This establishment is wonderful. They accommodated our party of 5, even with little to no notice. Edward, you're a star! Jay was great, thank you Sir, for your forbearance, your service was great. Food was delicious!! My first time with the pot pie and oh my! read more

I think Lady Gregory's should win some kind of prize for providing a decent lunch menu within the brunch menu. Don't make me eat eggs if it's 1pm and I've been up for seven hours. Great cocktails and a fabulously stocked bar. Prices are moderate (high, if you're still hanging on to 2023 prices). Our group ranged from young children to seniors. We all enjoyed our meals. Fish and chips were a bit underseasoned but well fried. The various burgers were appreciated by both children and adults. Solid salad options and an impressive stack of blueberry pancakes. If you have a bunch of people with different tastes, Lady Gregory's is a surprisingly strong option. Service was outstanding. Our primary server was in complete concert with other staff. It was relatively busy on a Sunday afternoon, and she was still one step ahead of our big, disorganized and mildly chaotic group. read more

Stopped in for a bite and beer - both were great. Also enjoyed a Magners cider, which I rarely find in the US. They also pour a proper Guinness. I went all in on the Irish pub experience and got the fish & chips. Fish was great and the chips were good but seemed like the could have been fresher. Good crowd and wait staff. Decor was on point too. I'd definitely go back. read more

Lovely experience! Fantastic and attentive service. Really cool vibes. The space is large, bright, and open. Plenty of TVs with various games playing. Great place to watch the World Cup. I love the high ceilings, decor, and lighting. Comfy chairs too. Indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent food and beverages! The mango lemonade was very refreshing. I loved the Buddha Bowl! Wow!! I added tofu to mine and it was very tasty, The peanut sauce was so good! I slurped all the leftover sauce up. The curry fries were very flavorful too. I would definitely come back here. read more

The French onion soupppp!! So good and it has really good authentic Ireland feels, the bar is the coziest spot.

Great late lunch ambiance and terrific nourishing food for my wife, me, and 12 year old son. Collectively we had sorrentina salad, soup, and salmon. read more

A nice Irish restaurant in the area. We had a big group and dined in the back room. We had to flag down service a couple of times as it was a busy night. Other than that everything was quick. I liked my tequila cocktail, and all the delicious food we got. The kalbi hot wings were huge but nothing authentic in terms of flavor profile and not spicy - but tasty nonetheless. The fish and chips were also a big portion and delicious and crisp. We also got a side ceasar and a side of Mac and cheese. Both were so tasty too. It was a great meal and spot to grab some food with friends in the area. read more

Between the tasty Irish inspired menu with dietary friendly options, lively atmosphere, and beautiful decor, Lady Gregory's is an inclusive neighborhood institution and guaranteed good time! We stopped by for Sunday brunch and it was packed- I would recommend making a reservation during prime time. The staff were very friendly and did not rush our group. For appetizers, we split the cheddar artichoke dip and deviled eggs. Both were flavorful and satisfying. For the main event, I opted for the avocado toast with egg whites alongside Irish grits, which were both super filling and delicious! The grits especially were rich, loaded with cheese, and perfect on a cold day. This is a must order. I loved the buttery bread used for the avocado toast and the generous amount of toppings. I felt that the prices were pretty reasonable given the large portions as well. My only wishlist item is that there were more options for coffee, which was only available as a standard drip. I will absolutely be back soon and look forward to trying more of the delicious looking menu! read more

While in the neighborhood we were looking for a late lunch and came across Lady Gregory's. We were greeted upon entering and seated. Our server took our drink order quickly. Our group Deviled Eggs, French Onion Soup. Soup of the Day, Shepherd's Pie and Reuben Sandwich. All comfort foods. The food was good and flavorful, but it took awhile for it to come out. Our server did check in a few times and informed us when it would come out. For an Irish experience it was a solid option. read more

Great food, amazing service and such a beautiful neighborhood establishment. This is the kind of place you want to bring friends, hang out at the bar on a Friday night, and come for a weekend comfort meal. Always have a wonderful experience. Well worth the reasonable prices. read more

Arunsi and the other bartenders were so wonderful and helpful with my food allergies and I had a delicious meal and drinks! Thanks for being so accommodating! read more

Lady Gregory's brings the vibes of an Irish pub to Andersonville. They've got a lot of space and a beautiful bar in the center of the restaurant. My girlfriend has been wanting to come here ever since she heard they have gluten-free fish and chips. They were fantastic and cooked perfectly. Sometimes you have to worry about soggy fish, but these were crisp and flaky. They were also served on top of delicious French fries. We also ordered the gluten-free wings. They were good not great but it was more of a personal preference as I don't really like meatier drumsticks. Overall, we had a great time dining at Lady Gregory's. Also, bonus points for having a dedicated gluten-free fryer for people with a gluten-allergy or celiac. read more

