Mc Gee's Pub is the inspiration for the hit sitcom HIMYM. The writers of HIMYM hung out in Mc Gee's after work and got their inspiration for the show while downing a few well earned cold ones. The show was shot on a set in Los angels which was made to look somewhat like Mc Gee's Pub with the red booths, Stained glass windows and of course the mural on the wall. The cast have all been to Mc Gee's over the year's and the writers still show up from time to time. There is always great excitement when the cast members are here and likewise the writers.
It's not the same, McGee's was just the inspiration for MacLaren's
Everyone is right, it's not the actual bar it's where they worked on scripts for the show so they added McLaren's to be a spiritual McGee's
So where did they act for outside of the bar?
The staff from the show used to eat at McGee's
This bar is inspired by McLarens, not McLarens itself...
The creators of the series visited the bar in the past, so they were inspired to create HIMYM, but it is NOT McLaren's itself. You can get good merchandising, have a drink with the name of the episodes, and see photos of the cast at McGee's.
