Nestled in a cozy nook of the city, McGrath's Irish Pub epitomizes the heartwarming essence of traditional Irish hospitality. From the moment you step through its welcoming doors, you're greeted by the rich, woody aroma that promises an authentic pub experience. The décor is a tasteful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, creating an ambiance where every corner has a story to tell, inviting patrons to settle in and stay awhile.The menu at McGrath's is a delightful homage to Irish culinary traditions, with a contemporary twist that caters to a variety of palates. Whether it's the perfectly cooked Shepherd's Pie, the mouthwatering Fish and Chips, or the hearty Irish Stew, each dish is prepared with a level of care and authenticity that transports you straight to the heart of Ireland. Moreover, the pub boasts an impressive selection of beers and whiskeys, including rare finds that are a treat for connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.But what truly sets McGrath's apart is its vibrant atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is memorable. The live music sessions, featuring both traditional and modern tunes, encapsulate the pub's spirit of community and celebration. It's a place where laughter and conversation flow as freely as the drinks, making every evening spent here a joyous occasion.In essence, McGrath's Irish Pub is not just a place to dine and drink; it's a sanctuary where warmth, good food, and great company come together to create unforgettable experiences. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking a slice of Ireland in the city.

We ate at McGrath's for Easter brunch today and I consider our experience to be 3.5 stars. The food was decent, the homemade scones were phenomenal, our waitress was friendly and the gentleman manager who was helping the waitstaff was excellent as well. The biggest issue at this restaurant was cleanliness. There was so much food debris on our table, chairs, plates, silverware, it ruined the experience of the food and waitstaff. This restaurant would have been 4-5 stars if I wasn't grossed out by how dirty it was. We asked for new plates, and the waitress kindly obliged. There is something about seeing grease, fingerprints, and food particles everywhere that ruins the whole eating experience.

I'm writing this while I'm sitting at the bar. 6.15 Friday 3-29-24Drink is good. After that no service. My wife and I have almost finished our drink 20minutes and have not been offered a food menu. Several others have sat down and get a drink and menu. I could grab the one next to me, but I feel I should be offered.

We went back yesterday with a group of 20+ people. Service and food were excellent. My only comment would be the Caesar salad had too much dressing. It was otherwise very good.

I ordered through GrubHub. The restaurant cancelled my order, instead of perhaps calling to ask if I wanted a replacement item (since they were out of my chosen item). So the refund takes 3-5 business days to get back. Thanks for no lunch today. If I could have given negative stars, I would have.

We just tried our first meals at Mcgrath’s and wow were we happy!We used the DoorDash delivery service and the fit arrived hot, delicious, and well packaged!We just thought we’d take a chance on it and already can’t wait to visit the restaurant and try some more items on the menu. We got the bangers and mash, shepherds pie, and Irish stew and all three were awesome!
Never had a bad meal here! Plus on St Pattys day, everyone was incredible, fast and kind service, delicious food, and fun atmosphere!

There was a group of us (28) that went here for lunch on 3/15/24. The majority said the food was just okay. Myself, I ordered their Pub BLT and egg, with fries. Well, the bacon was dripping with grease and the egg yolks were not hard so they ran all over the sandwich making a very messy eating experience. The fries were mushy not crisp. Only two waitstaff, but they did a good job. Would I go there again, have to think about that.

My wife and I were seated during an average Saturday. No rush, and the restaurant was half full. Charming place, and we were thinking brunch. After 15 minutes of being completely ignored by the staff, we left. We tried to the attention of two servers, to no avail. No stars for food or atmosphere.

Smash burgers with cheddar was great! Our server had approximately 20 of our group to service... well done. We all sat outside under cover, it was comfortable and pleasant. Great value!
