One of the great traditions in Irish Themed bars in Chicago . The food is also pretty darn good too! Packed in the evenings or weekends & Christmas time . It's a quiet place for lunch so stop by then.

For a guy who doesn’t drink beer , one wonders why I enjoy this place. The energy. The Reuben Sandwich , and Daniel the best server.

Awesome bar with a nostalgic atmosphere, chill social crowd, magical Christmas decorations (complete with a toy train that circles the ceiling), cheerful service! Bottles up!

Super friendly staff . Justin was a rocking bartender . Midnight turns into amateur hour though. Not sure what school lets out then but they take over the place. :)

The limited outdoor space is great. Real beer can be found there. .food was better than I expected for a bar in that area.

All I have to say is lemon drop shots with M,S and J (if I named them they would just deny they like to make see how many I can have in any one sitting. But I rarely paid. In cash, brain cells maybe.
