Great group visit with my children and grandchildren. Menu was versatile enough to satisfy all ages. Very good service. Irish coffee is highly recommended.

My mom would bring me here as a kid, and the tradition stuck. My uncle says there's no better Irish Bar in the States! In Ireland the bartenders at the pubs will tell ya that after the (Irish) bands tour the Isle, their next stop is McGurks in St. Louis. That's no joke. When even the pubs in Ireland recognize yo, it's fair to say, you're legit.
Kid-friendliness: Kids during the daytime on the weekends.

I went there around 9:15pm on Saturday 12/21. Hostess greeted me and said she had no where to seat one person but there were bars in the back of the restaurant. I walked to the back and to my surprise i saw an open 2 seated table in the room to the right. There was a server working that section too. I decided to sit down just to see if I was acknowledged and of course I wasn't. Made zero sense why i couldn't of been seated and served in that section. I waited 10 min before walking out. If servers don't want to do their job then not worth anymore of my time or patience. I understand the place was busy but it's not like i had a huge party nor did i pester any serve to wait on me. I will keep my money and never go back! I haven't been to this restaurant since 2002 i believe so i had high hope of checking it out again only to be let down and to feel invisible.

Bouncer do not care if patrons attack other patrons as long as it does not interfere with any doorways.

I had the fish and chips which were pretty good. The fish was nice and crispy, but a bit tiny. The chips could have had more seasoning. My wife had the bangers and mash. The mash was the star. The sausage had good flavor, but was a bit dry and overcooked. Service was mostly fine didn't bring some water we asked for and seemed to be in a hurry for us to leave. They were friendly though. We look forward to going back and giving it another go.
