What People Are Saying About Emmit's Irish Pub & Eatery
The Owner
Emmit's Irish Pub & Eatery
Owner
This busy intersection is no stranger to wild times. The building that houses Emmit's once housed the valuable hordes of several prominent Chicago gangsters. The remnants of this era can be seen throughout the building. Along the years it has evolved but the spirit of old-school Chicago remains. In addition to the craziness, Emmit's is also a favorite location for Hollywood producers with scenes shot from Ocean's 11 & 12,Backdraft,Uncle Buck,The Beast,& many others. Established in 1996, it has become the neighborhoods unrivaled corner pub. True to its heritage, the bars decor runs the gamut from traditional Irish items to official Chicago Police paraphernalia. Outside of the domestic and imported microbrews, the bar boasts an original martini list & offers both Irish & American dining selections. Sample the shepherd's pie along with one of the many scotches! Stop by & say slainte!

I love hanging out here whenever I get a chance. The food is not memorable, but the atmosphere is unbeatable. There is just something to the place that makes you feel right at home. Never been during the week, only Saturdays, and it's been both super crowded and very mellow. Great staff has fun and took great care of us. Must check it out!
