McCarthy's Pub

While this looks like the place where someone might lace your drink, it's actually pretty okay! It's definitely not as nice as some of the other Pitt bars, but really, are any of them that "nice"??? It's a college bar in a small college town and there are bras and panties on the ceiling (along with a lot of autographed bills) and a trough in the men's restroom. It's just a good time. Good music, nice outdoor area, and the bar staff are truly working harder than most in the industry. They sling drinks super fast and aren't stingy with the pour. GOOD TIMES AT GRITTY BARS is the theme here. Enjoy...but skip the "Pub Cum."

Poor poor SERVICE. Bouncer was so rude. Austin tried to take my 23 y/o fiancé ID... it was embarrassing. He picked a whole fight with a group of ten just to come up after and say sorry four diferent times. This establishment doesn't even use a scanner. When we asked austin to scan he pulled out his PHONE FLASH LIGHT. Can't believe a place would hire an idiot like that. Until Austin is gone... do not recommend!!!! Austin is known for taking REAL id's just for a power trip. Embarrassing.

they took my legit ID, and still denied me to get my ID. purley 1 more objective. didnt matter what objectives this guy wanted

I always have a super fun time here. Great music and I usually don't have to wait too horrible long (upstairs) for a drink, which I don't mind the wait cause their bartenders are busting their asses off. You guys do need to work on not being so rude at closing time. We know it's closing time but it doesn't help us move any faster to be yelled at to "get the f*ck out" and basically be corralled like we're cattle out the door. Sometimes we have a drink to finish, or we have to find our friends, or close a bar tab, or simply take a piss before we leave. Give us a damn minute to get out the door or maybe try giving us a 15-30 minute warning before close so we have time to do those things? Idk, just an idea.
