Planning Your Visit

Do you accept walk-ins, or are reservations required?

McGarity’s is quite popular, so reservations are definitely recommended. Walk-ins are welcome, but wait times can be very long. Parties of up to six guests can reserve online through this website. Parties of seven or more should call 479-363-6038 during our regular business hours so our staff can discuss availability. You can also join our online waitlist before arriving. Reservations and waitlist places are not created, changed, canceled, or confirmed through email, contact forms, direct messages, general voicemail, Stella, or our website chat; please use your reservation link or call the restaurant for help.

Do you allow pets or service animals?

We’d love to welcome all our furry friends! Arkansas health regulations prohibit pets, including emotional-support animals that are not trained service animals, inside restaurants. This is a state requirement we must follow. Service animals are welcome!

If you’re accompanied by a service animal, please let our team know when you arrive. We won’t ask questions about your service animal or request paperwork or personal medical details. Thank you for understanding!

Is your restaurant wheelchair accessible?

Yes, with one important restroom limitation. McGarity’s has one van-accessible parking space, wheelchair-accessible entry through two doors, and wheelchair-accessible tables inside the restaurant. Because our restaurant is located in an older building, the restrooms are not currently wheelchair accessible. We want guests to have this information before visiting so they can plan comfortably. If you need help finding an accessible entrance or table when you arrive, please let a staff member know and we will be happy to assist.

What is the dress code at McGarity’s?

Casual attire is always welcome at McGarity’s! Whether you’re joining us in shorts and a T-shirt, your favorite jeans, or a suit for a special occasion, you’ll fit right in. Come comfortable, relax, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of our Irish restaurant and pub. We’re happy to have you at our table!

We serve great food made with fresh ingredients, cooked to order. No one leaves hungry — not on our watch.

Please note: Stella & our chat assistant can provide reservation information, but they cannot make or change reservations. Reservations must be made online or by calling the restaurant during our regular hours of operation.
