No beer on tap! Guinness in nitro cans though. Food fried. Some more characters for the Yelp minimum? read more

Kind of a dump. If not for the cheap drinks, we'd never have stopped by. Place absolutely reeks of cigarettes and seems to rely on crowd of VERY loud regulars, which isn't a great atmosphere. Wish we had a better local bar that didn't feel so gross. read more

Terrific as usual and that was last in 2019. Cut off by the pandemic until this year's Franklin Park Railroad Dayz, our '400 Club' was once again treated royally! Good food, good service, good prices and just a block from the trains! Special thanks to Lexie, Matt and Jen for making our day! read more

Matt - compliments to the chef !!! And always a good time good luck at the penny bar is all you'll ever have guaranteed

Our son had a hockey game at Franklin Park Ice Arena so my husband and I stopped at this place to have a drink. One of the greatest places we have been to. Such great people serving and drinking!!! 5 out of 5 stars definitely!! Thank you O'Donnell's for making us feel so welcomed!!!! read more

Due to an error with some shipping info I needed to get to the UPS in Franklin Park. Hopped of the train to swing through and had time to kill. Old school pub with a nice woman behind the bar, perfect for a drink while waiting for the train. read more

So horrible they just opened today and the bartender was extremely rude. Waited for a drink for 20 minutes while the bartender served everyone else. I don't know what did to deserve this kind of treatment but I will never make a trip there ever again. read more

Fun divey Irish bar. We stopped in here last Saturday while doing a train crawl bachelor party. The bartender was awesome, she was very friendly and made sure we had plenty of cold beers to go around. Wish I could remember her name..but I was feeling pretty good by the time I left. read more

Dropped in for a beer before taking friends to the airport. It's nothing fancy. Everyone seemed to know everyone else. Waitress was friendly enough. There's a huge parking lot across the street so they must be a pretty big deal. read more

The best bartender fast no waiting for drink and special everyday open 10 am till 2am

Divey in all the worst ways. Came in here around 8:30 on a sat to find maybe 10 people in the place, all looked like the regulars glued to their chairs with a karaoke thing going on near the door. Came in as the reviews suggested some good irish pub food in the area I was at. Well I can say my food was ok, and I think that was the general view of all my friends. The downside was that our table of 5 took over an hour to get pub food in a bar where we were the only ones who ordered. Most of the time the server and cook were sitting at the corner of the bar drinking, ignoring us, and apparently not making our food. Worse yet was the ordering process. She took my order then left for 10 minutes. Came back took 2 more orders, left for 10 minutes, then came back a 3rd time to take the last 2 orders. I have no idea how she thought this was the right way to serve people. Funny part came when the food came out the same way. I got mine and after 5 minutes realized I should eat and not wait. When we gave up and went to the bar for drinks we found the bartender helpful and courteous. That's the last thing I can say about this place.... I would never step foot in here again. read more

I've never really been to many bars given the price of drinks. When a couple of beers cost as much as a six pack its cheaper to stay at home. I had went here with a friend quite some time ago and we came back a few times. The drinks were well priced and the food was really good. For anyone who's familiar with the area this was back when Nanna's was still next door. Anyway the other night a friend decided he wanted a burger after we were done drinking. Thing is we could have gone to any fast food place say like White Castle (Which you need to be drunk to eat at) Instead I told him about Mikes and how I hadn't been up there in a while. We called to see how late they were open and to see how long the food was served. Good thing we called too. When we got there we were told the kitchen was closed but we said we called and they fixed us up a coupe lf the best burgers we ever had. Better still was Saturday was 2 dollar burgers. With great food and prices we also had wonderful service. It was karioke night and my only complaint is that is really loud. We parked down on the corner of Edgington and Franklin and that was super loud all the way over there. Looking forward to going again soon and not waiting so many years in between visits. read more

Ew. Just ew. I am originally from the area so I have sporadically frequented this venue over several years. I get suckered in because it is a favorite of my local friends. Sure, the prices are low but that is where any positive review ends. When you sit at the bar you get a front row seat of the unwashed and undusted bar. The bathrooms are disgusting. Ladies, do not use them. Just don't. This is a corner bar so there is no reason they can not up their game. The main room is dirty and disorganized. This is not on a strip of college bars. If they cleaned up the place they could get more business. I have never eaten here and I am not sure I would recommend it. The place looks like it needs a really good scrub down. The service was ok. read more

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!!! Mind you this is a local dive bar with minimal resources and a limited menu but the atmosphere is worth the trip. Maybe I should just say the Bartender (Nick) is worth the trip. My wife and I started a mini-pub crawl through Franklin Park for the few hours we had a babysitter and this was, by far, the best bar in the area with Nick being a top 5 bartender in the Chicago area. Prices were good, atmosphere clean, and service superb. I drink a lot of beer and I will make it a point to stop here with my out of town beer drinking groupies! Reminds me of a nice Little place in Niles called Babes (Yacko's). read more

