I happened upon this place when a friend came in from out of town and was staying at O'Hare and wanted something close. I ish I knew about it before then. What a great Irish Pub in Park Ridge. Parking was easy right on the street. Many establishments on this section of Main St have taken over the sidewalks in front (during Covid) and have kept the areas blocked off to extend restaurant eating space. We sat at a high boy table and they had a nice foot rest so your feet weren't dangling. That's a big plus in my book. There are a ton of bars and restaurants that miss the mark on this key thing. Don't let people's feet dangle, but in a dang foot rest. The appetizers looked tasty, but instead we...
Had my sons communion party here which was a disaster from the beginning, the staff cannot accommodate parties. Unfortunately, decided to give it a second try thinking it was just a busy day, but come to find out this is how they run their business. Held my brothers memorial service here with the understanding of the menu and beverage items included. The owner, Jerry was of course not present for the event, which is probably typical so he can leave his unprofessional employees run the show. We were told they could accommodate our party but was not aware it would be split into two separate rooms, and again, told one price on the food and beverages and charged another. Do yourself a favor and...
I had the pleasure of dining at The Harp And Fiddle, a charming family-owned Irish-style restaurant that truly stands out. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like I was stepping into a cozy Irish pub. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall homely vibe. The menu offers a great variety of traditional Irish dishes, and the seafood risotto I ordered was absolutely delicious. It was creamy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with fresh seafood. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients and preparation. They also have an impressive selection of alcohol, from classic Irish whiskeys to a variety of beers on tap, making it a great spot for both a c...
I was very excited to try this place out with some friends for my birthday. We walked in and at first was going to sit at the bar, but then noticed there would be a tight area for us to sit in so we started to walk towards an empty clean table (we saw multiple of them available). This waitress storms up and says uh, excuse me, you need to be seated at the host stand , her face in anger and total body language just gave you the feeling like you were a child being put in time out. I kindly replied back saying no problem because, that 's totally fine. But the way she reacted was so immature. I 'm sure she was just having a bad day, but I won 't be coming back after this experience.

The door of this bar indicates that it is open until 2 am, but when we visited on October 8 around 9:30 pm, we were informed by a rude woman that the kitchen was closed and that we needed to order drinks at the bar ourselves. Later, she announced a "last call" at 10 pm, despite the advertised closing time of 2 am. This inconsistency between the stated hours and the actual service provided by the staff led to a disappointing experience. We used to frequent this establishment due to its proximity to our home, but the poor service and attitude of the staff have deterred us from returning. Service and atmosphere both rated as 1 out of 5.
Atmosphere: 5/5
Draft Beer: 5/5
The atmosphere at this restaurant is great, and the draft beer selection is top-notch. However, I had to give an overall rating of 4 because the food was just okay. The burgers were very basic and seemed like they were pre-made and not freshly prepared. The shrimp salad had an abundance of tiny shrimp that didn't seem very high quality. While nothing was terrible, none of the dishes were standout enough to warrant a return visit. The prices were a bit steep as well, with an average cost of over $100 per person. I would definitely return for drinks, but I would likely opt to eat somewhere else.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Harp Fiddle, a family-owned restaurant, and I had an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it ideal for both casual meals and special celebrations. The food was outstanding, with each dish overflowing with flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks menu was just as impressive, featuring a wide range of creative cocktails and a thoughtfully curated wine list. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, which enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking great food and drinks!
Harp Fiddle is the ideal venue for your next event. We recently held a baby shower there and had a wonderful time. Jerry assisted us with all the planning and was incredibly accommodating. Their luncheon package offers a wide variety of options. We opted for the buffet and everyone loved the food. The bread pudding dessert was especially delicious. The service was top-notch, with the staff always friendly and ready to help. Starting the event with mimosas and ****** Mary's was a big hit! We will definitely be returning for our next event.

Love Jerry, the manager of this place. What a great spot to meet friends for good food, drink and a nice atmosphere. Don't miss the shephard's pie!!
The food was excellent. Being dairy and gluten free dining out is difficult. No salad for me. Braised lamb shank was outstanding. Will be returning.
