    this is how we do it south side!

    This is probably my favorite of the Western Avenue pubs. Since most of the people that go drinking on Western are underage...Keegan's has a slightly older crowd...now that I'm 30 I need a little of that. Don't get me wrong cork and kerry, especially with the new addition is a great classic Irish pub...The difference is the guiness...Keegans has the best guiness pour in the entire city of Chicago and some people say west of Ireland. I hadn't been in in 5 or 6 years and the second I walked threough the door 3 people shouted my name....gotta love it!To compare it to dingers is apples and oarnges.....being the white sox fan that I am and all the time I spent in dingers when I was 16 leaves a softspot in my heart.....You can't beat the guiness at Keegans though. Cheers!

    The craic is good here. Favorite pub on the southside. Don't come for frills none here but craic and pints are a plenty.

    Clearly the table top wasn't secure before.

    The best pub for all things IRISH! Yes, Keegan's is there is spirit, but Barney Callaghan's is by far the finest pub in Chicago!

    Beautiful bar space, expansive whiskey selection, attentive space. Only problem is it's really noisy in there!
