    Horrible service and one server actually was confrontational with our table when we asked what the service delay was.  The manager was not managing but bar tending by herself and we literally waited over 30 minutes to get a drink. It's not that they were short staffed that's how they roll here. Look at the other reviews and avoid this place like the plague.

    I like this place.  They have a nice patio outside.  The inside stinks like old beer, but the food is good.  I especially like, NO, love the cajun steak bites!!!  The corn beef sandwiches are really well done too.  Lots of meat.  Not too chewie.  Perfect toasted bread.  Everything else is just OK.  French fries being the weakest link.

    Now the service on the other hand, that's another thing.  If you are a heavy drinker, wether it's water, tea or booze, don't expect fast service.  They WILL forget about you. Seriously, we had to get another waiter to get our waiter who left for lunch break or whatever the case.

    We've tried this place a few times.  Groupon brought us in the first couple times and we liked it enough to go back without a deal.  Still, I wold not make the trek out just for this place.  If you have other things to do in the area, or want a nice ride, OK, but not just for the food.

    Overall, decent Irish American pub.  Hopefully they can work on the wait staff and smells.

    We have been to Kerry Piper 3 times now and I must say, the food is great. I would bump my rating up to 4 stars if they could just figure out their service situation. We went in on a Monday night this last time and the place was packed and there was only one server on! There was no manager anywhere to be found and we should have walked out after the first ten minutes but the server had waited on us before and he was a nice guy. I couldn't completely blame him for prob the worst service I've ever received because how is he expected to run a whole restaurant by himself? If it's like that the next time we go in, we are going to walk out.  People definitely have to try the toastie and the steak bites! The fried onions are the best!

    I love the Kerry Piper!

    Great beer, staff,, fresh food and casual fun atmosphere.  Everything is good.

    Know that when there is a band it does get loud.

    Can't wait for spring to sit outside.

    We went here with our kids on a Sunday night for dinner.  It's a cute Irish-kitschy place and the menu is pretty substantial (and kid-friendly), but the food and the service are really just ok. We did love this steak appetizer thing that we had, but otherwise it was standard very average pub fare.  And our service was slow, although they were pretty busy with a private party at the time.

    The good the not so good and the strange. First off, would we go back? Yes. Definitely. So here is our story and we are sticking to it.

    Very good. Shepherds pie. Irish Chicken Soup. Creme Brulee and Bread Pudding (especially when the ice cream comes with it) the bread (a story there also) Even the Iced Tea was very good.

    Not so good. The Irish stew. Just a "different" taste with the broth. The meat was OK, a little chewy but it may just not be our cup of tea as we dont claim to be experts on Irish stew. Others may like it just perfectly, but for us the seasoning of the broth was just not to our liking.

    Strange--Our waiter was a bit strange and seemed to have his own agenda as to how he liked to serve people. We noticed others had bread with their meals. We love bread, so we asked for bread, he said, OK, I will get you some but it is by request only. OK, no problem we got our bread............And when I ordered a bowl (yes bowl) of soup to start with and he came out with a cup, I said, "I think I ordered a bowl" and he gave me a look and from then on there was this strange eye contact vibe the rest of the meal like I was trying to mess with him. Just odd.

    Stranger-Then we ordered the Bread pudding for dessert and a creme brulee, which since this was our first time there and having read the menu but not remembering exactly if it had specified ice cream with the bread pudding it came out without ice cream. Knowing there was already this vibe I didnt want to question him (God forbid I would be wrong!) as to whether the menu called for ice cream so I asked for ice cream. He brought it out, and I said I didnt know if it came with ice cream or not (the one bad thing was by now the heat had left the bread pudding so the melting of the ice cream didnt happen like it normally does with bread pudding and that is one aspect of that dessert we like. Then he said what for me was the kicker, .........."Well some of the waiters like to serve it with ice cream, I dont, but since you asked for it, you got it"-----Are you kidding me? The menu calls for it, and you dont serve it with it???  I truly didnt get that.

    Long story short, the bar/restaurant belongs in the food/bar business. The waiter should try a different profession.

    I did call the manager and he confirmed that the menu should have been followed. So, management knows how to treat their clientele. Thats a good thing!

    Went here for lunch a number of times back when I worked nearby.

    It's not a bad little place -- the atmosphere and decor are pretty nice, but how authentic I can't say (I've never been to Ireland).

