John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden

Dinner was awesome. Our waitress was just wonderful. We wish we could have had a table inside but the outside was intersting too.

Great service the waitress was amazing. They were busy and she was better than most at other places when they aren’t even busy. The food portions are huge you get a lot for what you pay for. The food is amazing and the drinks are well mixed. Easily top ten of my food places.

What a cool way to spend a Saturday night. We had the Fish and Chips and the Southern Fried Chicken and Chips. Be warned the chips are their house-made potato chips, they are very good, but not French Frys. They have a good Irish whiskey selection. A $9 Redbreast 12 is a good price. The place was packed, and the live music was very good and just the right volume.

Excellent food, excellent service. Great scotch 😀.

Great food in a wonderful pub! We got the Reuben and bangers and mash. Both were delicious. Beer was cold and good too

WELCOME HOME!! As soon as you step through the front doors you will be welcomed home. The staff, food, environment, and drinks were phenomenal. The best part is you don’t even have to be Irish to enjoy the place.

Stopped in for dinner about 6:00pm on a busy Saturday, glad we got seated right away. Started with yummy pretzel bits with dipping cheese. I had house salad and Guinness stew. Hubby had potato soup and smoked turkey club with homemade chips. All were awesome, very fresh and reasonably priced. Noisy but cool vibe! Highly recommend!

This was a small (looking) unassuming pub that turned out to be absolutely amazing. Food, drinks, everything went above and beyond my expectations. The next time I visit St. Louis this will be a place that I will visit, without a doubt!

Food is good. The chicken could've been sent through once more. Artichoke dip is yummy. Great bar food and the environment is amazing. Service is good as well. Hadn't been here in over 10 yrs.

Awesome Irish Pub!!! Very good food. Indoor and outdoor seating. There is TVs and a bar to watch sports. The interior is decorated beautifully. Absolutely a great restaurant to go to!!!

Wonderful environment and fantastic food. Staff very polite and on top of things for the most part. My only complaint would be the woman's bathroom never got a refill of soap or paper towels while my friends and I were there after over and hour when one of us went back there again.

That being said, I still highly recommend this place and don't blame the serves for not being able to attend to the restrooms properly due to how busy they were.

I love the fact that the band was from Ireland and the experience was one I will never forget. The food tasted amazing and the drinks were wonderful as well. I loved the atmosphere and will for sure be returning in the future. 😁

I visited my family a while back, and we went to your absolutely perfect little pub / food restaurant. I loved every bite of the most delicious salad, tasty soup, and delightful ale. A fantastic place. I so look forward to having another wonderful dinner at John D. McGurks ! Thank you also for such a good variety of menu selections. ❤😀☀🍺🍜🥗

Nice interior dining and good food, but the back garden is absolutely the best in St. Louis -- so that alone pushes this place to 5 stars. In the spring it simply cannot be beat. There is plenty of seating, so even at peak times you can be seated quickly. If you are only in the mood for a drink, the bar is shaded and has great views too.

What an incredible patio. We had a brewery tour and decided not to have lunch at Budweiser plant and figured we’d find something on our way back to our hotel and stumbled into here. The patio is gorgeous and just a perfect place for beer or wine and snacks! Definitely recommend the potato skins!

This was my first visit and I really enjoyed the warm homey environment. I ordered the Guinness stew and it was quite delicious and the service was good. I don't drink alcohol, so I can't speak to the quality of the drinks but the people I was with all enjoyed their drinks.

Everything there was phenomenal. The atmosphere was amazing, we sat by the coy pond. It has a fancier vibe, but with little expectation, unlike "classy" places. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked. If you come here, get the cheesecake. It's the best cheesecake I've ever had, and I'm a fairly picky person. There was a bit of a wait, but that's to be expected. I went there once, and it's already my favorite "on occasion" restaurant.

Great local Irish Pub! Enjoyed a delicious local City Wide IPA from 4 hands brewing and ordered the recommend stuff chicken which was amazing - glad I listened! The outdoor area was also very impressive with a huge garden area, outdoor bar, pond with large goldfish - I can see why this place is so popular! Cant wait to return.

After a great Irish music concert we had to visit the one and only best Irish pub in Saint Louis! The potato soups is a must! Burgers are always great! The shrimp appetizer with bacon and ginger barbecue sauce was outstanding! A good selection of Irish whiskey and it was a perfect evening!

Sat outside on the heated patio by the koi pond drinking Guinness. Great atmosphere. The fried fish was great. The pretzels were hard and dense, which is not the same as it used to be.

I was here fairly recently for a date night to just chill out, drink, and listen to live music. It was a really good time! My girlfriend and I like this pub a lot and I'm sure we'll be back more. I'll have to try out the food next time!
