About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for craft beers
Great for live music

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.

New residents so our first time. Exceeding our expectations. Only suggestion, automatically bring malt vinegar with fish and chips.

Fun time at trivia night. Good food and service. Drinks were a little pricey, but that’s everywhere now.

After an hour and 20 minutes of sitting at our table the manager came over and asked us if we were finished. He was not friendly and gave us the impression we should be leaving. There were empty tables all around and no one was waiting. It’s says the reservation is for 2 hours and we were well under that time limit. Likely will not return. Very turned off.

This is obviously a busy holiday so I take that into consideration. I know that it’s a communication issue in outsourcing your reservations, but it would have been great to know in advance: 1. The times of scheduled entertainment are approximate- the dancers started late and we never got to see the bagpipers 2. The menu is different for the holiday 3. There is a 90 minute limit, service will be terrible, and you will be rushed and asked to move your chair every minute because it’s overcrowded.

We were seated right in the aisle, there were so many people just standing around us we couldn’t even enjoy our meal or even hear each other talk. The food was not cooked properly and the atmosphere was less than ideal. Overall it was a very unpleasant dining experience for the amount of money we spent. Very disappointing.

Our server Selena was wonderful! The Lenten menu was much appreciated. Peggy's was packed and was on the festively noisy side, and everyone was dressed in green as was fitting to celebrate the Friday before St. Patrick's Day. It was a really fun lunch...
