“Where to begin about this hidden gem of an Irish pub located on the southwest side of Chicago? Having recently returned from a trip to Ireland, Scotland in the UK, I am very familiar of what a proper Irish pub is like. I also need to say that I have been all over North America and most of Europe and have been to hundreds if not thousands of bars. The twisted shamrock knocks the ball out of the park on all accounts, atmosphere, service and cleanliness. The drinks are absolutely superb, from a excellent old fashioned to a properly poured black and tan. My wife had a Christmas cocktail which she said was just Divine. The bartender there, shorter guy with a beard is one of the finest bartenders I've ever encountered. His knowledge of sports and cocktails is second to none. A few ladies who are sitting at the end of the bar were saying how he is very easy on the eyes (Don't ask me I don't swing that way 🙂). I wish I would have gotten his name so I could give accolades or accolades are due. The crowd was mixed and lively. From old to Young, everyone was welcome and having a good time.“

“Cork & Kerry is a Southside iconic pub. It has a great atmosphere, beer & drink selection. The service is great. It's the type of place you will run into someone you know. They don't serve food there, but they will let you bring it in. There is a great party room for any occasion. There is plenty of room for at least 75 people comfortably. You can bring in your own decorations, food, and desserts. They will let you run an open bar tab or customize the occasion to your price range. Parking can be tricky depending on what day of the week you visit. There is only free street parking. You may have to drive to a side street unless it's not busy. Overall, Cork & Kerry is a great Southside Irish bar to visit.“
