Seems to be more of a sports bar than Irish Pub, I think.
But they're not lying about having some crazy (hot) bartenders.
The food (burgers) weren't bad either.
I roll in to McFaddens after learning the Tilted Kilt is no longer in the Rio. I have to say I was sorely disappointed by the service--they were out of Guinness--how can an Irish pub not have Guinness? They were also out of a few entree selections and what we got was edible, but not particularly tasty.
It was just okay. Servers were nice, but the food was mediocre.
The Irish nachos were made with movie theater cheese instead of real cheese. The shepherd's pie tasted funny, so we sent it back. My burger was not bad.
THE PIZZA WAS HORRIBLE! I never waste food, but i couldn't force myself to take another bite.
Bottom Line : Just go for the booze and the quasi-hooter girls.
We came here as a alternative to the Seafood Buffet that opens after 3:30pm. Watching Hells Kitchen my man and I wanted to try the "Pie". So we ordered a Shepards pie and Mac and Cheese Bites triangular deep fried with what I think is used for their Fish&Chips batter (I totally didnt read and thought we would get a hot bowl of homemade Mac&Cheese)
Shepards pie was quite oily and the Mac bite didnt do anything for me. Apparently food is not the highlight for this restaurant bar/club. (Is it ever?)
Not a very authentic Irish Pub, but then again I have never ever been to Ireland, so what do I know about real Irish Pubs? What I can do is compare McFadden's to other Pubs that I have been to, and all I can say is, meh. I would not even call this place a pub at all. Heck, they don't even refer to themselves as a Pub. The restaurants actual name is McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon. Isn't Saloon an old west term?
My Girfriend and I visted this place on a Thurs. night. They had the whole dueling piano thing going on that night and later on they had what they called a "White Trash Bash". $1000 went to the girl they crowned Miss White Trash. We were not interested and left after we finished our meal. Speaking of meals. Their menu included things like pizza, pasta primavera, shepard's pie, egg plant parmesan, St. Louis BBQ ribs, burgers and a Reuben sandwich. I had the Reuben, which was good, but flat like a panini sandwich. It came with shoe string fries that were obviously straight from the freezer. My Girlfriend had the Pasta Primevera. Pasta Primevera in what suppose to be a Irish restaurant? She did enjoy it though. The penne pasta was tossed with garden vegetables, a heavy amount of marinara sauce and garlic bread on the side.
I'm gonna have to give this place 2 stars because, "Meh, I've experienced better". We were looking for Irish and what we got was a complete poser pub that served Italian. Italian?
Not your normal Irishbar that I am used to but still a pretty cool place to check out. They had $5 Bloody Marys on the night I came. It was a Sunday Night. We ended up having dinner here and ordered the Fish and Chips, Shepard's Pie and some boneless buffalo strips...
The portions were huge! The prices were fair for a Vegas establishment though I would have still liked to pay a little less for pub food.
There was a piano singer during dinner which was nice... And then they had a lot of flyers for some special nights they had, which made it seem like a college hangout on most nights here.
Seems like a perfect place for Keg Guys who want to PARTY.......
How can you beat dueling pianos?
OK, they weren't "dueling", more like dueting, but it was quality, fun entertainment. I expected it to be cheesy, but it was two younger guys who had fun with the cheese!
Oh yeah, and there was food. And it was good. The service was incredibly slow, and the food was just OK. I was hoping for a better selection, but if you're into typical Irish pub food and oogling some Hooter's-like waitresses with a good selection of beer, this is your place. It's right in the Mardi Gras area where they have the show in the sky, so every 20 minutes or so you get that shenanigan going on outside.
But you didn't go to Vegas for a nice, quiet meal and conversation, did you?
