The Take
Order fish and chips or bangers and mash with a Guinness. Slop Score 55.
McGonigal's earned local votes as the best suburban Irish pub for straightforward classics like shepherd's pie. The kitchen ran standard fare that leaned heavy on typical oils and frying.
Nostalgia buyers chased that cozy neighborhood vibe, but the permanent January 2024 closure killed any repeat trips.
The Verdict
McGonigal's served decent traditional plates before the lights went out. Skip the dead location entirely.
Slop Score 55.
