Editorial Review for Poag Mahone's – by Karla Zimmerman
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.

Insider Tips
When to GoThe bar's hours reflect its business mindset, so it's open solely on weekdays, and then only until 9pm, when good executives go home and go to bed.

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.

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.
