Staff was a bit rude. My gf asked for a drink that we were told the bartender was not making at the time. It was a sunday afternoon with football on. Not to mention online it says they open at 11am when on sundays we were told at the door they open at 10am.

I dont know what is her name, but bartender today was pretty bad. Owner probably can figure out her name based on date and time of this review. She allegedly ignored us and talked to other people instead of giving us drink. Bar overall is decent, it is all about bartender and service

I never got a chance to go inside. There were 2 men standing at the entrance during the start of the Packers bears game 11-17-24, that refused to let me in because I was wearing a Bengals hoody. Definitely a hostile environment unless you are a Packers fan. Don't waste your time. We went to "The Farm," down the road and had an awesome time. Don't waste your time on O'Leary's, many other good places within walking distance.

I visited Chicago as a solo traveller from Scotland. As this bar was around the corner from my accommodation I decided to frequent it multiple times.The staff were fantastic and very knowledgeable about the area. I enjoyed drinks with the regular patrons as well as out of towners! A great bar for drinks with a wholesome feel to it! I am returning in September 2025 and will be attending this bar again. Thanks for everything!

Plastic cups for beer. Unacceptable.

Apparently Irish aren't allowed into an Irish bar. Would Avoid.

Great place to watch the Packers! But make sure you're in your Packers gear on gameday otherwise may be tough to get in.

They jokingly say on the tee shirts “where the service varies,” but we had nothing but AWESOME service at this bar. We came several evenings at different times, and had a great visit each time.

We had two bartenders, Alyssa and Ellye, who were fantastic. They were friendly and efficient, checking on us for refills or a fresh round of drinks in a timely way. We really appreciated their attention to detail and attentiveness while we sat outside.

This place is exactly what you’d expect for an Irish pub: lots of beer to choose from, some decent whiskey selection, and quick service.

We are happy to come back next time we’re in town, it was a great spot.

4.0/5. Asked for a black & tan. My assumption was if you went to an Irish bar in the states that was a known drink. Such is life. Otherwise a good spot.

Went here to get my first shot of Malort. The bartender did a great job of explaining what it was and made it a great experience. Looking forward to returning on a future visit.
