Formerly the Union Bar in Northeast Minneapolis, Mac’s happy hour is a refuge for neighborhood residents hoping to avoid the deluge of hipsters drawn to NE’s newly-gentrified attractions. Mac’s has sports on a few flat screen TVs, 27 taps, and a full bar. Some of the best bar food you will find around town. The burgers, fries and wings can compete for awards. Union workers and old timers politic during the day. Later at night, the place fills up with twenty-somethings and students from the nearby Aveda Institute, who line up for Mac’s generous drink specials and terrific bartending staff. A hidden gem of a bar.
