Peggy Kinnane's Irish Restaurant & Pub

Iconic/NotableArlington Heights (suburb) · Irish Community-sourced, unverified
📍 8 N Vail Ave, Arlington Heights, IL 60005

Peggy Kinnane's didn't fake its way to feeling like an import -- the pub says every piece of the building's structure came directly from Ireland, a different claim than just decorating with Guinness mirrors, and it's the backbone of its case for being the most authentic Irish pub in the northwest suburbs.

$$

The place is family owned, staffed in part by Irish transplants, and the evenings lean into live songs rather than piped-in music. Inside, it sprawls: several distinct bars, multiple dining areas, and private party rooms that host everything from holiday parties to MLB playoff watch parties. The Jameson burger is the kitchen's own pick for signature dish and gets billed as award-winning; shepherd's pie and egg rolls are the most-praised plates among regulars, alongside fish and chips and a firecracker salmon.

A few recent reviews flag inconsistency specifically with the corned beef. Whisky dinners are listed as coming soon, and live entertainment expands in summer with tribute bands during festival season.
