    I was in this place for approximately 15 seconds before I got hit on.

    (thats a pro)

    I was waiting for someone so I couldn't jump on the opportunity to make new friends

    (con or pro, I guess it depends on how you look at it)

    Anywayzzzzz this place is dope.  Its a lot larger than it looks, actually, and I like how there are a couple different areas to sit in - there's a giant wall of TVs that were playing all sorts of different sports INCLUDING METS classics from 9/11/01 when Pizza hit a BOMB and beat the braves and JETS talk.  You have your choice of stools, the bar, tables, couches,

    diggin it

    we apparently went on Ladies Half Priced drinks so my boy didn't have much of a tab to pick up (there are gentlemen left in the world ladies, they even open the door for you) even though we got two orders of wings and enough beers to fill at least one and a half hands of fingers.

    Note: don't come here with a personal trainer if you want to pig out, they eat their wings slow and its embarassing to be 8 wings ahead of your friend.  With sauce all over your face.  And they expect you to use napkins.  Allegedly the avocado burger is money (I believe the quote was "The Guac is OUT of this WORLD" high praise if you ask me, so I can't vouch for it till I try it)

    I'll be back, count on it.  Maybe even sunday.

    Been here a bunch of times.  Each time I go, it seems (somehow) to get worse and worse.  Last time I visited (maybe final time) the service was terrible.  First waitress came over.  I asked if they had drink specials (Saturday afternoon during College football).  She disappears to find out if they do.  She is gone for a while, then another waitress comes by.  She says "hi how are you?  Can I help you?"  I just looked with amazement.  I said the other waitress was going to check for drink specials, do you have any?  And she replies with such blahness "no".  Just no???!  The food was so boring tasting and the so called 20oz beer seemed like the 16oz.  

    Then I went to the bar with chips I had received from the bar sometime back, for free drinks.  Bartender said she cant accept them any longer.  I asked for her to ask the manager, plus we just had dinner and drinks at table.  The manager said no...then why give them out?!!  If you plan on not accepting them anymore, but expiration dates on them.

    Depending on what you are looking for this might be a good choice, or the worst choice. If you are looking for a place to drink and watch sports, I would probably give it 4 stars.

    However, is claims to be a grill; it is not. Do NOT EAT here. Being that I was on Long Island I thought "why not try the Fish N' Chips?" Since, I live in a landlocked state, I had maybe high expectations, since in Denver (where I live) has exceptional fish n' chips at many different places. Unfortunately, these were the worst ones I have ever had, I literally had to stop eating it. The steak fries were good and the service was good too, which bumped it up to 2 stars.  My coworker ordered the shrimp bisque soup and the short ribs. He said the soup didn't taste like anything and the sauce on the ribs was no good.

    If you do eat here, try to lower your expectations.

    As far as LI bars go this one is pretty fantastic. Definitely a spot to check out. if your around and awesome for watching sports! The back wall of the bar/restaurant is lined with TVs and they play every sporting event. There's outside seating in an enclosed area in front, HUGE comfy leather couches inside and a ton of tables with bar stool seating.

    The service has always been good and the food is so much more than a normal sports bar.  Lots of beer choices and a pretty extensive menu with choices ranging from the normal bar wings and mozzarella sticks to empanadas and beer baked BBQ ribs. MCCANN'S WRAP IS A MUST HAVE. The guacamole is surprisingly Delicious.

    There are also daily specials as follows:

    Happy Hour Specials
    every Monday - Friday 10:00am-7:00pm

    I've been here a couple of time and I usually feel "meh". Apparently that's only 2 stars though and I think it's worth at least 3.

    The food isn't that good. Some of their beers on tap go flat too because of slow turnover. Seating is ... well it's seating. They do have a lot of televisions though and some pool tables in the back.

    I'm sure I'll go here a few more times as it's only a few blocks from my place, but as I'm new to the area, I hope to find something better soon.

    this place is not hidden away, but so many people drive right by it.

    if you're nearby, looking for a drink, or even food. go here.  both are good.  they dont have the largest selection of beer, but its always cold, the help is great, and the atmosphere is great.  the food is surprisingly good too, even if you eat at the bar.

    i used to go every weds to play darts with a few friends. worth trying.

