Voted one of the “Top 10 Best Irish Pubs in the U.S.” by MSNBC in 2010, The Irish Oak is the ideal blend of Old World Irish tradition coupled with a Chicago sports bar feel. The Irish Oak features daily Gaelic specialties, authentic whiskey, and perfect pints. Most of the interior, including two full bars, have been imported directly from Ireland, creating an experience as authentic as its Guinness.

The Irish Oak is open Tuesday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m., Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. The bar is open every day of the week come Cubs season and opens two hours early for home games.
