History
Established in 1987.
The Hidden Shamrock opened its doors in 1987. The idea, however, was born a year earlier when three guys fresh out of college opened up a hole-in-the-wall on Clark Street called Mamie Riley’s. Mamie’s only lasted a year. But what a year. The lamp was lit. The game was on. And, the following spring, the show moved two blocks west, to 2723 North Halsted. What was the bar business like back then? The Hidden Shamrock was the second tavern on the North Side to have Guinness on tap. The first to use imperial pint glasses. The first to show live soccer matches from Europe. The first to feature live Irish music and a full Irish breakfast. You get the idea. The best thing about the Hidden Shamrock, however, has been the people. Over the years, we’ve had staff and customers from all over the world call The Shamrock home. Husbands have
met their wives, wives have met their husbands. Come on in. Grab a seat next to the fireplace. Order a pint. And let the craic begin!