    The food was always good in my experience. However, like a lot of "Irish Pub" type places the menu is actually targeted to a wide variety of tastes (e.g., nachos, spring rolls).

    Went here only once during evening hours and they actually had live music going on.

    Worth a visit if you work/live nearby or are just passing through the area.

    I've always had a good time here. Food is good, the beer is flowing, and usually there is good music (i can think of one major exception.  One night we came here and the band sucked! I can't believe they let them play! Lol sounded like a mash up of Harry Belafonte and the song Iko Iko. Both good on their own....but this band was not pulling off...whatever they were going for.. unless they meant to sound like a cat in heat...)
    Like I said, USUALLY good music!

    Stopped in to have a beer and order diner for the family. What a horrible experience. First it takes the bartender 10 minutes to complete her conversation and come and take my order.  Then refuses to write it down though I tell her I'm ordering for six. Of coarse she forgets and has to ask again. I order an order of advertised $2 dollar cheese sticks and she tells me she has to charge me full price because I placed a to go order. Are you kidding?  I just spent more than anybody in the bar. Worst part, I could swear she enjoyed it. Proprietor, please note that your Tuesday night bartender is horrible. I can't be the first customer she has cost you.

    How do you feel about a tepid American take on Irish bar decor? Do you like your fish and chips to be microwaved fish sticks and merely decent fries? Do you like it when your waiter doesn't give a damn? When your waiter asks if there's anything else you need while already starting to walk away? If you answered 'I'm all for it!' to any of these questions, you will love The Kerry Piper.

    Enjoyed this quaint, casual, Irish cottage pub on a Sunday afternoon. It was rather empty, probably due to it's out of the way location on the frontage road adjacent to I-55 (the old historic Route 66).  We loved the atmosphere and sat by the fire on a winter afternoon.  I imagine during football season, Sunday afternoons would be much more crowded.  We were greeted upon arrival and our server was very friendly.  The menu offers a great variety of American and Irish favorites at affordable prices, not just your usual pub food.  I ordered the amazing Pot Roast  Boxty, which was huge (I commented to the server that it was more like a boxcar! -  and I happily ate leftovers for two days).  The large chucks of roast beef were very tender and the sauce was perfect.  The meat, along with the vegetables is all tucked into a large potato pancake.  My husband, who loves to order club sandwiches, was very pleased with the Ballybunion Club that he ordered.  It was a fresh twist on a club with Turkey, Bacon and avocado on wheat bread.  He chose the tasty fresh cut fries as a side. The bar area also looked very relaxing with some big screen TV's and tables.  I like the setup with the bar area in the middle with two additional dining areas on the sides, but still open air.  The area we were in with the fireplace looked just like a quaint little Irish kitchen.  We are from the area, but because of this place being tucked away, we were never here before.  So glad that we found it with a Groupon.  We will definitely return.  It would be great for travelers also, as there are several hotels nearby (H.I., Super 8 & LaQuinta).

    Gave this place a second chance the other night and The Kerry Piper managed to kick it up a notch.  

    We still had a groupon to use and we went with another couple.  Us men folk ordered Newcastle Ale and had the fish and chips.  The ladies went with tea; one ordered a Boxty and the other (my date) ordered the corned beef and cabbage.

    Service was a little friendlier and snappier this night as the waitress was attentive and pleasant.  We started with the gourmet pretzels and this was a really nice treat.   Soft pretzels with spicy mustard and some cheese sauce.  Go with the mustard, the hot pretzels with the spicey brown mustard was something I could have made a meal out of.  Fish and chips were great, fish had a nice balance of fish and breading, chips were fresh cut russets and tasted great.  Malt vinegar on table was right on.  My date raved about the corned beef and cabbage again.  Corned beef and cabbage is something that you really don't feel like making yourself so it's nice to have a place that does it right.  The Boxty was OK but wasn't terribly exciting.

    Beer was nice and smooth, food was good, service was attentive.  Kerry Piper is getting there.  But the lighting is still something that I can't get used to.

    UPDATE:   Can't imagine anyone saying the service isn't good.  We go here every week and have for a long time.  Service is Always excellent.  Everyone so courteous and efficient.  
    Recently I sent an email suggesting they think about adding fried pickles as an appetizer....a favorite of mine.
    Didn't really expect an reply, but the manager emailed a few hours later to say she spoke to the chef and he said they would add them, but in the meantime, just ask and they'll make them for us.
    Tell me that's not awesome!
    The food here is excellent.  It's a friendly, fun place.

