Is There Such a Thing as the Most Irish Neighborhood in Chicago?

Let's get one thing straight: everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day. But when the green beer hangover fades, the question remains: where does the real Irish magic happen in Chicago?

The South Side: Ireland North?

If you're looking for a place where the accent is as thick as a pint of Guinness and the love for corned beef and cabbage is a religion, look no further than the South Side. Neighborhoods like Beverly, Mount Greenwood, and Bridgeport are practically Ireland North. You'll find more O'Connors and Murphys than you can shake a shillelagh at.

But don't be fooled by the stereotypes. These folks are as tough as nails. They’ve seen Chicago winters, after all! So while they might love a good pint and a bit o' craic, don't mess with their block party.  

Beyond the South Side

Now, don't get me wrong, the South Side is where the Irish heart beats strongest, but there's Irish flair scattered all over the Windy City. Lakeview, Edison Park, and even parts of the North Side have their own little pockets of Irish charm.  

So, is there a definitive answer to the question of Chicago's most Irish neighborhood? Probably not. It's like trying to pick your favorite child - you love them all for different reasons.

But if you're looking for a place where you can feel like you've stepped into a cozy Irish pub without leaving the city, the South Side is your best bet.

How to Find Your Inner Irishman/Irishwoman

  • How to spot an Irish pub: Look for green awnings, lots of wooden accents, and people wearing way too much green on Tuesdays.
  • How to order a proper pint: Ask for it "neat" and don't add any of that fancy craft beer nonsense.
  • How to dance an Irish jig: Just flail your arms and legs wildly while pretending to be a leprechaun on speed.
  • How to tell an Irish joke: Borrow one from the internet and blame it on your great-grandma.
  • How to appreciate Irish music: Listen to The Dubliners, U2, and anything with a fiddle.
