Complete with green-and-white striped awnings and a hanging coat-of-arms, the interior of this 19th-century corner tavern also showcases Irish ala Chicago tinges. The original tin ceiling and back bar (constructed by Brunswick for the Schlitz Brewing Company) compliment the framed photos of famed Irish writers, the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, as well as the 1994 World Cup football jersey that adorn the walls. Aside from the elongated front bar, tables, high tops, flat screens, a pool table and various bar games occupy the remainder of the space. Along with multiple beers on draft (including Guinness), the extensive menu features a mixture of Irish and American fare, including Lucky Pot of Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Gov'nor's Shepherd's Pie, Guinness Stew, as well as tacos, burritos, sandwiches and salads.,
