McG’s Irish Pub & Grill

Since last year 2015 the owner has been investing in fixing up and expanding the place, it should be completed some time in 2016. The change will be new dart boards, tall tables and chairs, pool table, band stand, shuffle board. Of course the great expansion of medium and high end Scotch, Whiskey as well as a wide selection of Beer. As always the food is far better than bar food. So, if you enjoy the good stuff in a No Drama location, come on down and meet the friendly servers and locals.

I have frequented Mr G’s, usually during football season. The hamburgers are indeed excellent, but the service is very very poor. To make matters worse, they have a bartender /​waitress,(Bernice), with a very bad attitude and a chip on her ample dray horse-​esque shoulder the size of Connecticut … The former bartender, Adrian, and April both were very friendly and nice if not delightful, as was the owner Phil, who actually had the class and decency to actually give me a ride home once. ! However, I’d personally stay away until they hire more thoughtful, professional and less caustic employees who don’t overreact with resentment when details such as cold food /​missing utensils /​wrong order delivered are objected too. Lastly, I know it’s a dive bar, but they should pay much closer attention to the cleanliness of their men’s room — as there is usually a pool of urine on the floor surrounding the toilet seat — you are afraid to pull down your pants in fear of getting them soaked.

Big space, big projector TV screens, big whiskey selection, big group tables = big bore (?!)
This location should be so much more. Unfortunately, a typical Saturday night here is a handful of middle-​aged men at the bar, quietly drinking away their divorces, while groups of 30-​somethings who went to high school together shoot pool and loudly yack about their friends’ arrests and relationship drama.
It’s a restaurant-​bar that could probably accommodate 150+ people but instead has 25 at the peak of Saturday night. The service is decent, but that’s not enough to make up for the bland atmosphere. As the Valley population grows, hopefully this great space will see better use.

most of the bartenders are amazing. Chill place, good food, good vibes.

Been going to this pub with my friend for a while and thought it was cool until tonight. Ordered a $ 6 draft beer and was only given half a glass. The barkeep said they had run out and would knock down the price because it was only half a beer. Come to find out when I get my bill I get charged full price. When I ask why its full price, I get met by the owner and bar manager who then proceed to tell me its full price. After arguing my case about what the barkeep said they proceed to strong arm me into paying full price. Wishing to avoid further conflict and injury I paid the bill. Being threatened over three dollars real classy McG’s will not be back ever.

This bar is great, especially when you narrow down your options in the area.
There’s a pool table and dart boards.
The staff is absolutely awesome. Everyone is so friendly… Damien is my favorite bartender.
I’ve come here after work a couple times for happy hour.
They have a great selection of beers on tap, and they make strong drinks.
They also serve burgers, french fries, mozzarella sticks, spinach dip etc.
Very casual spot, located right next door to the Ramada :)

Cool Irish pub is the shit hole of the city they call Chatsworh!
both the bartenders Beatrice and Sharon are very cool and cute, kinda dirty and unclean since Adrian left as bar manager… but I’ll be back!
great selection of beer… good food… what more can you ask for?

I don’t think that this place it’s still owned by the same guy that started mcg’s. I miss Phil…
I literally went to this bar the night it opened years ago and loved it. They had great beer selections (this is the only thing that has held over the years), the owner was great, and the staff was friendly and great as well.
After having not been here for quite a while, I came back a couple of times recently, and it’s been very underwhelming.
The place where lots of 20-​somethings would rage at on a Friday night has turned into the place where creepy 40+ year old men get too drunk and then all try to hit on one of the only 3 women in the place at the same time…
The lighting is terrible, the benches around the walls could use a good repair/​replacement. And the men’s bathroom always smells like $h1t. Like very unpleasant. Like had to walk out of the bathroom to take a deep breath and hold my breath while I peed. And you could tell it wasn’t a freshly supplied smell, like there it’s neglect in taking care of the bathroom. Gross.
If you look at the top shelf above the bar, there is a glass case with many bottled beers which they atleast used to serve at one time. In the couple of times I’ve gone recently, I haven’t ordered any of them, but my instinct says they probably don’t have half off them around anymore. Also, That glass case at the top could use a real good dusting. Makes the place feel super dingy how much dust is up there.
This place used to be THE spot to be at, but now it’s just another dive bar, which makes me sad. This place needs Phil back…

I actually thought this place was either closing down or just opened. I thought it was supposed to be an Irish pub, but it looks like an old Mexican restaurant that was half way through renovations. I just didn’t ever expect salmon colored paint in an Irish pub. Totally weird.
Pros: Great selection of beer. Full bar and the bartender I had was very pleasant. Bathroom was decently clean.
Cons: Location. If you don’t live in Chatsworth, the drive isn’t convenient. From what I remember, there are wires hanging from the ceiling, which I guess used to be projectors and/​or lighting. The seating is terrible. It’s basically a bunch of tables, with benches, thrown into a uncomfortably light room. There appears to be a stage, but if it’s been used, they forgot to clean up afterwards. The parking lot behind the place looks like where you park your car if you’re looking to get raped and then have your car stolen. Street parking only I guess. We couldn’t play any of the games while we were there… we were told they didn’t pay a gaming permit? I’m not sure how that works, but people used the pool table as a drink holder.
From the looks of it, I’m still thinking maybe this bar is getting ready to shut down. Nothing Irish about this joint. Nothing worth going out of your way for, but if you live near it… I guess go have a good beer since the one good thing is the selection.

