McGrath's Irish Pub

McGrath's Irish Pub.jpg

This comfortable old pub has lots of character, with vintage posters, beautiful paintings, models of tall ships, and various musical instruments adorning the walls. Amenities include cable TV (often tuned to the History Channel if there isn't a game on), a state-of-the-art jukebox, a computer with a high-speed internet connection, and several dartboards. Just ask the bartender for the house darts if you find yourself without yours.


The bar boasts an array of bottled beer, cider and wine, and behind the bar we have favorites like Cazadores, Sailor Jerry's, Captain Morgan, Jameson's, and Bombay Sapphire. On tap there's Red Tail Ale, Trummer Pilsner, and Guinness waiting to be poured into frosty pint glasses. The bartenders here are well-versed in making shooters, with God Shave the Queen and Washington Apples being the most popular.


Music is a huge part McGrath's, and several nights a week you'll be entertained by live musicians. Check the website to see who is scheduled to play, or drop in for open mic night on Tuesdays! There's also a bluegrass jam on Mondays and an acoustic jam on Wednesdays. Then on Thursdays, we host a dart tournament open to all comers.


So come visit us at 1539 Lincoln Avenue on the corner of Stanton Street in Alameda (94501)! Relax and surf the internet or shoot some darts with me (I need all the practice I can get for my next match with Jenny)! Try our famous God Shave the Queen shooter, or a tall glass of Guinness in an imperial pint. See you soon!
