For a great while now Chicago has been the home of pretenders. Bars claiming to be ‘authentic Irish pubs.’ They throw up there maps of Galway. They adorn their walls with clever Guinness posters. Some even throw Irish rugby matches on the television to make it really feel like the motherland. Frauds. The whole lot of them.
What does your Irish bar do for you? Pour a Guinness with a shamrock in the head? That’s cute. We here at O’McDuffleycorn’s actually make you more Irish. We top off every Guinness with the ashes of a true dead Irishman. You are actually drinking down the Irishness. That’s how we do it.
See, we here at O’McDuffleyCorn’s Irish P & Whiskey G are dedicated at not only giving you a magnificent Celtic lounging experience, we also want you to come away a bit more Irish. And what says Irish more than bad tattoos. You pass out here and you are getting a tattoo of something over-the-top Irish and it’s gonna look real stupid. Maybe the Notre Dame Fighting Irish mascot, eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, atop a giant shamrock which itself is floating in an enormous pint of Guinness. It will cover your entire back and you will regret it and that consuming guilt makes you even more Irish. You are welcome.
What’s your Irish bars river situation? That’s a strange question, huh? By that I mean does it have a huge, raging river running through the center of the bar/rastaurant? I really doubt you said yes to that last question, but just in case you did I’ll follow-up with this: Do they dye that river green every half hour? The answer is no, we are the only bar that does that. In the world. Because we are Gaelicious.
Mommy and Daddy want to tie one on but they can’t find anyone to watch the little rascal? Bring the kid along and he could have just as much fun as the parents in our County Mayo dirt pit. Your children will have a blast in our authentic Irish soil. If they’re a little too dirty to get in the car when it’s time to leave, they can always wash up in our Celtic Sea water falls. We’ll supply the soap too, and yes it’s Irish Spring*. (Irish Spring is actually manufactured in Delaware, but for the love of God, I think you can follow the theme we’re going for here.)
And if ever there was a day to come out to O’McDuffleyC’s Irish Whiskey, why not make it this Saturday, the 23rd. From 4pm – 8pm, we shall be blessed by the presence of dwarf actor/mega-star Warwick Davis, star of the horror film ‘Leprechaun’ and it’s spin-off ‘Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood’ who will be in costume and signing autographs. Warwick Davis IS the Leprechaun.
So the next time you truly want that authentic Ireland feel but can’t afford the plane ticket to Killarney, head to O’McDuffleycorn’s Irish Pub & Whiskey Grill on historic Western Ave., just south of 103rd St. We’re located between FluffCorn O’Duffey’s and The Greenest Shamrock, across the street from that park where all the Puerto Ricans hang out.