    I was in town for one night looking for a place to grab a few pints.  The Kerry Piper had a great atmosphere, the service was great, and they had a nice selection of beers on tap.  Also they had a Celtic band rocking out a 6 pm on a Sunday evening.

    After a previous poor service experience, we decided to try the Kerry Piper again.  BIG MISTAKE.  We had impeccably bad service.  I would think twice about ordering anything more complicated than a beer.  We ordered soup, burger & two kids meals.  After an hour and a half - we couldn't wait any longer.  Oh, I had to wait longer for the server to get me a check for the drinks.  The bartender/manager apologized several times, but it was way to late for that.  We will not be back and I don't know how this place can stay in business.  Hopefully this was an off night, but I will not be back to find out!

    This review is about the pub only. I have not eaten here.

    It has the rich, warm feel of an Irish bar, with a couple of "snugs" off to the side. There are many options for seating, bar, high tables, booths, pulling tables together, etc. They always have lots of beer on tap, Stella was my choice (my recent adventure into veganism put all British beers and all the food off limits) and they had the proper glass.

    It is stumbling distance to the hotel so it's a double ++ for me. I'm always back whenever I'm in town.

    Had dinner here after a long day on the road. chosen due to it being close to our hotel, was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. Some of the best corned beef I have had, Shepard's pie was yummy too. The fish n chips was only ok and the Stroganoff was super yummy. We would return for sure!

    I  finally had my first Reuben and I'm glad that I got it here.

    This place is really cool. Everything is very Irish about it. The outside looks like an old farmhouse/ tavern and the inside is dimly lit with dark wood everywhere. The menu wasn't all Irish, which is fine because some people would prefer their salads over Shepard's pie and it's good that they accommodate.

    We ordered the calamari as an appetizer. I was kind of iffy about that but it was really good. One of the best I've had in a while. I ordered the Reuben and my boyfriend had gotten the pub burger. We always split our food when we go out just so we can try more. The Reuben was awesome. The corned beef was tender, the sauerkraut was tart, the dressing was really good and the bread was the perfect compliment. Their pub burger though tasted like it was a frozen patty. I was kind of disappointed with that because it really is not that hard to have fresh burgers and it makes a big difference.

    All in all it was good. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. Our food was fresh and flavorful and the decor was really nicely themed. I will definitely go back.

    Not much to say about this spot.
    Nice little towny/cozy feeling bar with cool woodwork and atypical architecture inside.
    Beer selection kind of sucks but they will occasionally have an awesome bells on tap.
    The food I've tried has been just bar style appetizers and they've been up to snuff.
    Typical stuff.
    Service is alright, not horrible, not great. They keep you're drink filled if you pester them about it enough.

    I'll probably continue to stop in if enticed by a pretty lady or good friends but I don't think I'd ever suggest this spot as a go to.

    I love this place.  I frequent plenty, and I will say I always bring a new friend there.  It's close to home.  But what I love about this place, is the atmosphere casual and comfortable.  The food is always fresh, and never have any complaints. Sometimes we lose the Bartender or waitress, but this place is usually packed when I go.  Good times.

    I love the Kerry Piper. The atmosphere is so cozy and the food is delicious. Try the shepherds pie...to die for.

    We enjoyed The Kerry Piper. Following advice from Roxanne E., we were able to sit in front of the fire and stayed toasty all during dinner.

    Our server, Jay was attentive and helpful.

    I had the Taste of Ireland (yum!) including corned beef (juicy), shepherds pie (tasty), fish (tender) and chips (so-so).  My wife had the rosemary chicken (a bit tough).

    Smithwicks for me and a cabernet for wife.

    If you are using map quest or google maps, the restaurant is misplaced. Use the frontage road north of 83 (Kingery), turning at the just before Target. There is a small sign.

    Went her for lunch the other day - Driven by many times just hadn't had the time to stop.

    40 minutes for an at best ok burger -This Yelper won't be returning any time soon.

    It took 5 minutes for the staff even to acknowledge me

    I've been to the Kerry twice. Both times the place was almost empty and absolutely freezing.

    The first time I visited was last January.  I had the Taste of Ireland.  That included corned beef and cabbage, shepard's pie and fish and chips. The corned beef and cabbage was good, the shepard's pie was ok and the fish and chips were mushy.

