Mackenzie Pub

Nice pre-show casual spot to grab some grub and a brew. The Cuban sandwich was good. The pork was perfectly cooked. Tasted really good on its own. Somehow, in the sandwich, there was a flavor or sauce missing. Maybe it needed more mustard or cheese. Definitely upgrade to the fries for your sandwich! So perfectly crispy and delicious! Of note- can't bring leftovers into the theater.

Stopped here before a show at the Orpheum. Loved it! Smoked buffalo wings were amazing. Flavor was great and they weren't dry. The Caribbean pork tacos were a nice balance of sweet and savory. Our beers were great and server was funny and attentive. We tried one of their featured warm cocktails and it was very strong (reggae coffee I think it was?). Definitely would come back again in the future.

Stopped by for a quick dinner before a show at the Orpheum. It was pretty packed so we had to sit upstairs. The upstairs ambience was a little dull. Il suggest sitting downstairs if you can. Got a couple beers and tacos. The carribean pork tacos were fantastic. So so so good. So flavorful. Order it for sure. Chicken tacos were good too. Great place to stop by before a show for sure

My husband and I were attending a show at the Orpheum Theater and this was next door. It was busy when we arrived at 6pm. It was seat yourself. I think they were understaffed as it took a while to have a server stop by to get our drink order. We ordered smoked wings, scotched eggs, and a French dip sandwich. The food was delicious. Our server tried to be attentive with a full house. The environment was a typical bar - loud and nosy; casual dining. Overall, we would come back here for food before a show at the Orpheum. Great food, good prices, and it's next door to the theater.

It was a busy Friday night downtown Minneapolis, we were there for the Minnesota Timberwolves block party and the Michael Jackson show at the Orpheum. Our server Alex was great even though he was super swamped that did not stop him from acknowledging every new person that sat at the bar and making sure that we got what we needed. For having a small kitchen they turn out some hits for sure. The fries have this amazingly unique taste I'm not sure if it's the oil they use but they are always a hit. The turkey wrap was seasoned so perfectly it's probably one of the best raps that I've had in a long time. We also had the wonton tacos for an appetizer and they were the perfect serving size and hit the spot in fact they were so good we didn't even have a chance to snap a pic of them when we're on this end of downtown Minneapolis we always try to stop in because it has a nice hometown feel to it You can get good food great drinks and even better service!!

Good food. Fun atmosphere. For a bar downtown, it very much had a neighborhood bar feel!

The food was GREAT! We had a bacon cheeseburger and fish tacos. Service was friendly and ambiance was good as well. I look forward to going back again.

Stopped in prior to an event at the Orpheum and so glad I did. I was able to get a seat at the bar before the onslaught of people. Able to get a beer and enjoyed the Chicken Thinga Street Tacos which were great. Prices are reasonable keep in mind events at the Orpheum and State can result in busy restaurant I would come back

Used to come to Mackenzie a few times a year when in town for work but hadn't been for 5 years. Maybe it was because I was there on Sunday night or maybe because I may have arrived just after a rush ahead of a show but it wasn't a great experience. Gouda burger was awful. Burned, dry, thin burger with no flavor, cheese melted to an almost liquid state, and bun partially burned. Side of tots contained bits of other fried food. I ate less than half and asked for a menu to order something else. Bartender just chucked 3/4 of burger and tots and handed me the menu. Btw not crowded at all. She didn't ask about how the food was either as I was eating or when she picked it up.As I was dining on my company's dime and it was getting too late to go somewhere else I decided try again to see if maybe I just made a bad choice.Tried to order their "specialty" which is a scotch egg but after checking with the kitchen the bartender relayed that they were unavailable. Asked for the bartenders recommendation she said she'd go with cheese curds which were pretty average but edible. All in all not great and given the options will try somewhere else next time.

The wings are outstanding! service was great! Gary from Scotland says "these are the best wings I've had!"
