The food is absolutely phenomenal! Such a friendly atmosphere it’s my first time here and I feel like I’ve been coming here for years! You have got to try the corned beef egg rolls and the Old Bay dry rub wings!

The best food and the best bartender (Jack) on Main Street in Farmingdale. We’ve been coming here for months. You can’t beat the quality of the food. The chefs are absolutely phenomenal. The place is always clean.Even the men’s bathroom. If you come say hello to Jack. Try the lamb chops and don’t listen to Patrick cause Jack is the man.

My friend, who was visiting from Florida, and I went to McGrath’s Pub last Wednesday. I chose this location based on its positive Google reviews and a recommendation from another friend.
We arrived around 6:30 p.m., and although the place had plenty of open seats, we had to wait for the staff to acknowledge us, as they were facing away from the entrance. When we finally asked, we were told to sit anywhere except the area reserved for bingo (with no reserved signs on tables), which was supposed to start at 7 p.m. (but actually didn’t start until 8).
We ordered pork sliders to share. I had the salmon sandwich, and my friend ordered a house salad and a baked potato, along with takeout wings. She had two beers, and I had two glasses of Prosecco. The salmon sandwich and my friend’s meal were both enjoyable. However, the fries that came with my meal were overly salty, burnt, and dry. I informed our server, Sofia, who was generally attentive throughout the evening, although she did not introduce herself or offer a drinks menu. That would have been helpful, especially for first-time guests. The sliders were a bit dry but still okay. One thing we found confusing was the pricing on the Prosecco – one glass was $4, and the second was $7. When we asked, we were told the first was during happy hour. It would have been helpful to know that earlier so I could’ve ordered both during that window.
The music level was comfortable, allowing for easy conversation. Although bingo began later than expected, it turned out to be a fun end to the night – my friend even won a T-shirt.
One downside is the parking situation. In most Long Island towns, paid parking ends at 6 p.m., but in Farmingdale, it starts at 5 p.m. and continues until 1 a.m., which is inconvenient for evening visitors.
Overall, it was a decent experience with some hits and misses. I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars based on service and food alone, but the fun of bingo and my friend’s win bumps it up to a 4. I’d say give it a try – your experience might be better.

Love this spot. When I lived in Farmingdale, this was my go to spot for good Irish food. Very authentic menu is very straightforward, but the food is always really good. Love the shepherds pie love the Smashburger love the sausage platter. Owners are really nice and welcoming, and one of my good friends Jack , is a bartender there. One of the kindest and caring person that met in my year living in Farmingdale. I highly recommend this place

Came with my family, Jack was AMAZING, greeted us the second we walked in:) The sweetest, most personable human ever. I can NOT praise Jack enough. He is so beyond dedicated to his job and the happiness of his customers, you leave feeling like a friend. I also got the chance to meet the owners, and they were the most genuine, down-to-earth people. Can not speak higher on a place then here!

My father, 97, born in Ireland, father of 10, passed. Where to gather and celebrate his life? McGrath’s
Manager closed the entire location for us. We arrived 2pm Saturday, after Funeral and Mass & burial, sad, dehydrated, exhausted and quite famished. We were greeted by Sophia and Sean & Manager. Hugged, condolences shared and delicious appetizers ready to eat.
Sean was terrific. Sophia was quick and wonderful serving the 50 people dropping in all at once with smiles. Within 15 minutes we all had beverages and food.
Staff loaded up our family photos and played Irish tunes. All were able to relax and share some good crac.
Thank you.

Visited with a group of friends last Saturday for some food and drinks. Great atmosphere and the service was great. The only downside was the food. The Irish Stew was mediocre at best. The Shepherds Pie was 99% potatoes with no filling. The baked potato was not baked but microwaved and not cooked fully. Will visit again in the future to try again and see if it was a one off.

Your Buffalo Wings are gummy and slimy beneath the outer seasoned skin layer. After 2 I’m forcing them down. Other places I can eat 15 in a sitting. I tried several times to speak to Russ, but he is never available. I have sent letters and emails and I get no response. Not even a response to this. Guess you don’t really care, and that sucks. Believe me, I speak for many individuals who DO care because we love your place. Anyone who tells you that your wings are good is lying to your face.
Everyone who visits should be honest, like me.
I am writing to you as a loyal patron of L.I McGraths in Farmingdale since the moment you opened the doors, and as someone who sincerely wishes to see your bar continue to thrive as a desirable destination for social gatherings, casual dining, and community engagement. It is in that spirit of constructive feedback, rather than idle criticism, that I feel compelled to raise an issue which, while it may appear minor on the surface, has had a surprisingly significant impact on my own dining decisions and those of my social circle.
Specifically, I wish to address the current state of the buffalo wings offered at your establishment; yes, this is a serious issue, mainly because literally everything on your menu is fantastic…and I mean EVRYTHING…else!
Buffalo Wings are, by most reasonable standards, not merely another menu item. In a bar setting, they function as a cornerstone offering—an item that anchors group decisions about where to congregate, watch sporting events, and spend discretionary income. Unfortunately, in their present form, your wings fall extremely short of the expectations commonly associated with such a foundational dish; like, really below standards. Whether due to preparation, sauce quality, texture, seasoning balance, or overall execution, the end result is a product that does not align with the otherwise inviting atmosphere your bar works to cultivate, and this is quite concerning to me since you are the only Irish Pub on Main Street.
The practical consequence of this is regrettable but unavoidable: the wings have become a decisive factor preventing me and several of my friends from choosing your bar as our gathering place. When selecting where to spend an evening, particularly in a group setting, the consensus often hinges on food reliability.
This is not feedback offered lightly. On the contrary, it reflects repeated discussions and shared experiences over time. We would genuinely prefer to frequent your bar more often, but the current wing offering consistently dissuades us from doing so. It is difficult to justify choosing a venue when a staple item is perceived as inferior to readily available alternatives nearby.
I strongly believe that this situation is entirely correctable. A reevaluation of the recipe, sourcing, preparation method, or even a complete overhaul of the wing program could yield substantial benefits. Improving this single menu item would likely result in increased repeat business, longer stays, and stronger word-of-mouth recommendations—particularly among groups for whom wings are a deciding factor rather than an afterthought.
Please understand that this letter is written with respect and genuine interest in your success. I would not take the time to articulate these concerns if I did not believe your establishment was otherwise worth returning to. My hope is that you will receive this message in the constructive manner in which it is intended and consider whether the current buffalo wings truly reflect the standard you wish to set. Do a sampling with your entire staff of your wings vs Wings Over, right next door, and that place will win 100 out of 100. I know you can do better, because you simply cannot do any worse. Please change them, I’m begging you.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of revisiting your bar under improved culinary circumstances and, ideally, once again, recommending it without reservation to friends and acquaintances.
Respectfully,
A Concerned (and Hopeful) Patron

Honestly terrible experience. I went here for the first time and the owners were jerks. This bar is mainly for underage kids that like to screw around. This was my first awful bar experience that I’ve had going to bars for 10+ years. I love the other bars on main street but this one honestly should get shut down and reopened by new owners.
