Good mood, cozy, awesome beer and nice people. That's a good combination. The owner said his bar serves the best Guinness in town and yes, it was poured real good. It was just a pity they hadn't some craft beers.

Staff were extremely rude and ignorant. If you are looking to watch football (soccer) don't go to this bar as they don't show it …so called Irish bar ha!

Just got back from Dublin and miss it so randomly decided to go to McCarthy. The Irish coffee is so good, if you like Buena Vista Irish Coffee ask for 2 sugar cubes, it's Ireland Irish coffee level good.Love it.Good vibe.Good place to watch a game with friendly strangers.Food is from Franco's Latin Table ( also one of my favorite restaurant in West Portal).☘️???

This is a neighborhood Irish bar where locals gather to watch ball games in the city while enjoying a pint of Guinness away from the crowded SF. They serve popular Irish fairs from Franco's Latin table next door.

Giving this a 5 stars, cant comment on the food as I just came for the Guinness. If looking for a good of the black stuff, well this has to be on the list when you’re visiting San Francisco. I went to three pubs for the Guinness on my trip here & this along with the Irish Times were given the thumbs up by Steve G, global head of Quality for Diageo who was here around the same time as me.

We popped in a couple of times recently, and I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Irene behind the bar is great to chat with. Her Irish accent is fully preserved even after decades here. She's charming and down to earth. Go visit her and have a brew or cocktail.

Big thank you to Mccarthy's for letting our small group host a birthday party last weekend. Eileen and Anne are fabulous to work with. Great drinks, jukebox full of great music and a lovely time spent dancing and laughing with friends.

Decent West Portal Irish bar. I've been coming to this spot in its various incarnations since the late 80's. The current version is better than some previous versions. I especially appreciate the complimentary hot food that was available the last time I was in.