Ambiance is really nice, albeit a bit dark. Request a table near a window. Service was attentive and responsive, thank you! My daughter ordered the Classic Burger and I had the Gastro Burger. We both agreed that they were just okay, nothing special. I'll probably order something different the next time. BUT...if you like desserts, then do yourself a huge favor and order the Sticky Toffee Pudding with an Irish Coffee. Wow! You're welcome. read more

Lady Gregory's - Sticky Toffee Pudding - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped by with a friend since we were walking by. Decor was busy, but in a fun, eclectic way. I didn't catch the name of our server, but he could use a refresher on treating all of his customers the same. He clearly was friends with the people at the table next to us and spent most of his time chatting with them. It took forever for us to get water, order, and to get our food, boxes, and check. The food, sadly, wasn't worth all that hassle. I got the Blackened Shrimp (cold, old, and flavorless) and the Creamy Chicken & Gnocchi Soup (decent, but nothing amazing). My friend got their Ultimate Grilled Cheese with Bacon Sammich and it was definitely the best food of the night. This is the only thing I would recommend from here. Would've been a 3 if not for the issues with our server. read more

amazing atmosphere! amazing food! awesome service! my favorite restaurant in chicago. :) i know whoever i take here will absolutely love it. it is my go to for any special outing with family. there are so many delicious options but the rosemary chicken has to be in my top five meals of all time!! i'm not usually one to order chicken at a restaurant, but after having a bite of my girlfriends, i will never order anything else. the chicken is so tender and the flavor profile is off the charts!! the deserts and appetizers are delicious as well! you simply can't go wrong here. they also decorate for christmas read more

Lady Gregory's - Roasted Rosemary Chicken - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

THE most packed place in Andersonville during the holidays, reservations recommended, wait without? not terrible, approximately 30 minutes. Staff vibe is so very sweet, and the folks bringing out the food are busting their humps with feats of strength, full trays of meals one handed and delivered table side. Interior and decor really depends upon where you are seated. It's cozy, and festive and an obvious staple in the hood. A shout out to Kora for taking such good care of us. The chicken pot pie was visually impressive and very yummy; and they nailed the sticky toffee pudding. read more

Really loved this place- Came here on a Sunday night when we just wanted a cozy atmosphere and pub food. This place definitely delivers, and they have really great decorations for all of the holiday. I definitely want to come back around Christmas time! I got the blackened chicken club with sweet potato fries. They served the sweet potato fries with maple syrup, which I thought was really fun. The sandwich was really good! My parents got the burger and the gluten-free fish and chips. The fish and chips were excellent and I would definitely order those the next time I go here! Service was great (I tried a mocktail and didn't like it at all, but she took it off the bill, which was really nice) and overall, I loved this place! read more

Lady Gregory's - Blackened Chicken Club Sweet Potato Fries side Tossed Saladsalad - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tibet been here 4 times now with semi mixed experiences. The space is beautiful and offers lots of seating options . The space seems to cater to groups , however , the music is so loud that you can't hear anyone in a group talking. Even the staff trying to clear table kept yelling "sorry I can't hear you either the music!" The sound makes it se like you're in club but you went there to catch up w friends. Good is hit or miss . French onion soup tasted well but was 3/4 full w onions and not leaving much soup . Chopped salad needs to be served in a large bowl , allowing you to move salad around . Huge heap in smallish bowl . Not much depth or flavor, C. Burgers and fries were a hit and I should have ordered that They could use a few old school beers like milker light / bud light . Every large group has at least one person not into the craft scene read more

Cannot recommend Lady Gregory's enough! One of my favorite neighborhood spots for sure and an absolutely excellent choice for a cozy night, especially in the winter. Hospitality is warm and inviting from the moment you walk in, even at busy times. I had a wonderful evening with a friend sat at the bar and given spot-on recommendations for drinks and delicious food. The bar is stocked exceptionally, well with a wide variety of spirits, beers, and wines as well as a seasonally curated cocktail menu! I had the french onion soup and a side caesar - easily one of the best french onion soups in Chicago. My friend had the chicken pot pie and it was heavenly! The two of us enjoyed a few glasses of the Cousino-Macul Cabernet Sauvingon, a beautifully medium bodied Chilean red with a 2017 vintage making for a fruity and warm wine for the winter. We just so happened to be there at the perfect holiday moment, surrounded by twinkling lights, golden ornaments, and garland galore; Ol' St. Nick himself even made an appearance and made the rounds to the joy of all. read more

