 McGurk’s is a local leader in authentic Irish music, and its multi-level garden, with dozens of tables and two semi-enclosed bars, rates among the area’s most charming outdoor patios. What started out as a one-room corner tavern is now a large, sprawling series of strung-together rooms and bars, but it still feels cozy on cold nights and rainy afternoons. The customers are mostly young, often in groups; but even on Saturday night as the band tunes up, families can be found meeting for dinner. It's a potato house, of course---soup, skins, chips fried in-house as well as garlic mashed and stuffed with pork in sausage. Other menu highlights include potato and corned beef-barley soups, lightly battered fish ‘n’ chips, Guinness (beef) and Irish (lamb) stews and solid, hearty sandwiches. Save room for the whiskey bread pudding.
