McGeady's is THE town pub in Monroe. The atmosphere is the best in the city and makes it easy to spend a long evening enjoying food, drink and company. It's not rowdy or hipster, and that goes a long way. The menu offers much more than you'd expect from a pub, and the taste and quality is better than many full restaurants in town. It's easy to become a regular here -- you're always treated like a friend.
Review Source:I'll agree with Brittany H that nothing aside from the name is very Irish here, but it's still an A-OK place.
Typical bar fare (fries, wings, burgers, fish and chips etc) with a few surprises here and there. Our burgers were a bit overdone (we ordered medium-rare and medium-well, and got medium and well-done, respectively) and the crab bisque is actually made with the fake "krab" which was a huge disappointment, but the service was quick and friendly, the prices were reasonable, the place was clean and comfortable, and they seemed to have some pretty decent drink specials.
Never eaten here before until tonight, saw it reviewed on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Â Located in adorable downtown Monroe. Â Service was super fast, no wait for a table. Â Great drink specials and food special menu. Â Not a huge selection for pescatarians, but we ended up getting fish and chips, a ceasar salad, spinach artichoke dip and crab bisque. Â Food was good, and the atmosphere in the place was laidback and fun. Â Will be trying it again. Â Recommend.
Review Source:The Best in Monroe, hands down !!! If you're going there for beer, thats fine. They do have a nice selection when it comes to beer. But what really makes it stand out above all the other establishments that I've visited is the excellent food and service. The staff is always very friendly and they go out their way to make sure you're happy.
This isn't your typical bar with just pretzels and peanuts. They of course have what you'd expect to get at a bar: burgers, fries, wings, etc. The real surprise is the choice of fine dinners they have there. And when its served to you, it's not just thrown on a plate; its presented as if it were prepared in a gourmet pricey restaurant. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get there. Prepare to take home food, because they do give you very generous portions. There are so many more good things I could say about this place, but I don't want to write a novel here. The bottom line is, go there and Enjoy !!
McGeady's has that great pub feel, something Monroe doesn't really offer anywhere else. Their food is a little overpriced for what you get, but it's tasty. If you're looking for an interesting but awesome appetizer, try the deep fried broccoli! (Gotta get your broccoli in somewhere, eh?)
McGeady's also features a bar and dance floor upstairs. I never really see them used though. Such a shame; they could really get a cool club going up there! I attended a birthday party there once, which was pretty fun. It's great for a smaller party; and hey, a dance floor is available!
Probably the best place for a group dinner in downtown Monroe, and a good alternative if you are looking for local flavor, as opposed to national and regional chains found throughout the north and northwest ends of Monroe.
Reasonably priced tavern cuisine can be hit or miss, depending on the entree. Â I had a very well-prepared Cobb salad, but others were disappointed various other dinner dishes.
