    About twelve beers on draft. Web-based juke box, and automatic teller machine embedded in the wall. Basic foodstuffs, and clean bathroom. Andy Capp'd Westies selling god-knows-what with winks and nods.

    I was surprised how busy the place was on a Wednesday lunch time but I was able to get a seat at the end of the bar. Watching the single member of bar staff running round serving the large numbers so efficiently was fascinating to watch, and how he remained so friendly and observant is a true credit! There’s a good atmosphere and a wide variety of drinks. The food menu is also pretty good which a nice mix of traditional Irish dishes and regular pub snacks. Service of the food was in good time and portion sizes very large. The chicken wrap was packed full of contents, perhaps with a little too much sauce, but the fries nice and crispy. It was just what I wanted for a fuss free lunch. The location suited me perfectly and for the quality of service and staff alone I would return - I’d recommend if you’re looking for an Irish pub!

    WONDERFUL! Timmy was a great server with an authentic Irish accent. Great music! Some Sea Chanties. Would DEFINITELY go back. Great food, great music, great company! Update: Came back on St Patty’s! The BEST Corn beef & Cabbage I’ve EVER had in my life! The Shepherds Pie was CRAZY GOOD! The Fish & Chips smelled amazing. Highly recommend!

    The food was good old fashioned good eating and the helping were enormous!!!! But it was the service that gave this place its magic. Comfortable, kind, pleasant and attentive service will keep me coming back for more!!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm. And Timmy is just the best!!!! Friendly, professional and very attentive!!! It’s a great place take a friend or its comfortable enough to feel free to dine alone!!! There aren’t many of these gems left in our neighborhood so let’s support this one, it would be a shame if it wasn’t here!!!!!!

    Located on the corner of 44th and 11th, this Irish pub really makes you feel like a friend of the family instead of a bar patron. The bartenders were super nice and the shepherd's pie I ate was the best I've tasted in years. They've got karaoke Wednesdays as well as benches and tables outside for when it's warmer. I would definitely look forward to a return visit.

    Quaint Irish spot. Very laidback, comforting atmosphere. I ordered the Sheppard's pie and my partner the Reuben; both were well done and delicious!

    We loved Mcquaid’s! Excellent appetizers and meals. Owner and his grandson were lovely. Clean restrooms. We will go back next time we’re in the city. Thank you!!!!

    Summary: great food and excellent service at a reasonable price. I ate lunch there with my family. This is a wonderful place with excellence food. We sampled the appetizers (wings, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, onion rings). All of which tasted great. My meatball hoagie was excellent. And what’s a lunch at an Irish pub without a Guinness? Oh yeah, we shared the Cheesecake for dessert (not that we really had space). Again… Awesome. Very well done. I highly recommend.

    Came in with a large group last weekend, as we were in town for the comic con. There was a decent crowd. Despite working by himself, Raymond was amazing! One man army! Super friendly, quick service, and the food was great from the shepherds pie to the full Irish breakfast. It's been awhile since I've been in a true Irish pub, and McQuaids delivered in spades! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!! A++

    The outside looks like a typical Irish bar, the bar tender is definitely Irish and everyone inside was lovely. The food for me wasn't anything special. I had the sausage and mash but the mash was lumpy. Nice pub but very noisy if you want a quiet meal but great to go if you want a drink with your friends with good music.

    We stopped by on Labor Day. Saw the sign that said “under new Management”. The food was amazing: taste , presentation and everything was great!!!! Service was on point as well.
