Question: mcsorley's how i met your mother?
Answer: The depiction of MacLaren's on the show reminds me much more of an East Village bar like McSorley's Old Ale House at 15 East 7th, or a Greenwich Village pub like the Four-Faced Liar at 165 West 4th (between 6th & 7th Avenues). They are much more the size and atmosphere depicted on the show.