McFadden's has the same redeeming qualities that an good pub should have:
+pretty bartenders
+beer pong
+DJ
+you can dance on the bar
my friend kip dragged me here one night. he said, free drinks for ladies. he only had to say the first word and i was already zooming out my door. i guess, they have free drinks for ladies on thursday nights? i would double check that.
as soon as we got there, i was handed a red cup and told i could have it filled with either beer or whatever well drink i wanted. all night long. nice... although, i loved the free alcohol thing about this place, i wasn't sure about the ambience. i suddenly felt like i was transported back to omaha. they had beer pong competitions going on on one side of the room and flippy cup on the other. and in between those, they had girls getting up on the bar entering into girl on girl makeout contests. this is vegas. not the midwest. don't we have other things to do to entertain ourselves!?! this would be a good place to start off and get drunk at. then get the hell out of there and move along to a better spot!!!
against my will, i got pushed into playing flippy cup. which our team won. five times in a row. because i'm awesome. at everything i'm at. we were winning until kip messed it up. then i insisted that we leave. and that we did. but at least i left with a full cup of rum and diet coke!
Never again! Limited beer selection, bad design and awful food! Oh and it's pricey. We got the Irish nachos. They used Movie theater cheese. No kidding.
If you are this close to McMullan's on Trop, just go there. It's a real pub with real food and real beer selection. Get their Irish nachos (or anything else). It's all great.
I love this place. Every time I stay at the Rio, my bar of choice is McFaddens. I'm not a big club guy anymore, and this is more of my kinda scene. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very good. It get's a little crazy in there from time to time and it's a blast. I have a good to great time at McFaddens every time I go in there to drink. I recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a fun night out.
One of our stores is right near McFaddens in the Rio Las Vegas, so I went to McFaddens for lunch or dinner a few times while working on our Rio store. I tried a few sandwiches, and some wings. The food was good, I had never eaten at the McFaddens in Chicago (only went to drink) yet was surprised at the food in Las Vegas. For bar food it was pretty good. The wings aren't too good since I had the "hot" and it was more like mild to me (yet I love hot food). I would advice to stick to the sandwiches and burgers.
I visited their booth at the BITE of Las VEgas so it was a pretty limited menu but it was real damn good Green Fried Tomatoes w/Shrimp Remoulade for $5. I dont usually go to the RIO but I may make an exception.
My brother really enjoyed the Lucky Charm girls, who wore fishnets, little green outfits, and gave out free drink tickets at the WSOP.
We ate here a couple times because with a group you can order a pizza or something and split the food and put back some drinks for about as cheap as you're going to find it.
Stopped there for lunch, and had an absolutely fantastic burger. Service was a little slow, but the food was top notch (well.. as top notch as you get for like $15 inside a casino). I would happily eat there again.
We loved this place! We went here last week Tuesday and it happened to be karaoke night. The food was okay. I had the chicken caesar wrap. You can't really mess up making those. Big portions, came with fries and was about $10. My husband had the 12 oz. new york strip steak and it was really good. It came with veggies and huge portion of awesome garlic mashed potatoes. That was about $23. Typical bar food. The new bartender didn't know how to make a margarita. I think it was only a 10oz cup and it was $9. The server was cool. She was getting mad that the bartender couldn't make drinks. She even suggested that I get a new one. She also told us to not waste our money on the fish bowl drink, because it's mostly made of mixes and barely any alcohol. We really appreciated the honesty. We had so much fun here though because of the crowd that was there. Everyone by the end of the night was drunk and belting out bar songs like Journey, Guns& Roses, Def leppard, and etc.
We went here on a Tuesday eve, had no trouble getting in at 7:30 PM. Our waitress was quick and efficient, for the most part. I wasn't all that hungry so I ordered an app as a meal. Chicken tenders. 5 or 6 chicken tenders arrived... hot and tasty. With bbq & honey mustard sauces. And a few carrot/celery sticks. Nice touch. Service was pretty quick. My dad got the turkey club, and it was sizable and came with a ton of fries. My brother in law got the fish and chips, and it came with 4 pieces of fish and lots of fries. My sister ordered the Irish nachos, and those were again a very hefty order (basically potato chips with cheese, bacon, & onions). Overall, satisfying, good value. Nothing that totally wowed ANY of us, but we were happy with the portions and prices. And the location? Great. Right in Masquerade Village @ the Rio. Caught the free shuttle next to Paris. We were staying at Planet Hollywood.
