We had great dinner, drinks, and service at Dublin! It's definitely a dive bar vibe but the food was actually very good. I ordered the spicy chicken wrap and loved it. My friend ordered the lamb shank and the flavor was delicious. Our server Marco was exceptional - so friendly! read more

Dublin Bar & Grill - Spicy chicken wrap - Irish Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We went here because our hotel clerk suggested it when we were hungry at midnight and wanted a bar that served food. It was just down the street from our hotel and in such a lively location! There were always people walking by. We went every night of our trip, and it was packed every single night! Including a Wednesday! The food was delicious. We were addicted to ordering the soft pretzel and Reuben every single night. The drinks were fast and strong. I continued to order a gin & tonic and then tried an Irish coffee on our last night. Both great! The best part of this place was our server. He consistently took care of us (and started to remember us) and despite the insane crowds in there every night, he provided the best bar service we've ever received. Truly a great guy and I wish we got his name. We will be going back here next time we're in Chicago! read more

Okay food, ordered double vodka and got charged $27 for Tito's. Just not what I would expect from a pub at 7pm

Italian beef- precooked, dry, barely warm on the bread, no jus, no cheese. Asked for some jus and they charged me extra.....french fries didn't taste like potatoes because of the fry oil.... Chicago dog- good beef dog ($5 cheaper and better down the street), but no onions, no tomatoes, really? Is that the best you could do? Had to ask for more ice tea and when you brought it you took away the sweetener and sugar. Service-none....What happened here? On the way out, our wait staff was sitting on a bar stool chatting.... on a busy Saturday afternoon in the neighborhood.....Not again. Unisex b-rooms, don't follow a drunken sailor to use the b-room... Not clean, not accessible. $$$ read more

I love this place and I love that it's in the middle of all the steakhouses , but it's just this little golden gem only regulars know about or people end up stumbling into. There was a little bit of both on Friday early evening when I went. They have a solid beer list and everything is decently priced for being in that part of town. read more

One of the best damn restaurants in Chicago! The menu is diverse and amazing. I struggle what to order because I want 20 items. Service is perfect. Happy and enthusiastic! It's a cool low key vibe with lots of sports on tv. read more

Service a-ok. Ambiance too. Did not order food. Group of 10. Hockey on tv. Rest room line. Across from Carmines.

This is my favorite bar in Chicago. I might be biased because I had a dog once named Dublin ... but there is always so many fun different groups of people there from college reunions to wedding parties. I always enjoy my very boring vodka sodas, and the latest time I visited I got the cheeseburger. It was sooo good. I can't wait for my next excuse to go out and end the night with a drunk cheeseburger! Definitely chose this as your next place to gather with friends, have some drinks and have a fun time! read more

On 3/28, my friends and I came in around 4 PM. While bringing our drinks, the server spilled two full beers on my jeans. I had to spend about an hour in the bathroom trying to dry them. What made the experience worse was how it was handled. The server never came back to apologize, and we were still given the full check, including the automatic gratuity. We had to ask the manager to remove it, and instead of apologizing, she said, "These things happen." Accidents happen, but how a restaurant responds says everything. The total lack of apology or basic customer service was disrespectful, and I would avoid dining here. read more

Food is always on point, whether 11am, or 2am. Solid bar with great staff, one of my favorites in the city. Steak sandwich is a personal favorite and the seasonal soups always hit the spot. Its always a good time, and for a busy place, the bathrooms are always clean. read more

Great food and history! Definitely make this a required stop when visiting Chicago. The food was fast and delicious, and the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. read more

I stopped in after a night out with the girls and was shocked that they had a full service menu after midnight. The server was quick and attentive, especially for it to be a packed bar and late at night. I got the chicken parmesan, it was ok, just a little too cheesy and the chicken/sauce could do some more seasoning/flavor. I also had the cheesy poppers and they were good, I really enjoyed them. I would go back for cocktails and to try some other items. read more

For over 20 years, I've gone here for a quick and casual hang, knowing that I'm going to get good food, a great value, a wonderful time and whatever drink I'm in the mood for, it's going to hit the spot. Please tourists, stay away ! Just kidding -- a true hidden in plain site gem. read more

As you can probably tell from the name, the vibe of Dublins is an Irish Pub. It's nearly impossible to find somewhere casual in Gold Coast, but Dublins is perfect if you don't feel like dressing to the nines for dinner and/or drinks. Perfect place to watch sporting events too. They had high quality bar food from my experience. I got their spicy chicken caesar wrap, which I was only slightly disappointed with because it tasted more like a buffalo wrap than caesar. I loved that it came on a little bed of caesar salad though and I also loved that the chicken was breaded inside. Worth checking out if are looking for bar food, just want to grab a beer or a place to watch a game! read more

Had a great experience at Dublin's. Our server Sultan was great! She was super quick and helpful with the menu and offered friendly Service to me and my friends when we went in there. Give her a big Raise! Would have no problem, recommending Sultan or Dublin's to my friends and family!! read more

