What people say

O'Sullivan's Public House is a charming neighborhood pub that has been a staple in downtown Forest Park since 2003. The building itself has a rich history, having been a road house in the 1890s and home to various establishments over the years. The attention to detail during the remodeling process is evident, with the original copper ceiling and walls restored to their former glory, and even the foot-rest of the bar being a former fireman's pole from a Chicago fire station. The wooden tables and chairs were purchased from The Berghoff restaurant when it closed its downtown location, adding to the unique character of O'Sullivan's.

The menu at O'Sullivan's Public House offers daily food specials that are sure to satisfy any craving. Their new American cuisine is top-notch, with dishes like their famous fish and chips or their mouth-watering burgers being fan favorites. And let's not forget about their impressive selection of craft beers on tap!

One of the standout features of O'Sullivan's is their beer garden, which now boasts a retractable roof added in 2010 for year-round use. It's the perfect spot to enjoy some drinks with friends or catch up with family while enjoying some fresh air.

Overall, O'Sullivan's Public House is an excellent choice for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and atmosphere in Forest Park. With its rich history and attention to detail, it truly stands out as one of the best pubs in town.
