A gem tucked away in downtown Anderson. Some Scott and Irish meals. I had the lamb stew. Shredded lamb with mashed potatoes. The lamb had a tang of flavor and wine and the mashed potatoes were perfect. The pumpernickel was warm and delicious to sop up the gravy yummmmy. My hubby had the fish and chips with port wine mushrooms for a side that was to die for. Two pieces of fish and fries with their house tartare sauce. Cold slaw was made with a green curry dressing ok in small doses. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was true rustic English pub and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Watched first half of fifa futbol USA and Australia. Fun people. Waitstaff was great! Prices are comparable with other restaurants. Bon appetito read more

I recently held a birthday party for my sister in the private room, and it was a wonderful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space provided plenty of room for guests to mingle, stand, and move around comfortably before and after dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait staff were accommodating, efficient, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, and the excellent service made the celebration even more special. I would recommend this venue for anyone planning a private event or special occasion. read more

In town for the holidays and found this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cool vibe inside. Has an old Irish pub feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great and the food was outstanding. My table had pizza, Bangers and Mash and I had the corned beef and cabbage. All super delish. The corned beef was so tender and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really enjoyed our meal and the vibe here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This Irish Pub located around downtown Anderson is easy to walk or drive. Day before St Patrick's Day 2025, they had to save corned beef for then, so no Reuben available. Of course had to order one Guinness, fish & chips to-go, and tried the Scottish porridge. Porridge was nutty tasting and filled me up, also w side of grits or potatoes. My friend ordered breakfast pizza that has grits & eggs cooked into thin crust, she enjoyed it. My wife ate fish & chips later, she said it was heavy battered, the side of curried coleslaw is an acquired taste is what we determined. This is a perfectly fine Irish pub, our waitress Clemence was a jewel, sample a few different dishes until find your favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a small stage for live music, outdoor seating, stairs lead up not sure if this for public overflow or employee only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Old school Irish pub with a tremendous menu. I had the Irish lamb stew and it was delicious. The lamb was slow cooked and had a huge dollop of flavorful mashed potatoes in the middle. I had a smith-wicks ale and for dessert a Bailey's Irish cream crème brûlée. Our waitress Alina was attentive and wonderful! They never pressured us to leave and we will definitely be back to try the Shepherd's Pie. read more

The star of the show was our server Jake! Even if the food didn't live up to our expectations (it did) he was awesome! For our appetizer, per Jake's recommendation, we ordered the Fried Cajun Shrimp Cocktail. He was not wrong! The battered shrimp with cocktail sauce and Cajun remoulade was a perfect starter with loads of flavor! For lunch I chose the Shepard's Pie, perfect for this cold snap we're experiencing. I'd been craving Shepard's Pie (and considered cooking my own soon) this hit the spot! The hubby was struggling to choose between the Lamb Stew or Fish & Chips and ultimately went with the latter (I was hoping the former) but the fish was perfectly battered and the fries are the ones that seem double fried(?) not sure how to explain but they are crispy with a bit of fluff to them, perfect and perfectly seasoned. I couldn't resist helping him eat his meal too both our lunch choices were wonderful! I would order either/both again but I want to try some other options from their menu that I was torn on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great lunch! Great service! Great atmosphere! 5 stars for McGee's for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Decided to take my wife to date night and selected McGees. The reason was to listen to the band that was scheduled to perform. Got there in plenty of time only to learn after the scheduled time of performance that the band would not be coming. Worse yet they never called to cancel. Seems to be a regular event at this establishment. Bands not showing up and management not holding them responsible. At least announce to the customers that things didn't go as planned. Food is not as savory as I remember from past times going there. My wife and I will rethink going back. Don't have the patience or time to waste giving second chances when their management cares very little about honoring a commitment to have a performance act and doesn't seem to care whether they show or not read more

So crazy-we went for StPatricks Day. Had to wait- at the bar- One Guinness- wonderful. I had Corned Beef and Cabbage. My friend had Fish and Chips. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was loud- but super fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will go back- any other day as well. Great service and "Irish food " well done McGees read more

Decided to check out this Irish pub with a friend. We have both been to Ireland so the bar was set high. Easy to find location on W Orr Street in Anderson with lots of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great Irish pub vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a stage for Live Music every Friday @ 7pm (according to the menu -featuring the best in Celtic, Folk, & World Music).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]That would be fun to experience, but I bet it would be crowded![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were two dinner specials, but we chose off the menu. I wanted to try a typical dish so I went with the Belfast Fish & Chips, crispy fries & curried coleslaw. My friend chose the Woodland Chicken Pasta. Both plates had good portions and the food was good. We had coffee and fruit cobbler for dessert. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll have to take the hubby next time. I think he'd enjoy trying out the different beers. read more

Cons: Food was unimpressive. I ordered a burger, the patty didn't taste like it had any seasoning. A salad was ordered that looked. good. Shrimp and fries plate was also not impressive. The server seemed new and kept having to go "ask" the questions we asked about the food, plus no smile. Pros: [[HIGHLIGHT]]easy seating, no body else was inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fried mushrooms were good. read more

Absolutely amazing food!

