Bloomington's favorite neighborhood bar and grill invites you to embrace the warm weather on their newly updated patio. DR. McKay's Bar and Grill has expanded their welcoming atmosphere to the outdoors, creating the perfect spot for everything from casual family dinners to relaxed drinks with friends.
Outdoor Dining with All the Comforts
The back patio at DR. McKay's offers comfortable seating for groups of all sizes, whether you're planning a family outing or meeting friends after work. What sets this outdoor space apart is its pet-friendly policy—well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome to join their owners, making it truly a gathering spot for the entire family.
"We wanted to create a space where our customers can enjoy the beautiful weather while experiencing everything DR. McKay's has to offer," says a representative from the restaurant. "From our award-winning chicken wings to our craft beer selection, everything tastes a little better in the fresh air."
Award-Winning Menu Now Served Al Fresco
DR. McKay's has built a reputation as home to some of the best chicken wings in Bloomington, but their menu extends far beyond this signature dish. Specialty burgers, hearty sandwiches, fresh wraps, and crisp salads round out the diverse offerings that have made this establishment a local favorite for comfort food in Bloomington, Illinois.
The full menu is available on the patio, including their popular daily food specials that keep regulars coming back throughout the week. "One of our summertime favorites is our house made Chicken salad! It comes on grilled sourdough or Texas toast with chips but can be requested on top of a side salad, which is my personal favorite", comments the owner, Rachel Jones. Pair your meal with a selection from their craft beer menu for the complete DR. McKay's experience.
More Than Just Great Food
While the food alone makes DR. McKay's worth visiting, this local establishment offers much more. Inside, sports fans can catch live games on multiple screens, making it one of the best sports bars in Bloomington for watching everything from college football to professional basketball, good to note as the NBA finals are about to hit.
The restaurant also features a video gaming room for those looking for additional entertainment, solidifying its reputation as a complete destination for food and fun in Bloomington.
