In Short
Big-time Texas folkies like Alejandro Escovedo and Toni Price frequently play here (Lyle Lovett even popped in once as surprise support for Terry Allen and Guy Clark), as well as national acts like Dar Williams and… Read Full Editorial

McGonigel's Mucky Duck - best St. Patrick's Venue ever by Donna Otwell via Citysearch on 3/19/2010

I have no problem with the $20 cover to attend the St. Patrick?s Day celebration at McGonigel?s Mucky Duck. A quality venue with outstanding music, entertainment, food, and beer made me feel like I was actually in Ireland rather than…

Not Recommended for St. Patrick's Day! by Famous Amos via Citysearch on 3/18/2010

I have ALWAYS enjoyed Mucky Duck's and have recommended it to my friends, until now. We checked out the website for the St. Patrick's Day festivities at Mucky Ducks and it said $16 cover, which is already a bit high, but because we enjoy…

My Families Favorite Venue by Stacy Pever Anzick via Citysearch on 1/14/2010

Been a regular at the Mucky Duck since 1993 and always love the diversity of live music, great food and family friendly environment.\r \r Our 2 year old daughter loves going by for lunch and playing on the stage. My Mom loves special…

Who knew - Saturday Breakfast & College Football!! by Stella K via Citysearch on 10/19/2009

While the Duck is a great music venue, don't overlook their Saturday morning breakfast/lunch. We went last weekend and watched the OU vs UT game (who knew they opened at 11am on Sat) . The outside patio has been redone and there is now a…

A Houston treasure by ImageMaker via Citysearch on 8/23/2008

I don't know where the owner's size or gender have a relevant place in a review about a music/restaurant review. What I do know is the Mucky Duck is the best music listening room in Houston. Musicians love the place because the audience is…

Decent folk venue, snarky management by Tacoamerica via Citysearch on 8/4/2008

Mucky Duck is a double-edged sword as far as local venues go. It's been around a long time, successful and popular, books good acts, especially folk and Celtic, some country, blues and light rock. The acoustics have always been excellent…

Great for what it is by SquintyEyes via Citysearch on 7/26/2008

And that's a listening room. It's not a dancehall or a rowdy bar. It's one of the premier listening rooms in the country. Rusty and his wife have consistantly brought in some of the most talented - even if sometimes not best known -…

Intimate setting to hear good music by LikesMusic via Citysearch on 1/18/2008

Great intimate place to hear music. We appreciated the waitresses knowledge of beers. We tried about 5 different varieties and her knowledge was very helpful. We went to "hear" music and appreciated the rest of the crowd that wanted to…

Not recommended by macvsog_5thsfg via Citysearch on 2/23/2007

Below Average I am a Blues club frequent flier all over. This is a Quiet pretty safe parking establishment.\r Tables are jammed together where it is hard to move around. If you are a dancer "SORRY" No dance floor!\r The patrons…

Wonderful food and entertainment by Pam B via Insider Pages on 3/28/2006

We love to go to The Mucky Duck, especially when the Austin Lounge Lizards are appearing there. Their food is terrific, their list of beers is amazing, and they will even let you sample beer until you find the one you like. I can't vouch…

A national treasure by annieredding via Citysearch on 1/27/2006

Nestled on a quiet street inside the Loop, resides a unique national treasure. Easily Houston's best live music listening room for people who take their music seriously. That would seem to be enough but there's more. They have a terrific…

the best by kellkell via Citysearch on 1/23/2006

I cant recall ever having bad service or a bad time there. In fact, the service there is really good and the servers are attentive. It doesn't hurt that the bartenders are fun to look at too.

wonderful time by macmillion1977 via Citysearch on 1/14/2006

The fish and chips were fantastic and the music was a blast! What a charming and romantic little place--we will definitely go back!

User review by jillikins by jillikins via Citysearch on 12/15/2005

My friends and I went to the Mucky Duck for the first time on a Wednesday night, expecting a quiet bar where we could talk. It was definitely quiet, but so quiet that we all felt uncomfortable talking. The service was ok except for when…

STAND UP FOR THE DUCK by klewknew via Citysearch on 11/9/2005

And it's not just that I like the music. The place is intimate for reason that the average Joe may not understand. I was amazed that there were some really bad reviews of the Duck. These people are going there for the wrong reasons. …