This place is excellent. Was really in the mood for fish and chips and this was the only place local. Good portion of fish with a nice light batter. Tartar sauce was made in house and really delicious. Wife ordered a French onion soup and burger which was also very good. Staff was very friendly and waiter that served us was extremely friendly and provided awesome service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place definitely gives off Irish pub vibes and had all the college football flags up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nice place ! read more

The family and I went to this location yesterday on St Patrick's Day. After receiving a check the server charged me for whatever I didn't order and I had to deal with the waitress. I ordered 2 sex on the beach (first one was weak then second one I asked for the stronger one) and I told her that I wanted to speak with the manager and she said the manager was not available at that time. What I have here says 1 Hurricane SOB for $8 and 2 sex on the beach for $18. read more

Anderson, you have some seriously talented chefs. McGees has become our Sunday go-to for brunch after church. Never disappointed with our meal. All servers are terrific. We usually sit inside but are on the patio today which is so enjoyable and comfortable. The puppy next to us thinks so, too. read more

I picked up their Fish n Chips for Mothers Day last year to take to my Stepmom. We both agreed these were THE best either of us had had in a very long time! They had just finished their lunch shift but STILL stayed and made us out to go order! I thought that was above and beyond! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the "Pub feel" that the restaurant had as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back! I want to come on a Friday or Saturday for the MUSIC! See you SOON!

Traveling through the area with family and had to check out this place since all of us love a good Irish pub! The ambience made us feel we really were in Ireland, and their draft beer selection was excellent. I chose the Blackened salmon with a Caesar salad on recommendation from the waitress and the chef cooked it to perfection. The waitress was very attentive, thoughtful. If I lived in the area, I would have gone back to hear the live Celtic band playing the next weekend. They have an outdoor area in addition to the huge bar and dining area that was cozy and welcoming. Looks like they have a thriving business and I can see why. read more

My husband and I have been here twice and both times it was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Warm pub atmosphere, really good food and friendly attentive staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bangers and mash are delicious! read more

We went for the 2 for special on prime rib dinner. it is their thurs night special. The food arrived to the table all wrong. Over cooked, cold . The meat was tough and tasteless. The waitress ignored us for the first 30 mins and then after the food arrived remained scarce. When she did come around I commented on the meal. She took back the food and returned with a piece that was cooked the same. The manager come over later and offered to get another piece. Came back and said they were all the same. This was a special occasion for us. Really a terrible experience all around, even with a partial credit. read more

Good food, friendly staff. Interesting atmosphere. It had a lot of Irish favorites, like shepherds pie and bangers and mash. I loved the hush puppies with lavender honey. My burger was a bit overdone but still tasty. read more

Check Facebook; get the special if it's the prime rib. Cooked to perfection, garlic mashed potatoes, with an au jus and a creamy horse radish on the side. Wait staff is helpful and friendly pairing a wine for you upon request And desert... not sure it was plum pudding, but whatever it is has currents brown sugar, and is served warm. Appetizer to desert for $26.00! Highly recommend this!!!! read more

Best Irish pub I know. The food is crave able. The Guinness is done right. The atmosphere is exactly what you want. The service was top notch. read more

Not good for husband's birthday brunch. Had to ask our waitress about specials after hearing another waitress describing them to her table. We didn't get descriptions, just told what they were out of at noon in a mostly empty restaurant. Joe liked his corned beef hash and eggs but no toast? I think it was forgotten. My breakfast "bowl" was cold, microwave bacon, and a weird taste I couldn't put my finger on until I started finding large rosemary leaves which don't belong in eggs. No description on the menu. Disappointed, had a great lunch across the street on Friday and should have tried their brunch. read more

Service was excellent. Atmosphere was great. We had spring rolls and chicken livers for appetizers. Haddock and Blackened Ribeye for entree. Everything was very good except the steak. It tasted gamey. I tried two different bites...couldn't swallow it, but my husband ate most all of it but a small piece. Great menu selection. read more

Food was absolutely awesome, drink menus are exactly what a pub should have. Reminds me of Tommy Condons in Charleston SC. Our server/bartender was by herself and she handled everything ( other tables also ) with grace and ease. I wonder if any Irish Society has any meetings here? read more

The food is always great and the atmosphere inviting. My fav is the Bangers and Mash, but if you are a beef eater, theirs is local, from Starr, SC. The bread is as good as cake! read more
