McGuire's Irish Pub

An Irish pub opened in 1977 whose walls are covered with over a million signed dollar bills, and whose 18-cent Senate bean soup is legendary.

Opened in 1977 by McGuire and Molly Martin, the pub moved to its current location on Gregory Street in 1982. Molly pinned the first dollar tip behind the bar, and customers followed her lead, so the walls and ceiling are now covered with more than a million signed bills. The menu focuses on steaks, burgers and Irish dishes. The most famous item is the white bean and ham soup, which still uses the 1977 U.S. Senate recipe and is served for 18 cents, though ordering it on its own costs $18. The pub also brews its own beer. Weekend dinners often involve a wait of more than an hour. Main courses cost about $20 to $50.
