McGinty's Public House

I had the veggie Cottage pie and it was excellent. My friend had the Irish breakfast which was also excellent. Atmosphere was very Pubish and fun and when we asked for the Caps game on one of the TVs they were accommodating. Service was great and friendly. Took home the Salmon entree for my son and he said it was excellent too.

Guinness was excellent. At the time an awful smell came from the first floor. Maybe sewage smell. Service was excellent. Old bay wings had wayyyyy too much old bay. Made the wings super salty and they did not taste fresh.

The food was honestly great, and several of the other servers were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere had potential, and I was planning to stay longer. Unfortunately, our server had a very aggressive and unfriendly attitude, which really changed the tone of the experience. I even asked if a specific game could be put on, and the response felt dismissive rather than helpful. It made the environment uncomfortable enough that I ended up leaving early, and my party chose to meet somewhere else instead. I’m sharing this because the food and much of the staff were solid — but one negative interaction can really sour what would otherwise be a great visit.

Prices are reasonable. The bottom was short staffed, but the waitress did her best. You can always ask the bartender if you need something. Food is pretty good. It’s refreshing to have a decent restaurant to go to that’s reasonably priced.

Hosted a birthday party at McGinty’s that included a secluded private room. The service was exceptional. We got to choose from a huge variety of bar bites/appetizers to serve at the party (the food was delicious). I definitely recommend it you’d like to host a small event. Debbie and her husband were very helpful in helping us prepare for the event. We thank McGinty’s for hosting such a wonderful night.
