This book is by no means intended to be a listing of every Irish pub in the city or even every significant Irish pub. Rather it should be seen as a sampling of the kinds of stories every Irish pub has to tell. As such, we are indebted to many of the owners of Chicagos fine establishments who shared their families histories with us.
We also would like to thank city historian Tim Samuelson, Richard Lindberg, Dave Hoekstra, Tom Boyle, Brian Donovan, the staff of the Irish American Heritage Center, Cliff Carlson of the Irish American News , the Southeast Chicago Historical Society, Ed Kane of Louis Glunz Beer Inc., and all others who provided sources and background on significant Irish pubs. Arcadia Publishing, especially Melissa Basilone and John Pearson, helped bring this story to life.

Just around the curve of a river, past rumbling trains and between rising bridges, sits the birthplace of the city of Chicago, a piece of land once known as Wolf Point. It was a meeting place for traders, troops, and travelers, a place to rest and have a drink, to exchange news heard along the road.
A tavern named for an Irishman was founded there in 1831, and a tavern named for an Irishman stands there today.
The son of an Irishman and a Potawatomie woman, Billy Caldwell was known as Sauganash, from a Native American word for Englishman. Elected a justice of the peace in Chicago, Caldwell lent his nickname to the tavern Mark Beaubien built on the north branch of the Chicago River, according to A. T. Andreass History of Chicago from the Earliest Period to the Present Time .
The Sauganash is long gone, as is Wolf Point, swept away by fire and progress and the passage of time. In 1912 the Great Lakes Building was built on the site as a mill, and in 1982, Mark Ryza and his partner John Sweeney opened Coogans Riverside Saloon there.
In addition to its location, Coogans takes its name from Irish Chicago history; John Sweeneys grandfather, Michael J. Coogan, owned a bar in the city called Coogans before Prohibition.
The owners took pains to make their establishment the kind of place where its namesake would feel right at home, restoring the historic buildings tin ceiling and lining its walls with photos of the citys birth and growth.
It was a monster of project, Ryza said, shaking his head at the memory. But we wanted it to have a turn-of-the-century feel because thats what the location called for.
This once-isolated spot, now surrounded by blocks of glass and steel, exemplifies the way Irish taverns, saloons, and bars are knit into the history of the city. Their stories are not merely the stories of drinking and carousing, but of friends meeting, politicians plotting, families building their legacies, and immigrants finding their way in the new world.
Billy Caldwells plot of land, shown on this 1830 plat of the city, can be seen on site no. 22. (Chicago History Museum ICHi-34284.)
The Sauganash Hotel, as it looked in 1830, is visible here. The hotel was the site of the citys incorporation three years later. ( History of Chicago from the Earliest Period to the Present Time, A. T. Andreas, 1884.)
The Sauganash site in the 1940s gave no indication of its history or significance. (Authors collection.)
Coogans Riverside Saloon is now a gathering place for bankers and brokers on their way home from work. Mark Ryza, asked why he opened a downtown bar instead of one in a city neighborhood, responded only slightly jokingly that theres a limit to how crazy somebodys gonna get with his boss and his co-workers around. (Authors collection.)
Germans predated the Irish in immigrating to Chicago, and their taverns were well-established by the time Irish laborers arrived. The Irish were drawn by the jobs in shipyards and steel mills. (Southeast Chicago Historical Society.)
Though they first drank in German-owned establishments like the Kinney Marble Rail Bar, the Irish quickly built their own saloons, craving a place where they could re-create the social life they had left in their home counties. (Southeast Chicago Historical Society.)
This deed gave Patrick OSullivan three plots of land in 1895, which he purchased from the Pitzale family. OSullivan later opened a tavern in the neighborhood. (Southeast Chicago Historical Society.)
Taverns and saloons sprang up around workplaces, like those near the steel mills in the South Chicago community. Neil Duffys bar can be seen on the right. (Southeast Chicago Historical Society.)
Before Prohibition, liquor dealers, distributors, and brewers often sold their products directly from storefront saloons like G. A. Regans. (Chicago History Museum ICHi-32220.)
Early taverns were not places to linger over a pint with friends. Men were served standing at the bar, and women were able to enter only through a back door (if at all). (Chicago History Museum ICHi-21456.)
