Lady Gregory's Bar and Restaurant Reviews

The tables were set apart but the noise level was high. Great atmosphere though and nice vibe. We weren’t too hungry so we just got the Buddha bowl and the Asian salad. The Buddha bowl was good but a tad too much dressing. The Asian salad was very good as were the hamburgers!

Our second visit to the Lady and look forward to returning. The food is very good and we have had excellent service. Love the atmosphere too.

This was listed as an Irish Pub, but it seemed so much more than that. Definitely more than a Pub menu. Ample portions and excellent quality. We had an excellent server; I regret not getting her name. If I had any negative to say, it would be the noise level. It was high, but it was also a younger crowd and I’m sure they didn’t notice it. We were with Chicago friends and they said they’d definitely return.

Let's start with the elaborate cocktail and drink menu - every choice was creative and flavorful. Gastro burger was great. Service was super attentive. Great choice.

Do you have that one place that feels comfortable and never serves a bad meal? Well, Lady Gregory's is mine. I never had a bad meal - weather just appetizers, solo, with the girls or a date, it is fabulous. The lemon garlic chicken is a must try along w/the French Onion soup or the flatbreads... can you tell I like it - so try it.

This was a brunch visit. This big pub is decorated in the traditional dark wood, but is open and clean. The menu items are comfort and pub food, but some have an unusual twist, like the Caesar salad with grilled romaine, which was very good. We enjoyed the chipotle turkey burger. The fresh cut russet fries wee fresh, hot and crisp. The beer list is extensive. The food was well-prepared and the service friendly. This is a great place for Saturday or Sunday brunch. The restrooms are not to be missed.

Terrible food....horrible horrible food. Please !!!Cook the food first before bringing it out to serve.... It is very very dark inside. It is very similar to the gay bars of the 1970's. very tight and no room to even get to the bathroom. overpriced for a gay bar - over price for any bar food. - terrible management .

This is a large bar/restaurant on Clark Street in Andersonville. The inside is beautiful with tinned ceilings, a" library", and huge bar. The appetizers and salads are unusual, creative, and delicious. Some favorites are beets with feta, brie & tomato puffs, cauliflower steak for appetizers; beet/candied nuts/blue cheese salad with creamy lemon dressing; macaroni & cheese with carmelized onions, tomatoes, & prociutto.

Although this place has quite possibly the largest offering of whisky (bourbon, scotch, rye, reserve) in ask of Chicago land they also have some delicious house designed craft cocktails of other spirits. I can't wait to return to try the food!

Wow! Our friend we were visiting suggested this place for lunch. We started with wonderfully prepared Warm Roasted Beets and a dish of Pan Roasted Brussel Sprouts. The beet dish was out of this world! They were followed by a Blackened Club, and a Grilled Portobello Sandwich! All this washed down with excellent choices of beer and wine. A thoroughly delightful waitress attended to our every need and also offered excellent choices. I can't say enough about the ambience and high quality food preparation! You won't be disappointed, based on our meal there!

After having a friend rave over their deviled eggs for nearly a year, I finally went in to the dark and cozy space and tried the best deviled egg I have ever eaten. Definitely somewhere I will return to any time I'm in the neighborhood. Beautiful bar, a library, and wonderfully dim lighting made this an excellent dining experience.

Wonderful cheese curds! Love the sweet potato fries with the syrup. Service was excellent. Went above and beyond to make sure our group was doing good. It was a little loud in there but it could have just been the night we were there. Will return for sure

Great local spot with great quality food And service! Pretty great Mermosa! Enjoyed the onion soup side of fries... enjoy breakfast lunch dinner and cocktails in one awesome spot

Lady Gregory on Wells Street in Old Town Chicago closed a few weeks ago for rebranding. The restaurant reopened as LG's. One can only assume the effort was an attempt to erase their previous reputation and start up a new one. Well it didn't work. The food is mediocre and the service is inattentive. I had to get up from my table to find our server Angela, and ask her if we could order. Needless to say she was chatting in a corner. Later I had to ask a different server to give us a second round on our wine glasses which had sat empty for ten minutes without Angela ever stopping by. Add to that a lack of smiles and sincerity and you get the picture. At one point I approached the host and asked to see a manager. He said he would send one over. Then the same host came to our table alone and said, "The manager would like to know what it is regarding." A manager who screens his/her interaction with customers? I said, "Forget it." And while you're at it, forget LG's. If you want a more interesting menu and more attentive service just go next door to the VIG or across the street to other choices. Too many choices in Old Town to put up with this place.

Have you ever gone somewhere and almost can't wait to go back? Lady Gregory's is not close to where I live, by any means, but I enjoyed it so much I will make the trip again! We went on a Saturday for lunch and surprisingly didn't have to wait for a table. Seated in the room straight back we enjoyed the fireplace, bookshelves, woodwork and oh yes: look up at the ceiling when you go. I can't help but think how comfy this room would feel on a rainy or snowy day! The food? We asked our very friendly waitress for recommendations and we weren't disappointed! Macaroni and cheese w/bacon! Biscuits and sage gravy! Breakfast sandwich! A bowl of cheese soup! We were never rushed, our drinks were continually refilled, and we walked out satisfied and eager to come back to try something else on their menu!

Great dining with a wonderful warm atmosphere. The Lobster Mac and Cheese is killer. Not a huge fan of the "baby-tini" glasses when you order a martini, but that is really my only disapproving factor of the gem of a place.

they have phenomenal food. I love the sweet potato fries and the shepards pie is just great! The staff are some of the nicest people. The actual building is so rustic and elegant. And immaculately maintained. The whisky selection is out of this world, and it truly is an irish/british style pub. Love!!

Visited with the family for an informal Birthday celebration. I had the Bloody Mary (complete with Tiny Rheiny) and the Fish and Chips. The drink was delicious - my wife even enjoyed a sip and she is not a Bloody Mary fan. The fish was perfect; flaky, hot and perfectly battered. We liked it so much we took a carry out dessert home for later. Can be pretty busy on a Saturday.

This restaurant is one of my absolute favorites in Chicago. The food is always great, the staff friendly, and the beer and whiskey selection rockin'. Go for the sweet potato fries- they come with maple syrup for dipping and are out of this world. My second favorite thing is their ultimate grilled cheese. I've never had a better grilled cheese sandwich than this one.

We sat in the library room in the rear of the restaurant. It has great ambiance, especially with the fire place. The food was very good. We started off with a tasty artichoke dip and also had a steak salad, a baked French onion soup, a kid's mac & cheese and a soup which was some type of Irish soup with curry. I can't think of its name, but it was good. Our server, Brandon, started out good, but it seemed as though he became less and less attentive. Was it possibly because it started to get busier, I'm not sure, as it looked like there was plenty of help?? The only negative about Lady Gregory's is that street parking can be limited.

We were walking up and down Clark looking for a place for lunch on a Sunday. We passed this place and decided it was the place. From the outside is busy looking with lots of outside seating. Inside it is big with an upscale Irish pub vibe. Huge bar with tables surrounding it. We were seated immediately at small table by the window. Large menu but it is an online menu, you must scan a code. I still hate this. There are vegetarian options. We both had Bloody Marys to drink. I had the Molly's Buffalo Chik'n Sandwich (vegetarian fake chicken) and my partner had Classic Burger, both were served with fries. The Bloody Marys were the hit of the lunch, spicy and strong. The fake chicken sandwich was served with some dipping ranch dressing, The sandwich was OK, the fries looked better than they were. My partner liked his Bloody Mary and his burger was "alright". Overall, the service was spotty, food was not bad, drinks were delicious. Like the atmosphere. Next time we will just order drinks.

lots of variety on the menu. Very loud inside. Outside seating is on the side street and seemed like the choice

Overall Lady Gregory’s was good. My husband and I split the Ruben and a Shepard’s Pie. The Shepard’s Pie was very very good. The Ruben on really only ok. It it was a small sandwich. Not that we needed something giant and although the sandwich contained all the proper ingredients, it jus had a very little amount of them. Also, the corned beef did not have a strong flavor. This was good for me because I don’t like corned beef, but if you do, you may not be please. Overall worth a try.

My wife and I have ordered through grubhub two times now. They didn't sub sweet potato fries as requested last time but they took it off the bill. The burger with brie is bananas good! We ordered the baked brie with date compote last time and it was great. Great food every time!

