An American pub with irish roots M'Coul's Public House

scratch made with love

M’Coul’s Public House opened in April 2002 bringing authentic delicious Irish-American pub food to Greensboro - made from scratch. M’Coul’s also crafts some of the finest cocktails in town and offers a wide array of import and craft draught beers. There truly is something for everyone. One doesn’t have to wait until St. Patrick’s Day to get a perfectly poured pint of Guinness and the best Fish and Chips in town!

The Pub has a cozy, inviting vibe with a charming, traditional style. Customers can pick from different areas on two floors, including lovely outdoor patio seating and an upper deck with great views of historic Elm St and Greene St.

M’Coul’s is proud to be featured in Hidden Gems of America: Restaurants of 2022. Female owned from the beginning, many years of love have gone into creating a special place for guests to feel at home away from home. In true Public House spirit M’Coul’s everyone is welcome!
