 The Irish Oak Restaurant Review: Don your Notre Dame gold and blue and you’ll be in the majority at this near-Wrigley restaurant that features live music and a menu of Irish-inflected bar basics. Choices run from beer-battered pickles and "Irish Nachos" (criss-cut fries topped with cheddar, bacon, scallions and sour cream) to Guinness stew, sandwiches and burgers. More authentic fare includes the shepherd’s pie topped with white cheddar and fish ‘n’ chips. A Greek chicken pita and mini corndogs are not-so-Irish options. For dessert, there's a Guinness float with vanilla ice cream. Daily specials save tons of dough.
