The food is traditional Irish fare at moderate prices. Great live music. The patio is huge and beautiful. Drinks a bit on the pricier side but worth it for the atmosphere.- Great live Irish music and the best patio in St. Louis. Enjoy dinner on the patio and then come inside for an Irish coffee or one of their aged Irish whiskeys and enjoy the music.
Riverfront TimesAugust 14, 2014Such 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. Read more
Michael MorganApril 18, 2021The patio here is beautiful! It is huge! During the colder months there is a fire pit and numerous heaters. During the summer there is a fountain. Only negative is this place can get pretty wild.- Riverfront TimesNovember 20, 2014A St. Louis institution since 1978, John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden in Soulard is known just as much for its food and beer as the traditional Irish music seven nights a week. Read more

DJ DB1November 14, 2012Great place to go have drink and eat or even take a date. We Irish do it right you can bet yur arse.
B. Kyle BassFebruary 7, 2011Be sure to hit up some fantastic live Irish music...they bring in some great performers that help make it a great atmosphere. Oh, and they do have an ATM, which can come in handy.
Always gets very busy on the weekends so if you want a table, get there early.
Kathryn Mackey DennisAugust 16, 2014Schlafly's pa, boulevard wheat, 5 day IPA are great! All the food is fantastic! And the Patio?! Awesome!
John KrukMay 20, 2011Very authentic. Best cormed beef sandwitch that I've eaten for ages. Draft Irish beers. Band from Ireland playing now.
Justin J.April 23, 2012Great place to grab food(early though!) party place at night. Great outdoor bars/patio
Burgers are good, but order usually overcooked so order 1 down (ie "medium" for a "medium well")
Irish music, Irish dancing, great food and drink. I love grabbing some Magner's and a couple of reels with my Irish Dance friends here.
Michael BrimhallFebruary 24, 2013Probably the best Irish pub I've ever been to. I stop in every time in St. Louis

Matt FerchFebruary 2, 2010Best patio in St. Louis! Inside is also great, especially when there's an Irish band playing.
Russ SchultzMarch 10, 2013Food was good but service was very slow and waiter came back to our table 15 minutes AFTER we ordered and asked us what we ordered because he'd forgotten. Um?
Singing in the shower is cool but stay out of the fountain. Thanks.
Plan a party with them - they're very accommodating and can handle last-minute!
Matt KuppingerFebruary 23, 2011Stop in after work, after a game or just anytime. Good food, good drinks.
