15 Best Irish Pubs near Brookfield

“I’m glad that I listened to the reviews! Such a warm, friendly environment! Very attentive service. The place was packed and there were two servers but they were great with everything! Great Irish food, and a wonderful atmosphere! We were missing Ireland, so we came here & tried a little bit of the fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and cornbeef & cabbage bites. A great place to go! “

“I'm not sure what happened but all the tables in the back room where we were, had to ask several times for service, drinks, silverware and food took for ever to get to us!Additional comment, the owner reached out to me and ask to come in and speak with him. Since I live over an hour away, I asked my son, who lives in the town and was with me, I asked him to speak on my behalf. The owner listened to my son and let him know he was thankful for the info. He gifted us a gift card and I am very grateful for him taking my experience to heart. Il be visiting the restaurant again because the food was great and the owner took the time to care about us.“

“This was my first time at Clancy's on 95th. It was clean and comfortable. The ladies behind the counter were delightful and easy going. A friend invited me to join her and a handful of her friends, to watch Billy Gray perform (he was fabulous with his deep voice. I listen to country music every once and awhile, but Billy had me moving my feet and tapping the table top to the music.)and we had a wonderful time. The beers were reasonably priced ($4 or $16 for a bucket of five. They give you wooden tokens to collect a cold beer when you are ready or the bucket if you prefer. My friend ordered a ham and cheese sandwich that was delicious and came with fries or in-house made potato chips. I would definitely go back.“

“The James Joyce is a local treasure. It’s the epitome of an Irish pub; friendly, good service, and a social gathering place. The owners have made it this way, and they will come by to meet you and welcome you. They have events like the upcoming “1/2 way to St Patrick’s Day”, and it’s absolutely worth coming by for a pint.

“this was the first time we ever visited the Irish American Heritage Center and it was for a baby shower. It is a pretty nice place to have a baby shower because they have rooms that are catered and perfect to host. what I heard they also utilize some of the rooms for teaching Irish dance classes. There are four floors of rooms to be utilized. There are also ample parking on both sides of the building. It is conveniently located next to that I 94 Expressway What's very interesting about this place as they also have a bar like restaurant on the first floor.“

“The team working was great, friendly, attentive and that alone provided a fantastic atmosphere. We arrived with a group of 14 and they made sure we (and everyone) were all taken care of throughout the evening. Good drink specials, good music all in the heart of a Chicago neighborhood sounds like a winner to me. We will be returning, and if you’re ever in the neighborhood you should stop by. Thanks Six Penny Team. Steve O Rodriguez on behalf of LBSC.“

“Went there for a first date last night and had an amazing time! If you're looking for a lively, fun spot, this is definitely the place to go. Make sure to see Amber behind the bar she's an absolute rockstar and helped make our night so enjoyable.“

“I nearly missed reviewing this place... back in April I had just arrived from a horribly long overseas flight. My friends were kind enough to take me to this pub for some dinner and we were pleased at our food and dining experience. When you walk in you are met with traditional Irish decor, and a lovely fireplace in the dining area. Very welcoming and clean. I liked it immediately. Heather H. waited on us and was very friendly and helpful with making some dinner suggestions. It is a very cute interior and warm environment. My friends got Guiness of course and I was pleased to see they had a surprisingly good selection of white wine, so I opted for a glass of the Joel Gott sauvignon blanc ($9.25). I was starving and got the Wild Alaskan blackened salmon ($19.95) MM MMM with a side Salad and OH YES house made blue cheese dressing to die for. Very generous portion of fish, perfectly cooked.My friends shared a basket of crinkle cut fries ($5), curry sauce ($3.50) and Irish sausage ($6), plus Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls ($7.95). The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, and the food is really good. The dinner menu has a very impressive selection, a little bit of everything.“

“On this night, we visited our local Iowa Hawkeye bar, Gracie O’Malley’s to enjoy some NCAA women’s basketball amazing number 22 Kaitlyn Clark.This bar is pretty big and well appointed, with lots of TVs for viewing and an outdoor seating area when the weather permits.They have grace solution of beers in full bar with some delightful proprietary cocktails.Their kitchen is banging out some amazing dishes, such as the pulled pork poutine, the grace, O’Malley‘s burger and the southwest chicken sandwich. The burger was juicy and delicious. The chicken sandwich was crispy and spicy and you came on a brioche bun. Topped with fresh tomatoes and purple onions. Very well and very tasty. I paired it with mac & cheese, which is not a traditional mac & cheese by any means. This mac & cheese was out of this world. Fantastic! The only reason why this place did not get a five star rating was because they were short a waitress on this particular Monday. However, our bartender was very social and accommodating. Will definitely be back again for final four.“

“I like to go here on Saturday night for a drink when I want a taste of some live jazz/blues music. You do not need to plan ahead an get tickets, pay a cover or worry about parking. It is a very intimate setting where you really see the musicians close enough to see their fingers moving and shared ques between the band members. Everyone is pretty friendly and the drinks are priced right. Would recommend if you need a quick Blues fix on a Saturday night.“

“Food is nothing to write home about. There's good bar food and then there's also meh bar food. This is meh. However, you will still have a great time if you just want to watch a game and have some drinks. The place is decorated, warm, and inviting. Go outside and smoke or grab a table in the summer months. Always a good time. Plenty of parking.“

“Their Reuben sandwich for St Patrick's Day was delicious! I had the medium and it had plenty of meat on it!Parking: There's a small strip mall attached & around the corner thankfully everything was closed so we parked there.Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids there“

“Really cool place. My kids and I enjoy any and everything paranormal, and when we heard about this place we decided to take a trip. The bartender was awesome, telling us some stories of her paranormal experiences, and gave us some history of the place. Then some patrons were at the bar and one came over and told us some more. Very nice people. Ordered the Calamari, Chicken Tacos, Legend burger, and Mushroom Swiss burger. All Amazing, my daughter who is the pickiest eater of them all loved the chicken tacos. Burgers were prepared perfectly and were absolutely amazing. Calamari was also very good, just wish the portion was bigger for the price (photo attached is after we started eating some). I’m not a big beer drinker but I ordered the Maplewood Krispie Cakes on tap, and I might come back just for the beer alone. All in all, amazing experience, wonderful service, and we will be back for the ghost tours around spooky season.“

“Awesome food/drinks and service! Also just as awesome is the interior decor here, especially the ceiling and the top of the bar. How many places have the name and contact info of other businesses on the ceiling along with pennies under the glass top of a table? LOL That is so cool and unique!“

“When you hear the name Shanahan's, one would think that this is an Irish pub, but it's actually touted as a creole restaurant. I have been to this restaurant in Forest Park, Illinois many times, and have mixed feelings about it. Oftentimes, the food is delicious but there have been other times when I found certain dishes to be inconsistent; such as the Seafood gumbo (sometimes too salty but other times decent). On the other hand, the Shrimp & Grits, the Fried Calamari and the hurricane drinks are consistently delicious. Dress is casual and food prices are moderate and a good value for the amount of food served. The staff is friendly and attentive. The locals love this place (which sometimes causes a noisy atmosphere) so get there early to avoid the crowds, as well as to secure on-street parking.“
