- Fantastic neighborhood Irish pub. Great outdoor patio. Food is nothing spectacular, but I'll forever frequent this place since it's so close to my home. Oh and they pour a perfect Guinness.
KateApril 1, 2012Love this Old Town spot! The booth in the front window is an awesome spot to hang out if you're with a small group, but you can't beat the patio in nice weather

- Genevieve BorichFebruary 17, 2013One of only two Iowa State University pubs in CHItown. By far my fav. Foods great too!!!! Plus Magners on tap. Can't go wrong!
Jonathan FerreraSeptember 8, 2014A great pub with delicious food. Fun place to hang with friends at. Our server was very friendly, though she accidentally gave me the wrong check at first.
AndreaFebruary 18, 2018One of my favs around the city! A must for good food and good drinks with the best service!
CarolOctober 19, 2014The fish taco appetizers were surprisingly great! The mini burgers were just okay. And definitely skip the sweet potato tater tots, they have zero flavor.
Todd KunaMay 18, 2018A perfect Irish pub for a pint in Old Town. Perhaps after a comedy show at Second City
Tripp CookSeptember 3, 2018This wee Irish pub has the *best* chicken curry I’ve had outside of London.
The only bar that you can keep coming as a regular & they always try to fck you over with your drink order by over charging you & adding other peoples drinks to your tab.
Ryan NelsonJune 12, 2011Even though it's busy in festival season the service has been great including management and it's a beautiful setup.
Jen HartOctober 9, 2011One of two Iowa State bars in Chicago! Great place to come watch a game and great game day specials!
The New Mexico burger is out of this world good. Can't recommend it highly enough!

The bison burger with a fried egg is so amazing! As is the Mac n cheese with peas.
