McGuires is the BEST Irish Pub in all of North Carolina! I absolutely love the Irish Wake, along with perfectly fried potatoes, and a great Killians Irish Brew. The bar-maids are as nice and courteous as, me dear old mum. I tip my hat to you Ms. Katey, and raise my glass to say Thank You ma’am.

McGuire’s was pretty solid. My drink was strong. The French fries were good. My sandwich was tasty if not exactly generous. I was tired and hungry and looking for a chill, little place to grab a late dinner before I went to bed. And McGuire’s fit the bill perfectly.

McGuire’s is Hickory’s downtown dive bar and that’s why I’m a fan! It is below the ground and you have to descend a winding staircase to get down to it. Once you’re inside you definitely feel like you are underground. It’s dark and chill and comfortable. There is a jukebox in there that has received many a crumpled up dollar bill from me. There is also live music on the weekends. You won’t find much in the way of a beer selection but by god the prices are cheap and the folks are friendly. I don’t recall if I’ve ever actually eaten the food but I’m sure it serves the purpose. This is a great place to meet up with some friends for a few drinks

Do not expect a great beer selection. Food seems to be good for bar food type fair. Nice atmosphere. Late night it turns in to a hangout for the overly tattooed and grungy type so stay away then if it is not your thing. I’d skip on past this place unless you want to try someplace new and mediocre for dinner.
