Discover authentic Irish fare

Welcome to Irish Times Pub and Restaurant, a Brookfield favorite and one of Chicagoland’s most iconic Irish pubs — proudly pouring pints, serving up award-winning food, and creating memorable experiences for over two decades.

Located just minutes from the Brookfield Zoo, the BNSF Metra line, and a short drive from both downtown Chicago and the western suburbs, Irish Times is the perfect spot to gather with friends, family, or coworkers — whether you’re a local or just passing through.

As one of the very few pubs in the world to have sold over one million pints of Guinness, Irish Times is deeply rooted in Irish tradition, yet known for its modern comfort and welcoming charm. It’s no surprise it’s been voted Best Irish Pub in Chicago and recognized with multiple awards for both its food and its stunning outdoor patio.

The menu features a mix of traditional Irish favorites and contemporary pub fare — from hearty shepherd’s pie and corned beef reubens to fresh seasonal dishes and rotating specials. And don’t miss the famous All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry every Friday, a community favorite that draws a crowd week after week.

In the warmer months, the award-winning patio becomes the place to be — a beautifully landscaped, relaxed setting perfect for brunch, dinner, or evening drinks under the lights. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with rich wood, classic Irish decor, and plenty of places to tuck in and unwind.

Planning a celebration? Irish Times is also the ideal venue for private events, offering flexible space, a dedicated team, and customizable menus to make your next gathering truly special — whether it's a birthday, retirement party, corporate outing, or wedding celebration.

With great food, legendary drinks, and the kind of hospitality that makes everyone feel like a regular, Irish Times Pub and Restaurant is more than just a pub — it’s a place where memories are made. Come see why it's a true standout in the heart of Brookfield.
