Ridgewood NJ, On July 17th, NJ lottery started a pilot program to put Quick Draw into selected bars in New Jersey.
They selected not franchised or chain restaurants, but local establishments. As of now, there are only a handful of places in Bergen County. One that was picked and already running is our favorite pub in town Mac Murphy’s.
Quick Draw is basically Lotto w/ 80 numbers to pick. It’s very popular over the border in New York. You can also play any other lottery game there.
“Mac’s” has expanded their outdoor dining area and chef Shamus from the “Old Country” will delight your culinary needs.
Stop by.. WIN and DINE…
Good for them, I guess… more (easy) money… but I’d rather not see it in the place.
Mac Murphys is good for what it is – a nice local pub – good food – not fancy, a place to hang out for a bit and get a bite to eat and some drinks with a few friends.
Even though it is not a “fancy” place, I think that putting in the lottery machine cheapens the place and takes away a bit of its charm and local character.
