8 months agoUnique spot in Evanston! The hostess here is super nice and accomodating. Pretty busy but still a cozy and warm environment. We ordered burgers and had some good draft beers and stayed for a bit to listen to the live music.

Antonia Asimis
10 months agoMy baby and I went to The Celtic Knot and really enjoyed it! He had the chicken salad, and I went for the grilled cheese—both were tasty. The space was well-lit and cozy, and the service was friendly. For Evanston, it’s a really nice spot. We’ll be back!
Stratton Ford
4 months agoGreat food, great atmosphere. Apparently they also do weekly trivia (I left just before it started) but it seems like a lot of fun! Service was great. Reasonably priced as well. Very willing to do a slightly "different" burger accomodations as well, I will be returning when I'm in the area!
Abhishek Bhattacharjee
9 months agoRight proper pub. Rich was our server and was an absolute delight. He recommended the curry fries to go with our drinks. The curry fries were delicious and I ended up wiping the little curry cup clean. Great atmosphere with good eats and great drinks selection (and pricing!). Ideal for a happy hour or a nice, cozy meal.

9 months agoOmg I LOVE the Celtic Knot! Authentic Irish food and the nicest staff! Every time I go, and I’m there often, it’s the best day ever! My favorite is the corned beef, salad with pesto salmon and the huge and authentic Irish breakfast! Best pint of Guiness in Chicagoland. Two thumbs up for a wonderful establishment!