Best place ever... of course I'm biased - Mike O'Donnell is my dad. Family owned and operated, we sincerely appreciate our patrons. Thank you! read more

Walked in Saturday night about 11, they had karaoke going on. The place smelled like smoke, sat at the bar the waitress was having a melt down over something the guy behind the bar seemed to be the only one that knew how to work the register. Finally got a few beers, some guy a couple seats away starts talking to me about how he "don't like to start fights" I said ok and walked away. We go in the back room with a pool table everyone smoking. I would never think of eating there and would only drink out of the bottles. read more

Great Place to have a beer and burger. Fun lunch crowd and enertainment on the weekends at night.

me and my brother bought a groupon now for this place and went there sight unseen. We didn't know what to expect, but when we got there, we were taken aback at what a dive it was. there were ads on the ceiling tiles and it was kind of loud. I think we were both thinking of just turning around and walking out - but since we're not psychic and already bought our groupon, we took our seats and waited. The service was good and we both ordered burgers. Now here's the amazing part: IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS WE EVER HAD!!! We were talking about how good the burgers were for days. If you are at all a burger connoisseur such as myself, this must be tried. It's a bit far from where I live, but I'm going back tomorrow to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. read more

A good Irish bar in the North West burbs that always has hot Polish bartenders.

Yuck! Came here for St. Paddys days. Paid 21 dollars for four (not even full/watered down) shots of Jameson. Super disgusting and a giant let down. First time stoppin in too! Won't be returning! Gross. read more

Bought my Groupon for Mike O'Donnell's Irish Pub in Franklin Park and wasn't sure what to expect. Have to say what a nice surprise to find good food and great service. Their Reuben Sandwiches were the best we'd eaten in a long time! The cook Matt was closing up the kitchen as we got there but took care of us. Relaxed atmosphere and tons of TV, we sat back and watched the Bears game while Randy great Bar Tender made sure we never got thirsty! We Totally recommend Mike O'Donnell's it was a nice Bike Ride in for us and got good food and great service, so we'll be back! Fleet, Margie and Stevie read more

Great local bar! The staff is great, super friendly. Drinks and food are awesome. They always have good bands, karaoke (who doesn't love drunk karaoke?!), and a fun interactive juke box where you can find any song imaginable. I highly recommend Mike O'Donnell's if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a laid back good time:) read more

Wolfman turns into a wolf at midnight. RRRRRRRAAAAANNNNDDDYYYYYYY the bartender has a sweet beard. Ryan Mueller is a cock knocker. read more

My wife and I landed up here after missing our train to Morton Grove. We were a little hesitant about walking in here but we were so glad we did. It was 1:20 a.m. and the man behind the counter asked what we were having and told him we really needed a cab. He called us an uber and a patron was so nice to have bought us each a drink. They don't have caesars here but you can get an excellent bloody mary. The bartenders are great, and deserve a big thank you for getting a couple Canadians out of a jam. To the guy in the orange shirt thanks again for the drinks!!! If we lived there we'd become regulars too. read more

Dive bar. Smells like smoke when you walk in. Only 2 stars cause this place really has some potential. A+ location but out dated inside and feels like same people have been coming here since 1980... Bartender drinking and vaping behind the bar is a turn off. Really wish this place got new owners who could make this place great. read more

It's a fun place to come and hang out at after work for a beer or two. The food is great, and the drinks aren't expensive. However, I am not much for the ambiance of the place. I don't mind the "hole in the wall" bars, however, depending on the day of the week this place can be a big Debbie Downer. But, all in all, a must check out in the neighborhood that's for sure. read more

Great neighborhood pub. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Love karaoke Saturday nights with Wolfman! Gosia is my favorite bartender...very spunky! read more

Nice neighborhood place to meet up with your buddies for a shot and a beer you like karaoke go see Wolfman one of the best

Great spot - very friendly staff - great prices. Food was "ok" but then again I'm ordering deep fried bar food. Only knock was it wrecked like cigarette smoke. My clothes haven't smelled that bad since 1999. I will be back as it was fun. read more

Fun, neighborhood pub! Love Friday nights with live music. Bartenders, especially Jenn, are friendly and make great drinks. Looking forward to their corn beef, cabbage and bag pipers on St. Patricks Day. In the words of Toby Keith, "I love this bar." read more

Love it. Food is great and the people are cool. Drinks are reasonable and they have free parking across the street.

This place is a place to have a drink and a place to play pool had a great time with my friends here

Chill place, kinda has a "Cheers" vibe until the music starts. But Rachel is the coolest/nicest bartender I've ever had. I'd go back just to eat a grilled cheese and hang out with the staff. read more
