What People Are Saying About Irish Eyes Pub

The Scene – Lincoln Parkers in comfy attire sit alongside DePaul's less adventuresome types, resulting in a neighborhood-meets-college-dorm appeal. Typical accoutrements (think beer-touting mirrors) grace the walls of this angular spot, which is known to draw a particularly young and boisterous crowd--even on weekdays. – – The Draw – Irish atmosphere and beer for the anti-martini set. Black and tans are cranked at light speed for local revelers, while DePaul transplants are known to up the ante with Irish car bombs and Red Bull-Jager shots. Plenty of the…

  1. Yeah, it's crowded sometimes, but the bartenders are cool and Whitey O'Day and Jerry O'Connell put on a good show on the weekends.
  2. Great drinks, staff and even live music on the weekends.
  3. The music is great, the bartenders are too and so are the friendly door staff, who will get to know you by name, overall one of my favorites.

I once knew a man from Nantucket...

by Jacks_appendix at Citysearch

Of all the bars I've visited since moving to Chicago last year, Irish Eyes is by far my favorite! It's not pretentious or trendy...just a bunch of people drinking beer and having a good time. Yeah, it's crowded sometimes, but the bartenders are cool and Whitey O'Day and Jerry O'Connell put on a good show on the weekends. You can't go wrong with dirty limericks!!

Parkway?...naw

by DPUBlueDemon at Citysearch

I can't say enough about a bar which openly honors the draft mugs of a rival Lincoln Park bar and is proud of it. Go on mondays, but stop by Parkway on Fullerton first and buy a mug for the $.50 drafts that makes this place so great. The music is great, the bartenders are too and so are the friendly door staff, who will get to know you by name, overall one of my favorites.

  • Pros: Good Drink Specials, Attractive Bartenders, Friendly Bouncers
  • Cons: Gets PACKED!, Not Enough Tables, Small Bathroom
