"Cavanaugh’s closed just before Christmas, ending a 28-year run at the Monadack Building, 53 W. Jackson Boulevard. The tavern served pub food, cocktails, and beer." - Daniel Gerzina

This place is in the building where I work and is a great spot for an after work drink or some happy hour snacks. The service is a bit up and down, since one of the servers can be kind of rude, but overall it's nice. Good beer and wine selection. The bartenders are very nice, but can be slow if it's busy.

I work in the same building as Cavanaugh's. I ordered lunch hoping it would be fast to order and delicious to eat. I was wrong. I was put on hold for about 5 min when I was trying to place my order. Then when I went to pick it up it was set on the end of the bar that had spilled drinks over it, making the bag it was in soggy. I also had to find someone to let my pay for my food. When I finally was able to eat it, the food was terrible, the bun was huge and the chicken looked so small in proportion, it was mostly bread, the fries were hard and old tasting and the broccoli cheese soup was tasteless and the soup in general was more like broccoli cheese drink. Yuck! I've learned my lesson and i'm not going back again no matter how close they are to my office.

Food is well prepared and consistent over time. Reliable and oh so close to work. Feels old fashioned like some of the Wall Street eateriea a block off Wall and Water in NYC.

Place is currently closed. Per their website: "After almost 30 years in the Monadnock Building, we have lost our lease and officially closed on December 22nd, 2017. Thank you for the great memories and stay tuned for a new location sometime in 2018."

Good place for beers and appetizers during happy hour, a bit loud if you don't love shouting during happy hour.

You haven't had a turkey club until you've had one from here. Price is very reasonable considering the generous proportions.

Good place for drinks and food after work. Very cool historical building (Monadnock).