    My last visit was two weeks ago. The place was freezing again. Everyone in our party had to keep their jackets on during the entire meal.  There was no lingering after the meal to have another cocktail. People wanted to get out of there and warm up.

    Given the lack of business, you can be assured that everything is pre-made and frozen. I decided to order from the specials menu, hoping that the food was more likely to be freshly made. I had the schnitzel and spatzle. The schnitzel was dry and the spatzle was just ok. I'm sure both were not freshly made.

    My best advice is to stick to the corned beef and cabbage and bring a stadium blanket. Oh, and order a martini. They fill those bad boys to the top!

    I have lived in Burr Ridge for 25 years and have never gone to this pub.
    On a Saturday night in October, we decided to try it. At 6:45 pm the restaurant was somewhat empty, with some families eating dinner, allowing their kids to run around the restaurant freely like it was a playground.The waitress told us to sit anywhere, so we chose to sit as far away as possible from those family tables.

    Our waitress was courteous and attending.  We looked at the menu and saw that, yes, this is pub food.My husband ordered the fish and chips and I ordered a corned beef on rye.Then, I noticed another table getting these long sticks, which looked delicious.We ordered the corned beef deep fried sticks for an appetizer.

    The corned beef sticks were just ok.  Hardly any flavor and could have used some cheese or salt.  The fish and chips looked good but also,
    no flavor.  My husband said the fish tasted like they were frozen too long.
    However, we both liked the french fries and coleslaw, which is my initial test for a place.  I ordered a corned beef on rye. It looked wonderful but
    again, no taste in the corned beef!  There was 1000 island dressing,horseradish dressing and a mustard type dressing that came with it but without those dressings, the corned beef would have been blah.

    I was expecting a saltier, cornier, corned beef and was disappointed to find it was just meh~

    Service was good, atmosphere was cold, dark, depressing.  Maybe with an Irish pub band and more people, this place could wow people for just a short time to drink a few beers.

    This review and rating is for the restaurant portion of the Kerry Piper. It does not cover the bar.

    The Kerry Piper has a delightful outdoor seating area. Its primary appeal is that the ambient noise level is much lower than most al fresco venues. The pub is not on a major highway or street. When the weather is nice, this is one of my favorite places to eat outdoors.

    As for the food, the selection is pretty much that of most other Irish pubs. However, the quality of the dishes is better than that of most other pubs. Several of the entrees are home recipes.

    Portions are generous, too much to eat in one sitting. And soup/salad plus dessert can be added to a dinner for a truly small extra charge.

    The service has always been reasonable when I have eaten there. The waitress stations include portions of the interior bar and interior dining area as well as the patio. They handle the stress well, providing friendly and capable service.

    The Kerry Piper is a nice change of pace from the Chicken Basket.

    I like this bar. No, it's not a super authentic Irish bar, because this is Illinois. For Illinois I think it is pretty cool. There is a stone wall, run downy Irish country home theme in here and it is very cozy. The bar is large, wooden and carved and has many a stool. There are lots of wooden tables and a couple high tops, so there are some options.

    The beer selection is pretty good. Of course they have the Irish and English beers but they also had some good ones for those of us who do not enjoy a thick, frothy brew. Obviously their whiskey selection is impressive and one of the times I was here the bartender took the time to explain to us what all the colors on the labels mean, not that I remember any of it.

    The food here is much better than the average bar fare and on the weekends there is usually live music. I really enjoy the bands they have there and they put on a fun show. The clientele here is definitely a little older, so this a great place to relax. Later in the night though, groups of younger kids sometimes wander in, but that is usually only around times like winter break. This would be a fun place to celebrate a birthday.

    My friend's boyfriend plays gigs here sometimes, so we come to show our support and get our drink on. It's kind of a fun place to do it, somewhere between an Irish pub, a dive bar and a grill. I'm not even sure how to describe it. The last time I came was around Halloween, and they had the giant, fake stone wall and covered with cobwebs.

    Drink specials were pretty good. They have your regular Irish drink on tap, domestic and imported bottles. My personal favorite will always be hard cider. It wasn't too expensive, either.

    But the best part about Kerry Piper is most definitely the Big Buck Hunt. Picture if you will, two inebriated girls battling to the death on this giant arcade game. I started out strong and impressed my friend. She asked where I learned to hunt and I reloaded, looked her straight in the eye and said, "I'm from Minnesota."

