This little pub is great if you're looking for a casual night out without too much of a crowd. The only time I've seen it really busy is for St Patrick's Day (it's an Irish bar after all). Typically a pretty dim lit place in the evening, it's a relaxed space for a few drinks or catching a game on their large TVs.
Coming during the week will get you the best deal on drinks, but their prices are pretty reasonable already. If I visit, I'm stopping in on a Monday or Thursday. Mondays offer 50% off of Angelo's pizza which is a block away. Order your pizza at McGinty's bar and they'll walk it over to you when it's done. It's fantastic, check it out. Thursday offers $3 on any of their craft beer drafts. That's a deal that's tough to beat especially with their wide selection.
Tuesday nights are music trivia night. I've attended a few times but I'm not much of music buff so I'm useless. It gets pretty competitive so bring your "A" game. The room on the other side of the bar offers some couches to lounge on and also a pool table. Check it out for your next laid-back night out!
