Mc Kinney Avenue Tavern

My neighborhood cheers!. . The MAT is an amazing place to hang out. People are nice and the staff is great. There is only one male bartender who is a complete a**hole. I wont mention any names, but his name starts with M. This guy will give you an attitude if you ask for extra ice! Avoid the place while he bartends, you will not have a good experience. Everyone else is amazing!!…

BEST sports bar. After reading some of these reviews, I have to laugh. People rate this place bad because service was a little slow when they were twice their capacity? I have seen this place standing room only and just like you can't walk through the aisle, neither can the waitresses! Cut them some slack. Most people are rude and never give them room to walk by, either! I have had pretty bad service there before when there was just no excuse, but I think they got rid of those girls because in the last few months service has been great. And expensive beer? Their alcohol prices are normal and slightly cheaper than respective places in the area. And their food is great! I would like to know what the person was eating who posted about the food being bad. I have never had an issue with the food I ordered.

Granted, this is Uptown...you are likely to get some snooty person who expects to be treated like royalty at a sports bar for their super-worthy 10% tip. If you like going to a place where the waitstaff is very attractive, very friendly, and the atmoshpere is very chill and non-corporate, then this is the place for you! If you want someone to refill your water before it's even empty and have issues with food being served in wax-paper baskets...then this is NOT the place for you.…

Great Bar, Great Food, Great People.... Fantastic place to hang out and watch uptown go by. I frequent the MAT, as people in uptown know this bar, and I would have to vehemently disagree with the previous reviewer about the food. The burgers are huge, I 'm a big eater, and I usually can't finish one, and they're fantastic. They do good food, not gourmet, and they do it big. Where else can you get a pizza with unlimited toppings for one price? We did weekend brunch there this past Saturday, and the food was fantastic, and as a bonus it's all you can eat! The Migas were some of the best I've had, and we'll be back again this weekend.

Service can be slow on days when 300 people are packed into a place designed for 150, but there's a reason people love to pack this place out. The waitresses are hot, and helpful, the bartenders are also great. Get to know them, and they'll remember you and treat you like "Norm" on Cheers. It's nice to be treated like a regular, even when you only come in a couple of times a month.

If you like beer, they have a pretty good draft selection, not just the usual stuff, and their prices are in line with, or lower than some of the other places in Uptown. It sounds like the previous two reviewers had a bad day or something when they went. The MAT is one of our stops in Uptown, and it will continue to be. I hope the other reviewers will give it another chance, and realize what a great place it really is, heck, find me and I'll buy you a beer!…
