We had a fantastic time here. I tried several new ciders that I enjoyed, as well as excellent conversation with our bartender Colm. We plan to come here again many times in the future!

The Embassy is a local gem -- a must for any sports fan, especially soccer. The staff is super chill and the foods pretty great. Was there for the Gold Cup final and the vibe was immaculate.

An amazing Irish bar where we watched an amazing rugby game between Irlande and France. It was like we were in the Irish stadium with an amazing crew and consumers. I really recommend this Irish jewel where everybody is treating you as a friend. The owner and his team are the heart of this incredible pub where the crowd is compact and eclectic... For the rugby fan who miss their team and the live game go there but you might want make a reservation before hand ...

Went to visit with a friend. Shared sliders and wings and both were tasty. Got there early so no real crowd (430 pm) but bartender was attentive. Parking always challenging on Taylor Street but would visit again.

If you are looking for the perfect pint of Guinness, this is the place. The wings were amazing and the owner and bartender were very friendly. Thank you Collum and Paul for such a great experience!!

Probably the best pint of Guinness this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Cozy pub good for conversation or to catch a game. Located in a very cool diverse neighborhood. Staff are extremely friendly and superior with their service. Menu has a small variety but very delicious, I highly recommend the Irish Breakfast and the dry-rub Chicken wings but not together at the same time. Cheers, cannot wait to get back.

Best pint of Guinness in the city. Paul is so accommodating, and creates a fun, welcoming environment. Vee is an attentive and friendly server who always welcomes me with a smile. I always love visiting the embassy :)

One of my favourite spots in Little Italy. A great choice of draft beers on tap and you can try them out before buying your favourite one. A friendly and professional barman and a relaxed atmosphere. And a great food menu as well. And drinks and food are affordable.

Fantastic service, lovely patio, comfy surroundings. Proper pours of Guinness and a decent food menu; big fan of their brunch sandwiches during the football. This is where I come for Celtic FC games. The owner and staff are awesome and I always find myself staying a while longer than planned for the craic. I only wish I lived a wee closer!

Came here to explore a new sports bar in our new neighborhood of Little Italy. It is super cute pub, restaurant, and sports bar all in one. They have a back booth restaurant area, a back patio for summer time, and a good size full bar with multiple TVs. The owner introduced himself and was charming and welcoming. The staff were great, friendly, attentive, and efficient. He said because they are a restaurant, family and pets (dogs) are welcome inside and in the patio. The noise level was not bad at all for a sports bar especially NFL playoff week. The full bar had good options and I had well made cocktails. I had to try the food, so I got the grilled chicken sandwich, it came on a pretzel bun. It was good to order, hot, and juicy. The side of fries made it perfect proportion for 1. Definitely a great find in little Italy!

They pour a nice Guinness here. The owner and bartenders are very nice and work hard. I've only had the food once but it was very good and most people come for the food so I think it must be good.

Great place to watch sports, eat bar food and drink cold beer. Paul and his staff were amazing and accommodating. They made me feel comfortable with asking questions about the everything. The volume was loud enough to listen to what was going on without overpowering conversations or the ambiance of the bar vibe.

The Embassy is a gem! Great staff and atmosphere. Great for large groups. I reserved their back room for a birthday party the food and drinks were excellent everyone had a great time. Their patio in the summer is epic. Sports fans won't be disappointed, TVs all over the bar. Paul you rock! Thanks to you and your team for treating me and my 40 guest so well. Cheers!

Walked into this place on a Wednesday night for a quick beer and I think this might be my new go to Irish bar. Great bar. Awesome bartenders. Cold Guinness. Good vibes here. I will definitely be back.

Great bar that just opened on Taylor Street. They host Barcelona FC games and serve Estrella Beer, which is really important. Aside from their Estrella Beer, they still have a decent offering of beer. I didn't eat any food while I was here, so I can't comment on that. Gotta love the fact that they're willing to host Barcelona fans during Barca games. They set aside the entire back room and can accommodate 50+ fans. That's not easy to do and they handled it with no problem. Will definitely be back.

Excellent service & yummy food. My wife and I walked up and down Taylor street searching restaurants on yelp for a winner and stumbled upon this low key place. My wife had the impossible burger (not meat) and I had the bacon hamburger w/ waffle fries. Food was very tasty and cooked just right. There are a ton of drink options available on Tap and a full liquor menu to choose from. My wife isn't a big cider lover but the one she tasted here she loved (Aspall Dry English Cider) would definitely recommend this place to eat, drink, and be happy!! I also have plans to revisit again with some friends in the near future!!

Waay overpriced drinks. 4 vodka's $62 dollars and not a full pour. Even the bartender apologized. Another Bullshit place.

I am a HUGE fan of the Embassy - had a wonderful server named Cassie who was extremely kind. Great service - DEFINITELY on my "return to" list. Paul's generosity is UNMATCHED!!

My partner and I just stumbled upon this bar on a Sunday afternoon and it's delightful. The bartender and owner were incredibly nice and welcoming. Great selection of ciders and beers, cute patio and love that the windows open up so we could sit inside but have a nice breeze. All new customers get a shot of Jamison which was fun. They play all the possible sports games you could ever want to see so we'll definitely be back for football season.

A great traditional Irish Pub. Fantastic service, a big selection of beer, ciders, seltzers, and wine as well as a full bar. A great place to catch the game with TVs everywhere. The owner and bartenders were all very friendly. The front windows open which is awesome on nice days. They also have a back patio with TVs. Would definitely recommend this spot to grab a drink.

Had such a good time sitting at the bar, listening to locals colorful banter and enjoyed being served by John who is simply a treasure. Had the fish and chips with fantastic tartare sauce, green peas - you gotta try it - amazing! And the malted vinegar as a condiment made me all warm and fuzzy. Also the freshest pint of Guinness this side of the pond. Delightful find!

Great Irish vibe and Guinness on tap. Really enjoyed the intimate setting. Didn't realize how cool it was inside from the exterior.

Probably the best Irish Pub in Little Italy! Definitely the MOST Irish pub in Little Italy. Great Guinnesses and amazing Irish themed breakfasts! Great staff, and even nicer customers! This is a great place to watch Premier League, Rugby Union or even the NFL. Bob R.

This place is great. Whether you are looking for a pint or to get your belly full - they will get you take care of. Waitress/Waiters will have a conversation if you'd like. I even saw the owner wiping down tables and cracked some jokes with our party. I will be coming back. God bless you, Embassy!

If you recall ambassador on halsted this seems to be the same crew. Always friendly servers / bartenders, good draft on tap, know how to pour a Guinness. Great bar to watch a game or grab a bit over a few beers
