Brehon Pub - Irish pub in Chicago - 731 N Wells St, USA

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 one table of four having food. The server did come over right away to get our drink order and food order but we were not ready yet, we had literally just sat down and started to look at the menu. My daughter went to wash her hands and the server came back during her absence and took my drink order. I ordered a half blue moon and half Guinness beer. The drink was cold and delivered quickly. The problem came when we did take a look at the menu and were ready to order. I tried twice to get the servers attention but she refilled the two people at the bars drinks, cashed out one of them and then began cleaning the table of the people who had finished their meal . She finally can over after some time and we ordered the eggs rolls and also the Irish nacho appetizer. The food was okay nothing note worthy not disappointing just satisfactory. The nacho chips were very good but there were way more toppings and not enough chips. The egg rolls were 4 small pieces and for the price it wasn't worth it. I think the cost should be cheaper, more items served or they could be made bigger. Overall, we were full when we left but our bill was $58 dollars for one beer, small egg rolls and a small dish of toppings w some chips. Please see photos. I guess if I lived in the neighborhood I would go here again but I would not plan to go here during a visit to the city. It's a nice place, old fashion decor for an Irish bar and overall good menu for a bar. The server was just okay not friendly but not attentive either. Okay, to sum this long review up give it a try if you are in the neighborhood and not in a hurry.

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!

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.

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 to enjoy a nice Monday Afternoon!! I give this place 5⭐️ Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5.5⭐️

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. Honestly the food is really good and the drinks will get you lol. If you go you're in good hands with the crew but also Nicole is the BEST!

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!

Good Irish pub in Gold Coast/ River North/ Old Town area. Great collection of beers and full alcohol bar available. We ordered Irish beers and Fish & Chips, Tater Tots, Steak Sandwich and Caesar Salad. Service was slow and music was very loud. They also have a pool table and darts available.

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
