About McGarry's Irish Pub

McGarry's Irish Pub is an independently owned Irish-style pub located in Bakersfield, California. Founded in 2021 in honor of James McGarry, it combines the feel of a traditional Irish pub with a modern neighborhood bar, offering a wide selection of beers, whiskey, cocktails, and classic pub fare in a casual, social setting. The pub regularly hosts live music, special events, and community fundraisers, positioning itself as a local gathering spot with a charitable mission as much as a nightlife venue.

A charge from "TST* MCGARRY'S IRISH PUB" on a card statement typically indicates you made a purchase at McGarry's Irish Pub in Bakersfield and the transaction was processed via Toast, a restaurant/bar point-of-sale system. This could be for drinks, food, event tabs, or merchandise, and might appear as a single check, a bar tab that was closed at the end of the night, or multiple smaller authorizations if the card was run more than once while open. In some cases you may see an initial pending amount (for example, when opening a tab) that later adjusts to the final total including tip.

If you don’t recognize the charge, start by checking any recent visits to bars or Irish pubs in Bakersfield and look for an emailed or paper receipt from the date of the transaction. You can also review your Toast receipts if you provided an email or phone number at checkout. If questions remain, contact McGarry's Irish Pub directly using the phone number or contact details on their official website to confirm the date, time, and amount of the charge. If the pub cannot locate the transaction or you suspect fraud, reach out to your card issuer to dispute the charge or request a new card number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement say "TST* MCGARRY'S IRISH PUB" instead of just McGarry's Irish Pub?

The "TST*" prefix indicates that your payment was processed using Toast, a restaurant and bar point-of-sale system. The actual merchant is McGarry's Irish Pub in Bakersfield, California; Toast is only the payment processor.

What types of purchases typically result in a McGarry's Irish Pub card charge?

Most charges come from bar tabs for drinks, pub food orders, event cover charges, or the purchase of merchandise during a visit to McGarry's Irish Pub. The final amount may include tax and any tip you added when closing your tab.

Can McGarry's Irish Pub place a pending or temporary hold on my card when I open a tab?

Yes. Like many bars, McGarry's may run a pre-authorization on your card through Toast when you open a tab. This can appear as a temporary hold or a small verification amount, which should update to the final total when you close the tab or fall off after a few days if the tab was closed with another payment method.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from McGarry's Irish Pub?

If you provided an email or phone number when you paid, your receipt may have been sent digitally via Toast. Otherwise, you can call McGarry's Irish Pub directly using the contact information on mcgarrysirishpub.com and provide the date, approximate time, and amount so staff can look up and reissue your receipt.

How do I dispute an incorrect charge or tip amount from McGarry's Irish Pub?

First, contact McGarry's Irish Pub and ask them to pull the original Toast transaction to verify the itemized bill and signed tip line. If there was a mistake, they can usually process an adjustment or refund. If the charge still appears incorrect or unauthorized, follow up with your bank or card issuer to open a formal dispute.

Does McGarry's Irish Pub offer tabs for groups or events that could explain a higher-than-expected charge?

Yes. During busy nights, live music, or private events, it’s common for guests to run a shared tab or keep a card on file for a group. This can result in a single larger charge instead of multiple small ones, so check whether you or someone in your party used your card as the main tab card.

How can I contact McGarry's Irish Pub if I don’t recognize a charge?

Visit mcgarrysirishpub.com for the current phone number and contact details, then call during business hours and ask to speak with a manager about a billing question. Have your card statement, the exact charge amount, and the transaction date ready so they can locate the transaction in their Toast system.

Could a McGarry's Irish Pub charge be from a prior visit even if it posted days later?

Yes. While most Toast charges settle quickly, occasional delays can occur due to batching, network issues, or when a tab is left open and later closed by staff with the last signed receipt. In these cases, the posting date on your statement may be a day or two after your actual visit.
