Brehon Pub

Brehon Pub is one of Chcago's best neighborhood bars. The bartender Megan is the best in the city of Chicago. She always delivers service with a smile, the best drinks and the best pub food anywhere in Chicago. Everyone who knows Brehons goes because of Megan. We have been going for years and seen many bartenders here and she is tops. When we open a bar we are taking her with, sorry Romero. She is too good to be true.

So we stopped in this little hidden gem earlier this week when my company was in town for business.  It was quite a pleasant surprise!  I had the bruschetta as a snack....and it was amazing!!!  Not only was the food great, drinks tasty...but the service was great!  Our bartender Meg was so much fun!  She was not the typical Chicago "I think I'm better than you" bartender!! She was down to earth, funny, and prompt!  We intended on stopping in for a quick bite/drink and ended up staying for quite a few more...(not that anyone was counting ;)  She made us feel like we were at home, and by the end of our stay, we were friends with the other regulars!  We will definitely be back the next time we have business in Chicago!! Thanks Meg for the great time, our company appreciated it!

Been here two weekends in a row to play darts and enjoy the chill atmosphere. Even said it was my new favorite bar; not too crowded, has darts, a jukebox, I like their chicken enchilada soup good place to watch a game. Met another couple and shared some tasty banana-doughnut ice cream dessert to celebrate a birthday. But the one short-haired blonde bartender with the nose ring I think has ruined it for me.

She shouldn't have been busy, certainly didn't look busy, and it got to the point that I felt like I was wearing an invisibility cloak. Whatever. What pissed me off was that when I *politely* mentioned in a "just so you know" kind of way that my half-finished food was taken before I was finished without anyone asking, she said, "Well what do you want ME to do about it?" Ummm...holy cow! Really? For real, did I deserve a retort like that? Yikes!

After that she did her best to ignore me and make me feel like I was inconveniencing her by coming there all night. When my invisibility cloak malfunctioned at JUST the right time again, I ordered drinks and came back to pay for them several times and she was nowhere to be found. At last call, she served everyone but me and then told me no. Probably was behind the rude bouncer coming to tell us it was time to go even though everyone else wasn't getting talked to like that. I didn't even have a drink to finish like they did.

Everyone has a bad day and maybe this was hers, and I want to go back because I like this bar, but I'm scared of being treated so rudely for no reason at all. :(
