I've been to Lady Gregory's three times; the first two times were great and the last time was unfortunate. I had loved this place because of the old-school library kind of vibe, the variety of drinks and dishes, and because it felt like a great place to sit and people watch or catch up with friends. Service is always very prompt and friendly, even when you have larger groups. I also love that they have a good variety of vegetarian options (and have a vegetarian menu to make it easier to see everything at once). I'd previously had the fish and chips and the salmon dinner which I relished. The third time I decided to order a cup of tomato soup and the salmon again. The tomato soup was divine: totally perfect soup with the right amount of basil on top (although I wanted some crustier bread to dip in it). Then my salmon arrived: the cut of the fish was different than other filets I'd had. The beurre blanc sauce was pretty thin and lifeless. My asparagus weren't trimmed enough so the ends were very toothsome, and the mashed potatoes were inconsistently salted so I'd get one bland bite and one salty bite. I couldn't finish it. My partner got the buddha bowl and opted to add tofu. It's pretty ridiculous that you have to pay $5 to add tofu to a vegan dinner option, especially as it's already $16. He said it was mostly a plate of mush but he liked the peanut glaze. He ended up not eating much of it either. We both had upset stomachs that evening and felt awful the next day. I would go back to Lady Gregory's for drinks and to hang, and for that tomato soup, but that's it. read more

Had such highs hopes for this place! Went for lunch because of the dedicated gluten friendly menu, which is a plus. The food sounded really good, but did not hold up. Burger was eh. Fries arrived cold. Requested sauce did not come. Their water is by request only, which is disclosed, so I have no issue with. Except that we had to request it multiple times and it took about a half hour to get one. And that tend unfortunately continued, which is why it only gets two stars even though the atmosphere was nice, drinks were good, and they did have solid gluten free options. The service tipped it all over the edge -- terribly slow, and we were not there during a busy time. By the end, it was just us and a couple of tables left in the place, but we still had to extend our parking twice just trying to get and pay the check. When the waitress did not her 20% tip at the end (which I can't believe possibly could have been expected by that point, and she was not stiffed by any means), she threw the receipt on the table and marched off without a word. read more

It's been a very long time since I've been to Lady Gregory's, but when I was looking for delivery it came up online. Recently I've ordered a few times and they're pretty good. I've been getting the blackened chicken sandwich, which surprised me because I'm not a huge fan of chicken sandwiches but this is really good. It's also huge; I can only eat half at a time and save the rest of it for another meal. My partner gets the buddha bowl with chicken which he likes a lot. The chicken pot pie looks good too but I haven't broken from the chicken sandwich yet. I've also gotten soup several times and they are really good. The tomato basil is what I've ordered most but I also ordered the mulligatawny soup when it was the soup of the day and it was fantastic. I've never had mulligatawny before but now I'm looking for a recipe so that I can add it to my soup rotation. read more

I've been here many times for drinks, but this year for my birthday I decided that I wanted chicken pot pie and this was the place I came to have it. BEST CHOICE EVER. First of all, the chicken pot pie was EXCELLENT. I didn't even need any salt/pepper or condiment. It was legit perfect as is. My friend had fish/chips and said it was some of the best fish/chips she's ever had outside of the UK. They brought me out the dessert of my choice to celebrate my birthday, of which they had a great menu (I got the First Slice Key Lime Pie) but the best part was that it was brought out with a sparkler, really makes a girl feel special. I love you, Lady Gregory's! read more

I've actually never ever shared a review, esp one that isn't positive- but I kind of feel like I have to. I had 2 Negronis and no food, and the total was 45 dollars with tax but not tip. it really surprised me. I'm not sure if it's a new thing for lady Gregory's (which is not a fancy cocktail bar) to charge this much, but I decided to go down the street to an actual fancy cocktail bar, will's, to compare prices. at lady greg's I paid 22.5, per cocktail, including tax and not tip. At will's- a much higher quality cocktail was 16, which is more what I was expecting from lady Greg's and actually think will's could charge more like 18. read more

My friend recommended this restaurant and it was phenomenal. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted. We were seated right away. Our waiter was amazing! Ryan took our order for drinks and food. He checked in on us and it was wonderful service. Clean location. I would come back for sure! I ordered the lavender Paloma, take out burger and Mac and cheese. Best burger I've had in a really long time. Loved the bacon in the cheese, recommend it all. read more

