McKiernans Irish Tavern

McKiernans Taverna Irlandesa -- Rambla de la Llibertat 30-32, Girona; tel. 972220141




This Irish pub is nicely situated at one of the busiest streets in Girona, with chairs outside so on sunny days one can contemplate the passers-by or the Saturday Market while seeping lazily one's pint of beer. They serve draught Guinness and Murphy's.




The inside of the pub is decorated with typical green sofas and chairs which though look good may not be too comfortable for some. The overall arrangement looks very pleasant.

The menu includes typical pub food, such as chicken club sandwich, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, hamburger, Caesar's salad, etc. They also serve meal of the day, such as chilli con carne, seafood pasta and fish and chips. They feature an interesting dish called Beef with Guinness, with trunks of tenderly prepared beef cooked with a sauce made with Guinness and mashed potato on top. It was a pity that, when I tried, the mashed potato did not taste too much like potatoes, and I may be wrong as to it being made from potatoes at all. I also tried the seafood pasta which, although it said "seafood", I could only find shrimps.

Service is all right, I have nothing to complain about.

It is a place to meet with friends over a pint, so one should not be too picky about the food. Real actions happen in the evenings. They also show soccer games.

As a note, the bathroom is fine, though it has its typical smell. So, if you do not need to go, just leave it.
