Rafferty's Pub

On atmosphere, I give it an A+.  Very nice pub like feel, warm and cozy.  Great place to go and have some drinks and appetizers.  On the food... hmm...  mixed feelings.  We ordered the Reuben appetizers (they were good) and the Friday Fish Fry.  The fish was quality cod (no denying that), it just lacked taste.  If they would have salted the fish after it came out of the fryer, it would have been awesome, honestly.  It was just too bland for me.  All of the sides (slaw, french fries, even the Clam Chowder) were very good and tasty.  The fish needed seasoning.  Also...  the wait staff was awesome!  Very attentive!  The busboys are totally on their game!  And the Spicy Bloody Mary's were very good!

A neat looking Irish bar with the usual Irish food and beer to go with it. The place is on a difficult to find stretch in Chicagoland and most likely patroned by locals.  There is outdoor seating but not that much parking.

Don't order the wings unless you like pigeon......they were minuscule
