Great venue, Great band, lots of guinness. What more can you ask for. Fitzgeralds is one of the best places for music in Chicagoland. Can't wait.

Have you been to Emmit's?
I was interviewing at the optometry school, and stayed at a hostel with a bunch of international kids, including a couple of English kids. Well, the owner of Emmit's was drinking and got belligerent, and started to pick a fight with one of the English kids!
Luckily, the bouncer, an Irish guy too, broke it up and the rest of the night, we had free drinks!
Plus, that place was in the movie Ocean's Eleven!

Used to hang out there (Emmits) when it was OSullivan's. Place has great character. And, at that time, great characters. Detectives, firemen, politicians, the usual Chicago suspects. Don't know 'bout now. And with all those windows, it's a great daytime bar.
