  • 2/5 Dan C. 10 months ago on Google
    Started by ordering a draft tecate, they bring a bottle, then the largest draft they have and then finally the pint that I ordered. I then ordered all you can eat wings. First order comes out cold and soggy. Immediately try to order another round because the wings and very small, two bites at most. They don't put the order in. Wait and wait for an order with the wrong sauce. Then they bring out the ones from did order in a set of 5. Ordered a different favor and again they brought a different flavor than ordered. Ate them and tried to get 5 more of the original flavor I ordered. After waiting 20 more minutes I was asked if I was done. No I'm waiting for the wings I ordered 20 minutes ago. Very unorganized. If you want to be bored to death waiting for your food, this is your place. Wings and fries were cold and soggy. Then it is hilarious they want you to pay the second they bring you the tab after you waited an hour and forty-five minutes for 23 wings.

    Don’t eat here, unless you want to die. And wait forever and a day to be served. Ordered a burger, asked for no mayo as I am allergic. Burger came with mayo, I asked for a new one. All the did was give me a new bun with toppings and the burger patty was still covered in mayo. Shame on you. Will never be eating here again.

    Place was not busy when I arrived, came before two table of six, I put in my order at 8:30, waited, finished the beer, the two table after me got their food, 8:50 got my wings , cold and raw, 9 pm order another boneless, okay, 9:30 I was told that they did not have the flavor I asked for, order another flavor, okay it will be 5 more minutes, I said fine, 9:45 i get them 2 of the are raw in the middle, I did ask for them to be extra cooked, 🤨 😡. Now I am just thinking on leaving, 9:50 I said please have them cook throughout one more time, 10:06 pm. No sauce but cooked. I don't really think it is a place that lives up to their name. Quite frankly I am not coming back to this place any time soon. I still left 30% tip, some times it's not always the waiters fault, but if I do come back and it is the same awful service, it will be nada.

    Horrible food. Nothing Irish about any of it. One of the worst restaurants I have eaten at in Puerto Vallarta. Lots of great restaurants here. Avoid this one!!

    Noisy, smoking on the patio, terrible live music (when they have it). Mediocre food at best. It’s just not worth it. It’s mexico and Puerto Vallarta. So many good places to eat. Their beer is ok though.

    Their food is Delicious, their prices are good. Althoug, I was very disappointed by my waiter's service, he was very dull and paid attention mainly to tourist's tables and never gave us a smile at our table. He seemed to in a rush while speaking to us never made eye contact. We had burgers and boneless!

  • 3/5 layla k. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was good, atmosphere was good. It was Saint Patrick's. We had some green beer, and the chicken which was good. Service was slow and there was a lot of confusion on the orders between all the tables around. Nice clean place.

  • 4/5 Arturo C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is comfortable they have a good selection of hamburgers which are delicious, some promotions are very good to have a good time after a long day, if like me you love boneless your favorite cousin will be on Thursday (Original) El lugar está a gusto tienen una buena selección de hamburguesas las cuales son deliciosas, algunas promociones son muy buenas como para pasar un buen rato después de una larga jornada, si como yo te encantan las boneless tu primo favorita será la del jueves

  • 4/5 Scott P. 2 years ago on Google
    Service is a little slow and not very attentive but overall we didn't mind. The food is decent but not sure if we will be back.

  • 3/5 Aime B. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't be fooled by its name. It's NOT an Irish pub. The hamburger we got was good & onion rings were very good. We had high hopes for a Ruben sandwich & salad but we are in Mexico after all. 🤣

  • 2/5 Axel R. C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food was fine but we ordered some micheladas which seemed to only have water and sauces (very poorly prepared). We asked for drinks to be exchanged for something else but they told us they would still charge us the first ones. It didn't seem right and the manager showed no empathy or desire to support us. (Original) La comida estuvo bien pero pedimos unas micheladas las cuales parecían solo tener agua y salsas (muy mal preparadas). Pedimos que nos cambiaran las bebidas por algo más pero nos dijeron que aún así nos cobrarían las primeras. No me pareció correcto y el gerente no mostró empatía o ganas de apoyarnos.

    (Translated by Google) They no longer have beer on tap XX Ambar, but it is still a good place (Original) Ya no tienen en venta la cerveza de barril XX Ambar, pero sigue siendo un buen lugar

  • 2/5 Corina L. 4 years ago on Google
    Mediocre quality for both - drinks and food

  • 5/5 Perla R. 4 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Javier G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Food and drinks are not good. They lack flavor in both (Original) La comida y las bebidas no son buenas. Les falta sabor en ambas

  • 4/5 Mark M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service, good music and cheap beers. What more do you need? Lots of TVs for watching sports too. This is one of my favorite chain places in Mexico, and this location lived up to the name. I would recommend it for sure!

  • 3/5 Jonatan Rodriguez A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is acceptable like any other wing place, good variety of beers but the rock band is not very good, there are much better in the bay and the sound is not of good quality either. It is one more place, nothing special. (Original) El lugar es aceptable como cualquier otro lugar de alitas, buena variedad de cervezas pero la banda de rock no es muy buena, hay mucho mejores en la bahía y el sonido tampoco de buena calidad. Es un lugar más, nada especial.

