Honey Butter Fried Chicken and Parachute may draw you to Avondale, but Chief O’Neill’s and their cozy bar, with its fireplace and extensive whiskey selection, will keep you in the hood all night long. Read more

Went on St Patrick's Day and they do it up right. Beautiful decorations, bagpipes, dancers and live music. Well worth the cover. I will def be back next year!

Awesome tiny loaves of soda bread with whipped butter. Get a Snake Bite and anything that comes with the chips. Chili is killer. Can't wait to try brunch.

Awesome outdoor area. Live Irish music when I went on a Sunday afternoon. Great place to quench your thirst.

I like the ambience, their bar good is on point and the booze is good. Good beer selection.

The aggressively seasoned meat has a nice balance of lean meat and fat on their corned beef sandwich, and is made in-house.

Try the Steak Salad and enjoy your meal in their beautiful garden seating when the weather is nice.

The outdoor seating is lovely on a nice day. However, the brunch food is sub par. Everything tastes like it was allowed to go cold and then later warmed up.

Great place to watch Barclays Premier League on Sundays with an early pint of the the good stuff. I recommend a Black & Tan to start your morning off.

If you like sweet drinks, ask Dahlia for her special Dahlia-tini. It's yummy.

You’re supposed to eat fish and chips in a musty pub for ultimate authenticity, right? Not come summer, and not when this Irish mainstay has a patio that’s a dead ringer. Read more
