OPENING TIMES
Barney Callaghan's Pub
10618 South Western Avenue, Chicago
An authentic Irish pub with a new name and a new look with the same character and charm. Still best
Butch McGuire's
20 W Division St, Chicago
Butch McGuire borrowed a little money from his mother and opened his “world famous” saloon in 1961. The legendary bar corridor of Rush and Division was born. Butch had the perfect hang-out for local gold coast and old town singles, most of whom happened to be his friends. In fact, through cocktails and conversation, it is believed that over 10,000 marriages have resulted from encounters throughout the decades. Butch, “the unofficial mayor of Division street”, took an active part in the community and took a great interest in his employee’s lives. Butch was always proud to claim that hundreds of men and women had paid for some, if not all, of their educations while working at the saloon. Butch was also quite an advocate for women, being one of the first Chicago bar owners to hire female bartenders and managers. Back in the earlier days, only women were allowed a seat at the crowded bar, men would either give up their seats or be thrown out.
Celtic Crossing Irish Pub
751 N Clark Street, Chicago
At some “Irish” bars, the most they have in common with Ireland is Guinness on tap and cardboard shamrocks taped to windows. Not so here. You’ll find 13 beers on tap, mostly imports like Murphy’s, Newcastle, Guinness and Harp. A good crowd comes to listen and sometimes dance to live Irish music, but mainly people just socialize.
Chief O'Neill's
3471 N Elston Ave, Chicago
Chief O’Neill’s is the perfect Irish pub offering terrific food and classic Irish music. Shepherd’s pie, delicious meatloaf and fish and chips are served in an atmosphere that transports you to Ireland. Stop in for some great music and a delicious award-winning pint of Guinness.
Clancy’s Pizza Pub
4624 W 103rd St, Oak Lawn
Clancy's Pizza Pub in Oak Lawn, Illinois, is a popular Irish-American bar and grill known for its pizza, pub food, and entertainment, including live music and karaoke. It offers a full bar with draft beer, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and provides options for dine-in, takeout, and delivery.
