McGarity’s Restaurant & Irish Pub—where Ireland meets the Ozarks.
OUR BRAND AND VISION STATEMENT
At McGarity’s Restaurant & Irish Pub®, taking care of people is the heart of what we do. We bring Irish warmth and Ozarks character together around the table, creating a restaurant where people can settle in, enjoy a satisfying meal, and feel welcome from the moment they arrive. We want every guest to feel that choosing to spend their time with us matters.
Our promise is to take pride in what we serve and responsibility for how we serve it. That means listening, paying attention to the details, and responding with care when something needs to be made right. We believe a restaurant earns its reputation through the everyday efforts of a team that cares about the people seated at its tables.
That responsibility extends to people in need. We provide freshly prepared meals completely free of charge, with no questions asked. We personally cover the cost, and every meal is served with the same care and dignity we would want for our own family.
Our vision is to make McGarity’s a lasting part of the Eureka Springs community: a restaurant our neighbors are proud to recommend, travelers remember long after returning home, and our team is proud to help build. As we grow, we want our reputation to reflect the things that matter most to us—food worth returning for, people who care, and a welcome that means something.
At McGarity’s, we believe great food starts with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a kitchen that takes pride in every plate. Every dish is cooked to order, our handcrafted cocktails feature house-made mixers, and our team is made up of some of the finest people you’ll ever meet.
We’re known for generous portions, genuine hospitality, and treating every guest who walks through our doors like they truly matter. Whether you’re visiting Eureka Springs for the first time or you’re one of the familiar faces we’re fortunate enough to see every week, we want McGarity’s to feel like a place you’re always welcome.
We believe a great restaurant should be about more than simply serving a meal. It should be a place where people can relax, laugh, celebrate, reconnect, and make memories around the table. We take pride in doing things the right way, from the ingredients we choose and the drinks we create to the way our guests are treated from the moment they arrive.
We also believe value still matters. That means serving food we’re proud to put our name on, portions that leave you satisfied, and an experience that makes you want to come back. We’re fortunate to have an incredibly hardworking team that genuinely cares about this restaurant, our guests, and the community we call home.
At the end of the day, we want every person who visits McGarity’s to leave happier than when they walked in. Great food, great drinks, generous portions, and genuine hospitality—that’s what we’re about.
And one thing is certain: no one leaves McGarity’s hungry—not on our watch.

Planning Your Visit
Do you accept walk-ins, or are reservations required?
McGarity’s is quite popular, so reservations are definitely recommended. Walk-ins are welcome, but wait times can be very long.
Reservations: Book online for 1–6 guests at least 2 hours ahead. Arrive within 10 minutes of your reservation time or your table goes to the next party. No-shows without cancellation will be banned from future online reservations. Please cancel as soon as you know using your confirmation-text link or call 479-363-6038. If you’re running late, call us right away. Reservations receive priority seating over walk-ins.
Waitlist: Join online for 1–6 guests per party. Joining is not a reservation, and wait times are estimates. Return within 10 minutes of your table-ready text or your table goes to the next party. Keep your phone nearby. If your plans change, cancel through your confirmation-text link or call us. Online joining is available during waitlist hours and pauses when estimated waits exceed 2 hours. Existing entries are not cancelled by that pause.
For parties of 7 or more, call during our regular business hours. Reservations and waitlist places are not created, changed, cancelled, or confirmed through email, contact forms, direct messages, general voicemail, Stella, or our website chat. Use your confirmation link or call the restaurant for help.
Do you allow pets or service animals?
We’d love to welcome all our furry friends! Arkansas health regulations prohibit pets, including emotional-support animals that are not trained service animals, inside restaurants. This is a state requirement we must follow. Service animals are welcome!
If you’re accompanied by a service animal, please let our team know when you arrive. We won’t ask questions about your service animal or request paperwork or personal medical details. Thank you for understanding!
Is your restaurant wheelchair accessible?
Yes, with one important restroom limitation. McGarity’s has one van-accessible parking space, wheelchair-accessible entry through two doors, and wheelchair-accessible tables inside the restaurant. Because our restaurant is located in an older building, the restrooms are not currently wheelchair accessible. We want guests to have this information before visiting so they can plan comfortably. If you need help finding an accessible entrance or table when you arrive, please let a staff member know and we will be happy to assist.
What is the dress code at McGarity’s?
Casual attire is always welcome at McGarity’s! Whether you’re joining us in shorts and a T-shirt, your favorite jeans, or a suit for a special occasion, you’ll fit right in. Come comfortable, relax, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of our Irish restaurant and pub. We’re happy to have you at our table!
