The Kerryman
Effortlessly dancing the line between raucous sports bar and casually elegant eatery, The Kerryman will suit you whether you’ve come for a Notre Dame game or just a fish and chips and cold beer fix out on the lush, jungle-like patio.

The Kerryman isn’t just one of Chicago’s liveliest Irish pubs, it’s also home to one of the wildest stories any Chicago bar can boast, and that’s saying something. It began its life as a hangout for Chicago’s most notorious gangsters post-Chicago fire, then became the city’s largest strip club, before becoming the nexus of the Chicago punk movement, hosting bands like Husker Du and the Dead Kennedys. You wouldn’t know it, however, looking at its beautiful, cozy, multi-leveled interior, however. A lush patio, a menu packed with upscale Irish classics, and a wide drink selection make The Kerryman a must-visit not just on St. Patrick’s Day, but the rest of the year too.
