Café & Bar
McLaughlin Bar has been a fixture on W Holmes Ave for years — the kind of place where regulars know your name and strangers become friends over a shared booth.
We started as a simple neighborhood café, and grew into something more: a full-service bar that never forgets its roots. Mornings belong to your coffee ritual. Evenings belong to good company and a well-made drink.
