Magoo's Pub Eatery - Frederick County

I’m so glad we stumbled upon this when our planned restaurant was closed. I had a lovely shepherd’s pie. My husband had a burger. Bun stayed intact!

We gave this place 2 tries and both times they struck out. First time was during covid, when all the Frederick restaurants had seating on the sidewalk. We had our little dog with us and have been at a few bars with our dog. All of the other places let us sit outside with our dog. We went to Macgoos for a drink and they wouldn't serve us on the sidewalk bc they had our dog with us-yet every other place had done so. If you know anything about Frederick, it's a very pet friendly downtown. I understand if we would have went inside the place but we weren't, we were out on the sidewalk seating they had. Strike one. Gast forward a few years later. We were downtown Frederick without our dog this time and decided to give then another try. It was St Patty's weekend and we walked to the door and was met by a pretty unfriendly hostess. We were informed that if we were not ordering food, we can't come in for a drink, but she gave us the option to go downstairs to the basement bar to order our drinks. We said ok and went to the basement. It was a storage room with an old brand drink selection was very limited. So we got a drink and went back up to the sidewalk seating. We watched several patrons come and go and they weren't asked about ordering food and just went in for a drink. This is the last time we will ever give them a chance. I encourage several others to do the same.

First time. The atmosphere was great. Service was great. Food was not. I’m excited to see lamb burgers on a menu. It’s a special treat. This lamb burger was not good. Like a beef burger, a lamb burger shouldn’t be smooth. And the fries that came with the lamb burger were in a small cup. I think there were maybe ten fries. My husband had the vegan bangers and mash and said they were not good.

Always good time. Lovely live irish music. Great selection of whiskey.

Bad ownership that shows no morale and dignity when it comes to their business
