Visited during the 2026 St. Louis Tionól to watch and listen to sessions performed by the musicians from that event. What an outstanding experience it was. So much outstanding music in almost every corner you went to. Had the bangers and mash since ai was there over lunch and it was excellent. Definitely recommend this place for an authentic Irish pub experience.
The best bar in St. Louis, complete with an old country Irish bar/atmosphere inside and the best garden/outside restaurant bar that you can find ANYWHERE.
I used to love McGurks. Very disappointed they got rid of the stuffed chicken breast. That was my favorite.

McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden offers a delightful experience with its relaxing atmosphere, perfect for families and gatherings. Guests can savor their tasty corned beef and cabbage, grilled pork chops, and noteworthy onion rings. Recent visitors have praised the potato soup as one of the best, and the child's Chicken Strips are accompanied by perfectly seasoned steamed green beans. The large Reuben Sandwich is piled high with kraut and gooey cheese, while homemade Irish Chips are served hot and fresh. The pub is recognized as a great spot for events, date nights, or a quick bite. With a rich tradition that many families cherish, it's considered one of the best Irish Bars in the States. Though some dishes like the fish and chips could use more seasoning, and service may have room for improvement, the overall experience remains enjoyable. McGurk's is a Southside gem that has it all, welcoming kids during the day on weekends.
