    Our server was amazing, we had a large group of ~10 and our server consistently checked in on us and made sure we all had drinks and food as quickly as she was able to (it was a PACKED bar that night). I tried the Ruben roll, it was pretty tasty; I would definitely order it again. The cocktails weren't great but it wasn't a big deal as we decided to just stick to beer after that. This is a fun spot for a quick drink and apps.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad & cosmopolitan
    Rachelle Rare P.

    Worst Cosmo ever but it's an Irish pub I should've known better lol. The chicken bacon salad surely made up for it! It was delicious. My husband and I were trying to kill time before our flight. This place is located directly by the Sheraton so we decided to try it. We were excited to see tater kegs in the menu as those are a fave of ours. They were delicious! Our server was very attentive. It was a busy Sunday afternoon but she made sure we were taken care of. We ended up taking the salad and kegs to go and ate them on the plane. So yummy!

    A fun and chill place to hang out with friends. It's usually open till 1:30 am. They also give free popcorn, which is cool. We didn't eat here, but I grabbed a beer with my friends. The service was quick and good too.

    Stopped into Lizzie McNeill's and was disappointed to find they didn't have any draught beers available -- definitely a letdown for an Irish pub. We ended up with bottled beers and wine instead. The wine itself (a Syrah) was actually pretty decent, but it was served in a plastic cup, which took away from the experience. Overall, not a terrible stop, but definitely not what I was hoping for.

    Cozy gem in the heart of Chicago, perfectly located right across from the Marriott and along the Chicago River. If you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere with great food, drinks, and a touch of Irish charm, this is the spot! The setting is warm, with a welcoming interior and a stunning riverside patio that's perfect for enjoying a pint with a view. Whether you're visiting during a summer evening or braving the chill for a winter Guinness, the ambiance never disappoints. The food is classic pub fare with an Irish twist. From their hearty shepherd's pie to crispy fish and chips, everything hits the spot. They also have a solid selection of beers, whiskeys, and cocktails to pair with your meal. Service is on point as well. It's the perfect spot for a casual meal, happy hour with friends, or even just a quick drink while taking in the sights of the city. I'll definitely be back next time

    Situation right next to the Sheraton Grand, just take the escalators all the way and walk towards the Burger place and exit the double doors towards the river. Great service, serval servers from Ireland this summer. Awesome patio section next to the river, for the perfect non-muggy summer nights. Patio closes at midnight. Happy hour- Mon-Thur from 3-6pm!

    Shepherd's Pie
    David R.

    Relaxed Irish pub along Chicago River. Outside seating is available. I enjoyed the Shepherds Pie.

    We walked over from The Sheraton Grand since the hotel has limited food options. We waited only about 10 minutes on a Friday night and the wait staff was super friendly. Huge selection of beers and cocktails. We stayed with the Guinness BBQ wings which were crisp and moist and very tasty. Also tried the Chicken and Chips which was a huge amount of chicken fingers and fries. Had buffalo sauce on the side which they needed as the breading did not have much flavor. Other people in my party had burgers which they said were very good. This place is a great Irish bar located along the Chicago River. I want to come back in the summer as they offer lots of seating along the river with great views of the city.

    The double Chicago Dog Basket
    Michelle M.

    Tried out this pub on our most recent Chicago trip in Sept 2024. My husband wanted to see the centennial fountain shoot over the Chicago river since it's been off for 3 years, so we decided to stop for food and a place to watch. We were sat quickly and were the only ones there as it was a Monday around 11 am, but I'm sure it gets busier on weekends since it's on the river walk. We ordered the double dog basket, which was a great deal. $15 for 2 yummy Chicago dogs and fries! Paired with a cold beer, it was the quintessential Chicago summer meal. We sat on the outside patio but they have an inside restaurant across the street.

    Food, service, and ambiance was amazing! Visited from San Antonio, Tx. The appetizers were very tasty. The beer was ice cold. The place was packed and still hot great service.

    Cubs Convention 2024! Stopped in again after we got our passes. We had chicken fingers and fries and they were delicious. The buffalo sauce has a smokey flavor which was delicious. Love this place. Go Cubs Go
