I've been coming to this bar for years and years, and as a regular to the Park ave area some of these reviews are comical. No this irish pub is not a restaurant, but they can serve you quick fryer food and if you go there on the weekends you know why. This is one of the only good bars left for young people to go to. And these young people continue to use it and abuse it while they're being drunk idiots. That is a tale as old as time - and these bartenders working here deal with it day in and day out and that's the standard. As an owner why would you continue to fix and repair and put all this money into it for the same shit to keep happening? You just maintain and survive, and I'm happy with that and will continue to come back, if you're not go somewhere else and cry about it.

The bartender was extremely rude. It was my first time there I bought one single beer. It cost me $4.50 and then he belittled me because I did not tip him. It was my first time there I did not know the culture of it and I do not feel like I will ever tip this bartender again extremely rude And unprofessional. I am not obligated to tip anyone if I feel like the service is very good I will tip but what he said I will not tip him personally ever again.

No doors on the.women’s bathroom and now Not even on the toilet seats. This is just not acceptable . For women to feel safe in. A bathroom this isn’t the place. And I’ve been coming here for years this is actually sad

I tried to go here with friends and was denied entry for wearing a white tank top. It was a hot summer night, and my outfit was perfectly appropriate—I’ve worn it to plenty of other bars without issue. When I asked the security guard why it wasn’t allowed, he said, “it’s just the owner’s rules” and claimed that every bar on Park Ave enforces the same dress code (spoiler alert - they don’t!). I asked if these rules were posted anywhere, and they weren’t—nor do they appear on the bar’s website or social media. If a dress code is going to be enforced, it should be made clear. Otherwise, it feels like arbitrary and potentially discriminatory gatekeeping. I also noticed women inside wearing more revealing outfits, and the guard said the owner lets females wear whatever they want. Yikes. Overall, I don’t recommend this place, even though the security team was polite. The owner’s practices seem questionable, and when I asked to speak to him, he wasn’t available.
Thanks to everyone at Magpie's for hosting the US Women's Olympic Soccer Team's Gold medal match. Great time...go USA.

If white shirts aren’t allowed why’s the OWNER wearing one? Just a little confused why you’d make a police of your business you don’t even adhere to. Security was more than professional however the owner was far from it.

Didn't even sit down here. We were denied at two other places in park ave because they had long wait times. So we decided pub food sounded great! Now knowing at the time they didn't serve food for a PUB..... We walked in and stood there waiting to get seated. We were asked by some lady bartending if we needed anything and we asked if we just sit ourselves. Then she replied with a VERY passive aggressive attitude "well we aren't a real restaurant...we just serve drinks like normal bars" extremely taken back on how rude this lady was. We just walked out after she laughed in our face. Will not try to come here ever again. Learn how to treat customers.

I was DENIED entry due to no sleeves on my shirt . Tried waiting outside as my friends came back out so we could find a different bar. Was told NOT to wait on the sidewalk in front of magpies because the OWNER would get pissed. Okay got it magpies owns the sidewalk. Been there before no problem with a sleeve shirt. Lastly Women sitting inside and outside, few had tank tops on ?

Cool place. Will definitely go back again. Bartenders and security are super cool. Nice location.