This is one of those neighbor places I think about going to, but usually don't due to the crowds. That section of Clark Street is always nuts and me trying to deal with that is a no go. They do have reservations on OpenTable but only for parties of 6 and above, so the rest of us have to suffer and wait in line. But on this particular Friday, the stars were in alignment: we were at The Hopleaf for drinks, walked down that way to Jenni's for the Yelp Elite event and then back to get something to eat. We didn't have a reservation at Lady Gregory's, but For whatever reason, there was no waiting, so we wandered in. We were seated right away in a window seat, which was great as I am still that person who doesn't like sitting on top of others....was that way before COVID. The Doctor and I stared with the Cheddar Artichoke Dip. It came with toasted bread. Can't say it was a favorite. For me the cheddar cheese did not work well as it masked the flavor of the artichoke. This is not something I would order again....live and learn. For dinner I got the Drive Thru Burger with fries (double cheeseburger, caramelized onion, special sauce, greens, tomato, pickle, butter bun). I got it without the special sauce and asked for mustard instead. Let me tell you, that burger was gooooood! Man I will just let you know, when I have something that rocks my world, I be dreaming about it days after the fact (bad grammar intended!). Don't know if this is how they prepare this burger every time or if the stars were in alignment during the preparation, but it was delish! The Doctor got the Chicken Pot Pie and I have to tell you Yelp fam, it was actually good. Most places do not, I repeat, do not season their chicken or the sauce or veggies for this dish. It is typically a bland gravy thang with dough. This was seasoned nicely, with a flakey pastry dough top instead of a pie crust topping. Our server was just so adorable! Didn't get her name but totally will ask for her by face the next time I go there. She waited on The Doctor and some of his work buddies at an earlier event and completely remembered him, as well as from other visits. She wanted to know why I was coming in with him; explained to her that for those work events, I usually pass so the EEs can talk Electrical Engineering stuff. Because The Doctor celebrated 40 years of working at his company, our server gave us a free dessert: a warm apple pie with ice cream....think it was a special. It was good, but a little on the sweet side for me, but The Doctor loved it. Thank you to universe for allowing me to discover Lady Gregory again...without your help, I would not have stepped foot in that place, but glad I did. Now I am going to be mad if I go there and can't get in again to get that burger. read more

Great food and drinks, just sucks that they don't serve food late night. They have great options on the menu from Vegan to carnivore.

Nice place. Good service at the bar. I had the grilled cheese which was a perfect call on national grilled cheese day. They pour a proper guinness and even get the 3 leaf clover in the head. The place is chicago pricey though. Also they add some universal service fee to your bill. It was only a buck but cheese and rice just roll the cost into the 9.00 draft beer. read more

Floored by how big the chicken pot pies were! I was so jealous of my friends for ordering it. I got the macaroni and cheese and it was still fantastic; warm and nostalgic with just the right consistency for me. I was incredibly full afterwards so they really give you your money's worth! The Irish coffee is listed as a dessert menu item but I just got it upfront. It was perfectly balanced in sweetness (as it should be!) Overall great service and great food. It was a little crowded and dark inside so I couldn't hear at times, but that didn't bother us. - AT read more

Have been here several times but have not done a review! This is a solid choice when you want great food, great service, a nice clean and cozy environment (with indoor and outdoor seating weather permitting) and solid drinks. The whole experience! Now this evening unfortunately the rosemary chicken entree which is my absolute favorite - was sold out! I was so sad! But ordered the salmon which was tasty too. My partner had the red curry vegetable dish which was good as well. Highly recommend that Rosemary chicken tho! And we had the key lime pie for dessert which was really delicious also! read more

I got lunch with two people and were all very pleased. It was my first time at lady Gregory and I will say I liked the vibe. The food was very tasty. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the Brussels sprouts. They were by far my favorite dish! The service was pretty good they checked in often. And the overall ambiance made you feel like you were in a different era. And a side not the music was Excellent here! read more

The vibe was summer hits playing in the background featuring Olivia Rodrigo's "Obsessed" and Chappell Roan's "Red Wine Supernova". They easily accommodated our party of 10 during a Friday lunchtime in a back library-esque room with large windows. We were amped to try the Deviled eggs especially since they were gluten-free. They had a fried garlic piece on top as well as chili oil. I've got to give them props for being innovative. If you go on their website there is a gorgeous photo of a hamburger with caramelized onions and I realized I needed it in my life. It was beautiful, fluffy, cooked perfectly, and a little sweetness from the caramelized onions. You have to be in the mood for a full, heavy meal to eat here. Quotes from my friends after finishing their meal were "I feel like a beach ball" and "Could take a nap right about now". There is tons of outdoor seating and you probably have higher chances of getting seated here compared to the nearby Parson's Chicken or Pizza Lobo because Lady Gregory's has so much seating. The service has always been right on time and extremely professional. read more

