This is an authentic, Irish-owned and operated pub in the heart of Wrigleyville. There's Guinness on tap and bartenders who pride themselves on how to properly pour it. Stop by for a traditional "session" featuring local musicians every Thursday, Friday and Saturday around 9 p.m, and other musical acts on weekends. There's also a full lunch and dinner menu, with Irish favorites like shepherd's pie, salmon, fish of the day, and sandwiches. And, as a bonus for those who have overindulged the night before, the standard Irish breakfast "fry" is offered every day, all day.
