Today was our second visit. We brought my mom and sister. They loved, as do we, the Irish vibe. The music, the wall coverings all make you feel like you are immersed in all things Irish. We had a black and blue, the Irish Ozark, an Irish coffee and beach cinnamon whiskey with root beer. Service is excellent. We sat in the comfy area by the fireplace. Can't wait to come back! read more

The Pub McDonough - Black and Blue - Irish Pub Near Me - Granbury, Texas

We absolutely love this local Irish Pub, it's one of Granbury's true gems and just a short walk from the town square. The service is always friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the staff genuinely care about making every visit enjoyable. The drink selection is top-notch, with plenty of great beverages to suit any mood. The food is what keeps us coming back. My wife never misses a chance to order the Irish Tacos, and I've made it my mission to try just about everything on the menu. So far, not a single dish has disappointed. The Sunday specials are always worth the trip, and if you go, do yourself a favor and order The Dubliners. It's one of those dishes that defines comfort food done right. And when the Scotch Egg makes an appearance, don't hesitate, it's a must-try classic. Whether you're stopping in for a pint, a hearty meal, or just some good company, this place never misses a beat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic flavors, great vibes, and consistently excellent service right here in Granbury. read more

Nice atmosphere nice food sweet with our grandkids and outside space for them to move and cute inside too. I'll definitely be back.

Enjoyed a properly drawn Guinness. The corn-beef egg rolls were good. And enjoyed the Irish Stew with brown bread. Good service and music! It was fun to find an Irish Pub in Granbury! read more

Food was amazing! Service was spot on! Atmosphere reminds me of the one and only time I was in Dublin!!! Music playing from overhead was perfect. read more

Wonderful service, cute ambiance. The Fish & Chips is out of this world. The Best Fish & Chips I've ever eaten. Slightly pricey but worth it. read more

Poor communication, long waits, and completely rude service. If this is what first impressions look like, it's clear the people running this place are very new to owning a business, and it shows. The owner kept making excuses instead of offering real solutions. I understand it was St. Patrick's Day, but that's exactly why you should be prepared. If the kitchen can't handle the volume, don't offer the full menu, and be upfront with customers before seating them. A simple warning would have gone a long way. read more

Limited seating.. but food is good! Definitely recommend. Cozy atmosphere, and thr Irish Coffee is a must. read more

This place is really fun and the service is great. They have an extension of their red which works well for larger groups. Full menu and bar too. The Fish and chips are really good. A friend ordered the stew and another the tacos. Both said the dishes were really good. So glad to have this restaurant. read more

Fun Irish pub. Great decor, sense of humor. Have a pint and a bite with the friendly staff.

Okay we finally went, it's been open a year and yesterday was your first visit, sorry. Overall it was a great experience, the vibe was on point no mistaking it for anything else than a Irish pub, the beer and Cider brought back good memories of our time in Ireland, service was amazing she was there just the right amount and it was quick as well, my wife ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the Irish Puff which was basically a corned beef sandwich toasted, it was delicious great corned beef, and I substituted French fries instead of the chips which would be crisps, so I had chips with my Irish Puff, they had Guiness Stew and Shepards pie but I'm extremely picky with those items I love them both and maybe next time I'll try them, the fish and chips were battered perfect and cook need more perfect, they were crispy even in the center and even after a heavy dose of malt vinegar, the chips were cooked perfectly as well, overall the food always delicious, if I had to be petty and split hairs I would say it would have been nice if the Tarter sauce was homemade and not from a packet, the fish was flaky and moist, batter was just the perfect amount, so it was a shame to squeeze a packet of tarter sauce on such delicious food, they had live music which was quite good considering we are in Granbury Texas, overall it was a great surprise, great job Pub McDonough we will be back. read more

Fun pub! Live music, good food, good beer. Excited to check out the new patio soon. Service was great too!

Wife and I stopped in this past Saturday night for dinner. Sat at the bar and greeted immediately by the bartender. Ordered the fish and chips and wife ordered the Ruben. Both meals were fantastic! Great atmosphere as well. Felt authentic. Looked like theres additional seating outback too but didnt explore it. Maybe next time, which will be soon. read more

I cannot believe I am a year late on finding this place. The owners are from MA as am I so huge MA sports fans. I sat at the bar and had a toastie with Irish cheese and ham. To die for. Paired it with the red ale Smithwick. True community pub feel. Great service by the bartender. read more

McDonoughs is a fantastic addition to Granbury's culinary scene. This is the real deal. The fish & chips, Irish stew, and Sheppard's pie are on point, and the service is amazing. If you're into cocktails, they have you covered as well. It's a warm and inviting environment, and the owners are doing are great job of keeping the quality of every dish high. I am so happy we have this great little spot in Granbury. Well done. read more