Incredible beer selection, knowledgeable bartenders, and friendly patrons! I picked this bar randomly from a list of bars in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is larger than you’d expect from the outside and very clean. Many friendly faces and helpful tips on other bars and places to eat in the area for out-​of-​towners like myself. I look forward to my next visit to this wonderful pub!

Cool, chill, dive, jukebox spot. Crowd is in the 30s range. Good selection of beer on tap. Prices are ok. I came in on a Friday night. It was pretty empty. There’s a pool table if that’s your thing.

Passed this place up as our initial stop as the place next door (Star Bar) had a better rating. Although the Star Bar isn’t a 1 star it’s not even close to the 4−½ it’s rated.
Anyway, back to McG’s…
This place is awesome. Super clean, pool tables, TVs, Darts, great food selection and great pours. Don’t make the same mistake we made and give this place a try first. You won’t be sorry.

This place is AMAZING! My boyfriend and I came here for the first time and had the best bartender named Damien. He completely took care of us and helped us find a great beer named «Hobgoblin». The next time we came we had a bartender named Courtney who was super attentive and such a sweetheart! This time we ordered food and definitely would recommend the fish and chips! Every experience we have had since has been great! This is our new GO TO!

Great food and good selection of rare draft beers. Not a ton of irish music on the juke (I’m ok with that)
Lots of fun to be had!

McGee’s is a great local place to watch some football on Sundays and have some decent bar food. Don’t be in a hurry because there is usually only 1 person working the bar/​tables and 1 person doing the cooking.
Atmosphere is friendly and it’s usually an older crowd, certainly will not be a hit for the 20 something crowd.
As for the prior negative reviews, managing expectations is important. This is not Beverly Hills, it’s Chatsworth folks. Things are a little rough around the edges out here, and we like it that way.

My bestie is a loud Irish gal who loves all things Irish. So naturally, when we arrived next door at the Ramada, we were delighted to see none else but an Irish pub next door. This place is great! We rang in my 30^th here with some birthday cake shots and some other tasty drinks. The bartender was very mellow and jovial. Even the folks playing pool behind us seemed pretty nice.
I dug the layout of this place – projectors instead of tv’s in one room, a cozy nook-​like area with a chalkboard wall listing all the beers. The music was alternative-​ish and good. It was pretty clean and had mellow vibes.

It’s no surprise I found this future and possibly past crime scene of a bar in chatsworth. I’d rather be on a Malaysian Arline’s flight than in mc g’s ever again. The hellish war zone that is the bar area is frequented by underage children and ex-​cons. When you finally manage to gain the attention of one of their highly skilled employes they stare in amazement and wonder as to what you could possibly be bothering them for. After receiving a pitcher of beer that must be 2 parts dirty rag and one part trash beer you have the pleasure of looking for a table. Don’t worry about finding a clean one they’re all equally shit.
Bonus I found shoes in the bathroom from Payless so we can tell they’re quality stuff
All in all would go again. I mean, you can’t get more chlamydia.

The place is small/​typical dive size. The service inside was alright. Granted, I went on busy St Patricks day. Still took foreeever to get a pitcher, and I saw server just sorta dragging there feet in the back.
The bouncer out front though, really an enjoyable face to see before you even enter the place. Once inside he stepped behind the bar to get something to drink. He noticed I had been waiting a while, so he called someone down to help me out.
The atmosphere was nothing too special. But since I went w. My roommates, I had fun. The green beer was more like green water… stuck with blue moon and Hoegaarden the rest of the night.
Recommend going for a drink, but not a «night out» type of experience.

I’ve only been to this bar twice, the first time turned me off, and the second time, my girlfriend and I were sucked in for another drink coming from the starbar right next door. The first time I came here, the guy bartender was very rude to us, obviously showing his discontent with his job or maybe just having a bad day. They table we sat at was unkept, and it wasn’t too busy to make rounds and just wipe a table down. We ordered our Jameson and ginger ales, which came out to a usual $ 14 before tip.
The second visit (which was a cinco de mayo) yielded about the same type of impression. We went up to the bar, and even though it wasn’t busy, took us a while to be acknowledged and be helped. The bartender seemed like she was paying more attention to her friends/​usual customers rather than serving those who have been waiting. I ended up grabbing one drink, throwing it down, paid in cash with tip, then left. I won’t be returning anytime soon.
