Great spot for a late night bite
Wearing my traveling blue jeans, I was looking for a casual spot to get a beer and a meal near my hotel, when I came across Mackey's. Rather large for a pub, but pretty standard fare. Good atmosphere (low key, very casual), lots of room at the bar. The crowd was young DC professional (guys and gals), seemed to be just out of college. Decent menu for bar food, I debated between the fish & chips and the beer battered shrimp basket, and decided on the shrimp. It hit the spot. I'll definitely keep Mackey's in mind next time I'm in the neighborhood.
