John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden

The food is traditional Irish fare at moderate prices . Great live music . The patio is huge and beautiful. Drinks a bit on the pricier side but worth it for the atmosphere.

Great live Irish music and the best patio in St . Louis. Enjoy dinner on the patio and then come inside for an Irish coffee or one of their aged Irish whiskeys and enjoy the music .

Such a welcoming place that it equally suits the blue-collar after-work drinkers, the hungry neighborhood regulars at lunch and dinner and the preppily dressed west-county throngs on weekends. Read more

A St. Louis institution since 1978, John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden in Soulard is known just as much for its food and beer as the traditional Irish music seven nights a week. Read more

The patio here is beautiful! It is huge! During the colder months there is a fire pit and numerous heaters. During the summer there is a fountain . Only negative is this place can get pretty wild.

Burgers are good, but order usually overcooked so order 1 down (ie "medium" for a "medium well ")
