"The Irish pub in West Portal has teamed up with the Peruvian restaurant Franco’s Latin Table. Every day from 2-10pm, you can chill out on their sidewalk patio, and enjoy light bites like ceviche, adobo sliders, and empanadas. McCarthy’s recently announced it’s starting up weekend brunch from 12-3pm, which includes Franco’s lomo saltado and burger. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Just got back from Dublin and miss it so randomly decided to go to McCarthy. The Irish coffee is so good, if you like Buena Vista Irish Coffee ask for 2 sugar cubes, it's Ireland Irish coffee level good. Love it. Good vibe. Good place to watch a game with friendly strangers. Food is from Franco's Latin Table ( also one of my favorite restaurant in West Portal). ☘️🇮🇪💚

This is a neighborhood Irish bar where locals gather to watch ball games in the city while enjoying a pint of Guinness away from the crowded SF. They serve popular Irish fairs from Franco's Latin table next door.

Giving this a 5 stars, cant comment on the food as I just came for the Guinness. If looking for a good of the black stuff, well this has to be on the list when you’re visiting San Francisco. I went to three pubs for the Guinness on my trip here & this along with the Irish Times were given the thumbs up by Steve G, global head of Quality for Diageo who was here around the same time as me.

We stopped in a couple of times while visiting San Francisco. I was amazed at how unpretentious this place is. A good old style Irish pub. I can't comment on the food but the beer was cold and they had a ballgame on the TV. The bartender was very nice and friendly. No big tables, no snotty wait staff. I believe they get their food from the restaurant next door. I would love a place like this in Toledo.

I was being harassed by a man in this bar and they told me to leave when I stuck up for myself when I left the bar the guy came out and punched me twice. This is not a safe place for women. Do not come here!

Legit Irish pub just like what you'd get in a small Irish town. Not pretentious or fancy (don't bother asking for a cocktail menu) - this place has Irish regulars and even on a Monday night is buzzing with laughter and stories. Good brews on tap. Friendly banter and service from the staff.

We popped in a couple of times recently, and I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Irene behind the bar is great to chat with. Her Irish accent is fully preserved even after decades here. She's charming and down to earth. Go visit her and have a brew or cocktail.

Very nice. Eileen (sorry if I've misspelled your name) is very kind and attentive. The only things missing were some single Irish guys, though that's not the fault of the bar. Overall very clean and a relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are pretty good, and not overpriced.
