John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden

I love the artichoke dip with pita chips and the cocktails super good

I had a cup of some of the best dang potato soup I have ever eaten 😋 accompanied with a child's Chicken Strips. I opted for the steamed green beans that were seasoned perfectly and so tender, they melted in your mouth!! My husband ordered the Reuben Sandwich. Large portion piled high on a hoagie bun, topped with yummy kraut and gooey cheese! Homemade Irish Chips were served up piping hot and fresh. Never disappointed here!!

Took me a century to get my drink. I don’t know what to tell you management quit slacking.

We very much enjoyed McGurk’s during a recent visit to St. Louis! Great atmosphere and food!

Food was really good!

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.

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think so.

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.
