The atmosphere here strikes a balance between casual and welcoming — a spot where locals drop in for everything from a relaxed lunch to a busy Friday night gathering. You’ll find a well-rounded menu featuring traditional Irish-inspired dishes alongside American pub staples, with an emphasis on fresh, made-from-scratch preparations.
Food here suits those looking to unwind with familiar flavors done well: standouts include their fresh-cut fish and chips, the rich French Onion Soup, and unexpected twists like the poutine with corned beef. The pub’s kitchen impresses by crafting most dishes from scratch, which is evident in the depth of flavor across salads, soups, and mains such as steak frites, meatloaf, and broiled salmon with beurre blanc. For those seeking variety, options span from elegant seafood stews like cioppino to casual items like pulled pork sandwiches and wraps.
McGreivey’s works well as a laid-back lunch spot, especially midweek when the dining room is calm and servers give you space to enjoy your meal without rush.