The Pub McDonough - Shepherd's Pie. Below the mashed potatoes is meat to the bottom of the bowl. Delicious. - Irish Pub Near Me - Granbury, Texas

Great food & service! Small inside but lots of room outside. Irish Taco was excellent. Would definately return! read more

My husband & I finally went to The Pub but probably won't go back. You only get to sit at a 3 top pub table (I know it's a pub) there may have been 1-2 small tables, only 1 waitress. I was disappointed there was not a Rueben sandwich on the menu but they served corn beef on a taco!? I had the cheeseburger that was fair, the waitress didn't offer me fries which I would have preferred, my husband ordered the fish & chips (fair). They also played very loud annoying Irish music, I finally had to go outside & wait for my husband to finish his beer! Won't be back.... read more

Fun little pub unexpectedly very similar to one you'd find across the pond. With excellent traditional Irish food and traditional Irish drinks what's not to love! read more

Very cute spot and the staff is top notch! We went on a Saturday night to meet friends for dinner but got a big surprise kitchen closed at 7!? Hopefully this changes soon, so basically you have to go for early dinner or lunch to try the food. We don't much hit the pub in the afternoon so not sure when we can try the food. Staff was great drinks very good! Would like to go hear the live music, it's a little small inside but long bar with stools is available too. read more

Best fish and chips and half and half. Ambiance was fantastic along with the staff. All and all a great experience. read more

Perfectly poured Guinness! Every time we visit it's perfect. Atmosphere is great and service is outstanding!

great food, loved the Irish taco and fish and chips for my Brit husband extra special when they have a band or a singer, our favorite place in Granbury read more

Tried "The Pub" for the first time today. Great place and a welcomed addition to Granbury! It has a cozy bar feel, is just a couple blocks from the square, but the food doesn't disappoint either. The family and I had the "toastie" (corned beef sandwich), the Irish taco "Atlantic style (fried cod)," and an Irish beef stew. We started with corned beef and cabbage rolls. Everything was great and we all ate every bite! We'll certainly be back and are happy we have another fun dining and drinking option in town! read more

The Pub McDonough - Bar and Dining Area - Irish Pub Near Me - Granbury, Texas

The Pub McDonough is my favorite place to eat in Granbury by far! In a town where good food and good ambience seem mutually exclusive, The Pub is able to nail them both simultaneously. Their Guinness blends, Fish and Chips, and Sausage rolls are perfection. Mcdonough's has everything you want in an Irish Pub, and nothing you don't. No rowdy guests, no rude/lazy staff, and NO TV! The decor is interesting enough to keep a curious eye occupied for hours, and the first responder/military memorabilia makes you proud to support the owner. The Pub is a 10/10. Don't miss out on it!! read more

Terrible Experience - Will Never Return This is the first time I've ever felt the need to leave a review, but our experience at this pub was unbelievably bad. My fiancé and I recently moved to Granbury and were hoping to find a great local hangout spot. Unfortunately, this place isn't it. While the drinks came out quickly, we waited 30 minutes for our food--and one of the dishes was completely wrong. I clearly ordered the seafood chowder pot pie, which was listed as a weekly special and highlighted in green at the top right of the menu. I even pointed to it and confirmed with the waitress that I wanted that item. She told me it was a large portion, so there was no confusion. When the food finally arrived, she brought me a shepherd's pie. I questioned it, and she said there was "no pot pie," despite it being clearly printed on the menu. She walked off and brought over the owner, who immediately took a defensive and aggressive tone and gaslighted me by insisting I must have pointed to the wrong item on the menu--which was absolutely not true. I felt disrespected and dismissed. He said he "trusted his employee" and even told us to "calm down" and "lower our voices" when we hadn't raised them to begin with. Instead of offering a solution, he acted as if we were the problem. Eventually, he brought the correct dish out--within 10 minutes--but refused to remove the mistaken shepherd's pie from our bill. The attitude from both the waitress and owner was shocking. No apology, no accountability, and zero care for the customer experience. We had high hopes, but this place completely missed the mark. We won't be back. read more

It has taken us a while to try this fabulous pub, but last night did not disappoint. Our only complaint is that they didn't have "The Quiet Man" and "The Boondock Saints" in loop playing on the telly. Needless to say, Kimmie our server steered us in the right direction with her suggestions of the Irish Taco, and the Fish & Chips. Of course we had "black beer" as the Duke would call them, and the bar tender poured great ones, and they were clean and fresh as well. Excellent whiskey list, a handful of good bourbons. read more

