Solid spot to watch soccer without having to go too far out of downtown. Can get crowded on game days, but great atmosphere and decent beer selection. Go for the slow roasted Lamb dip

Came here for the fish n chips didn’t even think of looking at the menu, and I’d do it again! The fish was juicy, tasty, and none of the fishy business 🐟👍🏽 Enjoyed watching the soccer game here

Haven't been there for trivia night. But this place is amazing. From the atmosphere, the people, the food and the drinks. Hands down the best Irish pub in Chicago.

Everything I have had to eat here has been delicious. You can't beat the $3 Mimosas on Saturday and Sunday. Staff is great and love watching soccer here.

✞CONSTANTINE ✞March 26, 2014
The atmosphere is rustic, but there is ample outdoor seating that isn't dark & dated. The cocktails are good, if overpriced. The food looked gr8, but fell down here and there in the taste department.

Very hard to pick something from the menu. Nothing seemed to jump out. BUT the mac n cheese was BOMB , pork tacos were good but very Americanized, and the thick fries were delicious :)

Awesome food, deliciously upscale and surprisingly affordable! Curry parsnip soup was to die for; as was the whisky selection :D

Tables in front only allow for 4 people and they won't let you add chairs. Nice staff otherwise.

Delicious Irish breakfast served all day. If you don't like your eggs runny you should let then know, or you'll be very sad. Great world cup spot too!

Ask for the Guinness ice cream without any toppings and put it in a pint of Guinness. Trust me.

They've got the Irish standards on tap but nothing else obscure or singular. Lamb sandwich was great though.

The menu was big and the live band was great.

It's testy Guinness nitro IPA 5.8%. Nevertheless, the service was unfortunately slow.