Beautiful outdoor patio, great atmosphere food was out of this world. Try the roast chicken yummy! Yummy cocktails as well,

What may be the best thing about Lady Gregory's is that they serve vegetarian and vegan menus, which you do not see much of in Ireland. This matters to my family as we have two vegetarians and a vegan in the lot. As I enjoy meat, I can heartily recommend the shepherd's pie, meatloaf and chicken pot pie; the fish and chips are good as is the grilled Scottish salmon. The brunch menu is excellent as well. There are a lot of good choices here. On the downside parking can be a challenge in this busy urban neighborhood and the service can be spotty.

Authentically themed Irish restaurant. Lady Gregory was an anglo Irish literary figure I'd never heard about never mind read, still haven't. Apparently she was instrumental in reviving Irish theatre, literature and the arts. Delicious food and great look to the place. I really enjoyed the edamame/black bean salad and classic burger. There are lots of temptingly named dishes. Parking is always a challenge in Andersonville, so we set out early one Saturday afternoon and got lucky.

Had a great time here with friends who recommended it. Awesome ultimate grilled cheese. Bacon in a grilled cheese sandwich is genius. Don't debate. Just get it and the tomato basil soup. Great vegetarian options. Just ask. Fun kids meal. Take them along. Sweet potato fries to die for. Service was helpful and fun. When visiting Chicago will definitely go back.

We ate lunch at Lady Gregory's recently and were pleasantly surprised how wonderful this place really is. We went on a Saturday and although it was busy, we were seated rather quickly because it is bigger than it appears on the outside. We needed a high chair for my grandson, and they couldn't have been nicer. Our server was friendly and happy to give us all the time we needed to look over the menu and ask questions. I believe the food is reasonably priced and the selection was good too. We ate brunch and everyone chose a different dish. I loved the Chicken Tostada with black beans. It was full of flavor and had a savory red sauce. I also loved their coffee. Nummy. My kids enjoyed their meals as well and were hoping to return to try many other dishes. I plan to try some of their vegetarian dishes the next time we return. What a selection! The atmosphere is very lively and upbeat. As we looked around we saw families, couples, young and old, and everyone was having a good time. This is really a wonderful Irish Pub and I would recommend it highly.

A corner neighborhood bar with really nice ambiance inside. However, we went on a Friday night, so it was very busy and a bit loud. Though we were on the list for a table, we decided to sit at the bar when two seats opened. Our server/bartender, Rachel, was very attentive to us, though she was definitely busy. We picked the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich and the gastro burger. The grilled cheese consisted of gruyere, aged cheddar, mozzarella, brie, roasted tomato concassé, fried shallots, candied bacon confetti melted in parmesan-crusted sourdough. The parmesan crust on the sourdough really added to the sandwich. The gastro burger was huge (tall), with two patties. I ordered the burgers medium rare and they were juicy. Both the grilled cheese and the burger were very tasty, and we also had a side of mac and cheese which was also very tasty. If you live in the neighborhood, this is a great place to walk to and visit, but street parking can be tough. It would be great to go back at a time when it is not so busy.

This is a fantastic find. We have been doing for a while. The brunch is one of the best in the city. I love the library in the back with the fireplace. Great for brunch in the winter with the fire to warm you up. We love the biscuits and gravy. Also, the French toast is amazing. The food is great for any meal. We love brunch and go often. Enjoy!!!

The grilled cheese sandwich is amazing! So are the grits and the lemony fizzy (nonalcoholic) drink. The decor is very nice and the service was outstanding! This was the best place we ate while in Chicago.

We stopped here after having drinks at Marty's. We were ready for a good dinner. There was 6 of us and we ordered a bunch of apps - brussel sprouts and deviled eggs. Both were pretty good. I ordered the country chicken pot pie on recommendation from our friends and my husband had the fish and chips. The pot pie was good but it needed to be cooked a little longer. The dough on the middle with still a little chewy. Lot of veggies and chicken. A little salty for my taste but overall it was good. The fish looked really good. Nice pieces of haddock with chips. The restaurant was pretty busy since it was pride weekend. One of our friends ordered the roasted chicken and that looked amazing. He said it was great. The service was great. Our friends knew the server so that always helps. Overall, it was a nice place for a some Irish home style cooking. Nothing too fancy. It was good

My wife and I visited Andersonville and stopped in at this place for lunch. The inside was beautiful. Lots of TVs, hardwood, a 'library' setting in the back. Big bar. It was beautiful, so we sat outside. She had a very good reuben sandwich and I had an excellent chicken pot pie. With beers and tip, set us back $42 or so. Recommended to sit outside. Good corner for people watching. Service was slow the day we were there, but who knows if that was normal or not.

I was wandering around the neighborhood of Andersonville when my friend and I stumbled upon this great little restaurant! The festive Christmas decor and library seating section made the restaurant feel very homey. This menu has traditional Irish style pub food, but all the dishes we ordered we delicious and had great presentation. Their beer section is also huge and I highly recommend their Pear Cider. Definitely a great restaurant and if you're in the mood to drink there is a wide variety of options to chose from.

Lady Gregory's has both old world style and a contemporary vibe. Before looking at the menu we had to gaze at all of the elegant architectural details. We were there on a Saturday afternoon, and the place is obviously very popular. It's not really a place for quiet conversation. When crowded with people the noise level can get loud, but it's a fun experience. The menu is creative, and everything we ordered was delicious from their Chicken Pot Pie to their Broken Promise Burger. When the weather cooperates there is also outdoor dining. We will definitely return.

Didn’t know what to think when we visited this Irish pub but it wasn’t to twee false Irish place I expected. The inside was very large and had a great cosy atmosphere. They had a very good drinks menu with a wide range of craft beers. I had never been to a pub where you can get a flight of whiskey to taste. The choice of whiskeys was also very large. Although the food menu wasn’t massive the food was very good quality- in fairness you should just go here for the sticky toffee pudding desert alone - it was amazing !!!

The worst food experience we have had here in Chicago! Started out with a nice server but then... Cold everything; twice!! Incorrect food order; twice!! Manger requested and never showed up; too embarrassed I guess. Avoid and save the grief.

I've been here close to 100 times now over the last 5 years... a go-to place that works if I'm by myself, with friends, family, date, co-workers... really, anyone. It's a rare bar that has great beer, great food, AND has multiple TV's to watch the different games, but isn't a sports bar in any way. Brunch is fantastic and lunch/dinner even better, probably 'cause I prefer those meals. Outstanding veggie burger, portobello sandwich, Brussels sprouts, beet salad, salmon, fish and chips, and omelettes, I cycle through those on my visits. Service is generally very good. I recently sat next to some out-of-towners who were staying at the Guest House down the street and realized this is a great go-to bar/restaurant for the visitors, despite not being in a "tourist"-y area. Andersonville should be a destination to the visitor to the city but not everyone gets out to the neighborhoods, which is a shame. Highly recommend Lady Gregory's.

We called in here for the first time for some lunch. We didn't want a big meal and we were finding it hard to choose. The waitress was very good at explaining everything and helped us make a good choice. The food was really tasty and the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend it.

The restaurant is in the Andersonville neighborhood and has a lot of energy. The atmosphere was one of a loud sports bar. There were plenty of options on the menu for this type of place, but the food overall was average. We ordered deviled eggs as a starter which were very unremarkable; probably should have ordered the truffle oil popcorn instead. for the rest of the meal we ordered crab cakes, mussels, sweet potato fries, and a chicken and goat cheese flat bread - all interesting choices for a sports bar, and good, but not great tasting. Overall, a fun place to eat at. The only big downside was the acoustics. The place was very loud and it was difficult to carry on a conversation at your table without shouting.

Went here twice and food was good - dont order a sweet though - we had sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble which we had to wait ages for and when they arrived both were cold. Staff are very friendly and main meals were good - had burgers, fish and chips,etc the pasta is dry no sauce on it though

We had a great waitress and the food was very good! Everything we tried we loved! We were there for brunch and they had good choices also.

A very warm evening in Chicago (high 80's) and a sidewalk cafe/bar was a must. Staff extremely friendly and allowed me to sample a few beers before I made a choice. I was now here for the full term so had a second drink, this time a red wine suggested by a waiter. My fault I know, but I had a second red only to discover when the bill arrived that they were $14 a pop....ouch. My starter was a very average caesar salad, followed by a very acceptable burger (with really great fries). A nice place to chill, and the food was vert reasonable (except the salad), but the whole ting was pricey for what it was.

