Great little corner bar, nice building, the street it's on has a "Main Street USA" feel and the front patio overlooks it all. It's a nice place, open, friendly and inviting. Here's the skinny: Doesn't accept credit or debit cards but, there's an ATM. You can "order in" food. Huge selection of liquors. Decently priced drinks. Awesome decor, very comfy cozy and warm. Here's the fat: It was damn cold outside, I walked into a seriously warm environment. Lord it felt good! Teehan's doesn't accept ANY kind of credit card but, there is an excessively charging ATM in the corner. Unless you're Don Trump, bring some greenbacks. Even though they don't have a kitchen, they do allow you to order in or bring food in, pretty cool actually since there are a variety of local food stops around. Teehan's has a nice selection of liquor stocked. Tey even had something called "Cow Pie" but, I was NOT feelin' froggy enough to try it first time around... OR the second... probably not the 10th either. It's probably not "terrible" but, just because it's named Cow Pie, I'm going to stay away from it. Drinks are priced reasonably, $3.50 or $4.50 for an import. Not sure what Domestics are but, they're probably cheap. Glenn Fiddich - $7.50 for a double on the rocks with a twist BTW. There is a lot of Irish decor. I especially like the "Nothing is to good for the Irish" sign above the bar. Lighting is great, very tranquil, and the Tiffany style lights(look up) give the place a nice flair. The only faults I can find is that the men's room doesn't have a door to the errr... how shall I put it... "Number Two" stall and the bathroom is a bit dated in general. I'll come back from time to time, can't wait to see what it's like in the summer months. #SYOY! read more

Horrible service. Bartender and.1 waitress 4 people in the place 2 at the bar 2 at the table. Had to keep going to bar for more drinks. Waitress standing at bar and munching on snacks. read more

Bar is fine but food is what to expect from a bar. Smash burger is not a smash burger. If you like a foodservice frozen patty the you will love it. read more

This place has the worst service I have EVER encountered. We walked in on a very slow Sunday afternoon for the bears game. There was a total of 14 people in this bar. No one greeted us, we sat at an empty table and waited 10 minutes before my husband just went to the bar to order drinks. Even then no one asked if we'd like to order food or needed anything. Really a missed opportunity as we don't eat pizza and we're planning to order wings and a burger- we opted not to once we realized no one even cared we were there. We moved from the city and work in hospitality - so maybe we're used to quicker, polite and welcoming service. Or to see bartenders and waitresses that work well and are inclusive. We witnessed various potential costumers walk in and walk right back out when no one greeted them or sat them down. Another missed opportunity to generate more money. We did have the drinks and they were really good, they bartender took long to make but it's not the city so we figured they're just not as prepared to work in a fast paced environment - this is a beautiful space and I wish we would have had a better experience, as I'll be hesitant to return. We walked over to JW and got sat down and order taken in a matter of seconds. Do Better read more

Great place to go for a night out. Our bartenders Meghan and Jess suggested some fun and delicious cocktails . They brought the energy we needed for a fun girls night. The food and drinks were on point. We will definely be back! read more

Teehan's - Oak Park Ave Margarita - Dive Bars Near Me - Tinley Park, Illinois

RIP to the old Teehan's. The pictures and reviews you'll find floating around on this page are from the original place--classic dive bar vibes, and honestly, it was amazing back in the day. Things have changed. New owners (the folks from Durbins), new building, new atmosphere... but same name. The new spot is definitely beautiful--upscale, polished, and clearly aiming for a different crowd. And that's fine--it fits the area's direction. Emmy the bartender was great, our waitress was chill, and even the two dudes in tight shirts were cool. But word of advice: don't mention the old Teehan's or use the word "bougie" around the short woman with the huge rock on her finger. She will stop mid-conversation, materialize out of thin air, and show you the door. Literally. I didn't even know where she came from! After we left on our own (and headed to Holsteins..hate to say it, but it's way better than this new Teehans), we heard she might be the niece of the owner or something? Either way, it was a weird vibe. Nothing wrong with being bougie or upgrading the place--I was just making a comment on how different it is now compared to the dive bar we knew and loved. Didn't realize opinions weren't allowed. Honestly, if the new concept is this different, maybe it's time for a fresh name too. Most locals still associate "Teehan's" with what was. Also... if you're going to kick someone out, at least have the decency to look at them while doing it. Props to the rest of the staff for being cool and welcoming. Maybe "shorty" should take a page from their book. read more

Wasn't impressed. Went on st. Patrick's day afternoon, no signage. Sat down, only to be told that that have no food, but we can order from Durban's down the street-um, no. Sorry we made the trip. read more

Tequila and me don't get along but whatever magic is in this.. it is pure HEAVEN!! Jess made this for me Monday night and between her upbeat energy and this margarita. It definitely turned my frown upside down.. thank you Jess, I'll be back for more! read more

Do not come here. My friends and I were denied service upon entry to the bar. When we asked the bouncer why, he stated "I do not need to give you any reason". We then asked to speak to a manager, and they would not go and get the manager for us to talk to. My friends and I gave zero reason whatsoever to be denied service, we were in the bar for three seconds. Horrible bar, do not come here read more

Súper fan everybody is happy is the perfect place for have fun and enjoy the time with friends read more

Nice Irish pub, adequate parking off the street, good Guinness, bartender was easy on the eyes!