For sure I wanted to like this Andersonville restaurant and there's certainly good things about it. If looking for burgers or something vegan they have both covered on the menu. Lady Gregory's is a pretty nice looking place and has a noticeable but not overpowering hipster atmosphere. As such, it's reflected in the menu costs. This is another review complaining about prices. Came with a few others and got some drinks and food. I had to limit myself after seeing the prices. The stuff was good but not that good though. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. That wasn't surprising. About average for around here. I got the Cinnamon Apple Tart. Basically it's like hard apple cider. This is made with elderflower, lemon, and your choice of whiskey. Good idea but poor execution. It seemed kind of weak. As for the food, it was even more expensive. There's lots of meat and some plant based options. I got the Impossa Burger. It's $18 but thankfully it was bigger than I expected. Then there were more fees on top of this. Of course tax, but also a credit card transaction fee. This place takes care to nickel and dime its customers, and if you get delivery then surprise, that's another few bucks on top. Got to say the drinks and food aren't that bad. It has a pretty large selection of beers, liquor, and wines, and some are actually pretty affordable at times. The food menu is even more expensive, but there's a few choices for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Classic pub in Andersonville - great for dinner or just to grab a drink and apps/dessert. The chicken pot pie and curry pot pie are fantastic, I also really enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake. Service is always fantastic and friendly. The interior has a traditional pub vibe, the back room is especially cozy and has a great stained glass window on the ceiling. Definitely a good place to check out for a hearty meal or a drink if you're in Andersonville. read more

What a better way to celebrate St Patrick's Day than an Irish Brunch at @ladygregorys * scrambled eggs with side salad and sweet potatoes * Ranchero Bowl * Fried Calamari * Octopus Salad * Spinach and Artichoke salad * Chicken Pot Pie * Buddha Bowl * Fish and Chips * Roasted Rosemary Chicken * Blackened Chicken Club The vibe there is always so relaxing it's just a chill place to take sober friends and go hang out especially when you can sit at the library area it's so beautiful there with the windows and natural light! The service there is always really nice and accommodating! read more

Bar/restaurant- came in on a Saturday early evening with reservations, but it wasn't necessary. The menu is very accommodating for gluten free options. We each ordered our own meal but shared Brussels Sprouts. The Brussels Sprouts were perfectly charred, but I could've did with less ranch dressing. Buddha Bowl was a little to wet, but the flavors were light and plenty of veggies. The salmon was a tad dry, but it worked considering the Buddha Bowl was liquidity. Just okay French Onion Soup (Gluten-free marked with an American flag). Service could've been better and not the most friendly, but it was fine. read more

We dined at Lady Gregory's on June 10th in the middle of a festival, and I was impressed by how on the ball the staff and our waiter was. I didn't have high expectations for quick service, or the best dining experience since everyone was so busy, but I was surprised. Our beverages were tasty and well done. Each of us in our party of three chose drinks off their cocktail menu especially for the festival. For dinner I had their French onion soup and a salad, our daughter had a burger with sweet potato fries, and my husband had the Buddha Bowl. Everything was nicely done. The décor and ambience is also quite lovely. We look forward to visiting again. read more

My coworkers and I (group of 10) arrived around noon and were promptly sat for our reservation. The vibes are super cozy but still bright, which is a great balance. Drink orders were taken and came out quickly! Our appetizers/meals were paced perfectly. The artichoke dip was my first ever that had potatoes in it and I must say I have no complaints. My coworker and I split the fish & chips (not pictured) and the salmon. Both were absolutely delightful. The salmon with the lemon sauce was bright yet filling. Fish and chips were probably the best I've had, cooked to perfection and the dipping sauce was almost drinkable. Would 100% recommend. I plan on returning once I'm no longer pregnant and can enjoy a nice pint with the food! read more

