The Story Behind The Henry McCarty Irish Pub
At The Henry McCarty Irish Pub in Fort Worth, Texas, history pours as freely as our whiskey. Named after the legendary Henry McCarty — better known as Billy the Kid — our pub is a tribute to bold spirits, timeless stories, and fearless independence. We fuse the warmth of Irish tradition with the untamed soul of the American frontier, creating a space where heritage, flavor, and community collide.
Born in the late 1850s, Henry McCarty became a Wild West icon, remembered for his outlaw legacy and unbreakable defiance. Though his life was short, his story lived on — a tale of rebellion that still inspires. At our pub, we celebrate that spirit not through lawlessness, but through hearty Irish meals, craft beer, and a welcoming place to gather. The Henry McCarty Irish Pub isn't just a bar — it's a meeting ground for stories, laughter, and unforgettable nights in Fort Worth.
