Mighty McGinty's...

We are facing an unprecedented times where we are not able to do what we love…serve up the very best hospitality!

Since we launched with our first pub, McGinty's, we have been a family unit and now we are proud to have 9 venues in the city centre and importantly 250 employees that work so hard for us on a daily basis.

Whilst this closure was not part of our 2020 plans (nor anyone else’s), we want to use this time to firstly, spread positivity and secondly, to develop further exciting ideas to ensure The McGinty’s Group fights back to be just as mighty, if not mightier!

Over the next wee while, we will be sharing uplifting content across our social media channels whilst developing plans for the re-opening on the venues.
