    Oh my... I just loved my experience at Celtic Crossing. This pub is the epitome of Irish hospitality and culture all wrapped up into a beautiful little place with a whole lot of atmosphere. Paddy the bar man was just so great. I loved reminiscing with him and truly felt like I was back home. No food here, it's truly a wet bar, but we did manage to get some Tayto's which were a real treat the Guinness was outstanding.. just like you would get back home. I think that's a first for me to experience outside of Ireland!! No TV's, no sports .. just chin wagging and it was great. I loved all the photos and artwork displayed. It just enhanced the whole vibe, not that it actually needed any enhancement. A great night and one I'll remember for a while. Don't miss!

    I lived in Manhattan for 7 years ~ and spent most nights at my local Irish pub drinking, eating and conversing with the regulars. In New York City there are Irish pubs on practically every block, some blocks have 2 or 3. Most are very authentic; Irish bartenders, multiple Irish brews on tap and a great Irish Whiskey selection. In Chicago, not so many. There are Irish pubs, but a lot of them are staffed by college kids and they don't necessarily have a wide selection of brews or whiskey. The exception is Celtic Crossing. The staff are all excellent and they carry all the brews & whiskey you would expect. Also the best Guinness pour in the city. This is my new go to spot......clean, friendly and always fun.

    Nice people but, the smell of urine/urinal cake was so pungent in the bar I could barely stay long enough to finish my pint.

    They really know how to pour a good Guinness here. Hung out with a friend here last night. The other regulars were friendly and welcoming. After Guinness went with a Miller high life. After the miller high life asked if they had cream for a white Russian. Not a lot of bars carry creamer because it has a short shelf life and it could easily go bad quickly. Normally I'd order something else if they don't have cream. For the second time in my life the bartender walked briefly next door to get milk for my White Russian!! I was extremely impressed it had only happened once to me before. Outstanding service. They played Irish music which is interesting. Before we left some customers my age or younger came in and the music switched to like pop music from when I was a tween.

    Came here on thanksgiving and it was such a joy!! The bartender was so kind and welcoming. The smell of pizza hits you immediately. Good laid back place to grab a couple of drinks. Very low key. The bartender even taught us how to play darts

    When a restaurant is 90 + years old, you know they are doing something right. Turns out they do…read moreeverything right. The decor looks historic with dark wood walls, beautiful molding, and of course antique sports memorabilia. It is in Chicago after all!! The menu items that were highlighted was the prime rib, while supplies last and the ribs. I tried to go with the prime rib but at 7:30 it was sold out. The bartenders suggested the French dip sandwich with shaved prime rib but went with the ribs instead. Smoked daily the ribs were tender and moist with a very sweet homemade BBQ sauce. I prefer my sauce on the spicy side but it was delicious, the shrimp were fried and crispy, served with fresh cocktail sauce. I opted for the fries and side salad but were good. The Greek vinaigrette dressing was delicious. The bartender was super engaging and knowledgeable. I hat his signature Ole Fashion and a glass of cab from their list. Both were great You need to eat here!!

    After many years of walking past Miller's Pub I finally had the opportunity to have dinner there…read more The inside of the pub is dark wood with lots of pictures of the family that owns Miller's Pub plus pictures of celebrities who have been there. The decor is straight from the 60s or 70s. The menu has something for everyone from ribs to prime rib to burgers. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. The food was good. Our only one issue is the waiter told us the lamb chop special was gone so my husband ordered the pork chops but what was served were lamb chops. He ate them so we didn't say anything to the waiter but it was strange because the bill listed lamb chops not pork chops. Maybe they weren't gone after all? Over all I'll be keeping Miller's Pub in mind when we need somewhere to go for dinner or lunch and don't necessarily want fast food or the latest hot restaurant.

    Tucked upstairs at The Soho House in the West Loop and sitting behind a set of saloon doors, Fox…read moreBar is an absolute unexpected speakeasy vibe for cocktails and a good time! We wandered in after dinner nearby and wanted a chill cocktail, we got the cocktail, not so much the chill...and that was 100% okay with us once we realized what we came upon at the top of that staircase. While small, they have all the goods for classic cocktails and even several house curated drinks. You can basically get dealers choice, which is a rotating house cocktail and it will run you around $13, which is the price that most cocktails came in at. The drink menu is seasonal and changes often, but they still sling all the classics and really anything you can think of. My partner went with a house cocktail, but I was after an espresso martini...and honestly, this doesn't seem like an espresso martini place, but they came through and it was a delightful nightcap for sure! Service was stellar, the bartenders were chill, engaged, friendly and efficient. Overall, solid spot for a cocktail in the West Loop - Definitely worth the trip in and up those stairs!

    Been to Fox bar several years in a row (first encounter was back in 2018), and it usually doesn't…read moredisappoint. The staff is friendly and helpful (even got a free glass of champagne to celebrate my friend's birthday). It's an easy spot to walk into and, if you're lucky, plop down on one of the seats until closing. The bar's a little hidden in the SoHo house building, and once you're inside behind the swinging saloon doors you're welcomed by a cosy dive bar setting. If there are three things that made the experience this time around less optimal: the bar seemed to have attracted some rowdy/intrusive drunks (we got harassed a few times), the bar area itself had a puke-y smell going on, and the time it takes to get a drink can be quite long.
