Kerryman Bar & Restaurant

I will admit I have a special place in my heart for the Kerryman, as it was one of my first bar experiences after moving to Chicago. This place turns into a complete mess when the bar crowd rolls in--which is actually a lot of fun with great music and a beautiful, young River North scene. During off hours the food is delicious simple bar food. They have turned up the classics and provide a great al fresco lunch on their comfy patio. Good weekends