    This Kerry Piper reminded me of this one pub I went to in Ireland where they would do their best to ignore you if you were American because they know you're on vacay and the chances of you coming back are slim... except everyone in this Kerry Piper is American so the poor service really has no excuse.

    The place itself is decent, though it could use a little lower of a lighting level. Exposed brick walls, a few sectioned off dining areas, and the Irish version of kitschy covered walls make up its interior.

    We enjoyed their Tuesday $2 apps and $2 pints- almost worthy of a fourth star, but the service is just so slow that I'd say it's Irish luck that I'm still awarding the 3 stars. We did have a large group but our server didn't even try to look at faces to get orders at times. It was frustrating but we eventually learned that if you want a drink you need to order them 2 by 2 because they take so long to arrive (think upwards of 15 minutes) that you'll be done with your first before your second gets to you. That's not to say that the bartenders are slacking- they weren't from what we could see. We had a decent view of the bar's service station and could see when our drinks would come up, and sit, and sit, and sit. There appeared to be no teamwork among staff to help each other out, even though the place wasn't very busy at all; and if there was a manager there, you wouldn't know it.

    Our food was alright. Most that got food had the same grumblings- it was cold (prob had been sitting somewhere for a while like the drinks) and my veggie sandwich was so soggy (and cold) it fell apart the first time I tried to pick it up.

    I don't know that I'd go back but the boys were certainly interested in returning for the $2 Tuesday pint special.

    Decent Irish Pub with a nice patio. The band area is a little tight because it faces the bar with only a few yards in between. Good food and beer selection. If you are out in the western burbs and looking for a place to meet up with friends, I highly recommend this place.

    It can be hard to find if you don't know the area because it is buried behind some hotels and a Target.

    The Kerry Piper is a pretty decent Irish pub. I've only been a couple of times and they just so happen to be on St. Patrick's Day during lunchtime.

    The patio is of course packed since St. Pat's is typically the start of nice weather. I was glad to see that this year they got rid of the patio umbrellas because last year they were blowing in the wind and it was very bothersome.

    Chris was our server and kept the beers coming. He even did a shot with some of our group, which was pretty awesome.

    I ordered a corned beef sandwich and it was pretty good. I was let down that our server told us that they "didn't make any 1000 Island dressing." BOO!

    One fun thing about this place is you'll get people of all ages and all are talkative -- it's nice to meet some new people and network or just share a laugh with the group next to you. Good times.

    West and south of the city, on the old Route 66 lies The Kerry Piper. Named for the old piper who used to play his "Uilleann pipes" all around County Kerry in Ireland, this bar does it's best to re-create an authentic Irish pub.

    It's interesting to me that the bartender told me that the interior of the bar was designed and installed by a company in Ireland that "makes" Irish bars. Huh? I thought the real Irish bars were just that, Irish bars and that they just were . . . . .not made. Oh well- all the things you expect from an Irish bar in your imagination are here in The Kerry Piper.

    There are stone walls, rough hewn lumber beams, tables made from "whiskey kegs" and lots of dark wood tables and chairs scattered about. The stone fireplace dominates the one wall and there are farming implements (like ox yokes) hung about. Hmm . . .I wonder if there is catalog for such things and you just pick the decor out of a book????

    The food is actually quite good. While there are plenty of typical bar choices on the menu (wings, calamari, and nachos) if you go- stick to the burgers (the patty melt is quite good) or go with some of their "Irish like" offerings like the fish and chips (quite good) the meatloaf (almost as good as mom's) or the beef Irish boxty.

    As for the bar- they pour a good Jameson and a proper Black and Tan. On one of the nights I was in there - there was live music and a group of guys sampling all of the whiskey in the place which made for a pretty fun evening.

    The service is not consistent. Sometimes they are on their game and other times I have sat and sat waiting for someone to come over. For the best service- sit at the bar as I've never had a problem there.

    All in all a solid choice if you are looking for a drink and some decent food in the area. And the person was right who said the Yelp map is wrong. The Kerry Piper is located on the service drive to I-55 (old route 66) on the northeast corner at Hwy 83. A bit hard to find but once you do, your first pint should take the pain of finding it away!

    First, the map of where this is at this time is incorrect.  It's off of what used to be the old route 66.  You have to get behind the Target in the area to get to it.  The part of Route 66 it is off of runs just parrellel and just north of IL-55.