The setting was so restful dining among beautiful flowers. I had the meatloaf sandwich which was just delicious (beef, pork, veal) and my daughter had one of the specials of the day. My daughter had dined at Lady Gregory's several times before and knew they had good food. The restaurant is located in the Andersonville neighborhood and you can walk off your lunch by visiting the many quaint shops. Just a fun time!

Very nice atmosphere and staff are very accommodating when it comes to altering food for personal tastes. Quick and friendly service

Lady' Gregory's has a great location on Clark Street with out door dining available. There can be a wait for an outside table to plan ahead and dine early or enjoy a cocktail at the bar while waiting for a table. We enjoyed the Grilled Portobello wrap, Buffalo Chicken Wrap and the Wild Burger. Sides are extra so we ordered the fresh cut fries and sweet potato fries to share amongst the three of us. The two sides were plenty for three of us to share. Our favorite side was the Sweet Potato fries with maple syrup for dipping. The decor is beautiful and the service was friendly, fast and efficient!

Recommended by a local shopkeeper, this restaurant has a friendly neighborhood vibe and interesting menu. I had an excellent black bean burger and fries. My friends ordered an appetizer of roasted beets and feta. I thought I hated beets, but not anymore! It was incredibly simple and delicious. It appears they have good gluten free/vegan and other options that are more than an after-thought, and were happy to accommodate my friend's dietary restrictions. A very enjoyable place for lunch and would like to come back for dinner.

So many restaurants are anxious to serve and see you move on. Our party of four talked over a drink before ordering and they hung around after eating. The server was always friendly and gracious. The food selection is a bit limited, but the bar is well-stocked and had a nice selection of beer, but not much wine. It's a great place to relax and catch up with old friends.

One of the greatest things about this place is that it's huge and you can almost always get a table. It's a big, beautiful irish pub with gorgeous woodwork and ambiance for days. And the food is delicious - two steps above the standard - at a entirely ordinary price point. I had some kind of breakfast burrito for brunch and it was heavenly. The house made hot sauce hit all the right flavor notes.

I went when this restaurant first opened a couple of years ago and have to admit that I wasn't impressed. I thought the food was fairly good, but overpriced. I've been back several times now, and I find it better each time. The food is now very good and the value seems better (maybe it's just me) than before. Portions are perhaps not HUGE, but definitely generous. Good flavors abound. They have a good drink menu, nice choices of beers and even some very good non-alcoholic specialty drinks (a rarity and I hope they continue this! I do drink alcohol, but sometimes I'm not in the mood, and it's nice to have something unique to drink other than water or soda). My boyfriend LOVES their mac and cheese (with chicken). I've enjoyed their big salads and fish and chips. I think this is a nice addition to the Andersonville area and I hope it does well as I'd like to see it stay.

Had a delicious ultimate grilled cheese sandwich here for lunch, and my friend had soup and a salad. Sat outside in a nice shady spot beside the restaurant, on a perfect Chicago Summer day. The food and service was wonderful, and would definitely visit again. The people watching on Clark Street alone is worth a visit. Excellent lunch, many great choices on the menu. Highly recommended.

This was our first visit to Andersonville and we made two stops at Lady Gregory's, one for lunch and a second for dinner. The atmosphere in the bar/restaurant is very conducive to conversation and kicking back. There's a genuine hospitality upon entering that is matched by the warmth of a fire and decorative lighting. The food choices may be somewhat limited but everything we tried was delectable. The beer selection is extensive - and best of all, perhaps, is the service. What upbeat, friendly staff! The Lady has made ladies so we look forward to returning whenever we are in Chicago again.

After getting delayed at an event until almost 11pm on a Friday night, my friends and I were absolutely starving. I couldn't have been more happy when we began calling around and found out that Lady Gregory's kitchen was open until midnight. Yes, it was a limited, late night menu, but the options were perfect. I had a cheeseburger with Irish bacon and cheddar and it was very tasty. I particularly loved the fresh pickles and was brought a small bowl of extras by the waitress, who was absolutely lovely. This is a big establishment and the beer/wine menu was quite extensive, although none of our group indulged in a cocktail. The music was slightly loud, which I would expect when you have a full house, but at that time there were only two other tables on our side of the restaurant occupied and it would have been nice to have had the volume a little lower. The decor was unique; we noticed that old doors had been used to make a small wall to separate the sides of the restaurant. It is overall a very cosy place and if in the area I'd definitely go back.

My wife and I had saw this restaurant on a tv channel that was reviewing restaurants. So, we put it on our list to try. After going to a comedy show one weekend in April we decided to visit Lady Gregory's to get a bite to eat. The atmosphere was very nice. We Highly recommend the Cheese Sandwich with bacon and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. They where super delicious. they also have a nice bar where you can get a drink if you like. The staff was terrific.. Can't wait to go back again.

Over the past year, my wife and I have indulged in the friendly practice of visiting several Irish pubs in the Chicago area. We aren't of Irish descent and we don't drink alcoholic beverages. But I've read so much about the friendly and jovial atmosphere at Irish pubs--maybe I've been watching too much British TV--that I thought it would be a fun adventure to see if Irish pubs are as enjoyable as advertised. They are. Take Lady Gregory's Bar & Restaurant, for example. Located at 5260 North Clark Street, it is rated among the top five Irish pubs in Chicago. Irish pubs usually aren't described as upscale but Lady Gregory's is a traditional Irish pub with a flair of elegance and pizzazz. It offers farm-to-table bar bites and a large beer and whiskey menu. The food is downright delicious. Have you had an Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich with bacon, Gruyere, white cheddar, mozzarella, brie, roasted tomato and fried shallots on parmesan crusted sourdough bread? That's just a hint of what's on the menu at Lady Gregory's. We started with deviled eggs and tomato basil soup. My wife chose meatloaf with all-natural Meyers Angus beef and Iowa pork with mashed potatoes, gravy, crispy onions and tomato chutney. I couldn't resist the country chicken pot pie with chicken, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, peas and chicken cream gravy in a pastry crust. I crave chicken pot pie and Lady Gregory's version is as good as it gets. All of which means we had to pass up grilled salmon, fish and chips, shepherd's pie, rosemary roasted garlic chicken and halibut with parmesan egg crust. And the Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Next time. Who said the only good thing you can count on at an Irish pub is a pint of Guinness?

Lady Gregory's serves a great selection of Irish Whiskey and Scotch with knowledgeable servers who know their way around the drink menu. If you are hungry, there is great comfort food on the menu. I recommend the chicken pot pie and the shepherd's pie. The deviled egg appetizer is fantastic if it is still available.

Visiting our son who lives in Andersonville always ends with Sunday brunch before we head out of town. This is our second time at Lady Gregory's and it was as good as the first time. I am a huge fan of the macaroni and cheese. My son's empanada was good enough for me to sneak a couple of bites of. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a some delicious food.

Stopped in for brunch on Sunday. Both our meals were delicious and the service was good. Would come back.

Girls trip to Chicago and wanted someplace different. The atmosphere is authentic and warm. Good people watching. The service was really good, but once the lunch crowd hit, we had to summon the waiter or someone else to bring us normal items like ketchup or refills of iced tea. The Irish hushpuppies were really good, but hard to split 5 when you have three customers-seriously it would have broken the bank for one more hushpuppy? We split two sandwiches, and the Blackened Chicken sandwich was really good. We were very disappointed with the Reuben, and in an IRISH pub! The corned beef as good, but no Thousand Island dressing or Russian dressing, no Swiss cheese and absolutely ZERO sauerkraut. When we asked about it we were told that they were out of sauerkraut..seriously take it off your menu until you can make it correctly! The waiter asked if we wanted another side, I countered with no, but you can comp our ice teas. He looked like I wanted him to comp the entire ticket-well he had to ask the manager. Overall, the quality of the food was good but overpriced at $18.00 plus per sandwich.

The pub is in a lovely building and is beautifully decorated. Good food and drinks and great service. The shepherd’s pie is yummy.

