None truly embodies the true spirit of Ireland more than, Peggy Kinnane’s Irish Restaurant and Pub in Arlington Heights. What makes Peggy’s so unique is the fact that virtually every piece of the structure came directly from Ireland. All of the woodwork, including the bars themselves, were constructed and shipped directly from Ireland. Warm weather allows for tables outside around the beautiful perimeter. Children are welcome and free parking is available on the street and in a municipal garage just down the block. A professional staff, an inviting menu and an atmosphere that feels like Ireland all combine to make a visit to Peggy Kinnane’s Irish Restaurant and Pub an authentic and charming experience. Look for Irish food on the menu, Irish people serving and being served, and plenty of warm, friendly conversation with a few songs thrown in as the night goes on, and more than likely, you’ve found an authentic Irish pub, right here in Chicagoland.

                      They sat us directly next to a private birthday party. My grandparents struggled to hear our conversation which is disappointing. The main course came before the appetizer.

                      This night was a special night with a fantastic band playing. We had dinner with a great table thanks to Open Table reservation. Then enjoyed the band. Food was very good. Reasonable prices. Excellent attentive wait person.

                      Wonderfully varied menu. Great Irish food and more. Shepherds pie, salad, fish and chips, and burger were all enjoyed. Wish the noise level was lower.

                      We love Peggy’s. It’s more than just a local Irish pub. It’s whiskey selection is great. This time i had their shepherd’s pie. Nice deep gravy over the meat and veggies covered with an excellent potato top.

                      Service was very slow. We only saw our waitress 3 times at our table. Wasn’t knowledgeable about the menu and had no suggestions for entrées since some of us were never there. She never back back to ask about our dinner or to take another around of drinks. We had to ask the hostess for water at the table.

                      They would not honor the hours listed on the website listed via OpenTable for Happy Hour saying OpenTable was wrong. And although our reservation was 615 and the restaurant stated happy hour ended at 630 not the 7 pm time advertised they would not honor that pricing for our reservation. Again, we reserved for 615, they claimed happy hour pricing to 630 but would NOT honor pricing. Poor customer relations. Food average, drinks good, service....
