I seriously doubt the owner of this place is Irish, they just no that the concept of an Irish themed bar will sell well in chicago, a real Irish bar owner would have people of Irish descent working at it, almost everybody who works here is mexican, I wouldn't surprised if the owner is Greek or Asian or something.

Doesn't get too packed and that's why I love it. The drinks are slightly over priced but the food is amazing!!! Love the staff. Great environment. Only thing is if you want to play music on the jukebox please use cash and do not download the app. All it does is take your money and not play your music.

I love Chicago Irish pubs! This one is great. I had a pretzel and cheese to start, it was delicious. Also I had the bacon cheeseburger and waffle fries. Also delicious. Our server was on it. I never had to ask for a refill. They have Coke products. Oh and their Cesar salad was awesome! More

  • Gina Adams

In town for a convention. Found Brehon Irish Pub for dinner and had the very best time. Felt like we were at home. The food and beer were awesome, the music was great and being able to watch multiple games made it even better. If you get to Chicago you MUST go to Brehon Irish Pub! More

I went inside to ask the bartender if I could sit outside, she said yes. 30 minutes waiting for the server to come and take my order. Actually, I left because she never came, as she was too busy chatting with the customers. I would probably still be waiting if I hadn't left. More

  • Philip David

I loved this place! Me and my girlfriend stopped in one day for a bite to eat. The service was great, and the food was delicious. You have to try the mussels in a spicy white wine tomato sauce paired with a hoegaarden beer. *chefs kiss* perfection. Will be coming back More

  • Torrance Anthony

Casual Pub usually a bit a short staffed at the bar but they work hard and the food comes out fast when you order. Wednesdays offer $5 sliders during Happy Hour, low on cost and big on taste. It's definitely an easy choice . Check my post on Instagram at @T_lovesfood …

I was recommended this place by a friend to try their mac and cheese. It was honestly the best mac and cheese I've ever had. I don't know what they did, but wow. I would encourage everyone to give it a try. The bartender was very friendly and the service was very quick.

Just a blue collar worker trying to get a beer after work. But Sammy Don pansas(bartender)(nopal en la frente)wouldn't even look over even though I was right in front of him for 20 minutes. Luckily, owner was next to me and noticed and served me himself. More

Pretty solid Irish pub, good for a quick stop and drink. Has a bit of a secretive back area which is nice and quiet most nights. Sometimes hard to get service. Has a pool table. Haven't tried the food personally, but it looks and smells quite good. More

What can I say about this cozy little gem hidden in River North?… well I can tell you that the food was amazing! The service was friendly & fast and… what a perfect little spot to watch a game. Thank you for being here and giving us a place

  • Cyn G

This is the place that becomes your go to neighborhood spot. The more you go there more you get on with the regulars and the amazing team that works there. The vibes and the crew are unmatched, the nachos with waffles fries are phenomenal.

I visited this bar as part of the Lucky Charms bar crawl. Horrible experience and service. It was completely packed to the point of being difficult to move and there were 2 bar tenders. There was also an old man working whom I asked for a

This is a great "dive" bar in the river north. Well as dive bar as a river north bar can be. The staff are all great. The food that I have had here is great. Prices are fair for the area. Has a nice pool table and dart board. It's perfect

I was there with my friends and one of my friends purchased a few songs on the music machine. I totally understand turning down music that is too loud but this is a bar setting! Not a fine dining restaurant to where the sound needs to be

My daughter and I decided to try this bar/restaurant based on our view of the menu online. We were going to be in that part of Chicago for an event so we stopped in around 4pm. Upon arriving there were two people at the bar drinking and

Been frequenting this place when it was the Mirage way back in late 70's, then renamed to Brehons at the conclusion of the sting operation that snared a number of city inspectors - place gets better, better as it ages More

One of the better Dives in the neighborhood, pool, darts and a HUGE patio. Food is surprisingly good, and service is prompt. Bartender Jenny was super fast even though the bar was full. Will def be coming back. More

As a Guinness lover I was very excited to try one from a classic Irish pub in Chicago. I can promise that this pub offers a really authentic pub experience - filled with Guinness lovers. My pour was spot on. More

  • Adam Ryburn

Came specifically to get an Irish pun experience. Yes, I know I’m in Chicago, so I get was I get. As always, Guinness was awesome! Fish and chips could be less soggy.

Ok! The music and the ambience/Service are a 5 but the food Tasted like it was Pre-made or canned. :( and the total for 2 was $75 + tips.
