Mac’s has a great selection of beers. Had a Piraat, Mothership Wit, and a Lagunitis IPA. Unfortunately, I had to ask for a glass (the waitress seemed to think I was crazy to want to drink a Piraat out of a glass). Food was great. Everything I ate was incredibly good. Service was decent, alittle slow, but they were busy. The biggest disappointments were the ultra smokey environment (which I suppose will change in a few months), and horribly uncomfortable bar stools. Overall, an interesting place for a great beer selection. Most people were drinking tall-boy Miller Lite’s, so I’m a little confused by the great selection.

if you are for a meal, the food is incredible. the beer list is strong, but small. the beers are a little more than expected given the very casual atmosphere

North Carolina is just not synonymous with great craft beer culture. Not a ton of brewers, brewpubs, or great beer spots. However, there is a ton of casual places with great BBQ. Mac’s has really good BBQ combined with a lengthy beer list, but this is not a place I would say excels on that hard-to-define aspect of "beer culture." Still, I enjoyed my visit, and for the area, I believe it to be one of the better spots in the area. The bottle list is long. The BBQ was quite good (accompanied by two great sauces - neither of which was anything like Bullseye or KC Masterpiece, and that’s a good thing). However our server was pretty vacuous (at least on the topic of beer), and I had to ask for a glass with each beer I ordered. Still, prices were reasonable, food was delicious, and the location was quite convenient. I’d happily spend another evening here. I read something about this being a "biker bar," but this seemed like a nice family place to me.

Awesome time with friends! Great beers, tons of grub, and a very attentive server. I loved the ambiance -- they played metal and hockey was on in the South.

Nice atmosphere. Food is good simple food. The beer list looks large but is filled with plenty of crap. There are probably 50 good beers. When asked about one of there drafts the waitress said it is not terrible but of course she drinks bud light. It was the winters bourbon cask ale and it was pretty lame. Had four good beers. One of which was sent back for being off. The bartender was not ammused and said it is an IPA you know. Well yea and I know what Sam Smiths India Ale should taste like. He traded it out. If this all sounds a bit negative I want to say I did like the place and don’t really expect everyone to love beer as much as I do. I would recomend it a s aplace for good food and beer. Just not up there with the flying Saucer and definatley not as nice as moondog when it comes to beer.

BBQ is the best in Charlotte. Make sure you try the sauce offered on the table. Beer selection suits me just perfectly (Dogfish Pale Ales and Victory Hop Devil are my favorites). Packed for weekday lunches (get there at 11:30 if you want a seat). Biker bar, but non-biker’s certainly welcomed. Service is good.

Up there with Mellow Mushroom and Flying Saucer with beer selection. More bottles, less drafts. More importantly MUCH more reasonably priced. Make sure to look at their coolers, there’s a lot of stuff in there not on the list. Will agree there is quite a bit on the light side. Along with the beer is the best BBQ in town and a great atmosphere to watch games or some nice motorcycles during weekend daytimes. Sometimes service is a little slow, it all depends on who you get. Bartenders however are pretty knowledgeable on the beer, the one with the light brown go-tee is anyway.
