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.

2 of us agreed best fish n’ chips ever. Shepherds Pie fantastic as always. 1 pound pretzel & cheese dip appetizer was wonderful. Server, Gavin was a hoot! Will ask for him again next time.

First time going there. Very loud,which I guess is ok for a younger crowd which we aren’t. Food good and Guinness cold so that is good. Just too loud for me but nothing wrong with food or service.

The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. Our server Bianca, was personable and attentive and willing to engage with us. I was looking forward to a good corn beef sandwich and I wasn't disappointed. The food was served quickly and was hot and flavorful. And there was a lot of it. We all had leftovers to take home. It got a little noisy as the night progressed, but you'd expect that on a Saturday night at an Irish Pub. This is one of my favorite restaurants and we're sure to return.,

This was my first bourbon tasting ever and I had a great time. The representative from Buffalo trace provided all sorts of information about each of the bourbons in the tasting Along with the bourbon they also provided a few snacks so we weren’t just sitting there drinking bourbon the whole time. I had a blast and I would recommend this experience and Peggy Kinane’s to anyone interested in bourbon and anybody interested in just having a great time

Overall Peggy’s is a good place to go with friends. Noise level was low when we were there for an early lunch. The dishes were all good with the exception of the meatloaf sandwich. The meat was dry and over cooked.
