We’re from Brooklyn, NY and were on our way to Houston when we decided to make a quick stop—and we’re so glad we did! McCarthy’s Irish Bar is super cool and authentic, the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel at home. Great atmosphere, friendly people, and that true Irish pub vibe you don’t come across often. Definitely worth the stop! 🍀🍻

A must visit in Lexington. The best Guinness outside of Dublin. Mike and Nick are great bartenders.

The bartender working the night of 8/5 is an absolute rock star! He never stopped moving the entire hour and a half we were there. He was the only one working and absolutely slayed! There was a convention in town and it seemed like everyone came in at 10pm. He kept up with minimal wait times. As someone who works in the service industry, I just want to give him a shout out for being absolutely incredible!

To the owner- you better fire every employee and start over. What happened to the McCarthy’s I loved? Smart-ass 18 yr old boy at the door, filthy interior, rude Latino bartender, no one drinking, underage college girls. Stayed 3 minutes and left. How embarrassing. Went to The Jockey who has excellent food, pleasant employees, racing on the screens, clean interior and legit Irish tending the bar and serving drinks with a smile. Maybe McCarthy’s should be a cantina instead.