Echoing many of the same accolades as the reviews just before me, this restaurant was a great find. Food is focused on 'comfort', with all the standard fare; done well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Even though the restaurant was busy, she took time to describe the menu and make very good recommendations. Service was prompt. The whiskey list is one of the finest and most extensive I have come across ... Diverse selections that included some hard to find (Black Maple Hill for example). From Whiskeys to scotches and everything in-between.... Well worth going just for this list. Are group raved about all their individual choices, food is fresh; one of the specials on our evening was sold out, which tells me not only its popular, they cook FRESH daily and when its out, its out, something positive in my book. Prices are a great value, not expensive for quality food/service. Can be a bit noisy, if your party is large enough, they have a great closed off area in the back - look for it and if you can get it - that is a real score.... Highly recommend in you are traveling near or through Andersonville ...

We consider Lady Gregory's a great find. The cauliflower steak and pan roasted Brussels sprouts were especially good. A particularly nice feature, and reason enough to go even if the food wasn't excellent, is a complete gluten-free menu. "Normal" diners may not appreciate what a treat it can be to actually hold a sandwich with two slices of bread in your hands but somebody at Lady Gregory's has provided a very nice experience for celiacs to enjoy. The decor is very nice, and the service was good. Even the walk to the restaurant, about 10-15 minutes from the area of Wrigley Field, was enjoyable. Can't wait to go back.

cool place to eat and drink. great food and service. Never had a bad drink here. girlfriend showed me this place and we have gone several times. Most recently last week. Will be back soon.

After spending an afternoon outside under the sun in a heatwave, we were looking for somewhere cool to have dinner. They sat us right near an AC vent. It was cool, dark and a little loud (so be warned - some people were pulling out their cell phones to use the flashlight to read the menu). There were a lot of really good looking options on the menu and I found it a little hard to figure out what to get. I ended up going with the Mac and cheese and bread pudding for dessert. It was very good. The server was very friendly. I would absolutely go back again.

The restaurant was beautifully appointed service was amazing our server Mojo went out of his way to make the evening special for my sister's birthday our host David was most attentive as well! looking forward to a winter in Chicago and visiting this restaurant with all the Cozy fireplaces that are available to sit sip and enjoy !

Just happened along to find Lady Gregory. It was a cute pave with nice outdoor seating. The waited was super friendly and the food was good. Problem. ...it took forever for drinks and food. No mixed drinks either. A beer and a whiskey flight so just putting. The place was not crowded either.

Bar service leaves a lot to be desired. Do not sit around the bar, back in the dining room you’ll be neglected. Staff has a better time talking to each other then taking care of you. Be prepared to wave them down to get even a food order placed. Not worth the $100 solely for the service alone.

We've been to Lady Gregory's twice in the few months since we have moved to Chicago. The first time was for brunch. I had one of the best, fluffiest omelets I have ever had. I didn't know anything about this place and thinking that it was an Irish pub, maybe the omelets would be okay, but it was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back for brunch again. The second time we went was for dinner. Excellent beer and whisky list. Bartenders are very friendly and were quick to give a sample of something if we questioned the taste of a beer, cider, etc. The dinner we ordered was delicious! We started off with the curry fries app. Yummy. Served the traditional way with the sauce poured over the fries. For dinner my husband had the meatloaf. Classic comfort food. A big slab over mashed potatoes. I try to eat less meat so I ordered the veggie burger. I kid you not, I took a bite and called the bartender over to tell her they made a mistake and I had been given a meat patty. It wasn't, it was a veggie patty. I was completely blown away that the veggie burger tasted so much like meat. She gave me a tip when I ordered it - order the regular burger with a veggie patty. This way you get regular cheese and the bun is not "vegan" (I don't care about the cheese or bun). This was an excellent suggestion and I highly recommend the veggie burger ordered this way. They heard we were new to the area and sent us over a sticky toffee pudding at the end of the meal. So kind and welcoming. We look forward to becoming regulars at Lady Gregory's since we now live in the neighborhood. Great place!

My wife and I took our 3 grandsons (8, almost 6 and almost 4) to Lady Gregory's for dinner and this is a great place for both adults and young children. Even though it is a bar, they have a very good selection for children and bring the food very quickly which is essential for children of a young age. They have a very extensive beer selection and my shepherd's pie was authentic and delicious and went very well with my Belgium beer. Their prices are very reasonable and both adult and children portions are certainly more than ample.

We went here with friends on a Saturday night. They do not take reservations. We got there about 6:45 and they had about a 30 minute wait, so we found seats at the bar to make the wait go by. The Whiskey selection was outstanding. Irish Whiskey's were predominant of course, but also the selection of Scotch was superb. I opted for a beer instead. I had a Black and Tan, which was great. We had to wait a total of 31 minutes for our table. We were lucky and got a booth that was relatively quiet. Two of us started with the Tomato Basil Soup. The soup was fantastic, creamy and rich the way it should be. It could be a meal by itself. Then all four of us got the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It was absolutely the Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich ever. The blend of cheeses with the candied bacon and shallots was unbelievably good. The sandwich was so big three out of four of us could not finish it, and took it home. The sides were good also from the wild rice to the sweet potato fries. The waiter was very good, even though it too a while to get the food. As far as the ambiance, we all loved the look of this lovely Irish Pub. For a fun lively Saturday Night Meal with friends, this is a great Andersonville place to go.

Well located amongst the bars and grills of the Old Town. Drinks and food menu is great - although not what I would class any of it as a genuine attempt to play on so-called Irish roots. Overall a great place, but a bit 'affected' by the young staff, which is a great shame. If you want the genuine Chicago-Irish experience go further up the street. If you want nice drinks and food, Lady Gregory's is as good as anywhere else in the Old Town.

The Andersonville neighborhood has some very good restaurants and bars but in the last several months, Lady Gregory has been our destination. We like eating in the library room at the back of the restaurant - fireplace, bookshelves loaded with books, welcoming atmosphere. The hamburgers are very good. If you have a mac and cheese craving, it can be satisfied here. The chicken club is made with an actual grilled chicken breast - not sliced deli-style chicken. Sweet potato fries are yummy and come with maple syrup (ketchup provided if you ask). Excellent roasted vegetables and turkey burgers, too. I like going mid-afternoon, after the lunch crowd and before the bar gets busy in early evening.

$120 tab for 4: lunch on Sunday afternoon that included 4 beers and 4 entrees: (1) mac and cheese; (2) grilled cheese; (3) hamburger; (4) salmon sandwich. Good food, but ridiculously over-priced. Busy, trendy place. Mediocre service. Terrible street parking. Will we return? Probably not at these prices.

Absolutely amazing food! The Mac and cheese was delicious, the fact that they added bacon and caramelized onion was genius. The blackened chicken wrap was also incredible along with the shepherds pie!! Thank you for the amazing experience, I’m excited to try more of their menu!!

I've been to many "Irish Pubs" but none like Lady Gregory's. The menus has some interesting options you won't find most other places. I ended up with the ultimate grilled cheese--it was a huge sandwich stuffed with cheese and bacon. I also recommend the sweet potato fries. The crowd was light, service was good, the menu had enough variety that everyone could find something they wanted, and everyone enjoyed the food. Reasonably prices. Fun place. I'll be back...

They have a large liquor selection, great food and outdoor dining. I love eating outside in a great neighborhood with good food and nice people. This place has all. GO GO GO. Enjoy!

After two terrible experiences over a year ago where service was literarily non existent and the food just bad we had a very nice visit this time. Even though our server was new she did a great job and the food was excellent. Not sure if they're under new management or got religion after a year of suffering under Covid rules but I'm glad to see them pull together and deliver a dining experience worthy of their pricing and name.

We have dined at Lady Gregory's 5 or 6 times when visiting our Chicago family. Everything on the menu is delicious. Even a wine drinker can find a great glass to accompany dinner, while this bar obviously specializes in whiskeys & beer.

This was our second visit to Lady Gregory's and once agin it was an enjoyable one. We walked for blocks trying to find a restaurant where we could watch Sunday Night Football and eat. This was the place. We ordered appetizers; deviled eggs, a wonderful dip and a side salad. We wanted to have SLOW service so we could see all of the game and our server never made us feel rushed. We split the meatloaf sandwich and it was wonderful. Really, the portions are big enough to share, especially if you have some sides. Cold beer, good food and football. What could be better?

Can be noisy- even when its not crowded (and its crowded a lot). Nice seating- have been in every area at least once (except outside, no thanks!). Daughter's bf loves the truffle fries, have had the burger, potpie and salmon more than once. Desserts are very good.

