I'm a hamburger guy. Can't beat that hamburger ANYWHERE!. I've been eating hamburgers everywhere in the world for more years than I care to remember. Any place I visit I always make sure I have a hamburger at what is rated the Best hamburger in town. If I didn't live in Chicago ( and I'm fortunate that I do ), I would fly back just to have a hamburger at Poag Mahone's. Need I say more.…
Solid place. 1/2 price food just about everyday. Nice place to grab a drink after work, lots of traders and business people in a low-key environment.
Love It! Food - Love it! cost- Love it! Clean Bathrooms.
Every time I go out and have a drink I find myself using the restroom and let me just say using the rest room at anyplace in Chicago can be a nasty event. But at Poag, thank god, I have only had
clean experience. I know that sounds silly but I'm glade the people who run Poag's don't think so. And did I say they have great burgers, better than I make at home. I love that the name of the bar means "up your butt. That's funny to me. I told the manager last time I was in how great the service was but he already knows so thats way I am writing this little review.
I hope they open more of them.…
Business-casual types stop by for tasty hamburgers and after-work cocktails and at this cheery Irish pub in the Insurance Exchange Building..
The Scene
A crossbreed of Irish pub and executive office suite, Poag's features a dark-wood bar, burgundy leather barstools and sepia-toned photos. A stained glass partition splits the
warmly lit room in two--the bar side is narrow and bustling, with chest-high rectangular tables; the non-bar side is spread out, with square, restaurant-style tables. Men in their 30s, 40s and silver-haired 50s hang casual in crewneck sweaters and Dockers and puff the odd cigar. Studious-looking women in glasses dot the groups. Everyone converses with noisy abandon, so one barely hears the ESPN- and CNN-tuned TVs suspended bar-side.
The Draw
Rocks glasses swirl with Irish whiskeys and single-malt scotches--a mind-boggling array lines the bar under a quirky ceramic dog collection--and tap-drawn Guinness and Harp crown the beer selection. The menu showcases burgers, turkey, roast beef, corned beef and pulled pork sandwiches, tossed salads and traditional bar appetizers.…
