“Cool place excellent service!!!“

“Lovely gal behind the bartender, don't u dare be mean to her. Beware of the bar itself (lol) there's a lip on the edge that two folks spilled drinks off of. (Definitely not me though...)
Garage doors that open up when weather allows, wonderful rustic look inside, and some decent beer!“

“Lovely Korean karaoke pub with solid food, spacious rooms, and great service. The only downside was that the karaoke setup runs through YouTube instead of the classic karaoke systems with built-in music videos and. It still worked fine, but part of the nostalgic karaoke fun was missing a bit.“

“The most unpretentious public house I've found in Chicago. Fantastic pool table and beer garden. Mel abides.“

“Good food! Great atmosphere.“

“Music atmosphere people and drinks!“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“great time on our first trip there tonight! Special shout out to Savanah! she was our awesome waitress!“

“Honestly I love the red neon aesthetic, I only wish the white light from the lobby didn't bleed in as much. I will note, this place is small, like you're not gonna fit more than 20 people in here if you tried, more often than not you'll only find 4-5 people in here, but that's a vibe honestly too.

One thing I need to note is the food, omg how is the food here so good? It's ordered from across the street and some guy brings it over in a bag and it's phenomenal and well priced.

Overall good place to bring a date or for a first time causal meeting“

“R Public House is an absolutely fantastic neighborhood staple that perfectly blends a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with truly high-quality food and drink. It is exactly the kind of local spot where you feel instantly at ease, whether you are grabbing a quick bite after work or meeting up with friends for a relaxed evening. The menu is consistently impressive, featuring delicious, well-prepared dishes that use fresh ingredients, and their selection of drinks is always top-notch. I place an incredibly high premium on cleanliness when dining out, and I am consistently impressed by how tidy, well-organized, and professionally maintained their entire space is—it really shows a high level of care for the guest experience. The staff is consistently attentive, warm, and highly efficient, making sure everything runs smoothly even during peak hours. I highly recommend visiting R Public House if you are looking for a reliably excellent, comfortable, and professional environment for a great meal!“

“Food was decent . Not great but not bad. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
But the food was just good. Didn't like the fries but the short rib sandwich was tender. The burrata was good but not enough bread to eat it with. Did not like the sticky toffee.
I'd go back though.“

“Such a great experience having dinner and drinks this evening. They absolutely nailed GREAT customer service. The food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Ireland’s is so fun! Love all their events, especially tap takeover �“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“This is one of those rare first-time stops that you make in life. You have a beverage, the clientele and staff make you feel welcome, & soon you're part of this warm, friendly family. Stay well!“

“Great Pub great staff 🇮🇪👍👍“

“Took a trip out to the area, decided to stop here to eat on the way home. Wow we were delighted. Chris was great and made me literally the best amaretto sour ever. I got the pan roast and my partner got the gumbo. Huge portions. So delicious.“

“Last time we had the wings they were delicious, this Thursday they were dry, like they were sitting under a heat lamp and then tossed in sauce Disappointed. Had a BLT it was good! Husband had the chicken panini. It was delicious. Yes, we highly recommend going here. I think that the wait staff needs some more training. 👍“

“My wife and I ate here on a whim and had the best time! Zero complaints about the service or food. Whenever we're back in town, they'll be high on our list to revisit.“

“Best 🍔 !Biggest garden !Amazing place!“

“Delicious food - great ambiance - great Melvin Taylor!!“

“Been coming here for company events for a few years. Their pizza and chicken tenders are great. The bar downstairs has its own hometown atmosphere, but if you can get upstairs for some old school bowling or billiards, it really elevates the fun. Great place to have some fun with friends.“

“great people! very welcoming“

“Excellent food and super nice waiter, Ryan. Plan to return again!“

“I ate here twice. Cesar salad with grilled chicken was very good, a little heavy on the dressi g for my liking. I also had the chicken wings which were average, a little too crispy in my opinion, but celery was very fresh and was very good with the blue cheese. Second visit, I had the Italian Wedding soup. Soup was delicious and hot, perfectly paired with the buttery toast that just melted in my mouth with the soup broth and was perfect for dipping!! I also had the market salad with medium rare steak. Salad was big and steak was cook as requested. The soup with toast was definitely the highlight for me. Prices are on the high end, but I didn't leave hungry. Perfect spot when staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out.“

“Walter was great. Service was terrific and the food was delicious!“

“Clark Griswald sandwich is delicious!“

“The restaurant was great, excellent food and service. It's part of the Hilton Hotel and the parking is self service, but there is a fee for the lot. However, the restaurant does validate so there's no fee to park when dining there.“

“awesome staff and fun place to be“

“We have been going there for over a year on the first Friday of every month to see the free live music! It is always a great time and family friendly. The kids really get into the music. The band is excellent, providing music of all genres. If they have live music every Friday, we would be there every Friday! The staff is great and the food above average! See you the first Friday of every month!“