This has outdoor and in door seating. Service was very good, food came out fast. The burgers are huge! I had the grilled romaine salad with blackened shrimp- excellent. The shrimp were large and well cooked. My husband had a toasted cheese sandwich with bacon and it was delicious. A excellent American and European beer selection.

Excellent lunch with business associates before a presentation. Good food, and good atmosphere made for a good presentation and a good relationship with our clients.

We were having a full day meeting off site and decided to get out and grab some food. We stopped in Lady Gregory's on a cold fall day. It was great. I had a cup of tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese. I left feeling so satisfied! Will definitely stop by again if I am in the neighborhood.

We commented when leaving that they must have a new chef. The food was always good but now has greatly improved. Two people ordered the Shepherd's Pie and said it was wonderful. One of our party was vegetarian and loved the vegetarian dish. I had a steak salad that was quite good, though not excellent. The wines are few, but the choices are good. The extensive beer list makes this a great place for a brew. The only down side was the slow service. One of us ordered a second beer just as the food arrived. The beer arrived after the food was eaten. 15 minutes to get a beer on a night when the place was not even a third full and with two bartenders is an excessive wait. The same was true when I ordered a second glass of wine. The price wasn't too bad, 7 meals, 9 imported beers and 3 glasses of wine for just over $200.

So many gluten free options from avocado toast, French toast and burgers. We went for the French toast. Large portion three pieces of bread with fruit and plenty of syrup and butter. If you want ask for syrup on the side. The special burger was great but so so messy. I resorted to using a fork. Not enough cheese. The grilled cheese was the best option at the table! Amazing! Last was the chicken waffle. Too much breading for me. Drinks were good and extensive collection of beers on offer. We will be back

good food and our waiter Justin was fun. Got right in on a Friday with 6 people and had a good dinner. we will go back. Had the Shepard's Pie, very good. Everyone's meals were good.

We went to Lady Gregory's at around 8pm on a Saturday night for dinner, without a reservation. Not surprisingly, the place was packed inside and out and we were asked to wait for a table at the bar. The bar turned out to be a pleasant and comfortable place to sit for our meal so we stayed there. This place has a real neighborhood vibe with an interesting menu and great selection of beer and wine by the bottle and glass. The grilled caesar salad and roasted brussel sprouts were excellent! Service from our server, Fidelma, was notably prompt, attentive and friendly for being seated at the bar. Fidelma's infectious smile and cheeriness set the tone for our entire visit! We would return without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Lady Gregory's is an absolutely amazing, and surprising, Irish restaurant! The food was delicious and included a wide range of dishes of all types. The staff were extremely attentive and polite. On par, if not better than Dublin.

Have been there twice and each time my entire party enjoyed it. The Mexican style egg dish with chorizo sausage was terrific and enough for 2 persons.

We had a sadly disappointing meal. Two of the three meals had to be sent back. One was cold and the other hadn't been cooked. This is a charming place but the meal that we were served was not.

Fun Active Space, Smart Beers, Scratch made food items, you would call it a gastro pub....that term still is active in most folks vocab. Private room area, smaller rooms for overflow dining of a more quiet lunch, dinner. Very good food and beer selections, friendly competent, knowledgeable servers, i've been 3-4 times, both biz + pleasure. Definitive check it out if you are in the Andersonville area

Although this is clearly a bar, they are very accommodating to families. There were 7 of us, 4 adults and 3 boys aged 9, 7 and 5, and from the moment that we were seated in a good sized booth, everything was first class. Our server Allison was very prompt in taking our orders for drinks, then appetizers and finally for our main meals. The alcoholic drinks for the adults were all very good, especially my Belgium Duchesse de Bourgogne beer served in its special goblet and my wife's Riesling wine. We shared a variety of appetizers including deviled eggs, Amish blue chips, goats boilie and sweet potato fries. Three of us had delicious onion soup served with an abundance of cheese, my Shepherd's pie, my wife's salmon sandwich, my son's Gastro burger, my daughter-in-law's Reuben and our grandsons' classic burger and Kid mac and cheese were all well prepared.

I've been to Lady Gregory's several times as I live in the Andersonville neighborhood. The positives are the drink menu, better than average food, and a nice atmosphere for a group outing. I do not think that Lady Gregory's is a fantastic place for a date night because it is rather loud inside. Recommendations: Try their turkey burger... I know, I know... most restaurants give you a dried out piece of meat, but they grind their own turkey meat and add wonderful seasoning. Truly one of the best turkey burgers I have ever had. Also, try their mashed peas for something a little different. If you like peas, you will LOVE these. And of course, try some of their amazing beers, huge selection to choose from. I would definitely recommend Lady Gregory's for a night out with friends. FYI, when you order anything off the burger menu, they do NOT come with sides which makes this restaurant a bit more spendy than it should be.

Stumbled across this gem of a bar/restaurant on our way round the vintage shops. Delightful staff, amazing food and lovely ambiance. You won’t be disappointed!!

We came here at the suggestion of some friends that live locally. The place has a great beer list, including local an lesser known options, and a huge range of options. The servers were great about having a baby at the table (friendly, happy to bring kid cups, etc.) and were very quick with ordering and the check etc. The food was fantastic, really fresh, flavorful - things you find on lots of pub menus, but done so well you remember them as how it should be. We had the key lime pie at the end...it's huge and delicious.

Attentive & friendly service, great tasting Irish comfort food with a old fashion welcoming decor. We ordered the half chicken with mash potatoes very moist & perfectly cooked.

We visited an earlier date than drop down choices. The wait staff and food was amazing here. The bathrooms were impeccably clean. The bartender made some delicious non-alcoholic smoothies. The atmosphere seemed more high end than other establishments and eateries in the area. I will return on my next trip to Chicago.

I went to Lady Gregory's twice during my recent visit to Chicago. For dinner, I liked the cozy atmosphere and comfortable booth. The menu had quite a bit of variety - something for everyone - I had a great burger. The drinks were creative and delicious - good wine list, too. If you like scotch/whisky, this place is for you! They have a crazy extensive menu of these spirits. Our service was excellent and the manager came to chat with us and make sure everything was going well. It was. I liked it so much, I went back a few days later at lunchtime for a drink and some appetizers. The front windows were open to the sidewalk as it was a gorgeous day. Again the service was attentive, the food was tasty and the drinks cold. When I get back to Chicago - which is often, I will be sure to go back to Lady Gregory's!

Comforting, cozy gastropub in Andersonville. Lobster Mac and Cheese is full of perfectly cooked lobster meat, and a light, but delicious sauce. Great place to sit with an Irish Coffee and a sticky toffee pudding.

We met friends here for brunch while visiting Chicago on a holiday weekend. We ended up really liking the restaurant. We were seated in the back room; it was set-up like a library and had a really charming feel. The tables were far-enough apart to really enable conversation between all of us without feeling like we were being intruded upon. The brunch menu featured an appealing array of breakfast and lunch items; we all had difficulty choosing what to eat because everything looked so good! All of us ended up being pleased with our food. Service was down-to-earth, super-friendly, and attentive. Prices were reasonable. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd visit regularly, and as a visitor to Chicago, I'd happy return should future visits bring me to Andersonville. Recommended!

Went to dinner tonight with a friend and it was such a great experience! It was a beautiful night so we ate outside. Our server Dan was the best. We found out later through conversation that he had only been working there for two months! We would have never known as he was so quick, respectful and knew the menu very well. For an appetizer we had the crab cakes. They were moist, cooked perfectly and filled with crab. The price was a little high though. We then got the lobster mac and cheese and it was soooooo good. Creamy and very tasteful. It had a good amount of lobster. We also got the steakhouse salad and the meat was cooked just how I wanted it, Med Rare. The salad was light and not soaked in dressing as some other salads can be. The sweet potato fries with maple dressing were the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Finally, for dessert we got the Reese's cookie with vanilla ice cream. It was a little dry but good. We splurged and also got a second dessert which was the BOBTAIL'S SEASONAL ICE CREAM PIE!!!! It was sooooooo good! The graham cracker crust with the ice cream and fresh fruit was so refreshing. I will definitely be returning!

Without a doubt the best pint of Guinness in Chicago! I know thats a tall claim to make but of the pints that I had these were by and far the best. A really lovely bar in Andersonville away from the bustle of downtown but really and truly worth a trip. Loved this place!

