McP's Irish Pub

Great place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Enjoyed the Rueben and even though they were busy the service was prompt and friendly. Rueben was cooked to perfection and it was served with plenty of French Fries. Did not stay long enough to really check out the band but it sure sounded like everyone was enjoying the ambiance and sporting the Green.

There's nothing Irish about McP's except the Guinness they have on tap. I made an assumption that it would be more Irish than American.. whoops. Had I properly looked at the menu, I would learn that wasn't the case.The positives:- Ample outdoor seating! - There can be live music, at times. - Guinness on tap. What could be better:- People smoking cigars at the table next to me! Bleh! I want to enjoy my food.. not your stinky cigar. - Service was... slow. Not sure if the server had too many tables/was spending time with her larger parties/didn't like the fact we weren't ordering more than one drink... but it was slower than I'd like (namely in terms of asking for water/getting a refill on water, getting the cheque, etc.). - Food was mediocre. If you want a large portion, dine here. If you're not bothered about stellar food, dine here. It was just OK. Not bad. Not particulary fantastic. But maybe people don't come here for the food, necessarily. I might pop in for a drink.. but not sure I'd eat here again. 2024: 47/100

I have definitely been to Irish pubs with more charm and a better atmosphere and truly better food. There is not much appeal from the outside and the patio area was just okay. Our server was amazing though and very friendly and helpful. I love Irish pub food and have been to many so maybe I was a little disheartened by our experience but it is definitely a more casual and less pretentious place to hang out than most of Coronado.

Hopped off the Old Town Trolley here to grab a quick drink and appetizer on our second day on our San Diego Trip. Awesome service, quality drinks, and great atmosphere. Our nachos grande were perfect for the three of us to share. Standard Irish pub offerings on the menu both in terms of food and drinks. Can't beat the perfectly poured black and tans. Highly recommended stop/visit if at Coronado.

Had a great veggie burger with cheese here - it was served with a delish aioli and the fries were fantastic. Service was good. Typical pub feels inside, brought back memories of the gastropubs we enjoyed while visiting Ireland a few years back.

This was the perfect place for a little work meeting to grab drinks. The place was decently large with seating inside and seating on the patio. We got a large table outside and had a few rounds of drinks. Our server was great as she juggled all of the outdoor tables. We had a few bar bites too (all delicious!) I definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a good pub!

Wonderful way to enjoy a Saturday evening catching up with a friend! Indoors was live music while outdoors there was plenty of room for us to share the space with an older wedding party. Towards the middle of the evening we even cheered with the gang watching baseball!Had the bbq salad with sauce on the side. I was surprised at how good the chicken was! Much better than at some other places I've had it at. Sipped on a nice mixed drink that had just enough alcohol to lighten my mood! Ended with a nutty Irish coffee.My friend had the very berry salad which was fresh and light. I don't recall what she drank, think it may have been wine but it was good. We really enjoyed our evening here and would do it again, as long as we keep our feet up!

McP's is the best bar/ pub type food in Coronado! Fun atmosphere, patio has live bands most nights & just a cool , chill place with delicious comfort food & some Irish dishes as well. The owner passed away but it's still worth a visit! RIP Greg, you are missed!

Great food, great selection on beer. Love going for the atmosphere. It's in the heart of everything.

See my photo of the $15 chicken strips. It will explain everything. Somehow the ranch made them taste even worse than they look. I gave 2 stars for the band that was playing.
