The Dearborn

Super GemThe Loop · American/Irish-Influenced Community-sourced, unverified
📍 145 N Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60602

Sisters Amy and Clodagh Lawless grew up working in their family's restaurant in Ireland before bringing over 40 combined years of hospitality experience to open this in 2016, right on the edge of Chicago's Theater District. "Irish Born, Chicago Made" is how they describe it themselves, and the room backs that up: tufted leather booths, subway tile, vintage lighting, and custom murals depicting Chicago's own past rather than anything imported from Dublin.

Yes, the rabbit curry pot pie is exactly as good as people say. Order it once and you'll understand why nobody stops talking about it.

The Fish and Chips is the dish with the real credential — it beat Bobby Flay on Food Network — and Chef Aaron Cuschieri's Midwest-focused menu around it leans into elevated tavern comfort food: a burger regularly named among the city's best, signature steaks, Parmesan truffle fries. Sunday brings a jazz brunch with live music and fresh beignets that's become its own draw independent of dinner service.

Being steps from the Goodman and other Loop theaters makes this a genuine pre-show default for a lot of regulars, and the restaurant validates parking at the garage next door.
