Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Henry McCarty Irish Pub has opened in the West 7th Entertainment District.
There’s no sticky floors or rotten wood smell. It may just be the nicest Irish pub Fort Worth has ever seen. It’s dressed with snazzy checker flooring, a dark oak bar (in classic Irish fashion) and leather seating. Even the bathrooms are nice.
Previous Irish pubs in the area just felt like watering holes that served Guinness (and most bars serve Guinness nowadays anyway). But the Irish theme at Henry McCarty’s is evident, from the classic dark wood pub interior, to the full Irish food menu and variety of Irish beer served in a tulip glass.
In my opinion, the new pub is just as much a restaurant as it is a bar. While you can order wings and a soft pretzel, there’s also complex dishes like corned beef and cabbage rolls or shepherd’s pie. On St. Patrick’s Day, there will be live music, a live bagpiper and shot specials…
