The staff was attentive and accommodated our every wish and went out of their way to make us happy. The food was delicious; we ordered baked chicken, Italian beef, potatoes, mac n cheese, green beans and salad. The price was more than fair and the portions were incredibly generous, loads of guests even left with containers of food for the next day. One of our guests commented that the room was the perfect mix of a sports bar and nice restaurant. I would highly recommended them for any special event.

Lawlor's is one of the many such places around here if it wasn't already obvious. A little farther away from the Beverly bars and hangouts. The menu is basic and there's pretty good prices. Basically we walked over here after hitting a few other of the area bars. It's actually in a new location. The older one used to be located closer to 111th and Pulaski. It was a true dive. This one though is a lot more modern looking. Has the same drinks but with food that's also edible. There's still a charm to it though. It's about $5 to get Jameson. There's also plenty on tap. It's about $7 for the Pretzel Bites. Kind of basic with a side of cheese sauce. I used mustard. The rest of the menu has meaty items like pork chops and things like that. Good place to come hang a bit. It's in a new location about a mile away from the old one. This is worth checking out getting away from the more popular places on Western.

Also kind of dusty and musty inside. The parking lot also sucks. Basic dive bar. It's got what one would expect. There's beers, greasy meaty food, and old regulars. Gets busier on the weekends with more fun. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail, such as whiskey. Food is mostly greasy and meaty. It's about $10 for things like burgers and other sandwiches. Basically it's beef or fried chicken. There's also wings. Among the sides are fries. The kitchen often isn't even open to be honest. Even have to be careful pulling into here because it's a tight fit. It's got a cramped parking lot. This is located on Pulaski close to the Jewel-Osco and other things.

They have a casual Irish pub kind of theme. A little interesting history about it. It's named after a local bar owner and politician. There was a guy called Michael "Hinky Dink" McKenna who would trade drinks for votes. He was an alderperson in the area. Of course that was a great strategy. It's about $5 to get basic cocktails. The ones we got the last time were pretty watery to be honest. Has no food. They let you bring in things like pizza. Have to make an update about this business. It's apparently closed. The city building commissioner ordered it closed months ago for violations like no fire extinguisher and exposed wires, and now there's a real estate sign on the window, so it sucks.

The brunch menu is so good and definitely worth going for, but they also have great dinner options, which makes it a place you can come back to anytime. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and it shows in both the quality and flavor. The service was just as good. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcomed the entire time. It never felt rushed, and they were always around when we needed anything. The ambiance is one of my favorite parts. It has that cozy Irish pub feel but still feels lively and fun, whether you are there for brunch or dinner. It is the kind of place you can sit, relax, and really enjoy your time. Overall, just such a great spot with amazing food, great service, and a really good atmosphere. Definitely a place I would recommend and will be going back to.

I was pleasantly surprised with the food and atmosphere. Afternoon waitstaff and bartenders was a much better experience than midday fyi. Absolutely recommend the saganaki, hot and mild Buffalo wings, and (not pictured) Chicago Fire Pizza. The Gumball Head on special was definitely a plus as well! The Kids also loved the cheese pizza, burger, and pretzel bites. We also enjoyed playing bags and pool while we waited for food. Only negative was the $3 soft drinks are in very small cups of mostly ice and refills are $1 each which the server never once mentioned. Very tacky to even charge this in the first place and especially not without mentioning it. You can do better.

We went here for a family gathering. They had 3 tables reserved for approximately 30 people. We…read morewalked in and they showed us to the table. The place was pretty busy and people were having a good time. The dinner was setup for family style which started off with bread and soup, salad, mashed potatoes, veggies then the main courses. We weren't sure if our son who has allergies was able to eat the food so we asked the server. The soup, bread was a no. The salad yes, but not the dressing. They did give him vinegar and oil. The chicken and beef we weren't sure so we ordered him a steak and mushrooms with a baked potato. The server was very helpful with helping us with our questions. When the food started coming out, a new server gave him the soup and the server that helped us warned us that he couldn't have it and I truly appreciated that. They come out with soup in a metal bucket and they ladle the soup into our bowls. The soup was ok but it was cold and the pasta noodles were mushy. The salad was good and the ranch was homemade and was tasty, I wish it was a little more thicker. The mashed potatoes were just ok and were cold as well. The veggies were not good, cold and could use some seasoning. The bread was the star for me. It was nice and crisp on the outside and has melted butter. I wanted to eat it all but I'm trying to cut down on carbs. The pasta had sausage and chunks of the sausage went into the sauce, the chicken and London broils looked good. Overall, the service was good. The bread and salad was good. The soup could have been better is hot and firmer pasta. Mashed potatoes had potential but it was just ok, pass on the veggies. And the meat appeared like it was good. My son's steak was cooked as desired and said it was good but the sautéed mushrooms were missing and we didn't really bother to ask for them. Being with family was great and that's what mattered at the end of the day. But if we were ever to come back, family style is an easy pass.
