We’re from Brooklyn, NY and were on our way to Houston when we decided to make a quick stop—and we’re so glad we did! McCarthy’s Irish Bar is super cool and authentic, the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel at home. Great atmosphere, friendly people, and that true Irish pub vibe you don’t come across often. Definitely worth the stop!

McCarthy’s Irish Bar is one of the best authentic Irish bars I have been to in the United States. As a true Guinness connoisseur, I’ve been to many Irish bars all over the United States (and around the world). McCarthy’s is easily my top 5 of all time. Everyone working there is awesome. Bobby (the owner) is a legend! This place has gained a patron for life.

McCarthy’s has been a staple spot for me and my college buddies for what feels like, ages, it still holds up! We may not stay out as late as we used to, but we still find ourselves coming back here from time to time. Whether it’s before or after a UK game, this place always hits the mark. Great pints, friendly staff, and an atmosphere that just feels like home. If you’re in the downtown area looking for a good drink and even better vibes, McCarthy’s is the spot. And yes, they can pour a proper Guinness.

The bartender working the night of 8/5 is an absolute rock star! He never stopped moving the entire hour and a half we were there. He was the only one working and absolutely slayed! There was a convention in town and it seemed like everyone came in at 10pm. He kept up with minimal wait times. As someone who works in the service industry, I just want to give him a shout out for being absolutely incredible!

Barely any room to move but if you can manage to move to the bar than the bartender is very nice and service is pretty fast

McCarthy’s is definitely the quintessential Irish bar in town. Not O’Neill’s or Lynaugh’s, although there’s nothing wrong with either of those spots. McCarthy’s is just better, plus it’s three bars in one! I love having Magner’s and Guinness on draft. They’re always open crazy early for rugby and soccer games. They only have two TVs in the main bar, but that’s usually more than enough. They also have a TouchTunes jukebox, which tends to be a little quiet most of the time. Their best kept secret is the massive back patio that spans the length of the building and is divided up into little cabanas. Definitely more of a college vibe on the weekends.

A must visit in Lexington. The best Guinness outside of Dublin. Mike and Nick are great bartenders.

Love love this place. It’s a tradition to always come here after the shamrock shuffle. We ALWAYS have an amazing time with amazing people. The CHEERS for the Irish (or the claiming to be Irish) 😉

My favorite pub in the ENTIRE State! And the country, for that matter. Not a restaurant, though.