I was hot, tired and thirsty. I had passed this place several times before. I checked out the menu and saw shepard's pie. I was hooked. I went in and saw the back of the place with walls of books and other decorations that were reminesent of an earlier age. The hostess was gorgeous but with out the attitude. She was personable and funny. The waiter was a very friendly gentle man. I looked at the menu and was suddenly at a loss. There was the shepard's pie but home made chicken pot pie and the burgers looked pretty good. It was hot so the French onion soup was a pass but maybe sometime later. I had the Shepard's pie and was not disapointed. The place is about $2 too expensive for me but between the AC and diet Coke, I treated myself. With the decoe and staff it would be a great place to take someone special as a treat. One napkin said "Wilde." That is a fine restaurant on Broadway and this place reminded me of there. Not a bad thing. They offered to me a complete gluten free menu.

We ordered the Chefs Burger which can be different daily, a Salmon Burger and a Corned Beef Reuben along with fries and onion rings. All the sandwiches were very good. Onion Rings cooked to perfectly. Fries on the other hand were small and overcooked. Overall it's worth a stop!

We went mid-afternoon on a weekday, place was dead and we wondered if this was a big mistake. It wasn't. The atmosphere is a great Irish pub sort of theme, and has a very authentic feel, as opposed to places that try but don't quite get there. The waiter was great, with lots of helpful suggestions. Two of us had (angus) burgers, one Heart of Palm Salad, and one Grilled Cheese w/ Tomato soup. Everything was delish, and clearly homemade. The Grilled Cheese was wonderful, 3 (or 4?) different cheeses. Definitely get the 1/2 sandwich combo with soup, otherwise it would be death by cheese. The burgers were fantastic. The salad was great as well, large with very fresh ingredients.

Having looked for a gluten free dining option, Lady Gregory's looked like the perfect choice. Little did we know that it would exceed expectations on all levels! Food - sooo good - I mean SO good. My husband and I decided to share- something which can always be a little iffy given portion sizes, etc. No disappointment here! The side of roasted beets was not only delicious, but a serving sized for two. The flatbread - something gluten free eaters rarely can enjoy - was flavorful, crisp and a total delight, The Scottish salmon was cooked to perfection, mouth watering and a huge portion - perfect again for two. Service- our server was thoroughly professional and just the right degree of friendly. Started off inquiring if we had been there before. Little did we know that being 'virgin' attendees would provide an added treat of flourless chocolate cake, on the house! The manager even came over to ask how these 'first-timers' enjoyed the meal. And not just perfunctory- true interest and engagement. Unbelievable all around! Will we go again? First time we can!

Lady Gregory's is a fun surprise Irish pub. The food menu is larger and better than a typical Irish Pub. We had a variety of food and they were all wonderful! We even tried a sampling of desserts and they were awesome! My only personal complaint: How do you have an Irish pub that doesn't serve Harp Beer from Guiness??? Our evening was wonderful and we plan to head back!

This was our first visit to this restaurant and we enjoyed it very much. It was crowded so service was a little slow but our server was helpful and friendly. We had to order from the brunch menu and I would like to return for the lunch menu since there were some very interesting items listed. The fish and chips were delicious, although they were not really hot when we received them - just a little warmer than lukewarm. Great pub atmosphere in a fun neighborhood.

I know this is a bar. That goes without saying and that part of this place is awesome but the Ultimate Grilled Cheese was SO GOOD! Gruyere, aged cheddar, mozzarella, brie, roasted tomato concassé, fried shallots, candied bacon confetti melted in parmesan-crusted sourdough. To die for! Great service and a great location on Clark in Andersonville.

It helped that I ordered perfectly, but along with a good Stone Pale Ale, I had a bowl of French Onion Soup, and the Goat Cheese, Basil, and Roasted Tomato Flat Bread. The soup was good, though I like a crunch to my croutons (boo hoo). The flat bread was great, and the combination was awesome. I'd eat here again, and again, and again....

My wife and I just had a really nice lunch at Lady Gregory's a few days ago. We had never been there before, but had heard good things about it. The atmosphere was really cozy, and the place is centered around a really beautiful wooden bar, that just seems to radiate "Welcome - real and sit down". We ate a booth right by the bar, and I was a little apprehensive - thinking it was much more a bar than a restaurant, so how good could the food be. Answer - the food was great! We started with the deviled eggs, which were flavored with a wonderful hint of spice Thai pepper oil, and topped with a garlic crisp. Yummy! We then had a portabello mushroom wrap (me) with the edamame and corn salad (both great), while my wife had a bowl of the bean soup (which was delicious). The food was fresh and filled with wonderful flavors. The service was really friendly and welcoming, but was at times pretty slow. It seemed a bit surprising since the restaurant wasn't too full at all when we got there (early - just before lunch time). For some reason it just seemed a little short staffed with the same couple of people working hard to cover everything. They were all gracious and friendly - just a little backed up. Overall a great lunch and I would go back anytime!

My wife and I enjoyed a very welcoming lunch at Lady Gregory's on a Chicago trip the last week of May. Our server was John and the bar tender was Wes. All of the food ordered was very good, but the special soup of the day which we added to our order was seafood chowder. It was rich with salmon and scrod, and probably the best seafood chowder that we have ever had, including chowders in Boston, California, and the NJ shore. From the regular menu we also ordered a chicken wing appetizer, bean soup, and mushy peas which were all prepared very well. Wes was particularly helpful. I asked to sample a lager on tap, and he recommended Krombacher, which went perfectly with lunch. We will definitely try to return on our next Chicago visit.

Lunch on a spring-like winter's day. Finding parking was a bit of a challenge but once accomplished, we soon sat down in a wood-paneled room outfitted as a library with a fireplace and bookshelves. It's a big place with several such rooms. The menu had a good selection of familiar dishes..soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, plus some items like lobster mac and cheese, chicken pot pie and grilled salmon, so something for everyone. I had Asian chicken salad. It was very large, fresh and had a good dressing. The sliced chicken breast was still warm when it arrived. I was almost able to finish it and was happy with it. My friend had a grilled salmon sandwich on a brioche bun, which featured a quite large, well-prepared piece of salmon filet. The staff was cordial and very helpful to my friend who walks with a cane and had a broken arm in a sling...as it was raining, one of the staff held an umbrella over her head while she left the restaurant and helped her into the car, and invited us to "come again". Very nice. Lunch for 2 with a pot of tea came in just under $40 with tax but before tip, a fair price for a good-quality meal.

This is a great neighborhood restaurant that makes space for everyone. Large group or small, the food is tasty, the service friendly and the atmosphere lively, but not too loud.

I wish I could say better things, but I can't. I've tried several times, living in the neighborhood as I do, and half of my meals weren't great. The other half were fine. I had a really disappointing, watery salad my second to last visit, and on what may end up my last visit, my chicken pot pie had several bones in it. (One, maybe. More than one, not good.) I'd go again if a friend really wanted to, but it's not a go-to place for me.

I love places that are not big chains. This is a great place to eat. The Mac n cheese is amazing and the drinks were all fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and hands on. We really enjoyed it.

A very neat and good restaurant! They have a very extensive menu with tons of options, including a plethora of GF options. I had their GF grilled cheese with bacon and it was amazing! Can't wait to go back again next time I'm up in that neighborhood!

Went for an early dinner - smart. Place was not crowded or noisy and service attentive. Food was very good - Irish curry fries were super, would have liked a whole dinner of them. Will try to duplicate at home. All portions were generous - Shepherd's Pie, Chicken curry, pot roast and mussels. Bread pudding was pretty special too - order one for the table to share. Moderately priced by Chicago standards.

This is a big, modern bar / restaurant in Andersonville. Very buzzy and vibrant, great staff and charming bar tenders. Very attractive decor , it's a good spot for a laugh and a cocktail!

Lady Gregory’s brings the vibes of an Irish pub to Andersonville. They’ve got a lot of space and a beautiful bar in the center of the restaurant. My girlfriend has been wanting to come here ever since she heard they have gluten-free fish and chips. They were fantastic and cooked perfectly. Sometimes you have to worry about soggy fish, but these were crisp and flaky. They were also served on top of delicious French fries. We also ordered the gluten-free wings. They were good not great but it was more of a personal preference as I don’t really like meatier drumsticks. Overall, we had a great time dining at Lady Gregory’s. Also, bonus points for having a dedicated gluten-free fryer for people with a gluten-allergy or celiac.

