    This place is the best! Their tenderloin is out of this world. What makes this place different is that they have 'tenderloin bites' as an appetizer which is something I've never seen anywhere else! I got the baby tenderloin sandwich and you can't even see the bun. You should see the big tenderloin. Oh my. The bartender is amazing as well, never had to ask for anything - she was on it!

    I have made this my local stop!  I just moved back to Speedway.  The staff is so lovely, the patrons are friendly, so far my experiences have been a delight!  

    Live music, great selection on the touch tunes, trivia and pull tabs.  I can't and won't place one experience above the other because the service from everyone I have met has been amazing.  

    We watched election results here, unwound from work here, and wandered in bored one night.  As one who has only been going to McGuilvery's a few weeks- I strongly recommend this gem!

    Good place to hang out with friends. Good food, portion is sharable. Trivia night was fun!

    Could they at least make a certain section for smokers? The food was just alright and the service was ok. I just couldn't get over the fact that you can smoke inside. And the tables are pretty close so you can't avoid it. There were used ash trays on each table and even ones in the restrooms. I think that an Irish pub needs an actual Irish feel to it and this place doesn't cut it. Besides their name, there is nothing Irish about it. Didn't live up to my expectations.

    I really like this place for a lot of reasons.  This is your father's bar.  Don't expect any trendy bullshit.  Expect good bartop company and a decent pour.
    Very nice regulars
    locally owned and operated
    Lovely bar food
    Older property but clean
    Very nice outdoor seating area
