- GGeraldChicago / Illinois •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agoThe pub area was welcoming, cozy and with authentic Ireland furnishings. Great choice of Irish spirits. Liz was knowledgeable and friendly to everyone. We ordered the most delicious Scotch Eggs with our Irish draft beers. However one food item on the meal menu was a disappointment. The whiskey glazed ribs were dry and overcooked. The glaze all over the ribs was heavy in hot spices and less in a tasty, sweet whiskey glaze. The fried chicken meal tasted good except for the potatoes which tasted like instant, boxed potatoes. We will return in the future as the pub and dinner area is comfortable to enjoy drinks, conversation and delicious appetizers.More infoFrank O'Dowd's Irish Pub and GrillPrice: Moderate• Irish• Galena•4.6