    For a Pub to get FOUR stars, they must be doing something right.  First of all the Steak Quesadilla puts most mexican places to shame, and the place just irradiates "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry"!  

    Bar is awesome, although a bit of a neck-jerker to watch those TV's, but service is great and Taps are good.  More than enough room to move around, play pool, sit at a table on the outskirts of the place or just lounge in the main room.  

    Been heading here for years, and hope to continue as long as they keep their end of the bargain and maintain their composure.

    I am definitely a fan of McCanns.  They just changed up the menu a bit, and they have really great food!  I do have a problem with the servers, they used to be on top of everything when they first opened, now they are all slacking!  I love the bartenders, they are always great!

    McCann's is probably my favorite sports bar on Long Island~  It's big, clean and has a great decor! There are flatscreens EVERYWHERE!!! no matter where you sit you will *always* have a view of a T.V.! The place is very spacious and there is a ton of seating- a loungy area with comfy couches, an area with high tables, a long bar area, outdoor seating etc   GREAT place to watch a game!  They have an extensive menu & the food is affordable and delicious!!  

    Added bonus- they have a room with 2 pool tables and a dartboard area!  I love this place!!

    I met the new girlfriend at this good local place a few doors from her house on Thursday night.  A good selection of beers on tap, a LOT of Tv's (at least 30) and a good selection of decent bar food at reasonable prices.  The seating was comfortable with a bar, lots of little tables and couches and a lounge.  (It's good to be back :)

    McCann's has a lot of tvs.  On those tvs are a lot of sports.  Surrounding those tvs are a lot of men.  

    Single gals, I've hit the jackpot.

    Aside from the fun clientele that consists of teeny boppers out for the first time as well as hardened bar scene veterans, the staff is friendly and helpful.  

    They serve your typical fried bar food into the wee hours and will heap upon you drinks galore.  

    An extra plus: juke box baby!  

    The place also has an outdoors patio area for smokers (I thought smoking was so last decade but apparently not) and people who like the outside.  There's a pool room with two tables and a lounge area with high tables and low couches.  

    Have I mentioned the plethora of single men?  Yes, ladies, I could be selfish and keep em all for myself, but I believe in generosity.  Head on out and have yourself a good time.

    Busy pub with a lot to do.

    My buddies Kris and Kevin apparently use this place as their home away from home.  We all popped in here after work one night for a few cocktails.  We wound up playing darts and pool until the wee hours.  I don't remember much more due to the heavy drinking crowd I was with.  A good time was had by all.

    There is an outdoor patio in front of the place, a lounge area to the right side with cocktail waitress service and the bar, pool tables and darts are to the left.

    The place seemed to be more on the VERY young side but there were enough older people around so I wasn't totally uncomfortable.

    Big parking but beware, lots of cops in the area looking for the drinkers who drive away.

    This is one of those good local bars to go to.  Its not one of those typical bars through since there is a fire place with a lounge area.  

    Nice decor with a lounge, good outdoor seating fairly small bar but has fast service, decent food and good prices.

    I am a huge sports fan and it seems when there is a game I want to watch they are showing it in one of their 30+ TVs.

    This place is consistently excellent. The food is gourmet quality at normal prices. The menu is exciting with many creative but appealing items and nothing overpriced. The drink prices and specials are always a great deal and a great variety. The staff are so attentive that I always feel like a VIP when I visit. The decor is a perfect mix of classy and comfortable without being trendy and there is a great mix of different types of comfy spaces to hang out, so it never feels too crowded or closed in, except perhaps by the bar, where it always seems to be busy. For sports fans, they have tons of HD TV's on the walls and behind the bar. The jukebox is a lot of fun as it lets you pick from a wide variety of songs to play. McCann's  is consistently a high level experience every time I go. Lots of fun. Very nice, down to Earth people seem to hang out there a lot. It's a great come as you are type scene. Great place to make new friends or meet up with old friends.

    Massapequa's finest.

