The Wolfhound Bar and Kitchen

Wolfhound seems like a typical Chicago bar with TVs and ever-flowing beer, but it’s actually a bonafide Irish pub. Couples in the back split a full Irish breakfast (available all day) of tender bangers and rashers, while a solo reader at the bar can sip an expertly double-poured pint of Guinness. There’s usually a strong crowd of regulars any day of the week, but expect even more people sharing meaty black pudding pizza when there’s a rugby match on, or during their live music Tuesdays when fiddlers and pipers take over the front fireplace.
