“Great spot for easy food and a drink. Most of the Irish food items are great and so are the nachos. Would give this place a 4.4 for the food and vibes on karaoke night. Miss the old style they had before the remodel and the car that crashed into it in 2022.“
“Fantastic Irish and restaurant. The setting was great for a date night or a night to watch NCAA basketball or in our case, both! We shared the goat cheese salad as a starter and the chocolate lava cake as a dessert with a delicious meal in between. In addition to the ambience, the server was exceptionally friendly, and made our experience all the better. Right in the heart of Shirlington and close to free parking in the parking garage.“
“Food is consistently amazing, great options for a pub. Wednesday trivia is always fun and it’s shorter than other places which I like. All the staff are great. Love this place!Vegetarian options: The veggie burger is probably my favorite ever“
“I’ll be honest, this restaurant has never really interested me because its standard Irish fare feels overpriced for what it is. However, I came in for their Monday night “I Am a Sandwich” special from 5-9pm, which also happens at the same time as their game night. I ordered the AKA “AJ” Smash Burger. The old bay onions were not to my personal taste and I probably should have asked for them on the side, but the rest of the burger was fantastic! I don’t typically enjoy old bay, so I don’t think I was the target audience. The combination of crab dip, soft bread, crunchy lettuce, and flavorful burger was fantastic. I hope this pop up will stay long enough that I can come back to try another one of the options! My 4 star review reflects the fact that I’ve only had pop up food, so I can’t vouch for the overall quality of regular menu food.“
“Couldn't ask for a more convenient place to eat and drink when staying in the Phoenix Park Hotel since its right in the lobby and there isn't a whole lot of options in the area. Nice service at the bar and in the restaurant. Food was pretty good too. Also went to a private pre-wedding party here that was well serviced.“
“I took my husband here for a birthday lunch. He ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the salmon avocado salad. Both were amazing!! The salad had fresh ingredients and even the dressing tasted homemade. The fish and chips were fried to perfection and melted in your mouth. Service was excellent and we were made to feel right at home. The restaurant was clean and inviting and I can’t wait to return once the outdoor patio is open. Many thanks to the owners for making my husband’s birthday special and ensure he felt celebrated.“
“We hosted my husband's retirement social in the upstairs room. The staff was wonderful to work with both before and during the event. The food was delicious, the atmosphere cozy and fun, and staff was responsive to any and all requests. 10/10 would book another event with “
“Really lucky to be able to celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2024 in this magnificent pub with a supercharged atmosphere. In addition, we are entitled to beautiful sunshine on March 17 and a really mild temperature. We are talking about 24 degrees. A very nice atmosphere, good service and a few pints of Guinness which did us really good.“
“Nice dive bar up by the zoo! It's a very chill spot but has lots of seating (a very cute window spot) and is a great place to go watch sports or to go if you have a bigger group. They have cheap beer but also good draft options. We got a bucket of coors banquet for $16, and you get five of them so pretty killer deal. For sure a no frill place but our bartender was lovely and very attentive! Great spot to stop by if you're in the area or looking for a place to watch sports.“
“Food was absolutely amazing! I had their Fish and Chips and Salmon with mashed potatoes, both delicious. I wish they gave more salad/slaw. The salmon paired well with the capers and mashed potatoes. I got them to go so they must be better dining in.I didn't get any ketchup or utensils which isn't good service, I didn't get asked if I wanted them either so I had to return twice.Would definitely return if in the area.“
“I can't say enough good things about McGinty's. We've been coming here for years and just had our wedding here. Everything was amazing!!! The food was fantastic, and the chef did a fantastic job with a special request. The sound system is brand new and top-notch. And the owner, Debbie, is so wonderful, and so happy for her that this is now her place!!“
“Thrilled to have found this place while attending a training conference nearby. I am not ashamed to say I came here for lunch every day of the week The good: the atmosphere is as good as it gets for a pub. Quiet lunch stop, Friendly staff a traditional pub menu great whiskey selection and a gorgeous mirror backed ornate wood bar display. I swapped between both the Reuben and fish sandwich all week and highly recommend either. The bad: My major complaint is that this place is too far from my house but it may be good enough that I start looking for new apartments in the area. This is what it is to the maximum degree if you are in the mood for an Irish pub I don't think you can do better.“
