It's an Irish pub in Mexico. lol. The vibe was cool. Everyone wore kilts, they had your typical Irish pub fare. We only had beers but the food smelled amazing. I just wish we had more time to have gotten to try the food. Our server was pleasant. Would go back again. read more

There are Irish bars all over the world ; this is not one. Which would be ok if they tried a little. Did you ever eat a bad sandwich just because you were sooo hungry and waited so long? Yeah, that. Not a single beer from the UK. But the beers were the least of the problems So many great spots in PDC, this ain't one! read more

Muy mal servicio al cliente , todas las órdenes estaban mal . Pedimos alitas de habenero se confundieron y dieron de najarandada . La comida tenían ingredientes que no exclusivamente pedimos que no estuvieran incluidos en la comida . El ambiente de lo peor música extremadamente fuerte que no permitía escuchar y te dolían los oídos hasta el segundo piso . No cuentan con cubiertos , te dan picadientes. La las bebidas estaban calientes y no te traían un vaso con hielo . El baño no cuenta con agua o jabón para lavarte las manos , solo hay un balde con agua donde todos los clientes ingieren sus manos sin volver a cambiar el agua . De los más inigienico y asqueroso No lo recomendaría , tampoco volvería a venir . read more

Cheese sticks were good. Wings were good, very small but I guess that's why they're so cheap. Buffalo was spicy. Chipotle BBQ was good. Parmesan fries were good. Service was decent. read more

See all

I ordered their burger deal and boneless wings off of Rappi. The burger was too finely blended and had that meatloaf seasoning type of taste and chew/springyness that I find off-putting. They loaded the burger with too much mayo and mustard and wet lettuce. At least the bun was decent brioche: soft and fluffy. The boneless wings were too hard to chewy and sat in too much oil. They tasted very homemade in a bad way. It seemed like they were not brined. And the blue cheese they used oddly tasted like sour cream. read more

Yummy and CHEAP dinner last night with great people watching at McCarthys Irish Pub. Monday is wings night (6.90 per wing) with a ton of sauce choices. Haven't been there in about a year, will definitely be returning! Thanks to Hugo for great and kind service ! read more

Very poor service and seem to always be out of something. Ordered nachos two days in a row and ended up with a different product both times. First had jalapeños second had guac. AVOID AT ALL COST. read more

We stopped in here to get a break from the endless Dos Equis/Corona only Playa Del Carmen beer options, as they seemed to have a fuller beer menu than most area spots. We couldn't find a spot outside, so went in to the bar. I fortunately grabbed my friend before he ordered, as the interior absolutely reeked of what my friend generously guessed was "burnt Parmesan cheese" but I think I more accurately pegged as "acres of puke." Looked as dirty and unkempt as it smelled. We ran across the street to Guy Fieri's, and were actually happier/relieved to be there (let that sink in for a minute!) read more

Couldn't wait for it to open, as it doesn't open til 2:00pm We spent the two hour wait at Guys across the street until opened. 10 of us went over to give it a try, Worst Idea ever! Ask for Special - Guinness, Jameson and Baileys, waiter had no Idea, pointed to it on menu. Most others ordered just Jameson. He came back to tell me "No Guinness", I said ok SIERRA Stout ok, came back to tell me only Samual Adams Stout, I said fine. Brought all drinks, 4 were incorrect and only brought me Sam Addams, No Jameson or Baileys . Went and paid him only 300 pesos for all, in front of manager, they were both clueless. He asked about tip, told him it would be on table, we like to hide it, hope he's still looking for it. This place is s joke and embarrassment to the Title "Irish Bar". Made mistake of not checking Yelp first. Never again, always check yelp first!!!! Should never of left Guys! read more

