This corner Irish pub in West Lakeview is known for its hearty food and lively jam sessions.
In Short Named after Irish expat and former Chicago Police Chief Francis O'Neill, this spot draws locals for its pints, cheese and Guinness soup and Seamus Blue Ribbon Stew made with lamb, potatoes, carrots and parsnips. An all-ages crowd pours in on Sundays for the meat-heavy Irish breakfast (rashers, sausages, black and white pudding and all the fixins') and regular jam sessions. Look for lots of Celtic memorabilia via photos, wood tables and signs.
