What User likes about McGinty's:
Great selection of beers on tap, you can have a pot, schooner or pint. Taps are clean as- our beers were exceptional and the perfect temperature. Service was beyond amazing! The owners both talked to us and we had a lovely time. It's the real deal- NOT a tourist pub or a cheap tacky sticky hole. The bar was made of beautiful raw wood and nothing was remotely dirty at all. Even the loos were perfect. A real treat. View all feedback. What Pete L doesn't like about McGinty's:
Not what we wanted. Almost empty single room pub with flat atmosphere on a Thu night. And no meals available, we were wanting dinner. Maybe ok if you just wanted a quiet drink View all feedback.