I walked in, ordered an car bomb. The bartender didn't know what I was talking about. I ordered 1 shot of Jameson, and 1 shot of Bailey's -- which they had. I asked them to put it in a shot glass. They were confused and gave it to me in a tumbler. After explaining what a shot glass was, I asked for a 1.2 pint of Guinness. They did not have Guinness. Then I asked for a dark beer, to which they offered me Heineken. I took my shot of Jameson and Bailey's and asked for my bar tab. Even waiting for a bar tab was complicated. I had to ask a few times from a few different people. Paid for my tab, and walked out. This is not an Irish Pub. It's a piece of shit tourist trap bar. They don't train their bartenders, or hosts. Even other tourist trap-like places will at least train their staff. Avoid at all costs. read more

The music was great and the drinks are also good and cheap with a variety of sizes for drinks. However, the food isn't the best idea to get here. You'll be tempted to order wings but they are tiny. I wouldn't mind the food because it's still a great time but waiting for a tab is like waiting for your ex to get back with you... it's gonna take you patience and extra effort read more

Stopped in for a few drinks and some music but had to leave even before the waiter took our order. The band was outrageously loud (I was told by locals it's the norm for McCarthy's) which is totally unnecessary in this small place. Forget about having conversation here, hope the management brings down the volume or gets a better sound system. read more

Mccarthys Irish Pub - Outrageously Loud - Even Outside - Pubs Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

Do not go here!!! They take advantage of American tourists. I have visited this place six times in the last 6 weeks. All was good until 2 nights ago when they did not give me back my credit card and then subsequently charged it three more times throughout the night, well after we left. The manager was the one running cards the whole night and there's no way he did not know this was going on. I gave him the opportunity to return my card and refund the charges but instead I will be pursuing fraud with my credit card company. The management was extremely rude. read more

Live music is great. That's about it. Food is garbage. Eat before you come here maybe even pound a few unless you enjoy drinking hot beer. BYOR = Bring your own ranch, they don't serve ranch here only blue cheese. Service is pretty bad upstairs, so avoid going up there. read more

Mccarthys Irish Pub - Customer shouting at waiter to get his attention. - Pubs Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

Great live music & a great beer selection! That's what this place has going for it. Don't order the nachos though - it's really a crime to eat here when there are such amazing food options around! read more

Avoid Mccarthys at all cost. The service is really bad and the manager keeps coming up with ways to charge people more for the same thing you ate the day before. If you want to have a bad experience and get ripped off then this is the place for you. read more

Great bar to chill and enjoy rock music. Half priced beer during happy hour from 2-9 PM.

Pass on this place. The other negative reviews are spot on. They have Guinness in a can, other than that on tap they have Dos XXs Lager and Amber, Heineken, and a local beer. Their thing in big mugs of Dos XXs. Nothing Irish about the place. The staff all seem like they hate their lives. read more

The only thing Irish about this bar is the name and the jersey the server was wearing. A long list of beers was given to us and we rattled of At least five which they did not have. Finally settled on a Guinness and a XX Amber. Received a XX lager. We sat outside as it was stuffy inside. Nice seating with umbrellas to Keep the sun or rain off you. Nice people watching place. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Server was friendly. Unfortunately due to the lack of beer choices we were not impressed with this place. Having one Irish beer does Not make you an Irish pub. It's an attitude and an ambience. This place doesn't have either unfortunately. They played American music which Can be ok but Michael Jackson and Metallica are never heard in real Irish pubs, trust me we have been to Ireland and visited many, and this sealed the deal for a one and done. I would skip it if you are in the area. read more

Nice place! I will come back. nice food and nice people. I ordered wings and beers, enjoyed the visit

Zero stars. I sat down. Ordered my drink to watch the game. Took almost 10 minutes for hostess to tell me the table was reserved. There was no signs to indicate that. She told me that it was reserved for 6 people but only 4 chairs there. I politely told her that and that didn't matter. I sat at the bar and finally got my drink but it was not what I ordered. I am currently looking at the table and no one has sat down there in 20 us minutes. read more

Literally stopped inside and saw that they had bottled Paulaner beer. I ordered one to go and the waiter opened it in front me. I took one sip and knew it was Dos XX!!!! They literally filled the bottle with Dos XX. I have never soo angry in my life at a bar. I gave it to a random guy that agreed with me. read more
