Mac's Proper Pub has been on my radar for a few years because my best friend took me there to try the sauerkraut balls, and I've been going back to have them ever since then.Recently I discovered that they have a great happy hour which includes half off apps and specialty cocktails, so off I went to have a dinner of apps.My order included scotch eggs, fried brie, spinach and artichoke dip, chicken fingers, and of course the sauerkraut balls.The scotch eggs were tasty-- served cut in half with a dipping sauce, and they were better than any scotch eggs I've had in the past. Crispy and delicious, especially with the gluttonous cream cheese dip.The fried brie is also very tasty-- served with slices of toast and definitely not as stinky or strange as brie can often be, more palatable because it's fried with a crispy outside. This is a great 'intro fried brie' for those who it may be too strong for normally.The spinach and artichoke dip is yummy and served with interesting sliced curly-esque fries. I loved the fries I just wish there was a bit more dip so I wasn't left with so many extra fries and nothing to dip them in.The chicken fingers were pretty average. Not a whole lot to say about those and probably wouldn't order them again. I also wasn't a fan of the sauce they were served with.The sauerkraut balls did not disappoint as usual-- sauerkraut and sausage all wrapped together and served fried with ranch(?) to dip them in. I'm not crazy about the dipping sauce but the portion is pretty large-- it comes with 6 sauerkraut balls that take at least 2-3 bites to finish.The bar itself is long and slender with an incognito room with a pool table in the back that I just noticed on this trip, despite having been there many times before. I'll definitely be back to blow off some steam with a game of pool during happy hour soon.

Mac's was the first stop on my "figure out which bar is the vibe right now" walk with a friend. I felt like Mac's had a really family-friendly and casual feel to it. No loud, crazy music or TV (or people). If you're looking to hang out with some friends, eat, have a drink, this is probably a good spot for that. I did not eat any of the food, but the pretzels with cheese enticed me. If they had said it was beer cheese sauce, I would have 'bitten' (see what I did there). We got CBUS Collins which we enjoyed!I'd stop back in and feel cool bringing family or a friend group here!

Long time establishment in Columbus. We came here today lunch after an afternoon of running around town. We likely missed the brunch crowd as most everything I wanted was out (scotch eggs, fish and chips). I got the burger with fries, which was decent enough. The fries are fresh cut, so that was a plus. Service was fine. The only bad part was finding parking!

We came here for a friend's birthday on a Friday night and they had a couple tables open. It's a seat yourself situation. There's only a few tables in the back that are available for parties bigger than 4 people.They seemed as if they were short staffed so the waitress didn't come around as often. Drinks and food came out pretty quick. I got a Moscow mule and it was alright. I also ordered a Philly cheese steak with their house fries. The fries were good, but too thin so they weren't as soft. The cheese steak lacked flavor and sauce. It was so dry I started dipping it in ketchup. For 3 drinks and a Philly cheese steak I paid about $54.

We love this place! The food is fantastic, the beer is good, and we love the causal (but still nice) feel of the place! Nine times out of ten the service is good too. Our biggest qualm is the cost-- everything from beer to apps to salad are definitely pricey. We would love to make this our regular spot, but can't justify the cost that often. That being said, their happy hour is great! Makes everything reasonably priced; we are far more willing to go more frequently when we can fit happy hour into our schedule.

The service from my waiter was good, the ambiance was fine, but the food was disappointing, to be kind. I ordered my burger after reading another review suggesting this place served the best burger the writer had ever had. I ordered the burger medium-rare (the waiter agreed that was a good idea), had the sautéed kale, and the Proper Fries. The kale was good and I'd get it again, but for the fact that I'll not go back because the burger was so over-cooked, flavorless, and dry. The bun was good, but the Proper Fries were heat lamp warm and just not worth a fraction of the $8+ I paid for them. This place may be good for drinking, but I can't recommend eating there.

I visited her for a quick round of drinks as we were waiting for our table to be ready at another spot. The food looked great that our neighbors received and I definitely peeked at the menu and saw numerous things that I was interested in. The bartender was friendly and provided great service.

The fried Brie was amazing. Very crunchy and filling, and the apricot chutney complimented it perfectly. My husband was a fan of the triple decker sandwich; it was able to fill him up for two meals! The beer list was expansive and seasonally fitting without being overwhelming. It's pricy, but worth it for sure.

We are just obsessed with this place. The staff, Beth and Cale are the absolute best, knowledgeable team. Food is excellent, and the cocktails are awesome. Love the open windows / fresh air too. We'll surely be back to see our new friends the next time we're passing through.
