McGonigel's Mucky Duck

My friend and I decided to walk to this place while in the area. Immediately we were stopped by a man at the door asking if we had tickets, we said no we just want to go to the bar. He curtly said we can’t go inside, we can only walk around to the back. I understand the idea of a ticketed event but there was no sign at the front indicating the current event & the worker at the front could have been nicer about directing us. After walking to the back to order a drink, we were pleasantly surprised at the taste of the Irish coffee. Not sure if I’ll go back because of the prices and overall staff interactions.

Excellent venue for a show, dinner, and drinks! Very old school, classy, Irish pub! I ate the Wee Trio which is shepherds pie, chicken pot pie, and steak, mushroom, and Guinness I believe.

TL;DR must visit, delicious authentic Irish food and decor with live music frequently. Today was my first time coming into this wonderful establishment and it was well worth the visit. I've driven past many times but should have entered much sooner. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff was welcoming and friendly. We had a lot of questions and the bartender was patient and knowledgeable and answered all of them. When you enter the stage is to your left and the bar is toward the back though you can't really see it from the front door. There lots of Irish history and culture lining the walls. We stopped in looking for a nice breakfast but unfortunately missed brunch. FORTUNATELY however they have a full irish breakfast on the menu all day and we jumped at the opportunity. We got a full Irish breakfast with an appetizer of some scotch eggs and let me tell you it was well worth it. Its a tradition when I travel back to ireland to get a full Irish breakfast in Dublin airport and this put me right back there fresh off the plane and with a delicious hot meal in front of me. The beans, the irish bacon, sausage, tomato and eggs were fantastic and the best and closest to an authentic Irish breakfast I've had outside of Ireland and moms kitchen. Will certainly be back and might have to make saturday breakfast a tradition here. We also got fish and chips to go but haven't tried them yet though they look delicious. Don't forget to ask for hp sauce.

I went for a Bruce Robison concert tonight. Was sat at a 2 top in the very front row for no extra charge. Believe because I was a little earlier than the other 2 tops.

Service was fast considering the venue and setup. VERY good selection of cocktails, beer and wine. Even had some of my favorite beers available from Prairie Artisan ales.

I am half English and lived part of my life in England. The pub style food was better than most I have had in England and suggest the pie trio.

Definitely will go back.

Their food and their drinks are always delicious, and the atmosphere is always great. Been going here on and off for 5 or so years and it still is extra special. The staff is amazing, and super tentative to the patrons. I will always recommend this place if you're looking for good food and amazing drinks!
