Go Figure this…Tim is doubling back. He was on the eastern seaboard, but now he is in Mid America in St. Louis. Here is his one stop for today:
MCGURK’S
314-776-8309
1200 RUSSELL BLVD
ST. LOUIS, MO 63104
McGurks St. L.
This really is an expansive and grand place. Established in 1978 as a one room pub house, John D. McGurk’s Irish Pub and Garden quickly rose to become a top Irish Pub in St. Louis. In fact, Esquire Magazine, in its June, 2011 Edition, saluting the best bars in America, chose John D. McGurk’s as its only bar honored in the city of St. Louis. McGurk’s is known throughout the Midwest for its great Irish music, food, drink, and its 15,000+ square foot outdoor garden, complete with breathtaking landscaping, a fountain, a waterfall, and three terrific outdoor bars. Kinda of an Irish pub theme park…except all the lands are Irish pubs.
Inside and out, McGurk’s is 20,000 square feet of pure Irish fun. Irish musicians entertain the patrons nightly, traveling to St. Louis from Galway to Dublin, Cork to Derry. The inside of McGurk’s is a series of strung together dining rooms and bars. Its brick and wood décor with wonderful Irish artifacts makes one think they are enjoying a pub in Dublin. McGurk’s has become a great place to celebrate special occasions like rehearsal dinners and private banquets.
Aside from typical pub grub, McGurk’s offers a full menu of steaks, assorted fish entrees, pasta specialties, and several delightful traditional Irish dishes. Tim can actually get a breath of fresh air and a good meal and a moment of rest.
