Honeysuckle Road @ Bridie McKenna's

Chicago North Shore's Authentic Irish Pub & Restaurant!   As in Ireland, Bridie McKenna’s is a Community Pub or “Public House” which reflects the owners’ commitment to being an integral part of the community.  Bridie's exterior is designed in the style of a street in a Irish village, complete with post office, tobacconist and general Store. Come in and enjoy a good pint or a "wee dram" in the Victorian bar or relax in the Country bar while listening to Honeysuckle Road.  Savor the unique tastes of Ireland with the famous Shepherd's Pie, Irish Stew and Fish and Chips.  (OK, the Curry Chips are addictive!)  This is the friendliest welcome on the North Shore!


Music all around the world has become beautifully entwined. One is as likely to find the Sabar (a Senegalese drum) in Donegal, Dakar, or Dalton, GA; or the Fead‍óg (an Irish tin whistle) in Madrid, County Mayo, or Memphis, TN. Guitars and voices are universal.


This is the musical voyage that has brought Honeysuckle Road together. With backgrounds encompassing, American music from Classical, Country/Bluegrass, and Heavy Metal to Jazz, Rock & Roll, and Zydeco, our passion is to bring these disparate elements together in a way that honors the traditional while pushing the boundaries of the conventional.
