Description

Such a welcoming place that it equally suits the blue-collar after-work drinkers, the hungry neighborhood regulars at lunch and dinner and the preppily dressed west-county throngs on weekends. The standard pub fare is unquestionably good -- with an Irish stew worth dreaming about at night and a burger to make an idiot of yourself for -- but surprisingly, the hoity-toitier choices such as pesto tortellini and Bailey's cheesecake are just as expertly done, as if they've been part of the Irish repertoire for generations. More importantly, McGurk's, considered by many to be the pre-eminent Irish bar in St. Louis, pulls arguably the best Guinness in town. The tiny stage is host to live Irish music seven nights a week, ranging from rowdy sing-a-longs to traditional reels and jigs played by master folk musicians.

What's often overshadowed is the pub's consistently great food and low, low prices. On paper, McGurk's Caesar salad (which was not named for Julius in Rome but... More »

  • 2004 | Best Bar Food

    It's a dangerous combination, thirst and hunger, because usually you quench the former to such an extent that sating the latter becomes iffy. You are this drunk because you haven't eaten, dumbass, so you're willing to gobble up anything with salt on it. Flavor becomes secondary to filling the gut with something that'll absorb the poison -- specifically, meat and bread and grease (and maybe some sort of potato). Real food for real drinkers We say John D. McGurk's Irish Pub, most definitely,... More »