Jamie W and I visited Andersonville one evening because we heard it was Chicago's primary LGBTQ neighborhood, that is, if you're not a post-pubescent Boystown club hopper. We assumed the area skewed older, which was fine by us since we skew in that direction ourselves. Somewhere between the lushly lesbian Nobody's Darling (review: https://yelp.to/ua8AJVTI8S) and the gamefully gay Meeting House Tavern (review: https://yelp.to/3-VnJ1hz3w), we made a pitstop here. Unlike the other two bars, this place felt rather staid. It's a very traditional Irish gastropub with servers in matching polo shirts. It was a perfectly decent bar, just not quite the vibe we were looking for that evening if you know what I mean. Quite crowded with Cubs fans watching the flatscreens, we still stuck around at their secondary bar sipping $13 Espresso Martinis (photo: https://yelp.to/UQlri-oXNl) and even nibbling on a $9 order of Deviled Eggs (photo: https://yelp.to/3oEfxjyxM4). It was all good, but we moved on quickly to seize the big gay night. COCKTAILS / FOOD - 3.5 stars...just fine, no complaints AMBIANCE - 3 stars...a very straight, upright bar SERVICE - 3 stars...minimal contact TOTAL - 3 stars...rather generic experience all things considered RELATED - Exploring Chicago?

My wife asked me where I wanted to celebrate my birthday. I've always had extremely positive experiences at an Andersonville favorite, Lady Gregory's. Sunday was not one of those days. The weather was brisk with a negative wind chill. We arrived around 1:30 pm after walking several blocks. The hostess greeted us with a smile and showed us several tables before choosing one by the front windows off the street. Our server, Javier, came to our table and pulled up a seat and leaned in to hear and take our orders. Since it was chilly outside I opted for a hot drink, Irish Coffee. My wife ordered a glass of LOS DOS D.O. CAVA, Spain. The Irish coffee arrived at our table tepid. Not an auspicious start to our meal. I ordered the Irish coffee because we just came in from the cold. A hot drink was what I needed to warm my chilled bones. I was able to get Javier's attention and I asked him to please warm up my drink. I assumed since it was a coffee drink Javier would make a fresh pot of coffee and redo my drink to heat it up. He did not. When he returned several minutes later the glass was slightly warmer, but the coffee was still cold. Very disappointing. We ordered an appetizer and soups to start our meal. We chose DEVILED EGGS made with Thai chili oil and garlic chips. Outstanding! This is always a favorite of ours. My wife ordered a bowl of Cavalier Nero. It's made with a lite chicken broth, mixed vegetables, and lightly seasoned. My wife enjoyed this soup special and was pleased when it came to the table steaming. I ordered the French onion soup. Wow! This soup was a cold, soggy mess. I've had this soup here in the past. Today it was flavorless, cold, and the broth and onions were soggy. Very disappointing. For our entrees my wife ordered the classic burger with bacon. The classic burger was topped with lettuce, pickle, tomato, ketchup, and caramelized onion. The burger was cooked medium rare and came with fries. The caramelized onions were a cold glob on top of the burger. Next time she will ask to substitute raw onions in lieu of caramelized onions. The French fries did not taste fresh. The fries tasted stale and had probably been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Which is ironic because they were cold. I ordered my standby favorite, chicken pot pie. The chicken pot pie was prepared with roast chicken, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, peas, chicken cream gravy, and a pastry crust. Again, my entree was not hot. Extremely disappointing. The pot pie was tepid and soggy. For dessert we ordered another round of drinks and cobbler with an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream. I ordered an Old Fashioned made with bourbon, demerara, and bitters. It was better than the Irish coffee. My wife ordered a MAPLEWOOD SON OF JUICE a Juicy India Pale Ale made locally and canned in Chicago. The cobbler lacked flavor and was colder than the ice cream that it was served with. The interior of the dessert should have been piping hot, but was cold. The crust had a slight butter flavor but somehow didn't add anything to the apples, or vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream was served cold and had a pleasant vanilla flavor to it. The only thing on the menu served correctly today was the two scoops of vanilla ice cream. My wife mentioned to the server it was my birthday. He stated "you should have told me earlier". Overall, I cannot recommend Lady Gregory's. In the past my experiences have always been positive. Today my experience was negative and highly disappointing. Also, a 2.90% universal service charge was added to our bill. Yes it is stated at the top of the menu; however, there is no indication what the charge is regarding. Is it a charge for using a credit card, or is there another purpose for this charge? The bill, including a 20% tip and 2.9% universal service charge came to an astounding 180. I understand there is a premium price to dining out. I get that I chose to dine here. However, the unwritten contract between the restaurant and customer is they provide a high quality of food and service and in exchange I pay for that quality. The quality and service were not present when I dined at Lady Gregory's today. What a shame! To quote Tony Robbin's, "Customers are willing to pay a little more for the assurance of quality and reliability". Today Lady Gregory's did not live up to the "assurance of quality and reliability" regarding our dining experience. read more

