    We were a mixed group of young adults and older folk, wanting to celebrate a birthday within walking distance of the Porter Sq shopping center. We happened on McCarthy‘s. It was a Thursday night and when the live music started, we realized we wouldn’t be able to talk to each other comfortably. But the staff was great and seated us in the bar, where we were able to have cocktails and dinner. I had the Buddha ball from the vegan menu and despite not being vegan it was absolutely delicious and I didn’t miss a thing. My husband had the shepherds pie, which was a fluffy mound of brown potatoes and a delicious stew. We were all very happy with our meals. One of the delightful things is that there are many vegetable forward options, which seem to be disappearing on so many menus. Thank you, McCarthy’s and we will be back!

    We ordered the New England Clam Chowder. It was one of the best chowders we have had. It was a huge bowl with a big piece of toasted sourdough. We got the Lenox chicken burger & Beer Batter Fish & Chips. Everything was fabulous! Absolutely loved eating outside!
