What a great place. I have been to many Irish Pubs all across the USA and in Ireland and this place is pretty good. The food was excellent and they have many drinks to choose from. Live music almost every night and on Wednesday they have Irish music. Outside patio area is very nice. Lots to do here. The dessert was exceptional. We had the Mac and cheese with bacon as an appetizer and the Guinness stew as a entree and they were both great. I would recommend this place if you want to have some drinks or some good Irish food. Go and enjoy the music also. We will be going back.
McGonigel’s Mucky Duck is always a joy to visit! Great music, great drinks (the Bees Knees is my favorite cocktail), great food (try the shepherd’s pie) and great ambiance. Nice selection of whiskey as well!
Small venue with nice concerts and pub atmosphere. Nice food (I love the welsh, and also the Shepherd’s Pie and Beef Guinness) that pairs well with a Guinness Stout.

What a great Houston staple with some of the best live music in the country, and amazing food.

My friend and I went to a show here for the Anachronicals. It was a great set and lovely atmosphere. Their music really suited the small cozy atmosphere will. It was a great turnout as well. The food was decent. I had come here before for lunch and my friend had gotten the fish and chips and they were nice, hot and crispy. I ordered the fish and chips this night and two were stale, one was good. So, I kind of cut my losses with that... We also got the mark Portugal sandwich that wasn't as good as we thought it would be, especially being one of their signature dishes. For it to be an open face sandwich, it didn't have enough going on to be considered an open face sandwich IMO.. It was like a subway sandwich, that you could fold, and still eat without a mess. Vegetables or something on top would have been a welcome sight. We also got the guv'nors mousse . Unless you're a super chocolate lover, I wouldn't order this, as it is a bitter chocolate.. My friend wanted it more so than I did, so that's what we got. The little chocolate sticks that come in it, were perfection! 🤤I would have preferred the boozy cake or the chocolate chip cookie pizza with ice cream. They were out of the cider that my friend wanted to order as well, so that was a bit of a disappointment! But he settled for a Guinness and enjoyed it. He said that it was a perfect pour! I know nothing about the pour of a beer, but apparently this one took the cake! So, if you're looking for a bartender with a perfect pour, they have one!
I would rate the lunchtime restaurant experience here at 3.5 stars. My favorite dish is their fish and chips, with a house-prepared tar tar sauce. They have many beers on tap at their very respectable bar.
Always great live music and some of the best pub food in the city! I've been going for years and it's consistent, friendly and welcoming.

TL;DR must visit, delicious authentic Irish food and decor with live music frequently. Today was my first time coming into this wonderful establishment and it was well worth the visit. I've driven past many times but should have entered much sooner. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff was welcoming and friendly. We had a lot of questions and the bartender was patient and knowledgeable and answered all of them. When you enter the stage is to your left and the bar is toward the back though you can't really see it from the front door. There lots of Irish history and culture lining the walls. We stopped in looking for a nice breakfast but unfortunately missed brunch. FORTUNATELY however they have a full irish breakfast on the menu all day and we jumped at the opportunity. We got a full Irish breakfast with an appetizer of some scotch eggs and let me tell you it was well worth it. Its a tradition when I travel back to ireland to get a full Irish breakfast in Dublin airport and this put me right back there fresh off the plane and with a delicious hot meal in front of me. The beans, the irish bacon, sausage, tomato and eggs were fantastic and the best and closest to an authentic Irish breakfast I've had outside of Ireland and moms kitchen. Will certainly be back and might have to make saturday breakfast a tradition here. We also got fish and chips to go but haven't tried them yet though they look delicious. Don't forget to ask for hp sauce.
Fantastic venue to catch live music. Small and intimate with great drink and beverage selection. Love it!

McGonigel’s Mucky Duck is an intimate venue for enjoying music, friends, food and drinks!🍹 And it’s an absolute PLUS if you also manage to patronize this establishment on a night that the wonderful Annika Chambers & Paul Deslauriers are performing. 😌 Just saying.
NOTE: These videos and photos are from the Good Trouble album release party for the married duo, Annika Chambers & Paul Deslauriers! 🎉
Their food and their drinks are always delicious, and the atmosphere is always great. Been going here on and off for 5 or so years and it still is extra special. The staff is amazing, and super tentative to the patrons. I will always recommend this place if you're looking for good food and amazing drinks!
Excellent venue for a show, dinner, and drinks! Very old school, classy, Irish pub! I ate the Wee Trio which is shepherds pie, chicken pot pie, and steak, mushroom, and Guinness I believe.
Best performance I've been to in a long time. The group "Plank" was amazing. And to think I was just walking by to go to another restaurant instead!
They have something going on most nights. Also went to the Wednesday night session recently. Had the fish and chips and my friends had the pot pie. Delicious! Don't miss the mousse and the trifle.
Intimate setting with great food and drinks and top tier performers. A Houston classic!
Great venue! Not a bad seat in the house. The service was awesome. The food is really good and so are the drinks. Ask for Ray the bartender he really took good care of us.
Very small venue, which I personally enjoy, and decent ticket prices. The wine is $10-$12/glass depending on which you choose. Did not have anything to eat, so I can’t comment on the food. Pretty outdoor patio with small water fountain. Bathrooms were clean. The seating is a little tight. Long tables lined with chairs and you sit with people you don’t know. Waitstaff continuously bumped into us while we were watching the show; very small aisles. All in all, it was a nice experience.
The music was fantastic... a crisp sound I've never heard in Houston. The bar recovered nicely from a sour pint of Paulanders, and the second pint had a bug. The food was good and the rest of the drinks were perfect. Great time!