    Busy,  crowded, noisy, and fun....everything a cool sports bar should be. If you are from the area, it may be like a reunion... people seem to flock to this place like seaguls along the ocean shore. But if you don't mind that, it's pretty chill.

    Plus the abundance of TV's is a nice touch. They can have like 40 different things on  b/c they have hundreds of TVs, so you'll always have something to keep you entertained.  It's a good place to go with friends, and then pretend like your watching TV when your friend's annoying g/f starts talking.

    It's usually a diverse crowd with different age groups, mostly mid 20's though, especially on weekends.  

    AND they allow hats- which is a must for balding men like myself.

    - Lotsa beer specials.
    - NTN trivia is super fun.
    - Can always find a seat.
    - Staff is really nice.
    - TONS of TVs that the really nice staff will change to whatever you want if you ask.

    This place is great!

    Great staff!  Friendly, attentive, and after a few visits, they make you feel like a member of the 'family.'  All that to say it has all the best qualities
    of a public house.  Not to mention the reasonably priced pitches of local brew on tap, and, for me, the best turkey burger I've had anywhere.  In fact, the turkey burger is not as widely available as one would think, and for those of us less inclined to eat beef, McCann's is an oasis!

    Being one of my local haunts, this place is great.  It basically has everything you want in  a sports bar pub and grill.  Nice, clean  decor (about a bazillion flatscreens, an area with comfortable lounge seating, a pool room, darts, outdoor seating, a great staff (turnover is ridiculously low), friendly and professional doormen and security, a great menu prepared very well, clean bathrooms and a colossal drink selection.)  An absolutely perfect place to watch any sporting event.  I very much enjoy football sunday because the energy is great with people ranging in age from 7 (obviously with parents) to 70.  That's right, you can bring your grandparents down for football sunday.  You can also call ahead and reserve a table or sofa.

    Although I rarely go here after 9pm anymore, friday and saturday nights are typically in the 21-30 age group and very crowded. At all other times, you can get every age.  You could even do an informal business lunch here no problem. I've met the owner, Paul, several times and was impressed by his concern for the happiness of his clientele and employees.  Let them call you a cab if you had too many.

    Went to McCann's for the Friday happy hour.  It was just as advertised with free chicken tenders, wings and Mozzarella sticks.  The place is really nice inside.  Great selection of TV's.  I would definitely catch a Football game here.  Servers and patrons were friendly.  Good selection of cold beer.  A little lacking in the local micro brew selection.  Nice outside seating area.

    This is a pretty good sports bar.

    The TVs have a dizzying effect.  The outdoor seating is great in the summer when I'm watching UFC with my bros.  There's a good attitude here, no posturing, no "scene", just guys wanting to watch a sporting event with alcohol who don't feel like ordering pay-per-view.

    That being said, there isn't much out of the ordinary here.  The beer and the food menu is standard to above average, and the service is average.  The UFC events and some ridiculous deal with a TV distributor they must have is the saving grace of this bar.

    I imagine the place is dead on a weekday if there is no playoff game in any sport.

    It's all been said but bears repeating, great happy hour and tasty food.  Two pool tables.  Smoking area with actual seating, not that smokers should be allowed any comfort these days, but you know, it's a nice change of pace.  Service is very good, employees are friendly.

    I'm in my 30's and only feel slightly out of place late night...but in general ages are all over the place.  Crowd can tend towards "typical Long Island" but I don't hate it.  

    Don't hate me for saying it, you know it's true.

    Best bar in all of LI to view a UFC event.  They don't charge a cover and if anything (for more popular fights when it's packed), they charge $10 as a two drink minimum.  But their beers are all $4-5 anyway, so no money lost.  The best is in the warmer months when they rope off part of the parking lot and everyone outside can watch on the several flat screen TV's they have on the porch area.  When I do that, I don't even have to go inside to the bar since they have waitresses coming around taking drink orders.

    They also have a great happy hour and good bar food.  It's probably not my type of place to go on a Friday or Saturday night, but their happy hour and free UFC (and boxing) PPV events alone earn it 4 stars.  Now I'm in Astoria, so I occasionally stop by the Astoria McCann's for a PPV (though it's WAY smaller, so not quite as good).
