A Fulham local on Fulham Broadway.
Step off the District line at Fulham Broadway and we're right there — No. 1 Fulham Broadway, opposite the tube, six minutes' walk from Stamford Bridge.
A new chapter, starting this summer
This summer, the kitchen and the events diary are being handed over to Jordan Wentzel for a season of pop-up kitchens and one-off events that don't usually find their way to a pub on Fulham Broadway.
Jordan is the founder of Munchies — the Cardiff café that started life as a late-night baked-goods delivery service run out of his student kitchen on Richmond Road, before growing into a Crwys Road cult favourite known for grilled cheese, freshly-baked brownies and the occasional viral menu item. Munchies' DNA — small kitchen, big ideas, comfort food done properly — is the spirit of what's coming to McGettigan's this summer.
Still the home of the game
The pub bit isn't going anywhere. Big screens cover the room, wired up for football, rugby, GAA, cricket, tennis, golf and anything else worth shouting at. When Chelsea are at home, the screens are tuned to the Blues and the pre-match build is loud — six minutes from front door to turnstile.
Six Nations weekends, Premier League Saturdays, GAA championship rounds — they all land here. We're a sport pub first and last, and that part of the identity is being looked after, not changed.
Pints, plates and a soft Irish accent
The name's Irish. So is the Guinness — and we'll keep pouring it the way it ought to be poured, with the time and respect it asks for. Behind the bar you'll find a decent line-up of Irish whiskey, a working selection of ales, ciders and stouts, and a wine list that does the job without showing off.
When the pop-ups are running, the kitchen is whoever's behind it that week — expect everything from honest comfort food to dishes that wouldn't usually share a postcode with a sports bar. When it's just us, it's the pub classics done well: something hot, something hearty, something to soak up a third pint.
Fulham Broadway, Walham Green, and a corner that's always been a pub
Long before it was Fulham Broadway, this stretch was known as Walham Green, and people have been meeting here for a drink for nearly three centuries — the Swan Brewery stood on this very road from 1765. The crowd today is the modern version of the same thing: Chelsea fans on matchdays, locals through the week, after-work groups from the offices and the broadway, and a healthy contingent who've just followed the sound of something good down the street.
We sit at the heart of it. Tube on the doorstep, shops and the broadway around us, Bishops Park and the river a walk away.
Whether you're here for the football, the pop-up, a pint after work, or somewhere to land a big group — the door's open.
Private hire is available for parties large and small. Drop us a line and we'll figure something out.
