In Short
Named after Irish expat and former Chicago Police Chief Francis O'Neill, this spot draws locals for its pints, cheese and Guinness soup and Seamus Blue Ribbon Stew made with lamb, potatoes, carrots and parsnips. An all-ages crowd pours in on Sundays for the meat-heavy Irish breakfast (rashers, sausages, black and white pudding and all the fixins') and regular jam sessions. Look for lots of Celtic memorabilia via photos, wood tables and signs.

That is their motto. Walk in here, you are in Ireland. Everything is authentic right down to the servers, Whiskey on tap, and the fish and chips on Fridays. Fabulous beer garden in the summer which is dog friendly on Monday nights! Great brunch on Sunday. Call for the live music schedule. A wonderful neighborhood pub.

There was a five dollar cover for music in another room and it was 5pm on a Monday (St Patty's day). They poured guiness in plastic cups like we were at a college keg party and charged 6 dollars each. The food was alright, the fish and chips were soggy. We were told cash only even though we were sitting at a bar with about ten stools, they normally take credit cards and we came to eat and have a few drinks. The bartender decided to apologize about twenty minutes to late in an attempt to win us over after we had already gone to an ATM, told us we could pay for the rest with a credit card if we wanted to. It didn't work, we won't go back. Overall, it was really overpriced and the service was bad. They obviously arent' looking for new customers because they went out of their way to make the experience one not to be repeated. Of all the irish pubs in Chicago, don't choose this one.

i went to a party at this bar. it was in the upstairs attic. i had heard nothing but great things about this place, prior to going. The room was beautifully decorated, the food tasted absolutly delicious, (for bar food!), and everything seemed to be running smoothly, up until i was a witness to what was possibly the WORST "customer service" i had ever seen in my life! the staff was involved in the whole party setting, and not because they were working or invited, but b/c they found it necessary to question every customer that walked up to the bar, even though the ENTIRE room had already paid a ridiculous amount of money, for an open bar special. not only were the employees terrible, starting from their appearance down to their demeanor; but the "management staff" was the most unprofessional i have ever seen in my life! i give this place one star-for the beautiful decorations, and decent bar food. but i would NEVER recommend this place to anyone! do not attend or throw your party here, i promise you will be sorry!