  • 5/5 alberto m. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The only thing more or less is that the pool table closes early (Original) Lo único único más o menos es que la mesa de billar cierra temprano

  • 3/5 Fátima L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is fine to hang out with friends, ordering only beer and wings / boneless. I don't recommend the food, they take a long time to deliver and it doesn't taste very good. But to spend time listening to rock is fine. (Original) El lugar está bien para pasar el rato con amigos, pidiendo sólo cerveza y alitas/boneless. La comida no la recomiendo, se tardan mucho en entregarla y no sabe muy bien. Pero para pasar un rato escuchando rock esta bien.

  • 3/5 Mark C. 2 years ago on Google
    Service a bit slow but food good and prices reasonable

  • 3/5 Anita F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very loud. Food mediocre (wings were not fresh, very chewy) beer choices were excellent and great location- less than 5 min walk from our rental condo.

  • 1/5 Kai S. 2 years ago on Google
    You made my friend puke and sharte for 2 hours straight the food is bad the survces is bad I don't recommend that you Go to this place

  • 1/5 Carel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately my experience at McCarthy’s was not good. I was hoping to enjoy a burger with fries and beer with friends. To my surprise, our fries were “rationed” to only a few with our burgers and we were unable to order extra fries. The music was terrible, I am not sure what the typical music is in an Irish Pub but Pantera heavy metal just did not do it for me. We will not be back

  • 1/5 Roger R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is not an Irish bar, it's a burger joint. One Irish beer on tap, heavy metal music and no atmosphere. Stay home. Get your beer from local OXXO.

  • 1/5 tania m. 2 years ago on Google
    They are not organized at all, and I suffered discrimination , understaffed and very very slow service, management should know when the place it's gonna be full of people so they can prevent awful service, not coming back thanks

  • 5/5 OmG 6 years ago on Google
    This place just opened. Had the wings with hot sauce, fries and chicken tenders. Everything was fresh and hot. Beer was cold. Live band was loud but sounded great! Staff was great and put the Steelers game on as requested. I’ll be back soon.

  • 2/5 Lisa R. 1 year ago on Google
    The steak was nice but small portions, gave us fries instead of nachos, basic service and their card machine wasnt reading so bring cash.

  • 5/5 Erin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fish and chips were perfect, margs=perfect, service=excellente! We will be back for sure!

  • 5/5 Annie Chanthavysouk (. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here after the 7.7 earthquake in Colima 200 miles away us yet we still felt a hard earthquake. Even with the aftershocks, the staff, bartenders remain calm, friendly to all of us and served food. They warn us of the aftershocks and what to do. Food was nice as well.

  • 1/5 L C. 1 year ago on Google
    Big rip off. They penalize you for items, they overcharge the exchange rate for your American credit card, and they force you to pay the tip on the bill through your credit card, further increasing your payment

  • 5/5 Alex M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wings and fries were super good here! We had a great experience. Quite a few deals, everyone around us had a big tap of draft beer on their table, it must have been a promo that night? Our first waiter did not speak any English, but they went and found one for us that did.

  • 5/5 Scott P. 10 months ago on Google
    Cheap 1L sized beers and sometimes they have excellent cover bands. Strongly recommend.

  • 1/5 Photo V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Their service is very poor, despite the fact that due to the contingency they only receive half or less of their capacity, they take a long time to serve and, to top it off, they notify when the bar is going to be closed and when ordering another round, the waiter tells us that not always, that the bar is already closed ? I had a lot without going for the same and they are still the same. I will not return (Original) Muy deficiente su servicio, a pesar de que por la contingencia solo reciben la mitad o menos de su capacidad, tardan muchísimo en servir y de colmo avisan cuando van a cerrar la barra y al ordenar otra ronda el mesero nos dice que siempre no, que ya está cerrado el bar ? Tenía mucho sin ir por lo mismo y siguen igual. No vuelvo a regresar

    They offer there special McCarthy nachos which was nachos chips with melted cheese slices and refried beans. No guacamole or sour cream? Burger wasnt cooked overal not a great meal. It was cheep at least but a little effort would have made a difference.

  • 2/5 Deanna D. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was slow. Bar is definitely not an Irish bar. Music is heavy metal. Does not suit the age of the crowd that was there.

  • 1/5 Nicolas M. 4 years ago on Google
    My Michelada tasted a lot more like water than actual beer. When confronted they said it was my fault for choosing Heineken lol.

  • 3/5 Ferdinando R. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is a coin toss, sometimes is great sometimes you get the driest chicken in the world. Bands are usually pretty good

  • 4/5 Danny F. 3 years ago on Google
    All can eat wings and fries are a great deal for 100 pesos

  • 4/5 Gregory S. L. 4 years ago on Google
    Fish and chips are 'different' but good, and the wind were 'right on'. The service was slow but staff were friendly and good humoured. Maybe go early before the place fills up.

  • 1/5 Tania R. 4 years ago on Google
    Terrible. We paid for 8 wings and chips. Got 7 wings and 2 of them were cold as though they just came out of the fridge. The chips were cold also. When we asked the waitress to replace the cold wings and give us the 8th one, as well as replace the cold chips, she returned with hot chips only. She stated the kitchen could not do the wings. She was very lovely and apologetic. but whoever runs the kitchen really needs to be addressed by the owner of this business if they want to build a customer base
