About Us

This is interior of modern european pub.

A Toronto Tradition Since 1962

What started as a welcoming spot for Irish immigrants has grown into one of the city's most cherished institutions: an old-school pub where the stories are as rich as the Guinness, the craic is always flowing, and every visitor becomes part of the family.

Step inside to:

  • Cold pints of the finest Irish and local brews
  • Hearty pub classics done right—think perfect fish & chips, shepherd's pie, and more
  • Live music that fills the room Wednesday through Saturday
  • A cozy, character-filled space adorned with nods to Irish poets, bands, and history

Whether you're here to catch a match, celebrate with mates, unwind after work, or simply soak up the unbeatable atmosphere, McVeigh's remains a steadfast slice of Ireland in the middle of Toronto.

Come raise a glass with us. The doors have been open since 1962—and we're just getting started.

Stopped in for a pint of Magner’s Cider while exploring Toronto. Sports on the TV, cold brews pouring and extremely friendly service. Stop in and cool off with the crew!
