Editorial Review for Peggy Kinnane's Irish Restaurant & Pub – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
This large, comfortable space is packed with imported Irish decor; a fair-sized patio gets crowded when the weather is decent, and weekend nights often see a wait. Irish pub favorites are done well, from thick burgers to fish and chips, Irish stew and shepherd's pie. Friday-Saturday nights feature live Irish bands, while Sundays host an authentic Irish brunch. Try the Irish fry--eggs, Irish bacon, Irish sausage, black-and-white pudding and potato patties.

Insider Tips

The Extras

Since this pub is in Arlington Heights (not Chicago), beer and booze can be served beginning at 10am on Sundays. Guinness and Boddington's top the draft menu, but it also serves a mean bloody mary.

I don't usually wirte reviews, but after going to Peggy's many times with the whole family intow I felt the need to set the record straight about this place. Having read some of the negative reviews I can only believe that they were penned by someone with an axe to grind against the owner or his staff. Maybe an exemployee or a drunk whom they would not tolerate in a family establishment. Every time my family has been there the service has always been great (which is hard to find having 2 kids with severe food allergies). The food quality has always been fantastic, but watch out for the wings, they are hot... All in all every time we have been at Peggy's we have never been dissappointed.

Pros: Good food and service, Great for families

Cons: Can be crowded, call for a reservation

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Just have to say I've been going to Peggy's regularly for many years. It's the best bar in the northwest suburbs, Period. I dine out every week all over Chicago and the northwest suburbs and return to Peggy's because of the great staff, upscale clean environment, and excellent food. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and do take the time to say hi, making you feel welcome. I love the Shepard's pie, meatloaf, cornbeef, just to name a few. In fact Peggy’s food is the closest to a home cooked meal I’ve ever had! The negative reviews written previously sound more like a personal vendetta against the establishment rather than an honest review. Yes it was awarded Business of the Year, and it's for a reason. When passing through our great town of Arlington Heights, you must stop in for a pint and some great food! Peggy's is simply the best. Period.

Pros: Great Food, Great Staff, Very Very Clean

Cons: None
