In some cities and states, St. Patty's Day is done much bigger and better than others, and that includes Illinois.

While Rockford is no slouch when it comes to St. Patrick's Day revelry, Chicago is one of the best anywhere for folks who want to get their Irish party on.

Chicago was also mentioned a whole bunch by Toast in their Best Irish Restaurant to celebrate St. Patrick's Day article.

Inside, the story throws out plenty of great places to eat and drink, and it seems that The Windy City is well represented.

The Best Restaurants for St. Patrick's Day in Illinois

Among the 20 restaurants shared by Toast, four of them are in Chicago, and they are:

• The Dawson at 730 West Grand Avenue
• The Gage at 24 South Michigan Avenue
• The Kerryman at 661 North Clark Street
• Chief O'Neills Pub & Restaurant at 3471 North Elston Avenue

I've spent time at Chief O'Neills, which is a legit Irish bar and pub that knows what they're doing on St. Patrick's Day.

Toast doesn't do the place much justice by mentioning Chief O'Neill was named after the former General Superintendent of Police in Chicago.

Why Chief O'Neill's Is A Standout Irish Restaurant

Reviewers say Chief O'Neill's can't get "more Irish than this," and the "ambiance & food was really good."
