What cjsml5257 doesn't like about Mccarthy's Irish:
I thought I smelled cigarette smoke at first, but it only got worse while I was trying to enjoy my beer. I even saw a guy with a whole cup full of cigarette butts. When I asked the bartender if Lexington was supposed to be smoke-free, he apologized and confirmed that it was. We ended up leaving without finishing our drinks. The atmosphere was nice, but it was hard to enjoy it with all the smoke. View all feedback. What User likes about Mccarthy's Irish:
this is my piece before any British basketball game. the prices are great and atmosphere is like you in apub in earth. best role: they even play Irish music now and then! View all feedback.

Stopped in after a day of bourbon tours! Fun atmosphere, great spirits and collection of bourbons. Love the pictures and history on the walls.

Great service and atmosphere! it is perfectly located next to the hotel marriott.

Fun pub. good drinks. they have red breast 12 at a reasonable price.

My bff gave me the sweetest bulls I've ever had, and he's a Canadian, so I know it's real when he gave me that and it was like a mysterious man.

This is my piece before any British basketball game. the prices are great and atmosphere is like you in apub in earth. best role: they even play Irish music now...

Love going to McCarthy's. Great atmosphere and usually a good crowd. I'm not a bar person but this place reminds me of my time in England.