Lady Gregory's - Irish Coffee and LOS DOS D.O. CAVA Spain NV - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A fantastical homey classic bar serving comforting fare. Off Andersonville's main strip. I was recommended to stop by here for the burgers and wasn't disappointed in the trip. The bar has that vintage British library vibe and I want to just stay and read a murder mystery. Chicken pot pie: Delish and warming as autumn ends and we start winter proper. Instead of a pie crust, puff pastry is used. I love this trend since it provides a lighter crunchier topping. The filling has the classic flavor and hits the spot. Gastro Burger Saucy, crunchy, meaty, juicy, which description doesn't capture this burger? An elevated take on a classic. The only complaint is that it will get soggy when it's cold, that just means you need to finish it. The staff was charming and prompt on the refills and checking on us. Overall a great date space. read more

Lady Gregory's Irish Pub is located in Uptown Chicago. We were visiting just before St Patrick's Day ... because IYKYK ... there is not a single spot you can find anywhere on the actual holiday weekend! We had a great experience! Our server was amazing. She recommended to us very delicious drinks and food for dinner. My cocktail "The Golden Sage" was so good! Very flavorful! My daughter ordered the "Irish Hot Toddy" because it was pretty cold on that evening, and she felt drinking something warm. She also liked her drink, too. We both ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage special for St Patrick's Day, and OMG ... it was delicious! The corned beef was tender and tasty, but not salty like in many other establishments. Dinner was delicious and satisfying! But who wouldn't want dessert? We decided to share the "First Slice Pie" Key Lime Pie ... AND, it was the best key lime pie I have ever had! It was amazing! read more

The atmosphere sometimes trumps the food, but if you're looking for solid drinks and a killer burger come here! Rueben was the perfect portion and was not the overloaded New York style deli where it's just a hunk of meat. Pot pie was tasty but had too many veggies and not enough meat. Salad had weak dressing. Pro tip, load the menu up while you are outside there is no cell service inside and they make you do the QR code dance with the menu and nothing loads. read more

I can't believe this place has less than 4 ** it's a five. Food especially the crispy halibut is outstanding ,,,,in presentation as well taste. So fresh! So I heard it's a summer special. Definitely coming back for this. One of my friends has recommended this and I planned on inviting work group to this Place. Both the inside and the outside us so beautiful /////night outside was epic. Ambience for the dogs was perfect. The wait staff brought out dog's water bowls ! Thank you for w wonderful night. read more

Spent Saturday in Andersonville shopping and stopped into Lady Gregory's for a late lunch. The last time I was in was about seven years ago when I moved to the city and I remember liking it them and still liking it now. It's kinda the ideal Irish Pub to stop into while enjoying the Clark strip. To start, I wanted a cocktail so I ordered The Golden Sage and I could have ordered like 3 of these (I didn't). This cocktail has lychee, pineapple, lime, and sage with Tito's, super refreshing, light, and smooth. For food, I got the Gastro Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. Y'all, this burger kills! It comes with BRIE (which if you know me, I live for a sandwich with brie on it), roasted tomatoes, pickled red onion, fried shallots, and herb mayo. It was so melty and juicy and I tore it up. The sweet potato fries were crispy and came with a maple dip. Peak bar food. The staff are super nice, and because the pub is HUGE, despite the lunch/early dinner rush, we were able to be seated immediately, and our server was quick enough, given the business. read more

Had such highs hopes for this place! Went for lunch because of the dedicated gluten friendly menu, which is a plus. The food sounded really good, but did not hold up. Burger was eh. Fries arrived cold. Requested sauce did not come. Their water is by request only, which is disclosed, so I have no issue with. Except that we had to request it multiple times and it took about a half hour to get one. And that tend unfortunately continued, which is why it only gets two stars even though the atmosphere was nice, drinks were good, and they did have solid gluten free options. The service tipped it all over the edge -- terribly slow, and we were not there during a busy time. By the end, it was just us and a couple of tables left in the place, but we still had to extend our parking twice just trying to get and pay the check. When the waitress did not her 20% tip at the end (which I can't believe possibly could have been expected by that point, and she was not stiffed by any means), she threw the receipt on the table and marched off without a word. read more

