We had our wedding reception here. Awesome venue, great people.

This is a huge facility with plenty of time and parking. Its certainly great for banquets and other festivities. Its nicely decorated and offers even space for your own band to entertain your guests.

Enjoy this place. Wish we had something like Gaelic Park, though.

Went for the Fresh Market. Lots of parking and ready to find.

Beautiful venue, thank you for supporting THOTCON!!!

Hope the farmers market stays here. was late but even the leftovers where great

Great staff, nice space, converted school to community center space.

Been here once and was thankful for their huge parking lots! After getting a boot on my car for having parked in an unauthorized area, it was a relief for the Irish American Heritage Center to have their own parking lot! The restrooms were clean, the community who attended the event was respectful, and is large enough to hold several events at once.

Went here after Farmers Market on Sunday. Irish music. Good prices.

Great place for events. So complex!

Always a treat. Lots of activities. Went to see the art show. Great genealogy program.

Went here for a dance event. The fourth floor ballroom was very spacious and the live jazz band sounded pretty good so the acoustics seem acceptable. The bar was cash only but prices werent bad. The elevator was very spacious. The 3rd floor tended to get humid and stuffy though, granted with a lot of people packed into it.

Went here for my C.P.R AND FIRST AID CLASSES HERE.

Went here for he Johnny Cash Festival fundraiser. Great venue for a small concert. Lots of room and the theater has decent acoustics.

Fantastic place with lovely people working there. Im English but my familys Irish so it has plenty of home comforts there in the shop like black and white pudding, bacon, sausages and brown sauce, club orange, lucozade etc. The lady there also bakes her own soda bread and scones.The pubs closed at the moment as far as I can tell but the lady told me theyre still doing outdoor films in the car park.

I’m giving it two stars for the great venue and very friendly bar staff.The problem I have with the place—My wife and I had our wedding here almost a year ago. We booked 18 months in advance. Since the day of booking our wedding at this great venue, we had numerous meetings with staff members who relayed different information to us on when we could get in to set up. What was almost the final straw was when we were informed we could only get in four hours before the ceremony. Thankfully a meeting that included the executive director helped us get in the morning of. On the day of the wedding my wife was made to pay $175 to turn the key of the ceremony room (we did get reimbursed this following an email exchange after the wedding). With 1 hour left on our reception room booking, bus boys began pouring drinks into plastic glasses without asking or informing guests- not sure if this is regular practice but seemed odd.As someone who has moved from Ireland to Chicago, it’s a venue I was excited to show off to guests from both home and here, but this situation completely soured our experience, and unfortunately we have not been back since having regularly attended functions and festivals prior to the wedding.All the negatives being said, the bar is fantastic and the venue on the whole is great, I just wished for a better more efficient front office experience .

Irish or not you’ve got to come and check it out

Great Place To Go Paul Helped Me To Find Another Place To Live.

I love the Irish American Heritage Center. Great place to go to.

The Annual Christmas Bazaar, over 60 vendors Irish music, dancing. WGN was there too.

Store closed. Only open one day a week.Office is now open but they have yet to update their recording.

Amazing Irish dancing! A great place to celebrate St Patrick’s Day!

We stopped here for Open House Chicago and I loved it! There were authors there speaking about their books. The lady in the museum was so informative and helpful. I learned about handwoven race and Mother Jones. We bought a piece of chocolate cake infused with Guinness and Whiskey. All the volunteers were warm and friendly and impassioned. We also enjoyed the young adults playing the violin. We wanted to order a corned beef but they werent ready yet. The bartender was the only person who seemed like she was having a bad day...I hope her day got better 😁Thank you,Captain Save A Home

The Dance that they hold are the best. Very much family orientated, Irish dancing is just wonderful. Everything they do from renting out rooms to parties it’s friendly faces. Helpful staff’s just a good time always.

The festivals are brilliant. From the St. Patrick’s Day party to the Irish fest in the summer is one of Chicagos best summer activities. They also have one of the most extensive Irish libraries and a genealogy department. There’s a cute gift store with wonderful Irish stuff and imported food and drink. The Fifth Province Pub has a cozy fireplace where you can sit and enjoy a pint while listening to a live band and they have a large bar. It’s a grand time.

While on vacation in Chicago I took my wife and daughter there for the lent fish fry. It was great! Good prices, beer, and food. They also had entertainment for the kids. Definitely a place to take the family for lent, its and easy walk from the blue line. Nice neighborhood.

The most amazing thing about the Heritage Center is that volunteer professionals from all over the Irish community transformed this former school building into a beautiful place. You can feel the love and dedication. Fantastic traditional music and dance, including set dance lessons on Tuesday nights at 7:30 and weekly Friday dances. Its a wonderful place to experience real Irish culture.