I am new to Andersonville and I always judge a neighborhood on the people and the food. This place is a gem. Great vibe, friendly staff who care, and free video games (cant go wrong with that). Food is excellent, great beer selection...

Every Christmas Eve we purchase tickets to see a show downtown and then have our family dinner at Lady Gregory. We enjoy the traditional look of the pub and our favorite items on the menu.

We stopped in on a Sunday night around 5 pm and were able to get a booth for our party of 6. We ordered a variety of appetizers and multiple rounds of drinks and held the table for over 4 hours. The food was great and the staff’s service and attitude throughout was wonderful. We also want to give an extra shout out to Jesse and Sahara who were both fabulous.

After a business meeting, my friends had the (wild) idea of going to an Irish pub. Granted, we had an O'Laughlin in the group. The food was bar food--burgers, flatbreads, fried anything. The had some more substantial entrees with trendy ingredients like quinoa. (kee-no-ah, by the way), but we wanted a lighter meal. I understand that MY neighborhood bar is known for potent drinks, but I asked my friends if could detect any scotch in my drink. The flatbread was pedestrian. I like the option of a medium rare burger, but it was still a hockey puck. Loud, youngish crow who use the word "party" as a verb. Not a good choice for food...or scotch and soda.

My friend and I stopped in here yesterday for lunch. She had been there many times but this was my first visit. Since we came early, there were very few patrons. The menu was limited but my friend suggested we split the burger. Although I didn't see it on the menu, we got the Classic Burger and it came with fries. The burger was big, not gigantic, but big. The fries were some of the best I've ever had. The service was excellent. Would definitely return for another burger.

The chicken wrap I had wasn't the most amazing thing ever, but it was still good. The appetizers and sides were amazing, and the beer selection was even better. The atmosphere is great. It's truly a great neighborhood gem!

Last three visits have been the same- very bad. It’s a beautiful space and used to be a favorite. Food has been exceptionally bad. Hopefully management will get back involved and fix it. If not, we’d hate to lose you.

Was there with my family for food and drinks. GREAT service. Wait staff was phenomenal, attentive, responsive and precise; brought to 7s exactly what we requested in a timely manner. Cocktails were sub-par (how can you fail an Irish coffee in an Irish bar?). Food was hit or miss. Appetizers were decent (we got the flatbread). Burgers were kits ok, lobster Mac and cheese really good and the Reuben borderline inedible (tasted like they added sugar on to of the meat). Fries were just ‘meh’. Disappointed overall after spending over $220 for our family that afternoon . I might give them another opportunity but we’ll see with so many options around.

What a charming and delightful place! We sat in the library and Taylor was our server. Put together a DYI scotch flight, which consists of you selecting four scotches that are brought to you in .5 oz tasting glasses. Did the McCallan 21 Fine Oak, the Balvenie 21, the Isle of Jura 16 and the Talisker Storm. We split the Brussels sprouts and the grilled cheese! Both were amazing. As was Taylor’s service. If you’re in the Andersonville neighborhood... a must!

I like this place. We like to be seated in the “library” which is in the back and quieter, as it can get noisy here during busy times. Had a lovely waitress who was very patient with us as we had some special needs. The gluten-free brussels sprouts were terrific as was the artichoke dip. You’d never know these were gluten-free. Great salads and burgers and my husband loves the chicken pot pie. We had the flourless chocolate cake and that was terrific. The only disappointed patron was me. It was my birthday and I decided to treat myself to a Ruben and fries. The menu mentioned maple syrup and I should have paid attention to that. It was a sickeningly sweet sandwich which I just could not stomach. Should have asked for a return item, but we were pressed for time. Heated up today it was even worse, so I had to dispose of it. Very atypical Ruben and I don’t suggest ordering it. Otherwise, I’d give this five stars. Check this place out when in Andersonville. Recommended. Just steer clear of the Ruben.

We have probably been here 20 times in total in the last four years and always had a great experience all the way around, I often brag about your place except the last two times. Last night we ended up walking out after nearly ten minutes of sitting at a table (my wife and I and our two children). At one point during waiting a server who saw us said that our server will be there shortly no one ever came so we left. He was nonchalant about it. The second to last time the service was not personal our waiter was very aloof. The waiter simply didn’t give a you know what (rhymes with duck) it’s as if he wanted to be somewhere else. It’s gonna be a hard sell for us to ever come back.

After eating at, and loving Wilde, I was sure I would love this place. I should have left right away, because the noise level was annoying even while we waited for a table. We were squeezed into the smallest booth I have ever seen, given a menu and forgotten for a while. The food was just okay, the lobster mac and che ese being our best dish. We simply could not talk at all and felt stressed when we left.

Loved the gluten free menu! The gluten free ales were awesome! I had the lobster mac n cheese and I wish I had more room in my stomach. Only complaint is that I would skip the appetizers. I think the gluten free baguette was just something bought at a grocery store and toasted.. I could do that myself!

We had a very good late homey meal here - meatloaf and shepherds pie. The whiskey menu is extensive. The whole place is noisy, and the food is spicy and lots of it. We got 2 meals out of the initial servings, stay at Guesthouse Hotel w/kitchen so you can take advantage of your choices.

Stopped into Lady Gregory's based on a friend's recommendation. We decided to sit inside based on the temperature. If it's chilly and shady in the outdoor seating area it's best to eat inside. We decided to have 4 appetizers instead of a full entree. The roasted beets, grilled cauliflower steak, deviled eggs and roasted Brussels sprouts were more than enough for two people. The ginger beer and ice tea spirits were good too. Our waiter was not as attentive. I would normally give a 5 star rating but feel a 4 star rating is warranted. We will return again for sure!

The food choice was good and the quality/taste very satisfying. We did find the cocktails expensive (gin martini on the rocks for $16, draft beer $9) and we weren't really happy with the mandatory but unannounced 2.9% transaction fee and the tip choices on the handheld checkout devices (30%, 20%, or 25%) which applied to the full dinner price including the high Chicago tax too. So what could have been a 5 star rating wasn't.

just have a burger or the brussel sprout salad and you will definitely come back for more! all the food is delicious, it's definitely a step up for just bar food. and they are super friendly

We enjoyed lunch today at this quaint Irish pub in the heart of Andersonville. Our server James was very helpful and the food was delicious. Amazingly they provided an complete gluten free menu in addition to their standard one. The Shepard’s Pie was wonderful.

I wanted to go to an Irish Pub in Chicago and so looked online for reviews. Lady Gregory's came up time and again so off I went. It's a really nicely crafted bar with plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. The food options are pretty standard, but really well prepared. The beer and whiskey options are great and the wait staff are fabulous. We even had a waitress from Ireland, so that was cool.

Friday night sangria and burgers with friends this week at Lady Gregory's. Good selection of options, small plates, sandwiches, extensive beer list and a few fun cocktails. Great attentive service, fair prices, very nice atmosphere and location. and don't forget the mac and cheese! you'll enjoy.

Lady G is a great environment. The bar is a warm and fun place to spend time with friends but eat as well. The menu has healthy and tasty options. The bartenders are incredibly effective and friendly. Lady g is a true neighborhood bar and restaurant. Highly recommended!!

Not over the top, but very tasty and you get a cute mini beer to go with it. Also had the fish and chips which was very satisfying as well. Did not feel uncomfortable dining solo, good vibes all around!

