Whoever wrote the first review is obviously someone that can't wait for more than one minute to get served, and is overly insecure in crowds. This is a place that is in my neighborhood, and even though I have never been a "regular", I was always treated with respect, from day ONE. The place is REALLY NICE inside, including SIX or more flat screen TVs with different channels playing at all times(for those with short attention spans like me, heh), a skeeball machine, an arcade basketball game, electronic darts(that you can play without paying if you wish, as they leave out a gallon size ziploc full of darts), two other flat screens in the next room, an internet jukebox, and an outdoor deck(that they are working on making available again I'm told, apparently, I haven't been on it, as I am new in the "hood"). Regardless, they have all kinds of fun things like bingo and open mic night, and are very welcoming to newcomers. I imagine every crowd has assholes, but I've never met any here(as of yet, at least). The building is FAR FROM "seedy" and has state of the art entertainment and a GREAT staff. I've only been there about 15-20 times altogether but every time they've made me feel like I'm at home. Not to mention I met the manager the first time I went and not only did he welcome my sister and myself personally to the neighborhood, but he made us a few free specialty drinks that he created and named himself. They were amazing, and I order one every time I go now. Oh, and... what I really wanted to say is: THE WINGS ARE PHENOMENAL!!! That's no joke. That's most of the reason why I go to McKinley's! Get extra celery and bleu cheese sauce, because their bleu cheese is just as amazing as their wings and sauce! Rarely do you find bleu cheese sauce with actual chunks of bleu cheese, and that's what you get here. An amazing place to go, and whomever is working away in the kitchen is my HERO, because she or he is an absolute GOD at cooking. Have no fear of their menu, as it will knock your socks off! It is totally worth checking out at least once! I'm just lucky because I can walk there. I get their wings at least once a week. I am freaking addicted.

The food was ok, but the bartender was too busy acting like he owned the place. The atmosphere was ok, if you're into really seedy joint. Honestly, some of the people in there were scary. A pretty rough crowd. The bartender also over served half of the patrons.