Saw the High Kings here. Great show! This place hosted them well, the seating was nice, great beverages for sale, and helpful folks. Didn’t get a great look at the whole facility but from my small experience it was great:)

Had a really fun time at their Painting and a Pint class. You paid $50 and received all the art materials and a beer. They were also doing dance lessons and various other activities. It is an old Chicago Public School, so the place is huge with ample parking. Staff there were really friendly and the bar area was up to date and well kept. Definitely will be returning for other events.

Great venue. The upstairs ballroom is absolutely beautiful! It is easily accessible via public transit too, which is great for event attendees.

What a gem! Beautiful establishment with really lovely party rooms and halls. Ive attended two parties here--one I a huge hall and another in a large room. The management was easy to work with and were able to meet our groups needs. They provided soda and ice. We had food catered by an external vendor. The hall is really lovely with great lighting. Lots of free parking in their lot.

We go for the Womens History teas. The food is ok. But the actress they have portraying the women whether it is Queen Elizabeth or Jane Addams threy are talented and knowledgeable.It is a delightful afternoon.

Love the cash for kids festival every year. Looking forward to this years events. This building has an unprecedented charm and I surely hope it stands for generations to come. The library and upper levels are like walking through time.

Its a great place to go mingle at the bar, host events, or attend events. Really pleasant experience every time Ive been there...and thats on multiple occasions.

The Fifth Province room is a hidden gem. A fun safe bar area with great musical entertainment. The center is a great family friendly environment and they have several festivals and concerts throughout the year.

This is such a cute museum! Theres even a really great pub that sometimes has live music.

Had a wedding here and it was fantastic. Very clean, quiet and classy in its own way. The history on the walls was fantastic to look at and the several bars made the wedding a breeze to move people from one area to the next.

My husband and I went to the St Patricks Day Festival that the museum was hosting and it was a complete disaster from start to finish. We paid $30 for the admission and there seemed to be no organization to the event. We tried buying tickets for food but were told we couldnt buy tickets there. We were told this at two different ticket tables. Finally we asked someone at the Volunteer Table and they said that the tables we had gone to previously were the ticket booths for drinks AND food and that the tickets were for both. We were so upset because we spent close to an hour weaving ourselves around the building to find food. Even if I was mistaken by saying food tickets, the volunteers at the tables should have told us that the tickets they were selling were for drinks and food. The whole event was a disaster and we felt like we were denied service. It was an awful experience and definitely will not be back. I did file a complaint with the director of the event, however I felt the need to inform others because we felt this issue was not appropriately addressed.

Great Irish culture display. The building is beautiful and the insides are painted in Irish art. Loads of plays and culturally sound activities taking place inside this center at any given time. Good beer available most times in the bar inside.

A wonderful experience to all of Irish Heritage.A complete immersion into Ireland and itsimportant roll to all of Irish Heritage.I am authentic Irish Pub with all of the foodsyou would expect.Many music venues and live Irish Bands arefrequent visitors.L

Attended my cousins weeding here, to my knowledge the only thing that was offered was the space which is the only reason it got 2 stars. Their was no severs or catering available, all had to be catered in as well as the silver wear and plates. Nothing was really offered and I thought it was an extreme inconvenience. I have no idea why the bride picked this venue to be honest. Was nothing really special.

We are not Irish but love to come here regularly for events. During Lent they have a Friday fish fry. On Fridays and weekends there is a pub in there where you can have a drink and often listen to live music or see Irish dancers. They also have a library and often hold art exhibit in there gallery. If you havent yet, check the place out. Look on there website, they have a calendar of the events going on and you can decide which ones sound good to you.

I love attending their festivals. Always and amazing experience. Have many memories playing games, eating food, listening to music, and enjoying the Irish spirit.

Attended a wedding there and loved the facility. Mostly stayed in the main hall which was very spacious. I enjoyed how the​ bar was connected made it easy to move around.

Very large hallrooms with clear view. No obstruction from pillars. Ideal place to rent for a mid size event. Plenty of parking. We had catered food. Friendly people.

Wonderful historic building. IAHC helps preserve the vibrant Irish community on the north side of Chicago. The pub is open weekends to the public, and everyone is very warm and welcoming. The semiannual events for St Pats (spring) and Heritage Fest (summer) are recommended for those so inclined.

Go on in and have a pint

Music,food, jewelry and clothing vendors,what more could you want ? And it all fits on what used to be a school building but is now the Irish center.Fun for the whole family !

Nice place for events. They have a full bar, a gift shop, some nights they have live music, a library on Irish history and culture and arts. Worth a visit.

