Love it!. This is a fantastic Irish bar located in Soulard. If you are looking for good food, great drinks, and a fabulous pation then look no more. I love their selection of draft beer. My favorite foods are their spinach artichoke ravioli and their potato soup. Love it!…
It is all about the beer garden. The rambling beer garden seems endless. I enjoyed both being able to sit & drink next to the crowded bar or find a nice corner for some "I think were alone" time. The food & music has always been good for being Irish, but I am not a fan of Irish food & music. We usually just stay in the great beeer garden.…
Best Irish Pub Overall!. Let me tell you, this is a great pub! Best service: Lucky and Johnny, thanks always for top service and conversation! Delicious food, fish and chips are tasty. Anywhere we sit is wonderful. Outside at Johnny's bar or inside at Lucky's. Our friends and family feel at home here!…
You ain't seen a pub until you've seen McGurk's. This is the ultimate in "pubbery". Better and more beers on draft than most pubs, and excellent Irish food. The decor is wonderful and homey, and you feel as though you've been taken to an actual pub in Ireland. The grilled cheese is heavenly, and the lamb stew in hearty and satisfying. They have live Irish music at least 4 nights a week, but arrive early or you'll be standing. When dining, the live music adds a great ambience to a wonderful casual dining experience. The outdoor patio is great, especially when the weather is nice and you're with a group of friends. Prices couldn't be better for this sort of place -- go here before you try anywhere else.…
An expansive menu and a gorgeous garden patio keep revelers pouring into Soulard's most beloved Irish hangout..
The Scene
With its warm brick and wood interior and four bars and dining rooms from which to choose, McGurk's is one of the area's best finds for a cozy dinner or big get-together. A 20- to
30-something crowd comes for intimate atmosphere, Irish folk bands and a substantial wine and beer selection. But the gem in the restaurant's crown is its sprawling outdoor patio and bar, a cool urban oasis on any steamy summer night.
The Food
The draw here is hearty comfort food. Young couples begin with starters of crisp chips with vinegar, then move on to a melt-in-your-mouth Gaelic filet in a tart whiskey reduction or a divinely simple Guinness stew with beef tips, potatoes and carrots. Red meat dodgers should skip the bland pan-seared salmon for a huge Caesar salad with juicy, just-off-the-grill blackened chicken. Irish coffee and warm, rich bread pudding make a great dessert.…