Bouncer looks like Kid Rock on meth, and sits and tells patrons on tough he is....bahahaaahaaaaaa! Bartender was a very nice and pretty woman. Had a good time hanging on my own. read more

was hesitate to post a review until I saw an earlier review that pretty much had the same experience. Nice friendly waitress, but a total AH bouncer. Big dude who still thinks he's on the football team. Suffice it to say our group will not be returning unless they lose this jerk. read more

Nice little neighborhood bar. Bartenders and patrons always seem pretty friendly. Beer selection is pretty good and reasonably priced. A great spot to wait for the Metra to come while getting in some good beer and good conversation. read more

The outside does not match the inside. Outside looks nice and classy, inside is a dive bar without a door on the men's toilet stall, dirty, and a mix match of tables, old flooring, cheap bar stools. Oh and the place is cash only. With all that, people are friendly, ok place to chill for a drink or 2. read more

time to hire new bartenders. terrible service. they always seem to be uninterested in the customer and more interested in socializing with each other. read more

My favorite spot in the area. The bartenders are always very prompt and polite. In the few altercations I've seen take place the bouncers were quick to make their presence known. Atmosphere is nice. Beer is priced well. Have yet to have to pay a cover. I would like to add that there is no stall door in the men's bathroom which can be awkward and unpleasant at times and there is limited seating. I like the fact that they play the Hawks games. Enter thirsty, leave satisfied. read more

We got stranded in Tinley Park after a concert when the trains and buses weren't running anymore. The staff was super nice about answering our questions and helping us get home. Nice atmosphere and cheap drinks too! read more

Teehans is your typical neighborhood pub. If you frequent there enough, you will find that the same people grace the bar stools and chat with the bar tenders. I am a fan of the dollar drafts on a casual night out. read more

Good local dive bar. Cash only, darts, golden tee and a bunch of mismatched chairs and tables. Being a resident of tinley, but not having grown up here, I can say Teehans definitely has a townie feel to it. Not that, as an outsider, I was out of place or unwelcome. It was just more than obvious that I wasn't one of them. Stop in before they tear it down and put in a movie theater. read more

Rapidly becoming my favorite TP hangout. Decent prices, always somewhere to sit, they don't care if you eat your taco bell while you drink your drinks, and the security is ON POINT. read more

1$ Drafts everyday! You can't beat that. My only issue is that they don't turn the jukebox on until 7. It's a good neighborhood bar though

While closing out my tab, the handwriting on the specials board was nice and the bartender made fun of my with one of the customers about commenting on the board. This is an unfriendly place and there's a reason why no one goes here. Awful bar on oak park ave. read more

I mean, if you have nowhere else to go $1 beers are good. Just don't expect to meet any women.

Great Irish pub..... Been going here for years.... Friendly staff that is very engaging..... Dark n shit hole-y just how I like it.... Feel free to drink as much as you'd likr read more

I work in the city but live in Tinley so I had friends coming out to have drinks. Me and a friend made it here first. The bouncer carded us(oops I left my ID in the car). Went out got it and came back. We went to the bathroom to see if the girls found the place and they were turned around so we went to meet them on the corner. The bouncer began to berate myself and my friend yelling out at us that place wasn't a public rest room and never to come back. I was like really? he continued to yell out at us as we stepped outside. More than rude very poor customer service so we went across the street to enjoy some beers and Hollsteins and was a much better choice. Big boy with a loud mouth needs to have a reality check on public decency. read more

best part on oak park ave. Great beer specials staff is very friendly. Best part is the no cover unlike the other bars on that street. My friends and I will be returning very shortly. Keep up the good work read more

Been in teehans so many times.. don't get the draft beer just order bottles, it is a dive bar with some weirdo customers.. they don't serve food but will let u bring in takeout! The bartender are so nice and they work very hard on busy nights! Teehans is a stamp on oak park ave! Go check it out if ur looking for a dive read more

went to another bar before this one and went here because the drinks were not to bad on prices and it was fun to play the darts and not have a huge crowd of people at 1130pm on a friday in january. it was very cold that night so it was not a bad place to play and have 2 drinks and left to another bar. it was ok but it would not be my first choice on a place for friends on a weekend read more

I went here with my Wife and Family. Before I moved to NYC, I loved this place. The Hawks just won and we were on our way to meet some old friends because we were in town. My wife didn't get in because her ID was expired (understandable but we didn't know). She went outside, and I talked to the bouncer, explaining we were here for ten minutes and she just needed to use the bathroom. He said he didn't want to argue, I agreed, and then he forcefully grabbed me by my shirt and literally threw me out. I was even more than insulted and very much disrespected. All he could've done was explained the rules why they couldn't let her in, instead, he made a horrible fool of me and I wasn't giving him any reason too. I even explained to him that I wasn't arguing, i simply wanted my wife to use the bathroom. After this, my brother went to talk to the manager and received the same service (meaning she told him to fuck off and everyone in the bar wanted to fight him afterwards). We defended ourselves when needed but gave no intention of causing conflict or reason for the employees to treat us the way they did. What I'm really upset about was that now instead of a great memory of being back in town when the Hawks win the Cup, instead I have to be reminded of when I was simply trying to solve a problem and was instead thrown out without reason in a very aggressive way. My family and friends have been going to this place for many years and I was completely insulted and disrespected to be treated like this. Horrible experience and this is coming from someone who grew up right in town and used to love this place. It's been a few hours since the incident, and I will not recommend this place to anyone and I had my bachelor party here. I'm calling the owner tomorrow morning. read more

Teehans reminds me of a lot of southside bars, small nice wood bar and ambiance. A definite chill bar, a good mix of older and younger but each time I've been there it hasn't been great for finding girls. It seems like a place to meet up with friends before you go out. I went here based on the Chicago Irish band the Tossers song about the bar, and ultimately I have to say it was a good experience. read more
