hour for less than an ounce of whiskey. I would have gladly gone up to the bar and ordered it myself if it weren't for the fact that the waitress promptly disappeared after taking our order (she could sometimes be seen behind the bar or chatting with regulars before once again slipping into the back).
When our drinks finally came, they were watered down and lukewarm. Even with the ice melted into my drink, it was barely two sips until the glass was empty. Then came the bill: A whopping $9.50 for a child sized whiskey, despite the fact the menu stated that premium liquor was $6.04. Before I could ask the waitress about it, she curtly said 'thanks guys' and disappeared again.
Tl;dr: Terrible service, watered-down drinks, and exorbitant prices= A bad time.
