Awesome! Awesome! Great Great Great
Nice place, though a bit dimly lit. The beer selection is pretty good, and their food is decent -- better than standard bar fare, to be sure! The bartender both times I was there was cute and had on a tight T-shirt, which always raises my ... ahem ... spirits. The biggest draw for the place, though, is the live music they have almost every night. They have some pretty good bands too, I understand, although I've not gotten a chance to get there to see any of them.

A fine selection of ales, stouts and lagers, all very well kept and poured properly. Surprisingly good food, a lot more creative than average pub fare.

McGonigel's Mucky Duck is well regarded for its good pub food and fine beer selection, and is recognized as an excellent venue for live acoustic music. The McGonigel's website contains a copy of the food menu, including their highly recommended scotch eggs, and it showcases the many musicians scheduled to perform on their stage in upcoming weeks and months. I could not find any discussion of the Mucky Duck's beer selection on the website, so I thought I would say a little more about that here. There are close to 30 taps, dominated by UK and other imports. On this September visit, these included Fuller's ESB & Porter, MacEwans, Belhaven Scottish Ale, Whitbread, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, and more commonly found brands such as Harp, Guinness, Murphy's Stout, Newcastle, and Boddington's. German beers included oktoberfests from Spaten and Paulaner, and a Paulaner Hefe. American craft beers were also represented, including Fat Tire, Red Seal, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Abita Amber, Anchor Steam, Full Sail Pale Ale, and Sam Adams Octoberfest. The few remaining taps featured several ciders, a major brewer's light beer, and Texas' favorite Shiner Bock. A good place to enjoy a pint is on the patio. If you are just interested in beer and some pub fare, come early before the music crowd arrives later in the evening, when there is usually a cover charge.

The food is great and goes wonderfully well with the beer. The beer... there are some great beers here.. but I am partial to the Guinness and the Young's double Choc Stout. There are a lot of great bands that come through here and all in all it is a super cool place to hang out. Not a lot of crazy kids that I've ever seen, but a good place for people to enjoy food, listen to great music, and drink some great beer.