I completely enjoy the breakfast/brunch menu here, not to say other food is not good., I love their chipolte turkey burger. This just happens to be my weekend breakfast spot. There is something about how they prepare and what they put in that makes any breakfast item I've eaten her tastes so good. I'm a bit over the over the top, caveman sized breakfast places. I don't like bland food but I don't want everything included in the kitchen sink on my breakfast plate, I've found that to be true at some other places. I adore their 2 eggs and meat meal, you get your eggs, choice of great meats, ham, bacon (two ways, good luck picking) or sausage. I go for the ham, nice thick piece of toast with home made strawberry jam and pick of a side. Can't go wrong with Irish grits, but potatoes are great as well. Benedict dishes are good as well as their breakfast burrito, though half of that went home with me. Best recommendation I've found is to share the side version of the biscuits and gravy with a friend and both eat half, their gravy is loaded with flavor but rich, I could only eat half of one. I want to know who can eat a full order by themselves :)

Our party of six walked into Lady Gregory's Irish Bar and Restaurant hungry and thirsty. We walked out satisfied. Located in eclectic Andersonville, Lady Gregory's fits the neighborhood well. It has a pub atmosphere and can astound customers with a full, leather-bound beer menu. The food menu is extensive and varied. It can take you from the expected -- meat loaf, reuben, burgers, chicken pot pie -- to the out-of-the-ordinary (roasted cauliflower steak, cavalo nero soup, Bombay kale & chickpea stir fry and Oscar's Buddha bowl). The choices we made proved wise ones. The chicken pot pie brimmed with chicken and vegetables under a flaky cover. The crispy onions sprinkled atop the meat loaf not only added texture, but a delightful burst of flavor. Also well received were the goat cheese, roasted tomato and basil flatbread, the macaroni and cheese (with bacon), and the baby carrots in the whiskey glaze. The Bombay kale stir fry was a winner. Our server was patient and listened well. The wait for our food was more than reasonable and the dining area provided enough noise reduction that conversation was easy to have. The prices were not unreasonable. The child in our group was welcomed and decided from several selections on a kids' menu. Overall, Lady Gregory's provided an amicable and pleasing experience.

What a great day to enjoy the Cubs win than to eat a great meal here and have all the screens on the parade, the players, owners, and managers of the team. The food is amazing and The bar is great. It's a cozy place to eat some awesome food.

Loved the country chicken pot pie! My daughter had the mussels which she said were yummy. The cocktails were very good too.Had an overall enjoyable time.

The waiter should not bother introducing himself if we're never going to see him again. Had to get our own water refills from the bar. Had to ask for side of mayo twice and still didn't get it. Had to flag another waiter for the dessert menu which we got but he took forever to come back for our dessert order. The food wasn't just mediocre, it was bad.

Area is very nice with lots of shops around. We went to eat in the evening and most things were closed. Food was very good. It seemed like everything we ordered to share at the table was fried but that was our choice. Teenage girls had a little trouble finding something to eat but they were able to find something and loved it. Service was great. Wish I would have gotten the waiters name. I would recommend him. We had a little bit of a wait but it was Friday night at 7:00.

If you are looking for a genuine Irish pub feel and experience. Look no further....the dark woods and interior is a must. The Irish Whiskey selection is second to none and the food was great.

Our waitress was excellent! We had two of the four of us that have dietary restrictions and the waitress made sure all our needs were accommodated. My shepherd's pie was great and the gluten free mac and cheese was a big hit with our daughter. Our grandson can not have dairy and there were many items on the menu that took care of his needs as well. The service was prompt and the restaurant was very casually elegant. We'll make sure to dine there again when we're back in Chicago.

Consistent in every way. Lady Gregory's knows the formula, understands their customers and delivers consistently. Always happy to enjoy a meal at Lady Gregory's.

This is a popular spot among the Bar and Grilles in Andersonville. Nice atmosphere and not as noisy as the other spots so my expectations were high. We ordered Fish and Chips and their signature burger. The fish was quite good but the chips were awful. The burger itself was nothing special loaded with ingredients that were mostly unidentifiable. Trying a little too hard on the burger in an attempt to make it different I think. Nothing that a robust grilled burger with a reasonable amount of garnishing couldn't fix. Back to the chips which are their regular french fries. Come on guys, how hard it is the serve a crisp order of fries. Finally the service started out OK but it also deteriorated quickly. We actually had to flag a different server to order desert after not seeing ours for quite a while. Apparently he was " going to be our server" for a little while, not the whole time. There is no reason this can't be a nice spot with a little effort from the wait staff and the chef but for us it failed to meet expectations.

The Lady is a place we've enjoyed with friend every time we come to the heartland. This time we could pass up a walk together to the the Lady yet again. Always great, always charming, and the staff always pleasant. Lady Gregory is a must if you enjoy local Chicago neighborhood charm.

We really enjoyed the whole experience at Lady Gregory's! Beautiful location, with the windows open on a nice day...nice staff and a great menu. We had a variety of foods, and all were excellent. I had the best buffalo chicken sandwich I've had in years with a really nice salad, and my wife had the curry chicken pot pie, which was also exceptional. Good beer and drink list as well. Very pleasant experience!

We went here with our friends on New Year's Eve prior to going to the theater. Our experience from start to finish was great. I had the chicken pot pie which was tasty, flaky and excellent. My husband had the meatloaf which we really enjoyed. For dessert I had the key lime pie. Our server (Justin - I believe) was extremely friendly and helpful. The ambiance was also very nice.

Great spot in a awesome neighborhood. Good food and drinks. Our server kind of sucked but the people I went with said the service is normally better.

The food here is amazing, haven’t had anything I don’t like. Meatloaf, grilled cheese, and Mac and cheese are really good. Great Irish looking pub and the drink selection is great. The only issue is the service is hit or miss. They have two locations and I’ve only been to the Andersonville location.

Andersonville is a fun part of Chicago. Definitely stroll along Clark St to enjoy the quirky shops and canine friends. Lady Gregory was a fun spot for a meal. We looked to book online in advance, and the app we used essentially said nothing available. We went in person and they advised no reservations on weekends. The hostess advised us that most of the wait is really for the outdoor tables. I'm not keen on eating outside so we got a table right near the window, but since it was nice weather we got both the fresh air and an indoor table. Truffle fries and the brussel sprouts were excellent. My shepherd's pie for main course was also very good. They didn't have all the beers available that were on the menu but good substitutes.

Andersonville is a super spot to stay in and I love visiting Lady Gregory's any time I'm here. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and amazing food (especially that awesome classic burger).

Lady Gregory has a fun and upbeat atmosphere! The service was great! It was very busy but we were served in a short amount of time. The food was delicious. I would definitely visit again.

I had a desire tonight for a sea food and white wine I live in Andersonville close by so I decided to try this place out. The stuff was nice because they were opening me a door anytime I went to washroom. One of the stuff told me to go to men washroom to wash my hand lol. Anyway I ve got a mussels with amazing soup. The mussels were awesome, but one of the toast I have was too hard, the other one was good. Instead of wine I ve got sangria, I liked all besides the yellowish apple it just didn't make the sangria look good, I like fresh white cut of apples. The beer menu was a really impressive it was good time, food looked and tasted well. I have a suggestion for a waiters to leave two wine cards so in the same time two people can order I am not sure why we ve got only one book? I was sitting outside but I did like the the décor of the place inside its really huge. I am glad I eat and drink there.

The first thing I noticed was the rich woodworking, cozy ambient lighting, and the ornate decorations, which came across as classy without being presumptuous. The menu is extensive, there's plenty of beer to choose from, with all kinds of regional micro-brews available. The meal was delicious and the portion sizes were moderate to generous. I left feeling deeply sated, and look forward to going back when I'm in Chicago next.

I'd never even heard of this place before last week, but clearly I've been missing out! My mom and my friend and I were seated at a big table right in front of a fireplace in the back room. I can't really imagine a better start to a chilly evening - who doesn't love a bar with a fireplace?? The backroom is cozy and lined with bookshelves; the atmosphere certainly invites lingering. We shared a bunch of small plates - deviled eggs, lemon chili olives, pan-roasted brussels sprouts, warm-roasted beets, and the fig jam - prosciutto - blue cheese flatbread. Phew! They have a sizeable bottled beer list, but I went with red wine instead. The standouts were the brussels sprouts (simple but delicious), the beets (same thing), and the flatbread. The flatbread was pretty sparse in terms of ingredients, but each ingredient was so delicious that I loved the overall effect. Just wish they'd been more liberal wtih the toppings! The lemon chili olives were abundant, but really too salty for me. Yes, I know olives are salty, but these seemed especially so. We couldn't finish them between us even though I wasn't exactly stuffed, I just stopped wanting such a salty snack. Food is above average but not re-inventing the wheel and I think they could do more to spice it up. It's the atmosphere where this place really shines. We had the most amazing colored glass paneling on the ceiling above our table too! I'd come back here anytime for a drink and a few little snacks but I think for dinner you'd be better served elsewhere.

The occasion was lunch with a college roommate from years ago, near her workplace. Friendly service, but not hovering, and no problems that we lingered over lunch. Excellent portabello and red pepper sandwich, chicken club, and sweet potato fries. We even found free packing, only two blocks away. There was outdoor seating though we opted for a booth inside.
