An amazing Irish bar where we watched an amazing rugby game between Irlande and France. It was like we were in the Irish stadium with an amazing crew and consumers. I really recommend this Irish jewel where everybody is treating you as a friend. The owner and his team are the heart of this incredible pub where the crowd is compact and eclectic... For the rugby fan who miss their team and the live game go there but you might want make a reservation before hand ...

Great place to watch a soccer game! It was 11am on a Saturday morning and the place was packed! Great energy and superb service. I’m pretty sure it was the owner or the manager (Irish guy) went above and beyond for us. I was there with my 5 month old baby, my wife and my father. I asked him to put on a local soccer game I wanted to watch and he was able to find a few tables and a tv and put the game on for us. Would 100% recommend this place for anyone looking to watch soccer and grab a cold pint of Guinness.

One of my favourite spots in Little Italy. A great choice of draft beers on tap and you can try them out before buying your favourite one. A friendly and professional barman and a relaxed atmosphere. And a great food menu as well. And drinks and food are affordable.

Classic pub with proper pints. Food was hearty and tasted good. Server was nice. It's definitely a popular spot to watch football with plenty of tvs. Was nice that they had charger outlets everywhere too.

I came here with two of my friends for a USMNT match last week, and it was well worth the drive from Antioch. It’s nice to be among other soccer fans with the game on multiple TVs, instead of begging the manager to put the game on for you in a corner somewhere. What’s even better is enjoying a Guinness that didn’t arrive in an ice-cold glass.The shepherds pie and wings were great, too.

The best part was the owner, and how often do you hear that? He wasn’t just in the building. He worked the room. He interacted with all his patrons. Everyone, us included, were made to feel like welcome, long-time friends (and I’d never seen this gentleman before).

It truly is an English pub, not some run-of-the-mill sports bar where no one knows your name, all the beers are light, and a beer glass freezes to your hand. Thank you, everyone, at The Embassy Public House for a great time!

If you're visiting Chicago and looking for a spot that truly captures the essence of a classic pub, The Embassy on West Taylor Street is a must-visit. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with open arms—not just by the friendly staff but by the regulars as well, creating an atmosphere that felt warm and genuinely inviting. As out-of-towners, it's always a bit intimidating to find a place that feels like home, but The Embassy made us feel like locals from the start.

We grabbed a couple of beers and ordered the fish and chips, which were nothing short of fantastic. The fish was perfectly battered, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired wonderfully with golden fries. It’s clear they put care into their food. It’s not just about the drinks, though—this place has a vibe that’s tough to beat. The combination of great food, a stellar selection of beers, and the genuine hospitality from both staff and patrons made our visit memorable.

We left feeling like we'd found a true gem in Chicago, and we can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Full Irish Breakfast. Great bartender and great banter. Immaculate vibes for a Sunday morning of football matches with breakfast and a pint. Will be back anytime I'm in Chicago.

Great little bar and a solid Celtic supporters club! I was in town for the weekend and caught the old firm game at 7.30am, great atmosphere and great service. I’ll be going back next time I’m in Chicago!