We decided to pop into this small inconspicuous little pub named Dublin as we meandered through the streets of The Gold Coast in Chicago. It's small and cozy with an obvious local clientele. Always a good sign. The staff are friendly and welcoming. This bar opens very early and stays open very late. They also do food. The menu is pretty big. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and fries which hit the spot. Very well priced here! read more

Food was terrible. Even something simple as caesar salad and calamari... Salad was room temperature. Not refreshing at all. No taste because essentially no dressing at all. Spicy Calamari was drenched in buffalo sauce which I didnt expect because i thought itd be a normal fried calamari app with maybe banana peppers or something but it was extremely mushy and odd to serve with cocktail sauce too read more

We used to be "regulars" at this place 35 years ago and have always enjoyed coming here. Hard to believe the same amazing bartender still works here and some of the "regulars " from back then still come here. We shared the cheeseburger and fries and they were fantastic (as they were back in the day). Glad our trip down memory lane did not disappoint read more

Ari and Louis at Dublin Bar & Grill are SENSATIONAL! I am Irish (dad) and mom (Cuban)! Ari and Louis look at me as Human. Looking Black in this world as both, Dublin Bar & Grill treats you as a Human. Ari knows her repeat customers & treat them as family. The menu is authentic Irish-American. EXTRA clean bathrooms. As a Cancer patient I appreciate this!! Situated on the corner of Rush, State & Maple & Cedar you cannot miss it. On my days off, I will always visit Ari and Louis until I go home to Arizona!!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dublin's! My husband and I happened to see this restaurant while walking around. Popped in to try it out and ended up loving it so much, we ate there all 5 nights of our stay in Chicago!! The food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the Bow tie Pasta, Calamari and Irish Beef Stew! The bartenders we had were the absolute nicest people! From the very first night, they made us feel welcome and as if we'd known them for years! Our bartenders were Abe, Mike, Alina and Johnny. Best bartenders we've had probably ever! If you are in Chicago, I 100% recommend going to Dublin's!! We can't wait to go back!! read more

Best and most hospitable bar in Chicago!! Visited Dublins this past Friday night and I must say, we were not disappointed! Wanted to show my friends a Chicago dive bar and were hoping for good food and it exceeded our expectations! Ruben and Lucas took great care of us and made us feel so welcome!!! My friends and I enjoy people watching and being in the industry, we look to see how other restaurants/bars run their place.. I will say that guy Ruben at the door (green sweater greeting everyone), we saw him hosting/seating tables, bussing/cleaning tables, signing tickets that other workers brought to him, and saw him kick 2 ppl out that were over served. We were like holy crap this guy does a little bit of everything and he was sooooo nice!!! Hope Dublins is taking care of him wish we had a Ruben at our place too that would multitask like that!! Even saw him combine some tables for a big party when it looked like there was literally no room for them to sit! We tried to steal him to come work at our place but he respectfully said he's happy with Dublins.. Will definitely be back soon and will hopefully be back on a night that Ruben and Lucas are both working!! Thanks for a great night guys and hopefully management is taking care of you for your efforts, ppl do notice!! Give Ruben a nice little raise before someone steals him, and he's easy on the eyes too hahah $$$$ Thanks Dublins!!! Looking forward to going back next week read more

I came here two weekends in a row for drinks, and was even more impressed with the bar food. Excellent service, great drinks all around for a dive bar with good pours. The bartenders and staff in general take care of you as well. For food, we got the Mediterranean beef salad, which was delicious and fresh. Lots of meat with a nice dressing. We also got the spinach and artichoke dip, but this wasn't my favorite and was a bit watery. We got a side of fries, which was actually a huge plate and excellent thin cut fries. Overall this was a great spontaneous dive bar dinner- no frills but awesome bang for your buck. read more

Dublin Bar & Grill - 'Side' of fries! - Irish Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really cool Irish pub in Gold Coast. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was slammed! They had TVs everywhere playing soccer and The Masters. Huge menu - over 25 different items to choose from for food and a large beer list. We enjoyed the chicken parm sandwich and fish and chips. The service was pretty bad but we were just hanging out for a while so it didn't bother us too much. Overall, would probably only go back for drinks! read more

Seemed like a place with a lot of history! Bartender was very knowledgeable about the area. Loved the oysters Rockefeller and drafts to get the evening started. read more

Get a new dishwasher, power wash the outdoor dining area, start using a clean rag to wipe off the tables! For years when I lived in the area Dublins used to be my go-to place. Not any more! I moved out of the area a few years ago and was very disappointed on my recent visit. The food was decent but the outdoor dining area smelled like vinegar, got several dirty bread plates that made me wonder what was at the bottom of my salad, And the guy at the next table kept vaping. Definitely not a great experience!! I will not be back. read more

Nice fraudulent reply. Embarrassing management. Never made an effort to actually reach out and make things right. Terrible experience from a rude raggedy female bartender to greasy, soggy food. Do not recommend. read more

I was visiting from New Jersey, we had Spicy Caesar Wrap and Chicken Vesuvio it was delicious and service was amazing, Sultan was our server and she was great and helpful. We had an amazing night. Ill definitely be back read more