Looking for an Irish gastropub in Chicago? Lady Gregory's is the place! It's namesake comes from Irish author Lady Gregory, and has a happening atmosphere the minute you walk into the door. I personally prefer their outdoor seating on Clark, which is Andersonville's main thoroughfare . Enjoy such classics like Fish and Chips and Chicken Pot pie. The inside has a cool, boisterous vibe. #irish #pub #chicago read more

Lady Gregory's hosted a milestone birthday party in their wine room for my husband and about a dozen guests. They booked the room, not able to guarantee I'd get it until the night before, but I'm so glad I got it because 2 people in the party are hard of hearing and the restaurant is fun, but lively and loud. The wine room was PERFECT for this group. Our server was polite, efficient, helpful and enthusiastic about making the entire event special and the FOOD was Incredible. We had guests who traveled as far as California to get to this event and the whole team at Lady Gregory's made it a very special event. Thank you very much. I HIGHLY recommend Lady Gregory's in Andersonville! read more

We came here after walking out of Big Jones down the street. We have been here a few times, with good results. It's the 'feminine' answer to Wilde off Belmont. Apparently she and Oscar Wilde were good friends and she was an author in her own right. Anyway, Linda our waitstaff was funny and wry, almost like the very old Ed Debevic's place, where good natured razzing was part of the atmosphere. Our drinks and food came quickly. My local Empirical Lumen lager was pretty good. We had veggie curried pot pie, a Buddha Bowl with tofu, mac n cheese, and salmon. All was good, still a little pricey. At one point, Linda turned on the fireplace behind us. It was a warm night but it was kinda chilly in there, I had a wrap on my shoulders. IT was a nice touch of heat and atmosphere. I remarked that it was funny that in August the feel of heat was welcome. Linda turned it off at that point. I said it was fine to leave on, and they joked (?) that they would think about it and walked away. That seemed odd but ok. I didn't notice the credit card fee as Jayne mentioned until the next day. After a lengthy absence (which was fine) Linda checked us out individually via the hand held bill machine. The mood at that point was a little different, but we were ready to leave anyway. We had a nice time but don't live close, so we will come back but only if we are in that area. read more

A very nice meal - excellent fish and chips. The server was quite attentive and staff was going around to see if people were finishing up (kinda weird).

I'm writing this review specifically about their gluten-free menu. Their GF fish and chips is lovely, their GF Mac and cheese is fine, but their GF buns are inedible and crumble, especially in comparison to many other places. Additionally, they downsized the Greens GF beer from large bottles to small cans, but still charge a premium for all gluten free beer ($12.50 vs $8 for a regular can of beer). Between the food, tax, surcharge for card, and tip, somehow a subpar GF double-patty burger with an inedible bun (+$.50) and can of beer costs roughly $45, I think. I can't give a singular review of the service, because I've experienced everything ranging from excellent, to "my dish took nearly 30 minutes and came out after obviously being under heating lamp for half that time". I appreciate the existence of the GF menu, sensitivity to allergies and separate fryers, but the fact that I am unable to eat the entire bun (and have given feedback repeatedly for a significant period of time) means that I must remove it from my rotation of local restaurants to frequent and suggest to other GF diners. This is not a one time occurrence - I've given them the benefit of the doubt too many times. I am no longer grateful for restaurants simply offering gluten-free options, especially when they come at a steep premium, and are inedible. I write this review with the sincere hope they will improve, but as it stands, I've left unsatisfied too many times. read more

First of all, the food isn't bad at all - a mish-mash of English and American pub standards. Liquor choices aren't bad at all. The problem: we received someone else's food in a carry-out mix-up. They issued a gift card, which is okay. Unfortunately, the gift card had no value on it. Several calls and visits finally yielded a replacement gift card with a verified value. Eady, right? Went to use the same gift card today, and over $40 of value has vanished from the card. The food is good, but I'd strongly advise against getting carryout - you're pretty much screwed if they make a mistake read more

I love this place. It hits all the things you need in a local bar. They have always friendly service, seat you promptly, cosy areas to slide into for a couple hours or hang out at a high top.

Every time I've been here the food has been amazing. Truly delicious! I love their pot pie. It is so good and it really warms you up. The cocktails are continually delicious. The only thing that is consistently an issue is the wait time for drinks. I believe we have been there about 4 or 5 times and every time we are there, we always wait about 15 - 20 min for our drinks. It can be a cocktail or as simple as a beer. Maybe have another bartender? Unsure what causes this issue, but prepared to wait on your drink! read more
