What People Are Saying About Irish Oak
The Editor

The Scene – Set in the heart of Wrigleyville, the two-room bar is a low-lit, casual hangout with all that real Irish charm many other area pubs strain for, as everything here has been imported from the home country. The stereo plays a mixture of traditional Celtic and modern Irish tunes (U2, Van Morrison) to accommodate the 20- and 30-somethings crowded into booths, banquettes and tables. People come from near and far for eclectic live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. – – The Draw – On inevitably crowded weekends, the Guinness and Murphy's Stout taps can…

Cozy decor, friendly staff, feels authentic!
by gina54
Wow, this is the best Irish bar in town in my opinion. I've been to Dublin and feel it could be placed there and the Irish would not know the difference! The staff is amazing, especially Sarah and Gail. They are polite and offer great service but are so much fun. The food, while I was skeptical at first, turned out to be pretty damn good for a bar. Highly recommend this for either a fun night out or a lunch out with your friends.
- Pros: Feels like you are in Ireland
- Cons: Nothing I can think of!

Best Corned Beef Sandwiches!
by fmbradly
My friends and I came into town to watch the Cubs game from Los Angeles. After the game we stumbled into The Irish Oak just looking for a beer before we went home. A couple of beers later we ordered some food from the menu. Everything we ordered was great but the Corned Beef Sandwich & The Shepherd's Pie were the best we ever tasted! The service was great too! Sarah, our bartender was very cool. She was helpful in recommending food from the menu and drinks from the bar. Our short 6 hour stay at The Irish Oak was one of the best parts of our trip to Chicago.
- Pros: Great food and beer selection.
