    The Southside Irish Burger (cooked medium rare)
    L L.

    The best pub in town for White Sox fans and approximately two blocks from the stadium. Their burgers are fantastic and in the Top 5 of the city's best burgers! It does not matter which burger you order and I suggest trying them all. The kitchen will cook the beef patty exactly like you ask which is a plus in my book. I always request mine to be medium rare. My personal favorite burgers are The Southside Irish, The Latino, and The Chicago but not necessarily in that numeric order. Their Southside Irish burger is topped with Winston's irish bacon, Dubliner cheddar, coleslaw, and an egg which is sheer perfection.

    Nice neighborhood sports bar. Came here before the Sox game. Nice variety of food. burgers are great. Friendly staff & laid back bar. I will definitely return.

    These nachos look as bad as they tasted

    Worst nachos ever. So we ordered the BBQ Chicken nachos. We got a basket of dry chicken over salty Costo chips. I'm, talking no salas, no cheese, no sauce, no flavor. How do you call something without cheese nachos? They have no specials on game days and I have no incentive to return. I paid 6 bucks for a Crispin' which is 7.25 for 16oz at the beer fo the world tent inside the Cell. This bar has no personality, no competeive pricing, and no reason to visit. Skip!

    A properly-poured Guinness, complete with shamrock. :)

    Cork & Kerry at the Park is a Bridgeport, Chicago personal haunt! Obviously & perfectly located directly North of US Cellular Field, Cork and Kerry is ideal for the baseball season - but when the Sox are not playing, it is a lovely neighborhood spot. Not too crowded, great drink selection, awesome bartenders & waitstaff. I might be a little biased, but Cork and Kerry at the Park is stationed in my near-to-my-heart Bridgeport; close enough to walk to & from my apartment. I enjoy the undoubtedly South-Side Chicago Bridgeport feel of the bar. Cool, kind staff all-around. Nice people from the neighborhood always in & out. I also cannot turn down a perfectly-poured Guinness adorned with talent and a shamrock. I must note that their menu is excellent. I enjoy a sandwich with that Guinness on occasion... ;)

    The Latino Burger

    When Cork at the Park first opened I would sing their name from the top of the smoke stacks. It happens to be walking distance from my house and quickly became my favorite bar in the neighborhood. Since then our relationship has considerably soured. Don't get me wrong, the space is fantastic. I love the openness that is hard to find in the neighborhood, the large windows, the ample seating that could easily accommodate a large group and the little front patio in the summer. I also can't say enough about the burger here. It's definitely one of the best burgers I ever had EVER! They are super juicy and flavorful and always cooked to the correct temperature. (I usually have an issue getting my medium rare burgers to come out any less than medium well anywhere else.) I like the latino which has pepper jack, chorizo and avocado piled on and finished with a pretzel bun. Seriously, you MUST try this burger. Those two things aside, I have lot of problems with Cork. The main issue I have is that they NEVER have ANY specials. I realize this is a bar near a baseball stadium but their competitor a block away manages to offer daily specials on drinks AND food. The beer here is ridiculously overpriced as it is and to not ever cut anyone a break is outrageous. Those of us that live in the neighborhood and give Cork and Kerry our money when there's not ridiculous crowds from the games take this very personally. We're the ones that keep this place running the other 284 days of the year. Show a little appreciation. The service is hit or miss. A couple of the guys there do a great job but a lot of the staff is misinformed, lazy and inattentive. They also run out of liquor a lot. Who's doing the inventory over there? On several occasions I've ordered a round of shots to find out half way through them pouring it that they're out of a key ingredient. Not everyone solely drinks Patron and Jameson guys. Some of us like a variety. And the Yelp offer? You can forget about it. I was told once by a bartender that Yelp is a scam and not to trust them. Um ... wha????? I still go to Cork quite a bit because of the convenience, the burger and the fact that I can pack a ton of my friends in there together comfortably. On an average night I definitely choose Turtles instead. Get it together, Cork.

    Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!

    We finally tried Pleasant House Pub after driving by and reading about it so many times. Another…read moreMichelin Bib Gourmand with only one dollar sign, so of course we had to see what the hype was about. We ordered the Steak & Ale Pie (crowned with mash and gravy) and the Chicken Balti Pie. Both were delicious, but I think crowning the steak pie was definitely the right call. The chicken balti actually reminded me of the Taiwanese curry pastries (咖喱角) I grew up eating, which was a fun surprise. Very flavorful, and although the pies look kind of small at first glance, they are surprisingly filling. We also ordered the pickled egg -- basically a hard boiled egg with vinegar flavor. Tasty, though probably the most "normal" item we had. One unexpected highlight was the staff. Apparently many of the servers are freelance musicians, and they'll break out a guitar and ukulele song if someone is celebrating a special occasion. Very chill, friendly neighborhood vibe overall.

Mildly sticky floors (But in the good dive bar sort of way), overpopulated wall decorations, and friendly looking bar people who've been curating the classic rock playlist since before George Bush ran for president.

No music was playing. However...within five minutes, I could already tell I was going to like it here. Steve, who I later found out was the owner, was very hospitable & friendly, turning on music, catering to my silly request to see the stop light colors change, etc. Eventually, more people started arriving at the bar, including live music. Everything fell into place. It became a really great experience, where people were all friendly and welcoming. Bathroom was clean. Bar was clean. ATM works perfectly (it's a cash only bar). I love good bars and "good vibes" (and hate the phrase good vibes but whatever it works here ) and if the shoe fits, hey, enjoy it while you can! Oh and disclaimer - nothing wrong with a hillbilly bar, I tend to meet the best people at these hole in the wall establishments who've, ya know, actually lived their lives and have rich stories to share If I'm back in Chicago, this'll be a place I'll try to visit again. If you're local, better check it out. I'm an expert, trust me
