Mac's at 19 Broadway - Marin County's Premier Speakeasy Bar, Where Prohibition Cocktails, Live Music and Pure Fairfax Energy Converge
Step through the door at Mac's and you feel it immediately: warm light, a live stage, and cocktail culture done right. This longtime Fairfax nightlife institution has been reimagined as a polished speakeasy lounge while staying rooted in the local music-and-community spirit that made it a favorite in the first place.
Winner of Best of Marin 2024 for Best Music Venue and Best Comedy, Mac's combines a neighborhood bar legacy with a renovated cocktail lounge and VIP room in the center of downtown Fairfax.
Named for a Legend - Rooted in Fairfax's Musical Soul
Named after one of the area's iconic bartenders, Mac's carries deep local history. The venue has long supported live music in Fairfax, and its updated stage - complete with red velvet backdrop and Steinway piano - continues that legacy with intimate performances from top regional artists.
The Space - Speakeasy Elegance Meets Fairfax Warmth
Mac's offers indoor and outdoor heated lounge areas, a full over-21 events calendar, and a VIP lounge with private bar service for celebrations and private bookings. The atmosphere balances elevated cocktail-bar style with friendly Fairfax energy.
The Cocktails - Prohibition Style, Housemade Everything
The cocktail program focuses on classics and Prohibition-style drinks with housemade bitters and shrubs, supported by curated beer, wine, and mocktail options. Bartenders are known for made-to-order recommendations and consistently strong craft execution.
The Music - Best-in-County Live Programming
From jazz and rock to DJ nights and tribute shows, Mac's weekly calendar is one of the broadest in Marin County. Signature programming includes Monday Blues Jam, Tuesday comedy, Thursday trivia/karaoke/dance-energy nights, and live music throughout the weekend.
The Comedy - National Talent in an Intimate Room
Mac's comedy nights bring a mix of national headliners and Bay Area favorites, with Tuesday panel-style formats that keep the room lively and unpredictable. Best of Marin recognition reflects the quality and consistency of the program.
Private Events and VIP Experience
Mac's VIP lounge is designed for birthdays, holiday parties, and private gatherings with dedicated bar service. Special events, including bartender competitions, add to the venue's reputation as a true nightlife destination rather than a standard neighborhood bar.