Quintessential Chicago Gold Coast Experience. Surprisingly good food for super late night bar. Drinks kind of what you expect. Ambience, second to none for a late night cold coast experience, always visit. For a place that's going to be crowded no matter what, and services a lot of entitled people, the staff is impressively fun and great attitude. Waitress named Sultan is particularly a standout, although most people I've had are very good and zero bad experiences in MANY trips. read more

I needed a cheaper place to eat. Although this place ain't exactly cheap, if you compare it to other restaurants in this area.....it's a lot better than paying $90 for a steak or $55 for a plate of pasta. There are many eateries doing that in this neighborhood. It was a late Sunday afternoon. Place was packed, but I found a lone stool at the bar. Music was loud. Bartender was coy, but friendly. One thing I was asked to do before ordering, was to let the bar hold on to my credit card! This is a first for me. Perhaps prevents dine & dash? I ordered a corn beef sandwich ($15) and a bottle of beer ($5.50). As I sat there waiting for my food, there was a heated discussion between a server and a manager. Another manager had to get involved as well. Despite the loud music, I could hear it. I was surprised they even discussed their problems right in front of a customer, but it is a very small and cramped joint. I could watch the kitchen do its thing from my bar stool. If cooks handling food without gloves is a deal breaker for you.....don't order anything to eat here. Sandwich arrived promptly, mediocre at best....along with a generous portion of French fries. I'll probably go elsewhere next time, for variety's sake. read more

By the name, anyone can guess it's an Irish pub, but it's harder to guess if it's any good. Dublin is a typical casual looking pub in a hip neighborhood. It actually looks a little divey compared to other restaurants. Gets rowdy in here. There's always some drunk bastards making a move on women, oh by the way, excuse me. Guinness is on tap of course. It's $8 a pint. That seems kind of a lot but oh well. It's ice cold. They also have a better than expected food menu. Even vegetarians can find something good, because they have a Beyond Burger. It's $12 and is a big hunk of non meat. This comes with plentiful lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Other food is typical for a bar. They have wings and those kind of greasy bar favorites. Have some good Irish fun awhile. It's better than it looks. The entertainment includes watching games on TV and watching winos make fools of themselves. read more

Grabbed a bite with a friend on Friday night. It was pretty crowded but we got a table. Had some drinks and some food. I always walk past this spot and when I saw the menu was vast and reasonably priced I just may come back. All sorts of people are in there black white Indian Asian Latin a mix pool but of course it's a pub so mostly white. It's in the heart of Rush and Oak so there's a lot of people watching. My food was cool. read more

Great spot for late night in Gold Coast. Food is surprisingly delicious - always a good time!

What happened to Dublin's? This used to be my go-to casual spot for good food, wine, and service. It had been a while since my last visit--life got busy after having a baby--but I was so excited to return for an afternoon out with a friend. Unfortunately, the experience completely ruined my rare day out. First, they no longer have a real wine selection--just basic house options for red, white, and rosé. Our waitress couldn't provide any details beyond that. We decided on a bottle of rosé, but as we poured it, we realized it was a low-calorie, low-alcohol version. That's not what we wanted. When we told them we didn't want it, they argued that because the bottle was open, they couldn't do anything. But we had tried to ask questions before ordering, and our waitress was no help. Eventually, they agreed to swap it for a bottle of red. However, the waitress simply placed the bottle on the table and walked away--we still had our small pours of rosé but no clean glasses. We waited, but no one came. After a while, we just drank the little bit of rosé left in our glasses and poured the red ourselves. The food was decent, and we were enjoying our afternoon--until the check arrived. We were shocked to see that we were being charged for the glasses of rosé. When we pointed out that we never received clean glasses, the manager came over and told us he had watched us finish the rosé. So, he knew we swapped the bottle but still chose to watch us drink from our old glasses instead of bringing new ones? After going back and forth, they refused to remove the charge. We asked to speak to someone else, and they told us to call or come in on Monday because they don't like to bother the GM on weekends--apparently, he only works Monday through Thursday. A general manager of a busy Gold Coast restaurant who doesn't work weekends? Really? I'm so disappointed. Dublin's used to be a place I loved and frequently recommended--I even work in the neighborhood. But after this experience? Never again. read more

A holdover from the age before the area got so fancy. This is my neighborhood bar and grill for when I just want good food without a whole scene. They make a lot more effort with the food than many comparable places. Standbys include the steak sandwich, waffle fries, and lamb shank. They do a very nice, thick cheeseburger. My favorite dish is the Gold Coast seafood salad, which is pretty great in both quality and quantity, especially when you consider the price point and the high-rent neighborhood. It does get very noisy, sometimes quite early in the day, and the waitstaff can be hit or miss. read more

We really liked this small pub in the city. We sat at the bar receiving friendly and prompt service even though they were quite busy on a Friday evening. We had our typical Guinness. I got the fish and chips which were really good. My husband got the hot chicken and fries which he liked. The bill was reasonable, and we were glad we made the trek out in the cold night to go there. read more