    If you can find it, I love the restaurant for the setting and types of people.  In general you will see late 20 somethings through early 50's.  Business suite types to biker types.  All in all a easy going and positive atmosphere and a nice patio section that works well for groups of people when you want to get away from the bar area.

    Where I ding them is for the music.  They are just not a good venue for live music which is one of my favorite things.  It's not a bad setup, so with hope and time they will start working in better bands.

    OK....I've been to Ireland a few times, and this is the fakiest recreation of an Irish Pub I've ever seen.  The dudes at Fox's or Toner's would laugh.  The Guinness is fine, the food is mediocre and the service is, generally, slow.  The Royal Guinness Lancers were somewhat disappointed and we probably won't be holding too many meetings there in the foreseeable future.

    Update  06 October 2010 ... Well, we had the opportunity to revisit this place.  And, actually, the corned beef sandwich was pretty darned good.  No complaints.   However, the service was still dreadful, and the fakey atmosphere hasn't been improved so I really can't raise the star rating.
    I would like to get my hands on one of those Guinness stratocasters they have though.

    Very authentic Irish pub.  

    We went on a Sunday evening, so the restaurant wasn't too packed.  The place has a great look about it - old, weathered tables, bar stools, chairs, etc. and a great looking bar.  There's an abundance of seating both at the bar and at the tables.  

    We decided to go in for dinner on the recommendation of friends and it was delicious.  I had the Fish and Chips and it was U.K. authentic.  The tartar sauce was homemade and delicious and the fish was fresh and fried to perfection.  The chips were fresh and hot when they came out on the plate.  All in all, a delicious dinner.

    The bar serves every authentic Irish drink you could possibly imagine: Guinness, Black and Tans, Jameson, etc.  Apparently the bar also has really fun celebrations for all Irish holidays and other fun events/happenings.  They have dancing, parties, New Year's celebrations, etc.  A couple of my friends went for New Year's and said the prix fixe deal was great and the atmosphere was fun and friendly; everyone had a good time.

    Kerry Piper... Living in this area I have to know where all my Black and Tan locations are. This place is, of course, most kick ass on or around St. Pat's Day... The tent is packed with 300 of your closest and drunk friends. It's a cool place to check out a band... Kinda' closed quarters but who cares! I guess all of the wood and stone in here is Imported from Ireland. I wouldn't know the difference, but it looks good. It can be a little slow getting drinks at the bar sometimes... maybe understaffed??? The beer variety is awesome and the mixers aren't too pricey. As far as food goes, I couldn't say... I've used this location primarily as a watering hole (although, I've heard it's good).

    A word of caution... This place is right around the corner from the Willowbrook PD station... Turn left out of here and use Frontage Road instead of Quincy St. to avoid a chance meeting! They aren't too bad, but  may have a limited sense of HUMOR!!!!

    Dinner at the Kerry Piper was pretty good. Typical Irish pub, darts board, etc...The place was surprisingly empty for a Sunday night, but hey whatever. They have a big selection of beers on tap, which was nice.

    I had the blackened tuna sandwich with seasoned fries and three (!) pints of Newcastle: it all hit the spot just fine, no complaints.

    My friend however, after asking the waiter for a suggestion, was recommended the chicken pot pie... When our food arrives, the so-called pot pie looks suspiciously like a bowl of chicken soup. The waiter's apology: "Oh yeah... sorry... we ran out of crust for the pie." WTF? You recommend the pot pie when you're out of crust, don't mention anything, bring a bowl of freaking chicken stew, and expect us not to notice this looks nothing like a pot pie?! He was nice enough to take it back and offer another dish in replacement: lamb stew, with looked uncannily like the previous dish, but for a slightly darker coloring.

    Also, what's up with last call for alcohol at 10pm?! Is this an Irish pub or what?

    We were only there for a couple of drinks before the place started to get really busy.  For being as busy as they were I was surprised that the crowd did not get on my nerves.  I am not a big fan of loud, obnoxious crowds.  I like going to a little place and enjoying good company, and relaxing.  I was able to do all of the above here.  This will have to be one of my suburban hangouts when I am out that way.

    I really enjoy coming here in the winter time when they have the fireplace in full roar with a nice pint of Guinness in my hand.  This has been one of my favorites in the burbs since turning 21.  The food is pretty good as well, although I've mainly had their burgers.  It's always crowded, so if you show up on a weekend, be sure to arrive early!