The Fish and Chips were amazing!!! Also got Deviled Egg Pasta Salad.. Atmosphere was awesome cant wait to take my Brotger in law and sister there.. read more

Fish and chips were great. I hope thy offer a 2-piece option in the future. Pls be patient with this NEW pub and restaurant. They are opening the right way. Small menus with great food. I can't wait to see this place rock during football and scoccer games. read more

The Pub McDonough - Fish and chips. - Irish Pub Near Me - Granbury, Texas

First time visitor yesterday, and have to say they have hit an absolute home run! I think the biggest challenge is going to be insufficient seating for the number of people that will come as the word spreads! Cool pub feel, AMAZING service (the young ladies were absolutely on point), and the food was delicious! The Irish Breakfast frankly was better than the several (English Breakfasts) I had in London! I have believed that Granbury, like it or not, is on the verge of exploding, and places like McDonough are going to be in part why people are drawn to this beautiful community! Truly wishing the VERY BEST for this new pub, and looking forward to trying many things on the menu in coming months! read more

Terrible attitude from owner she was judgmental and made us feel unwelcome We haven't been back since our group was 9 people all locals. read more

Fun place to meet up with friends! Great food & drinks! Love this place! We like taking out of town guests to Pub McDonough! read more

Food & service were both amazing! Our first time was a few months ago & we've already been back twice! We've enjoyed the fish & chips, fish taco, corn beef & cabbage, shepherds pie & the corned beef & cabbage egg rolls. Loved all the dishes! read more

We really enjoyed our first visit to this neat little bar. Felicia greeted us and made sure we were taken care of. I had the hamburger, which was really good, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Shepherds pie. After dinner, we headed out back to listen to some live music. It was a great experience and can't wait to get back and try something else on the menu. read more

The staff was amazing! My wife has been to Ireland & was taken back to the emerald island. We are looking forward to the fresh made Soda Bread in the future. read more

The Pub McDonough - 15 year old Red Breast. - Irish Pub Near Me - Granbury, Texas

We went in today for lunch. Got there around 11:50! Ordered our drinks and food, right after getting there.. Our drinks came out quickly and were really good . 12:30 comes around still no food. Shortly afterwards waitress comes by and says there is glitch in kitchen. 12:45 still no food. Waitress comes by again and says frier problem, we had ordered fish and chips . We were understanding , until several tables that came in half hour after us, were receiving fish and chips orders. We didn't get our order until a little after 1:00. The food when we finally got it was great.. The drinks and food deserved a 5. But waiting for over an hour , for kitchen glitch, when other tables are getting what we ordered made it a 3 star experience!! read more

Our first time, Service was horrible we had to hunt down a waitress to give us directions on where to sit and eat. We go towards the back and had to ask again how we were going to get served and we came in here with a toddler after waiting about 30 minutes in line during lunch time just to finally get to ordering and we get told food is being paused and there was no announcement made to the line about this. Wouldn't come back here again. They have horrible communication Editing to add that yes this was on St. Patrick's day which not sure how this excuses lack of communication from employees? No apology was given. Very glad we didn't spend a penny here. Just wasted time unfortunately and assured we won't be giving this place a chance after Mary's response. read more

The service was awful. Our waitress upcharged us on several drinks. My friend had one drink and was feeling sick and the bartender followed us out of the restaurant to our cars yelling at us. Nice place, but the servers ruined it for us. read more

Stopped in first time last Friday night. Awesome place great Irish beers and atmosphere. Service was awesome. Had the Fish and Chips which was also great. Great hidden gem in Granbury. Will go back again and again read more

We've been here multiple times since the very beginning. We truly enjoyed the environment of the pub, good drinks, vibes and food. Had good experiences and getting to know the owner. Until tonight; went in with some friends for some drinks. We ordered draft Guinness and an espresso martini. I have ordered the espresso martini on multiple occasions and it has been very tasty. This evening it didn't taste right I took 2 small sips out of my glass and asked the waitress if I could get a different drink instead or if it could be remade. I was denied and so I ordered a Michelob ultra and the waitress told me that I had to pay for the espresso martini even though I sent it back and was denied the drink being remade. I asked her if there was anything she could do or if we could talk to the owner. The waitress comes back a few minutes later and said the owner stated I would have to pay for the drink since it had already been made but could have another beer and that's all she could do. I understand wanting to take care of business and being worried about revenue but that's not how to keep good relationships with customers and get them to come back. read more

Fantastic food, genuine Irish Vibe, and a place that makes you feel like you're in the Irish countryside with your best mates!
