Chicago’s Irish community is one of the largest in the U.S., rooted in 19th-century immigration and still thriving today. Neighborhoods like Beverly and Bridgeport showcase deep Irish ties, while pubs such as Chief O’Neill’s and The Galway Arms keep the culture alive with music and camaraderie. The Irish American Heritage Center anchors the community year-round, and each March the city famously dyes the Chicago River green before hosting one of the world’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day parades.
