Established 30 years ago, John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden has risen to the top of the class among the Irish Pubs in St. Louis, in fact, Esquire Magazine, in its June, 2007 Edition, saluting the best bars in America, chose John D. McGurk's as its only bar so honored in the State of Missouri.
McGurk's is known throughout the Midwest for its great Irish music, food, drink, and its 8,000 square foot outdoor garden, complete with breathtaking landscaping, a fountain, a waterfall, and two terrific outdoor bars. Inside and out, McGurk's is nearly 20,000 square feet of pure Irish fun.
Irish musicians entertain the patrons nightly, traveling to St. Louis from Galway to Dublin, Cork to Deny.
The inside of McGurk's is a series of strung together rooms and bars and its brick and wood decor with wonderful Irish art and artifacts makes one think it is enjoying a pub in Dublin. McGurk's has become a great place to celebrate special occasions like rehearsal dinners and private banquets.
McGurk's has all the available Irish beer and spirits and serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. In addition to typical pub grub, McGurk's offers wonderful steaks, assorted fish entrees, pasta specialties, and a delightful rack of lamb.
Great food, drink, and entertainment make McGurk's a memorable stop.
