Cozy decor, friendly staff, feels authentic! 8/19/2009

Wow, this is the best Irish bar in town in my opinion. I've been to Dublin and feel it could be placed there and the Irish would not know the difference! The staff is amazing, especially Sarah and Gail. They are polite and offer great service but are so much fun. The food, while I was skeptical at first, turned out to be pretty damn good for a bar. Highly recommend this for either a fun night out or a lunch out with your friends. Pros: Feels like you are in Ireland Cons: Nothing I can think of! more

Best Corned Beef Sandwiches! 9/6/2007

My friends and I came into town to watch the Cubs game from Los Angeles. After the game we stumbled into The Irish Oak just looking for a beer before we went home. A couple of beers later we ordered some food from the menu. Everything we ordered was great but the Corned Beef Sandwich & The Shepherd's Pie were the best we ever tasted! The service was great too! Sarah, our bartender was very cool. She was helpful in recommending food from the menu and drinks from the bar. Our short 6 hour stay at The Irish Oak was one of the best parts of our trip to Chicago. Pros: Great food and beer selection. more

You kiddin' me??? 6/5/2004

On the off chance you leave BEFORE the end of a Cub game, GO HERE. The atmosphere is unmatched and whether the back is open or not, the Pints flow!!! The earlier you get there on game day the better your view (of everybody). Not a pick up place but the best at sit down, drink, enjoy, converse, and did I say enjoy? Pros: Service, Drinks, Atmosphere more

None Better in Wrigleyville! 11/24/2002

On the Wrigleyville strip where most bars are competing to be the most trendy, The Oak just feels more like home. The staff is very friendly and extremely attentive. The Irish Stew is the best I've ever eaten! The live music never fails to please and they serve up a mean pint of Guinness that's hard to top unless you travel to Europe. The decor is authentic which, with everything considered, makes the Oak a true Irish pub. Pros: Great Service!, Excellent Food, Friendly Staff Cons: Drunk Cubs Fans more

Best Irish Bar in Chicago 8/18/2002

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer and excellent food. Real Irish band on Wednesday nights and regular music / bands on Friday and Saturdays. In staggering distance of Wrigley Field, must be the best place in a large radius for an excellent night out. Pros: atmospheric, music, good food Cons: no outdoors area more
