Back in the day, this was one of my favorite haunts. I'd even come in on the Metra from the city to visit Irish Times. Alas, times have changed for the Times. The old owner, Martin sold the bar to his nephew and while being of Irish descent, the nephew has managed to erase all Irish authenticity from this place. Today I associate Irish Times with high drink prices ($6 for a pint of Guinness), loud music of the 80's hair band metal genre not Celtic, and simply the rudest, worst service I've ever known this side of Burger King. The women who "work" at this bar seem to take pleasure in ignoring customers, as if they're doing you a favor just by taking your order. Food quality has dropped alongside everything else. However, on the plus side, it's no longer as crowded as it once was (and for good reason). Skip this place.
