  Huge dance floor makes this one of the best stops in Manchester. Kareoke night was Sunday and we had the distinct pleasure of witnessing two of the biggest ugliest gnarliest biker dudes singing the most beautiful love ballads - not together.
  The Kareoke was mixed with some great dancing and dancers, including a man that looked like Sid From ice age with incredible twerking skills.
  Now, don't get me wrong - this place is as rough as a badgers ass but friendly and fun.

  It's funny to see that people are reviewing this place like it's a restaurant or reputable bar. Just giving the three stars I found it to have, and wanted to thank everyone for leaving their opinions because they were pretty entertaining to read.
  
  Mcgarvey's is well known to be a dive. Take it or leave it, will not change.
  
  Thank you for providing feedback, yelpers.

  All you could ask for of a dive bar. I love coming here and haven't had a bad experience yet. The bouncers are always super friendly, and I've always had great service at the bar. Definitely recommend for a place to play pool and hang!

  I cant say enough about this bar!!
  
  McGarvey's is THE spot for a fun night out in the Queen City!
  
  Bernie and Mike are the best DJs around! Each are well liked, if not quite loved by all who visit! Karaoke is hosted by these great guys 7 nights a week . They are extremely friendly, and fantastic when it comes to keeping great music and entertainment flowing through the bar till closing time!
  Ive been to several places for karaoke in the area, and it can be hard to find  DJ's in this city with as great a music selection, be it to sing or to be played as a request.
  
  the space for singing doubles as a dance floor and many times transitions throughout the night. the night can be very fun even if you just want to dance and not sing.
   
  If you are a first timer or maybe shy to the idea of a night of karaoke, have no fear.  Bernie and Mike are very welcoming to singers both new and returning. and everyone in the bar is super friendly and supportive as an audience. You may even learn that Bernie and Mike are great singers themselves. It is quite common for them to either accompany other singers for duet or put them selves out there with a solo song  to get a new round of  karaoke going.
  You want karaoke? you want these two guys and you definitely want McGarvey's!
  
  Where beverages are concerned McGarvey's also is fantastic. They have specials all the time and have a great selection for whatever it is you enjoy in your glass. The bartenders are extreamly friendly, and work hard to provide fast and delicious drinks every time I come in! Its always great to walk through the door, no matter the day of the week and know you will be greeted by a friendly face behind the bar! I always have a great experience!
  
  McGarvey's is the answer for a great night of drinks great people and superb musical entertainment!!

  One of the worst bar experiences I've had.  Passed by several times by bartenders, 20 min at the bar with no drink and they are not that busy.  Served people who came after me before me.  Plenty of bars but I could pass on this one
