Word on the street
What locals are saying
Madra Rua is a genuine Park Circle institution, open since 2003 and repeatedly voted Most Authentic Irish Pub in the Lowcountry by Charleston City Paper readers — locals treat it as their actual neighborhood bar, not a tourist destination. The Madra Burger, shepherd's pie, fisherman's pie, and signature layered draughts draw strong praise, and staff are consistently called attentive and personable. The main gripes are the cramped/uncomfortable seating when busy and a beer tap lineup that craft-beer regulars find unambitious beyond the Irish staples.
