"Mahoney 's is a great place in this area for drinks and a bite to eat. The atmosphere is sort of like an elevated pub feel, with dim lighting and lots of hanging lights. We also loved the exposed brick. We came for a double date night and found that it was the perfect place for that. It wasn 't too busy, but just loud enough to allow us to laugh and chat without feeling like we would bug anyone. Service was good. The younger guy who served us was efficient and friendly. We got quite a few cocktails, all of which were strong but good. For an appetizer, we tried the Irish Nachos which weren 't great. They call them nachos but the potatoes were large, soft chunks similar to home fries, which left the entire dish far too soft. If potato chips had been used, it would have been at least a bit like a nacho, but these missed the mark. No crunch like you expect when you order any variation of a nacho dish. We also got a cup of the clam chowder, which was delicious. For entrees, we tried the Chicken Caesar Salad and the steak tips with truffle fries. The salad was perfect. Chicken was cooked nicely, the dressing was flavorful. Overall, just a really good Caesar salad. The steak tips weren 't as great. Ordered medium rare.. they came out well done. Overall, we would come back for the atmosphere but food and drinks were average."