We used to fo a lot of Pagan festivals there. The Irish American fest they hold every year is pretty cool!

Great facility with lots of interesting programming- music, plays, traditional dancing, classes- all in a converted former elementary school that now houses (amongst many rooms and halls for the previously noted events) a nicely appointed pub. What more could you want?

Great place to have a baby shower. Also very nice portable cash bar if needed. Everyone there was very nice and very helpful

Ive only been there for the Irish Fest they have in the summer but I know they offer so much more. However, I had a great time each time I was there.

Authentic music. Great cultural gathering place. Friendly people.

Went to the fish fry, little pricey but great atmosphere and amazing museum

Great place for a party or just to have a shot of Whiskey....Great staff! Clean place. Live music.

Went there in the st Patrick weekend celebration. Really nice atmosphere. they have a very interesting museum and library

I ADORE this place. Its as though youve been transported to a magical land. Everyone is in a good mood. Everyone knows the words to songs or repeats the chorus at the lead singers coaching. Totally upbeat. There wasnt a bad song throughout the day. A few were sad but even then the melodies were mystical. EVERYONE IS POLITE AND HELPFUL. The men were all courteous( bless their moms hearts). The children were well behaved and not in the least bit cranky. The Irish dancers were phenomenal as always (bless their parents for paying for their dance lessons). They were better than Riverdance. Great for families, great for singles, great for couples, great for any age. The vendors were knowledgeable as were the ladies in the gift shop. It had an incredibly homey and warm feel to it. Wouldnt miss any event at this location. The topper is they know how to pour Guinness and all the food was good!!!!! Theres street parking and no meters!!!!!or permit signs. IAHC is a bit difficult to see from the road but maybe that makes it all the more worthwhile!!!!!!!

Best place to spend St Patricks day. A museum with beer. Learn something and have a few beers!

5 Bars! Its a wonderful place with limited parking. A lot of events. Great place to learn about the Irish + Ireland

Love getting my Irish grub here. ..always what I like. 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏

Cool building and great spaces for events. Liked the bar downstairs as it looked cool to hangout in and it was ginormous!

Really fun place to hang out. The bar tenders are super kind and funny and everyone there is super positive and welcoming.

Huge venue..out of town guest in from seattle for st patricks day..very impressive facilty!

Simply the Best. A neighborhood gem

Great place to grab a couple drinks. Museum was nicely done too

I felt like this was a little slice of Ireland. Loved seeing The high Kings and enjoyed the food and drink.

Had my wedding here, love the music. Lorell is a wonderful bartender, everyone was so nice to us

I love this place. Great food and the bands were fantastic!

Beautiful historic building....great event space with super dance floor.

I love this place and plans to visit again soon!!! The staff was Awesome and Amazing!!! They made me feel very welcome!!!

The Irish people is very nice

Went to Irish Fest today with my family; my husband, 12 year old son and 11 year old daughter. $80 admission fee..... Really?? I am thoroughly disgusted. Obviously not a family event. Silly me for thinking otherwise.

3rd province reasonable drink prices!

Beautiful space. Had fun at the fish fry

I go there for the lyft office, looks like a nice place tho.

Open until 8 pm every night Mon thru Sat. Terrific gifts at various prices .

Beautiful and historic place to see quality Irish entertainment throughout the year. Neighborhood is a little sketchy and parking is mostly street parking, but once inside, the entertainment is worth it.

Fun, always something happening.

Best food and drink deals in the city at the Fifth Province Pub.

After going to Ireland twice now, I go there just to be around the culture of the Irish People. They are wonderful.

Exciting place to visit and enjoy a cold beverage

Closed to public but secretary gave us a brief tour anyway 😀 so nice and informative

Nice center nice bar

Great facility to visit on St. Patricks Day!

Ellen Folan and Becky Tatz are superstars in the hospitality/event planning department. We held a memorial ceremony for my mother here, and they couldnt have been more helpful and available.

Always have an amazing time at the events

Was there for a private event the best corned beef and cabbage ever

Seamus plays great irish music,good food

Atteneded isha satsang over here

Lyft office here. Plus a very nice lady showed me the restroom and taught me how to say men in Gaelic.

This place is fun for the whole family and so many different type of events!

This is where Entrepreneurs end up very positive place and welcoming!

Wonderful old building...great fundraisers...

A nice Irish cultural center in an old school building.

The center was Ok. But the performance of the headliner band was blocked by all the people standing in front of the stage.

Always love going here, especially for the Irish Fest, theres a lot of history and artifacts. You can even trace your family lineage!

I like it

Lots of venues, extensive gift shop

Great place with a lot of History.
