Popular for a reason, welcoming bartenders, cold beer, nice warm break from the frigid temperatures outside. Also recommend a good wing place in the area; will have to stop in again.

I can't say anything about food as we only ordered drinks. You can't go to an Irish bar and not order a pint of Guinness. The place was very crowded yet I felt like I was at home. I liked its old-school interior. I got that the place is dog-friendly, I just did not get seeing a dog sitting on the actual table. Not my cup of tea. Overall, good note.

One of the best local bars you can find in Lincoln Park. Bartender Juliette is the most personable bartender I have met in years. You can’t have a bad time here.

Love this place, they do a cute dog competition every month. If they would upgrade their cork dart boards, I may never go to another bar ever again

Everything was great. Heather was super cool, although she never delivered the lobster I asked for. Repeatedly. Still, highly recommend the River Shannon.

Wonderful local watering hole.
Even if you've never been there before, the staff makes you feel like a regular.

beautiful old school interior.
dog friendly.
great draft heights at a reasonable price for the neighborhood.

open early if you want a quick nip before lunch.

Came here while daughter was at a concert at Park West. Amazing little pub, glad I don't live down here, because I would be here every night. Great service and cool atmosphere.

They allow dogs inside the bar which is pretty awesome. I only had 2 beers so I can't say anything else. Beer prices were fair.

I don't remember the last critical review I've written but this was egregious IMO so here it is. We stopped in on a Sunday evening a few weeks ago. Not at all crowded. Ordered 2-G&T's, 2-Vodka Sodas. I watched the young girl behind the bar pour what was not even 1.5 oz of booz into a plastic cup. I've been around long enough to recognize weak cocktails when I see and drink them. Price? $14 each. After taxes, fees, tip? $68.24. I was born and raised in Chicago area. We've all experienced gouging esp since 2020. This one surprised me more than most which motivated me to alert others. Be aware!
