The Landmark Tavern

It has been there forever and the food is consistently delicious and inexpensive. Patah, the waiter, is one of a kind, always smiling and with great suggestions for what’s good on the menu. Also, in 1976, I was married there on the second floor living room setup. It was a truly magical wedding reception!

Michael Younge and Donnchadh O'Sullivan have always served up the best food, libations, music and ghostly history — all in one wonderful tavern! The one place I always bring out-of-town friends to, especially if they hit town on a Monday night in time for the weekly craic. 

It’s older than I am and has a great history. Truly a part of Hell’s Kitchen. Michael and Donnchadh are very nice and the food is very good. I enjoy it there.

I’m from a very Irish neighborhood in Chicago, and I feel right at home. Maybe the best fish and chips I’ve ever had.

The owners provide a representative dose of the Republic of Ireland, coming from Counties Cork and Tipperary. The food is hot and well-prepared, the drinks chilled and strong, and the company is cordial and merry. Plus, they’ve been around since 1868, about the time we got our Hell’s Kitchen moniker, so we can see what the stevedores saw, speak easy over bangers/mash, and belly up at the mahogany like a gastro-pub ruffian. If you want live trad music, show up on Monday nights.

Treated like family always. The staff is always so kindly and welcoming and for a gluten and dairy free girl I CAN EAT THE WINGS! Yes, you read correctly — buffalo wings that aren’t breaded and no butter in the sauce! Don’t skimp on the fries — they’re some of the best in Hell’s Kitchen, hands down! And you must wash it down with a Tito’s slightly dirty martini that they mix to perfection! Is your mouth watering yet?

Speaking of local history, the Landmark is a must do when we have friends and family in town. The Monday night traditional Irish music sessions are not to be missed. Paired with traditional Irish fare, I can almost transport myself to the Hell’s Kitchen of the late 1800s-early 1900s.

Landmark Tavern is my happy place. Their food is delicious. I always look forward to Mondays when I can get down to Landmark and play in the Irish Seisiún run by Don Meade. The owners and servers are so supportive and kind.

The atmosphere and great burgers.

I've always loved a good local, and this place has it all. It's so cozy with all that beautiful dark wood and dim lighting. And of course, the landlords, Donnchadh and Michael, and the waiter, Pratap — all are brilliant for a good conversation about things that matter and things that don't.
