    the front entrance of mccarthy's irish bar

    Good local pub I've been meaning to try for a while. They have some outside seating on the back. They have no food, just drinks. There are multiple televisions showing sports. They showed major league soccer today, so that's a big plus for me.

    3.5 STARS We were drinking nearby and wanted to keep the night going. It was a cold, rainy night, so we ducked into McCarthy's cuz we wanted some liquor. Stopped by on Wednesday, February 1st around 10:15pm. It wasn't very packed, so our group of three easily found seats at the bar. We all got beers and a Jameson. My Jameson was on the rocks. I believe the beer was an Anchor Steam? (I normally get Blue Moon, but the coloring doesn't seem right in the pic I took.) I honestly can't recall as I had quite a few drinks at the two stops before this. I think my two friends got Guinness and their Jameson neat. It was a fun combo to sip on for the hour and a half or so we were there. The feel of the bar is slightly divey, but still homey. Definitely, a chill bar. All the bartenders and patrons were nice and we had a good time. They have TVs, so it can be a fun place to catch a game and throw back a few drinks. Good neighborhood feel type of bar. I can see myself enjoying some drinks while watching a game.

    Small area in back for a small group.

    Big thank you to Mccarthy's for letting our small group host a birthday party last weekend. Eileen and Anne are fabulous to work with. Great drinks, jukebox full of great music and a lovely time spent dancing and laughing with friends.

    I remember getting calls for drinks and coming down here during the week. I guess that was because his girlfriend was working at Growing Up Art and Crafts which was right down the block. Well, she doesn't work there anymore and doesn't talk to him anymore. No more for this place.

    Service was great but they have plastic straws which was a little disappointing and only serve water in plastic cups.

    We've lived in the neighborhood for 17 years and in Noe Valley for 9 years before that and would wander over to Joxer Dalys for a pint before or after a movie.

    Quality/Quantity - Our local neighborhood bar. Indoor and outdoor seating (smoking)…read more Today it looked like every one went out front to smoke, I did not check to see if the back was closed. My buddy is a regular and knows the team that works here. This has been our go to place when I visit. Beers on tap, full bar, cocktail program, etc. Pool, darts, etc. Events - Bands, live music, etc. Happy hour available. But we always meet late at night as he is just too busy during the day and still has young kids. Atmosphere - Decent size neighborhood bar. Full bar, cocktails, wine, beer, etc. Quiet for a Friday night, which suits me just fine; actually, I prefer it that way. Open 7 days a week from noon till 2am, and we closed the bar, as usual (Yelp hours differ slightly). Events - See their website. Dart league, pool league, etc. Service - Good, not sure if she recognized me as a "regular" or because my buddy who is a regular and showed up later. Always able to open a tab or pay as you go. FYI - Free BBQ on select Sundays and munchies on select nights. Price - $80 + generous tip. Yes, we drink a lot. And could have even drank more. Actually very reasonably priced for SF, considering how many drinks we got today. Just noticed that I can buy pitchers?!?! That might save me a few $$ in the future, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2013; we have been day one customers. And will still continue to be.

    This was the first bars I went to in the Outer Sunset and, years later, it remains one of my…read morefavorites. It cozy with darts, pool, and good, affordable drinks. But the real draw is the amazing community and bartenders. They make it feel like home. We've made great neighborhood friends and the bartenders, Marcus, Margarite, and Betty, have always made us feel so welcome.
