“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.“

“Visited early afternoon Fri 12/19. Felt sorry for the only woman there to serve, as she was covering both the bar and all tables. The place was packed. I hope she made bank in tips. I give her all the credit in the world for her exceptional friendliness and attitude. As our group was leaving, we did see another server, so I hope our original server got some relief.“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“Pretty good menu. Lots of grilled cheeses and at first I was skeptical but it really is flavorful. My favorite monthly sandwich I wish could be turned into a standard sandwich is the cubano. Loaded tots are also very good.“

“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“

“The early formative years were in the far South Suburbs but this is first time I have ever heard of this place and its cracker crust pizza.

Ordered the personal pizza with sausage and pepperoni which was served piping hot. Excellent flavor on the fennel sausage and pepperoni in a very flavorful sauce covered in cheese.

Their reuben rolls (corned beef eggroll) was very tasty, nice saltiness of the corned beef with sourness of the kraut. The deep fried wrapper was crispy but also slightly chewy.

Their soup du jour of lemon chicken rice was 🔥. Dont sleep on this soup!!

Overall, a comfy place, very large space with ftiendly staff. A solid 4.6⭐️s.“

“very nice place. would recommend“
