O'Shaughnessy's Public House - Chicago, Illinois

Great little local spot that's always busy when a game is one. Theres a great mix of classic Irish/UK dishes and some local stuff, mostly Mexican because this is Chicago lol. The soup (tomato, chicken and vegetable) and beans on toast was good, but their corned beef is the best I've ever had! Staff is also very friendly and attentive.

Great Irish Breakfast, my waitress was very kind. When I first walked in (after checking the hours), I thought the place was closed. I was ignored by the bar tender and two gentlemen at the bar. I almost left, but I am a sucker for a good Irish Breakfast. The food was very good, but I felt like I was intruding on a secret meeting area 🤣

Jimmy the bar tender was your traditional style irish bar guy. Cool. Chill. Very attentive. I ordered the southwest salad. Ya. I know. Let it go. The salad was solid! Ordered the cider which is awesome as always!

We come here several times a year and have for the last eight years. But we haven't been here since December. Something or someone has changed in the kitchen. Our Don Poncho burger had hardly any toppings on it. You couldn't tell it was supposed to be a special burger. And for a $17+ burger? Just meat and bun more or less. The buffalo cauliflower is a smaller portion now, too. I really hope it was just an off night because we really love this place.

That said, the servers, who have been there as long as we've been going, were great like always.

Great Irish pub with a good drink selection and absolutely delicious food. They also have zero proof drinks for the n/a of us who still like to go out to the pub for a good time.

This place is so cute and cozy inside. The food was impressive for a pub! The chicken tenders were so crispy and well cooked, mashed potatoes were creamy, fries were crispy, and beyond burger was solid. The servers were friendly and helpful. Loved it!!

The staff was amazing and let us wait until our taxi came. The potato soup was delicious, but I wish my time wasn't limited so I could have finished my food. Additionally it was cool to see the remains of the locust parade in front of O'Shaughnessy's! Look closer at the pics!!!

Met up with a neighborhood friend at this restaurant and was very disappointed. First of all we had to wait for a table when other people were getting tables well before us. And then when we finally did get a and ordered drinks the drink that I received was very unpleasant, not good at all.

I was told when I asked for something else that the bad drink would have to remain on the bill otherwise the waiter would be responsible for it because a bad drink was not good enough for the restaurant to remove it. I have never heard of a practice like this in my life! The wine I had as a replacement was good so it's not as if I wasn't getting something else so I don't understand the explanation at all.

There are lots of great pubs in Chicago that a person can frequent... I would leave this one off the list!!
