"If it weren't for the massive gold lettering out front, this spot might get overlooked by the casual passerby. Thankfully, that's at least enough to draw in first-timers. After that, Duke of Perth becomes one of those cozy go-tos. Considered thee Scottish pub in Chicago, DOP offers a generous variety of whiskeys, several beers you'd be hard pressed to find on tap elsewhere, and a somewhat secret patio. Then, there are Fridays. For $12, you can help yourself to all you can eat fish & chips. This is why many know the place. Also, there are few cozier bars to hole up in during a Windy City winter." - Studio Malt
"The Deal: $18.95 AYCE Fish And Chips Wed & Fri This 35-year-old Scottish pub moved to a bigger Lakeview spot in 2024. Sure, it's only a five-minute walk from the old location, but we're glad their fish and chips made the journey. And every Wednesday and Friday, the beer-battered fish and fried potatoes are AYCE for just $18.95." - john ringor
"This Scottish pub has been around since 1989 and moved to a larger Lakeview space—five minutes away—in 2024. They have bar food like burgers and chicken fingers, plus AYCE fish and chips every Wednesday and Friday for $18.95. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - John Ringor
"One of Chicago’s most popular fish fries is at Duke of Perth, especially on Wednesdays and Fridays when the beer-battered cod is all-you-can-eat (dine-in only). Call for takeout orders." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"The Duke of Perth, known for its premier fish and chips and Scottish cuisine, is relocating after 35 years from its original home at 2913 N. Clark Street to 2827 N. Broadway, the former Renaldi’s Pizza. The move is driven by financial challenges and lease issues at the original location. The new space will maintain the pub's classic offerings and ambiance, focusing on good whisky, beer, and conversations without TVs. The Duke's history includes a pivotal moment when positive press saved the business, and its ownership also manages another Lakeview icon, Le Creperie." - Ashok Selvam
