Elevated Irish pub grub and one-pot meals make this wood-heavy nook a hit with the upper 20s, beer-and-shot crowd.
 Trevor and Micheal O'Donoghue, siblings who called the Green Isle home, managed to fashion a classy, stylish pub that stands out from the myriad of like-minded Irish joints in Chicago. Diners wind through the multi-level space, which is brandished with compass-inspired details, artsy flower arrangements and cushy leather booths, to procure better-than-average ale-battered onion rings and nicely poured black and tans. Chili-rubbed grilled shrimp with basil aïoli is addictive, but the kettle-fried fish is limp and lacking in flavor. A better bet is the homey chicken potpie, meatloaf, shepherd's pie or traditional Irish breakfast, a veritable smorgasbord with bacon, sausages, potatoes, eggs, beans and a slab of butter. |
