    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.

    What a great place with great food. You can not beat the service no matter what horseface says. The manager Eileen is the best. Plenty of shots flowing when she is working. Good luck trying to out drink her.  The part-timer Darcy is awesome as well. Dance party every day she works.Pajamas is an OK bartender and he loves to wear capris.

    You really can not beat the atmosphere when it turns in to Club R. Always a friendly crowd. I would recommend a night out at Raffs with a nightcap at the country cup.

    Goin' with a 5.....
    You know what? I love this place. I wonder what people think when they drive by. "Just another waterin hole for tha micks, aye?" Yup. And it's fantastic. It's really tastefully decorated and cozy inside, not dive-y. Love it in the winter when we can score the table in front of the fireplace. In the spring and summer the deck out back is perfect, and backs up to the forest preserve so you don't have to look at dumb old Joliet Road. The service is friendly and prompt, and my husband and I have never once been even slightly disappointed in our food decisions. Now, I have never ordered an entree here; just burgers, salads and sandwiches. My husband loves the sheperd's pie, fish and chips, and the french dip sammie. I've had good burgers, a lovely crab cake sandwich, and my fave: the turkey and ham cubano. Dang - it rocks. Get it with waffle fries. Places that have waffle fries instantly earn my respect. Pssst......they make a good Bloody Mary too. Comes in handy Sunday mornings. I mean, ya know....on the rare occasion that I may have been overserved the night prior. Oh, why am I rambling? Just try this place!

    I went here two weeks ago for the first time, and I thought it was a good, quaint little place to meet a friend, have a couple beers, and catch up!

    I brought my friend here last week...we don't quite fit the "persona" that comes here....we were kind of dressed up with heels after a dinner downtown, and the bartender did not even acknowledge us. When she finally glanced, I said "Hi." She said "Hi" and walked over to the other side of the bar to have a personal conversation with another patron. It seemed as if everyone knew each other, and took her another 10 minutes to come over and take our simple order of 2 beers. I'm sorry we don't "fit in" with the regulars and you are a middle aged jealous woman, but do yourself a favor; serve every patron that walks in so you don't turn people off to this place because it really is a cute, comfortable little spot that I would like to hang out at more often.

    I like this place.  I give it my 3 F's for fast, focused and friendly service.

    They've got a great little patio that I understand to be newly added.  But as a general rule, this place is known for good food.  We just did drinks and a mini Reuben appetizer that was pretty good.  Nice, lean corned beef, rye bread but I was surprised that there was no sauerkraut or Thousand Island dressing on their version of the Reuben.

    Because the service and ambiance was just right for a warm summer night, we're going to give this place another shot and try either the Shepard's pie, french dip or steak sandwich which we heard from neighboring tables that all are good bets.

    Nice little place to have a couple beer with some friends. The only time I ate there the food was fantastic. I plan on checking it out a bit more.

    I absolutely love Rafferty's! It is a warm, cozy place with great food! They have great drink specials, and great food specials on  a daily basis! The staff is wonderful and very friendly, and the owner is very personable and goes out of her way to speak to everyone and get to know her customers! I live in the area and have many places to choose from, but I pick Rafferty's over all the rest and have and will continue to recommend them to everyone! Their shepards pie is by far the best I have ever had, and they also have a wonderful burger, and delicious homemade soup! My family, friends and I have never been dissapointed!

    I have to agree that Rafferty's is a good laid back place. We have ended up there, almost on accident, several times, and have been pleased each time. I believe it is the same owners as Irish Times in Brookfield.

    This building has been around for a long, long time as some sort of bar or another.  A few years ago, a new owner moved in and opened Rafferty Pub.  In the past I have been in here for drinks and have always had a good time.  Good music, flat screen TV's, a great choice of beer.

    This past week I went there for dinner and was very pleased.  Their menu has the usual sandwich suspects (burgers, french dips, etc.) but they also have a number of Irish dishes that looked great.  The Shepards Pie for example looked really good and I'm going to be getting that next time.  I opted for a bacon and blue-cheese pub burger and was happy with the choice.  

    The decor is very nice, and they have a fireplace going in the dining area.  Overall the ambiance is very nice, and if your looking for an out of the way place to spend some time with someone, then this may be a great place to check out.
