Reasonably nice people and reasonably accommodating. And that's saying something since most of the violin places I have visited were peopled with nothing but angry Eastern Europeans who want nothing more than to over charge a parent for a "hand made" instrument that their child will - either never play or be forced to play. I am sure if you are a professional and know what you are doing any store can do the job (well maybe not) but lord help us beginners. I am an adult new to the instrument. I have played various string instruments (guitars, bass, uke). Nice thing about that is - there are many brands. All of which one can research and for all of which there is plenty of competition for your business. Violins - "hand made-made" well not so much. You would have better luck going to a used car dealer - and knowing absolutely nothing about cars - attempting to make a selection. Actually not even - hell you could always select a Honda or Toyota and cross your finger. But an unbranded violin. Good luck! Anyway - these folks at least made an attempt to answer my questions and forced a smile. That said - it still felt like under it all there was a rousing vibe of - take the damn instrument, get out of my store and pay me on time for your rental every month - you'll probably quit in a week anyway. Well to all of you stores that operate like this - FU! And as for this store - well thanks at least for faking it!!

There's not many places left where the music is the focal point of the club. Nice to have a great music club/restaurant to be able to visit out in the burbs, without venturing into the city or paying a cover charge! Hope this place continues down the path for many years to come.

Mac's is a music lover's haven in the NW 'burbs. Highly recommended. And best of all no cover! It's like Cheers, where everybody knows your name. They book top bands there, especially blues. What a treat to not have to travel to the city to see acts like Lil' Ed, Dave Weld & The Imperial Flames, Pistol Pete, Tom Holland, Rockin' Johnny, Charlie Love & Jeff Stone, Joseph Morganfield and many other real deal blues greats!
