Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant

This is our Go To place whenever we're at Downers Grove. Great food, (we've had the Corned beef & Cabbage, corned beef bites, and the Irish pudding! So good! ). Great Service! The staff are friendly, warm smiling people. Jackson was our waiter tonight and he did a good job in checking on us what else we needed. Great Atmosphere! They have a Live band playing every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They also have a private rooms for special events, corporate events, and more. Kitchen is open late until 1:00AM every Fridays and Saturdays. We had fun here tonight! Thanks!

Great atmosphere! Service was less than stellar. Don't bother with the corned beef sandwich. Absolutely pitiful. I would expect in an Irish joint I could get a decent sammich. It was all chopped up (mostly scraps it seemed) and sparse. For 17.00 I expected more. Huge disappointment. The band was really good though. Seven Soul brought it. Good spot for a beer, just skip the Ruben and corned beef sandwiches. They and truly awful.

Ballydoyle’s definitely nails the authentic Irish pub vibe. From the moment you walk in, it looks, feels, and even smells like a real pub, which I appreciated. The atmosphere alone makes it a comfortable place to grab a drink and hang out. Five stars when it comes to the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which always goes a long way and made the experience more enjoyable. As for the food, it was okay but nothing that really stood out. I ordered the shepherd’s pie, it was good overall, but I found it to be a bit too salty for my taste. Not bad by any means, just not something I’d go out of my way for again. All in all, Ballydoyle’s is a solid spot for the atmosphere and service, especially if you’re looking for a genuine pub experience. The food is decent, but not th

Great local dive bar I went because my brother-in-law was performing in the band up on the stage. The food was great once I finally received it. The service was fairly poor getting my food and drinks took about an hour and a half maybe even 2 hours. And the borrowers literally behind me. So I think if they improve their service could be quite a great place to go. It was packed so maybe that's just my experience.

You want real European beers you go here no BS soap water micro brews 3/4 of them suck. Ballydoyle are ice cold too. Kroneberg 1664, Harp, Carlsberg, Franziskaner, Krombacher, Thirsty yet.
