About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Tucked into the heart of downtown Anderson, SC, McGee's Irish Pub & Restaurant offers a distinct alternative to regular eating and drinking establishments. Diversity is the key to McGee's special appeal. Business people appreciate the quality of our menu served in our private meeting room. Others prefer to linger, quietly enjoying the evening and forgetting the world outside. We offer a wide selection of ales and lagers, with a seasonal specialty brew always on tap to please the "stoutest" of beer enthusiasts. Our bar also offers an extensive list of top shelf scotches, Irish whiskies, and cordials.
However, the real pleasure of visiting our pub comes from our kitchen. McGee's Irish Pub's kitchen staff offers top quality, full course meals and table service on par with upscale dining restaurant in the region at a fraction of the price. We also feature an 80+ wine list designed by owner & Wine Spectator Award winner John Benca.

    We went to McGee's for a birthday brunch. Food included eggs benedict, french toast casserole and a couple of different burgers. All the food was good, but nothing was really great.

    This place is a gem. Yes, it has the ambience, menu, and decor you’d want, but the food is actually really good and the service is excellent (thanks, Sage!). We don’t go out often, but this is one of our favorite places in the area.

    We needed to expand from 2 to 4 people so I called a couple of hours before our reservation time and they were very accommodating. Our server was very nice and gave us plenty of time. The food was very good as usual, fairly priced, and good portions. It was a very good Mother's Day for my wife!

    If you are looking for an authentic "pub grub" lunch experience... Look in at McGee's! Good food, great atmosphere and great service.... And a pint of Irish brew... Now that's a package you can't afford to miss. Go check out McGee's in Anderson, SC.

    McGee’s is one of those cozy restaurants that is locally-owned and has been one of the cornerstones of our downtown for decades. The owners, John and Dixie, are deeply rooted in our community and work hard to deliver a beautiful dining experience! Having visited Ireland, we find that their interpretation of an authentic Irish pub is pretty darn good!!! Hands down, they have the best outdoor dining area in downtown. They also have a lovely private room for those special occasions. Check out their calendar of events for trivia nights, movie nights and live music. If you are visiting Anderson, McGee’s is not to be missed !!
