If you like the atmosphere of an Irish Chicago pub, you HAVE to go to Timothy O’Toole’s in Gurnee. The doors opened about a month ago on Grand Avenue, just across from Six Flags Great America. It is fantastic.
From its entrance, you have the option to eat in the dining area which is a little quieter or join others in the bar. There is plenty of seating; both at the bar and in booths alongside. There is even an area of the bar where you could gather a larger group of friends to listen to the entertainment.
O’Toole’s boasts of 19 beers on draught, daily drink specials, great burgers, affordable prices and they deliver. Kids 11 and under eat free with a paying adult on Tuesdays after 5pm. They even have a balloon artist to entertain. Wednesday night is karaoke night. I may have to gather some of the girls and run by to sing a few.
Every Saturday, there is live entertainment so we decided to go this past Saturday night to see Soul Acoustic. The band played from 9pm until midnight. It was a great three person group playing anything from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Men at Work…unbelievable. They even played a couple encores.
We were there a little later in the evening so we decided to try some of their appetizers and a couple of their draught beers. Timothy O’Toole’s, in the city, is known for their wings, so we had to try a couple different types of those. The traditional buffalo and the chipotle BBQ were quite yummy. We also had to try their Irish Nachos. I had never heard of them before; but they sounded too good to pass up. How can you go wrong with French fries topped with melted cheese, bacon, and scallions? And oh, don’t forget the sour cream on the side…Mmmmmmm!
If you want more information, visit http://www.timothyotooles.com/. It is the website for the downtown location; the Gurnee branch’s is under construction; however this will give you a good idea on menu, etc.
Just a heads up, the live entertainment for April is 4/11 Anthony Calderisi, 4/18 John Metzger and 4/25 Gypsy Acoustic. Don’t miss this new place to meet up with friends. It is really worth it!
