The original Durty Nellie's was built in 1620 near the Bunratty Castle in County Clare. (Nellie herself is rumored to be a feisty Irish woman who tended bar long ago.) The Palatine location takes a cue from the original, serving traditional Irish pub grub like Gaelic fish and chips and chicken and potato pie in a dim, woody atmosphere. Less authentic items include crispy flatbread pizzas, "Belfast bombers" (a trio of mini burgers or pulled pork sandwiches). The restaurant doubles as a live music venue, featuring everything from rock to house to acoustic sets. Electronic darts, Golden Tee and an internet jukebox round out the entertainment.

By Keith Stockton from Palatine, IL, January 31, 2007

We ate at this place and it was not that great or good. They had a limited menu and no seafood or good steaks. Too noisy and no smoking any longer....