Tasty, good service, and fantastic options for those of us with gluten allergies or celiac! I've only had good experiences here and like them much more than some other places in the neighborhood with higher yelp ratings. read more

The drinks, food and service were all great. We sat outside. The sidewalk, patio seating is nice. We were visiting from out of town and local family who'd been here before directed us on what to order. I had the chopped salad with no protein. It was very good and very filling. My boyfriend's brother also ordered the salad. His wife had the Buddha bowl and I tried some of the veggies. They were cooked well but a little bland. My boyfriend had the Salmon and he enjoyed it. The star of the night was the key lime pie! It was incredible. It's from a local pie cafe called First Slice. Overall we had a good time. The drinks were great too. I would return. read more

Had a great brunch at Lady Gregory's! Few and far between are the places that serve a gluten free fish & chips, and this was genuinely excellent. Super crisp outside, flaky white fish, and a tartar sauce that was equally as good on the fries. My fiancé got a blackened chicken sandwich which he enjoyed. The ambience is elevated Irish pub, with dark wood and old school art but modern furnishings. The gluten free menu is extensive and there's a program that lets you filter the menu for other dietary restrictions. Overall, great experience and worth a visit! read more

Lady Gregory's - Gluten Gluten-Free Fish and Chips - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Always a good time when we visit Andersonville! Been here for brunch and lunch and both have been great.

I recently visited Lady Gregory's with a friend and my 16 month old daughter. Our waitress was very kind and food good. During our time at the table, my daughter at ate, read a book, and colored. As we were finishing up she started getting fussy. Every parent can relate - you go into distraction mode - trying books, toys, a lap around the restaurant. I had brought a tape measure toy for kids. One that she could wind up and unravel. It was entertaining her through my meal (finally able to eat myself) and relief flooded over me. Just as I was trying to take one more bite, a manager came up and rudely said the winding was making too much noise and interrupting the music. The is a loud restaurant - people are laughing, shouting, chatting, dishes clanging. And she chose to single out a child. Within one minute, we left the restaurant my plate unfinished and stomach empty. Looking back, it makes me so sad as I was first embarrassed. I didn't want to bother anyone, and I thought anything to distract her from crying the better. (You would think crying would be more disturbing to their guests). I asked the manager if anyone had complained and she said no- it was her thought it was disruptive. But manager was wrong. Children are allowed to be seen, heard, and celebrated. She made it clear my family, or children, are not welcome at Lady Gregory's, so we will never be returning. Such a disappointing experience and I do not recommend this restaurant to young parents and young families. read more

Happened by Lady Gregory's when I was out walking at dinner time, looking for something to eat. I have a hard time passing up an Irish pub and if I'm at an Irish pub, I'm ordering fish and chips. It was so good! Seriously, one of the best fish and chips I've eaten. Flakey fish (no mush!), crispy batter, good portion size. I enjoyed every bit. Also really enjoyed the Killarney Old Fashioned cocktail with Irish whiskey and a chocolate liqueur from Maplewood, a Chicago distillery. The chocolate was subtle and such a nice touch. I would order that again in a heartbeat. The only thing that would have made my experience better would have been a jam session in progress. read more

I've actually never ever shared a review, esp one that isn't positive- but I kind of feel like I have to. I had 2 Negronis and no food, and the total was 45 dollars with tax but not tip. it really surprised me. I'm not sure if it's a new thing for lady Gregory's (which is not a fancy cocktail bar) to charge this much, but I decided to go down the street to an actual fancy cocktail bar, will's, to compare prices. at lady greg's I paid 22.5, per cocktail, including tax and not tip. At will's- a much higher quality cocktail was 16, which is more what I was expecting from lady Greg's and actually think will's could charge more like 18. read more

Had dinner at Lady Gregory's and found it as a nice Irish restaurant in the Andersonville neighborhood. Got to try out a couple of appetizers here with the Irish hush puppies and galbi wings. Both were superb and delicious. Had the gastro burger for the main meal and it was just alright. Was hoping it would be a bit better. Service was prompt and food came out fast and hot. They do have TVs to watch some sporting events and a bar to sit as well. They also have some nice private event rooms. Heard there fish and chips and French onion soups are there best sellers, so maybe I should try that next time. read more
