Great place. Went by there on a Saturday night and had a great time with karaoke. Friendly place. read more

The guy with the beard was super rude. He legit yelled at us for keeping the drinks at the corner of the pool table. I understand that it was wrong but it was not something that he should have yelled about. And absolutely not something that he should have expected a tip after. read more

McGinty's - a bar with bottles of alcohol - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

See all

I was back in Columbia this weekend to hang out with some old college friends. One of my friends is a regular here because it's fairly close to his home and he can walk if necessary. There seem to be quite a number of regulars here, especially on Saturday nights for karaoke. As others pointed out, it's kind of a dive bar, but they do have a large, good selection of craft beers on tap with several local beers available. The prices are reasonable, and the service is pretty good. read more

Dive bar. Another bar tender directed us here on a dive bar day. They were right. Divey. Met some nice regulars. Ok, but not overly friendly staff. Service fair. Lots of beers on tap here. We comfy our first time here. read more

McGinty's - Nice dive bar! - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Good selection of beers and whiskey; three very drunk guys next to me; bar tender kept serving them; many f bombs; obnoxious; should have cut them off; illegal; unprofessional; illadvised. read more

Cheap and fun. Closest thing to Cheers you will find in columbia. The bartenders know their beer and wiskey. If it is not crazy busy they enjoy a good conversation. If it is busy they move crazy fast. read more

This place looks really sketchy from down the road, but it's actually kind of a cute dive bar. They actually have a pretty good alcohol selection. It was pretty dead on a Friday night, but started to pick up around midnight. There's a pool table and shuffleboard table, and somehow people were dancing. It seems like there are a few regulars who make up the bulk of the patronage. If you want a quick beer, it's not a bad place to go. But go with a group! read more

Best dive bar in Columbia, maybe the best bar in Columbia. It's mainly a haunt for locals and the occasional grad/professional student so it's a nice breather from the scene downtown. It gets busy on some weekend nights and they usually (always?) have karaoke on Saturdays. No food served and no food within walking distance other than the gas station next door. It's never been a problem for me, but just a heads up if your the type that likes to pour some greasy food over the booze in your stomach then you'll need a designated driver. read more

If you are a dive bar fan this is your place. They have over twenty beers on tap that rotate. Great whiskey and scotch selection. Pool table and shuffle board. Big patio for you smokers. Full of really cool and relaxed regulars. read more

This place is everything and more!!! If you are looking for an amazing ambiance and a dude to chick ratio of 13:1 then this is the bar for you! The rainbow in their Yelp picture is always there too. However, I looked for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and only found a turd in the toilet. Still very worth a visit though! read more

We tried to talk to the manager about the poor customer service, but it turns out the server who was rude was the manager. He basically told us to never come back, which is fine, we weren't planning on it. However, when a bar owner tells you to never come back because he is frustrated with how many drinks you've ordered, it makes you question the integrity of the place. We've gone to this place before, and it was fine, so I am not sure what the deal was this time around, but we do not plan to go to this bar again. If having AT LEAST mediocre customer service is important to you, don't go. read more

I have been hanging out at McGinty's when I get a chance for 10 years now. The regulars are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and it's small enough that there's often spontaneous dancing and fun with total strangers. It's not the prettiest place to look at, but we keep coming back because it's a great atmosphere. read more

I was very excited to check out McGinty's. I'd driven past it about 5 or 6 times since I moved to CoMo. So my wife and I finally made a pit stop there on our way home one Saturday afternoon. I imagined that McGinty's would be just like any other dive--kind of dark, dingy, maybe a pool table and a wide beer selection. My prediction was accurate and we were off to a good start. Too bad the service was the worse I've seen yet in Columbia. The bartender was a total douche. As we sat at the bar, he stared us down without even saying "Hi" or "How's it going?" What's worse is that I said "How's it going?" and he didn't even respond. I ordered a beer which thankfully was cold and filled to the brim. I knew immediately that we would not be staying for a second drink. On our way out, I tipped him a buck and the motherf***er didn't even have the courtesy to say "Thank you." I guess it's my fault--I was stupid enough to tip such crappy service. This bartender and the owner of McGinty's will never see another cent of my money. read more
