I'm always excited about new restaurant concepts, especially ones that are engaging. Whether that's hibachi, fondue, Korean BBQ or a golf simulator.



McMulligan's is a new-ish golf simulator in South Hills that also serves a menu of items like burgers, sandwiches, nachos and salads.



"McMulligan's is a golf-themed sports bar. The name combines the owner's last name "McMullen" and the golf term "mulligan". A mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. It's best-known use is in golf, as a reference to a player being informally allowed to replay a stroke, though it is against the formal rules of golf. The bar is named the 19th Hole, which is a slang term for a pub, bar, or restaurant on or near an 18-hole golf course. The four-leaf clover in the logo is for "luck," all golfers thrive on luck, and luck comes with preparation. The "M" within the clover utilizes golf clubs to represent the focus on golf. If you do not play golf, no worries, all eight TV's will always have sports on. Drinks and food are a bonus. Please come hang out, have some laughs, and kick back and relax."



While I think the golf is the main draw, I was just in it for the food. I ordered "THE MONEY SHOT" - Tender smoked pork slow cooked in our signature BBQ sauce served with a side of our delicious Betty's slaw and sliced sweet pickle, served on a buttery brioche bun.



This was pretty average to me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very memorable either. My friend Hannah did enjoy her nachos, but I was left a little underwhelmed. I think if it had some spice or sweetness or even just more sauce, it would give it some more flavor. Or, maybe I just ended up with a bit that didn't have all of the seasoning. Either way, it was average for me.
