The Mucky Duck marches to its own drummer. It's crowded, noisy, authentic in a schizophrenic way, and very confused most of the time. Which is why we love it. Great music. Leave any pretension at the door and rub shoulders with the happy locals. A Houston original. More

Great beer and wine menus. Pretty good pub food but kitchen can be a bit slow on nites when a full house is in for the music. Lots of varied live music in a small venue. Nice deck out back with tvs for sports. Waitstaff is very well trained to take care of the customers. More

McGonigel's is a fun pub. Great food and entertainment. Has a very cozy feel to it. The owners are generally there and love to socialize. We like to attend the Boxing Day mass and lunch on Dec. 26. They have a good website, so go check it out. We call the pub "the Duck". More

Good selection of draughts from Guinness and Smithwicks to Local St. Arnolds offered in 20 oz imperial pint. Went around 10 pm for Irish music and had diversity in instruments. Sat towards the back so think the volume could have been a little higher. Bar started to feel empty around 11. Overall enjoyed my first visit. More
