Regular folks settle into high-backed chairs at this woody, memorabilia-laden space. Stained-glass windows set a moody, almost upscale tone, while entertaining artifacts, ranging from early Soldier Field relics to outdated matchbooks, spark conversation among bar newbies and boisterous regulars. Outdoors, a multilevel beer garden decked with flowers and antique odds-and-ends makes revelers all but forget the bustling surroundings.

Great place to Go
by shygirl1 at Citysearch
I'Ve been going to Cork & Kerry for awhile and I always have a good time. Until I went to a publisity night with Miller Beer. One of the guys who worked for Miller I think his name was Scott and boy does he make promises that if I showed him my chest he would give me prizes. I was so insulted that going to a neighborhood bar and this happens I will not be going back there again!!!!

not for everybody
by sflash53 at Citysearch
beer garden is nice but inside is too small and crowded. not really a neighborhood bar and prices are kinda steep. virtually no parking available. too many other nice places on western ave to have a drink and meet people at to give this place much attention.
- Pros: beer garden
- Cons: no parking, service is ok
