    Gaynors is a very traditional Irish Pub. Very nice ambiance, friendly neighborhood crowd. Most of the food is pretty good, you'll have to find what you like by trial and error.

    I can only say that I wish I read Pierre D.'s review before arriving. I work in the area, and the friends I usually go out to lunch with decided to give it a try, as we've driven past it several times before. I'll put the problems with this place in a list form for easier reading: 1. ZERO cars in the parking lot, similar to Pierre's experience. It took 45 minutes (in the height of the lunch rush) before another customer appeared. Red Flag #1. 2. As soon as we opened the door, another guy and I both thought it smelled like stale beer and ammonia... basically, my fraternity's basement after an epic weekend. Great for my fraternity, not for a restaurant. It's one of those places where the management seems to be cutting all the corners, and it definitely shows. Red Flag #2 3. The drinks came in glasses so small and ice-filled you only got 3 gulps before it was gone, and I STILL rejected my iced tea since it tasted so funky. 4. The bread was several days old and moldy. Red Flag #3 5. I had only 2 bites of my turkey Reuben before giving up, and my friend could only stomach 3 of his fish and chips (he later described it as "fish jerky"). Silver lining: the fries and chips were actually OK! The best part of the experience was when the bartender (who disappeared for 5 minutes at a time several times, even though we were the only customers in the place) did not put up a fight when I asked her to remove our charges from the bill. Not sure if I'd recommend this place for anything edible unless it comes out of a sealed plastic wrapper. I half expected to see Gordon Ramsay burst through the front door with a "Kitchen Nightmares" film crew in tow at any moment. We had to stop at another diner for food on the way home, so don't make the same mistake we did!

    I've been to Gaynor's a few times as part of an annual train pub crawl with friends. It's always funny to me because some families may be seated in the back having dinner when our huge group of rowdy drunkards rolls in. I see Gaynor's as more of a sports dive bar where pitchers of swill are usually in order. I'm talking a pitcher of swill for $7 on Saturday nights - now that's a special. They have specials each and every day and the prices are right. I've picked off my friends' appetizers before and have always been pleased with everything I had. If a place serves you 5 apps on a garbage can lid for $20, you can safely assume it's a dive. Their options of apps are pretty delicious though - deep fried bacon, fried pickles, wings, friend mushrooms, onion rings, slides, mac & cheese bites, cheese sticks, chicken strips, deep fried tacos. As you can see, everything is deep fried on the app menu aside from the sliders which rest assured have their own unhealthy virtues.. I love the midwest. I always have fun at Gaynor's and am really happy with their beer prices. They sometimes have a band playing to boot!

    Started a bus trip / pub crawl from here. Good little neighborhood pub. Didn't eat there, but they had a decent selection of craft beer for a small place.

    Hard to believe they are still open. They must do a great bar business because the food Is horrible. They just don't try to be good. Its a shame too since its a pretty decent location.

    Where do I start with this DIVE (and not the good kind)? The food is horrendous: I ordered the pulled pork. It tasted like frozen store bought pulled pork, the coleslaw was definitely store bought and the fries were cold. The worst thing about this place were the soft drinks! To begin with the drink itself is $2.00 WITH NO FREE REFILLS!!!! Each additional pop is $2.00 for an 8oz drink! I would rate this zero stars if I could!! I would not recommend this place to anyone!! Stay away!

    Came here for a work lunch and all I can say is we should have RAN when we saw 0 cars in the parking lot. Our second cue should have been when we noticed a senior citizen coming in and getting coaxed into ordering an "all you can eat fish fry" aka 1 fish stick for this man... Burger not cooked correctly, extra $ for Mayo ($1!!) yea man ridiculous... I guess being close to Medina CC = buku bucks but comon! You catch more flys with honey than vinegar.... If anything I want my TIME back!!!

    We've been to Gaynor's three times. They serve a decent pint, glasses are clean and Guiness is competently poured. The food is, unfortunately, just fair. Sandwiches are OK but I ordered a fish entree once (NOT the fish fry) and paid the price that evening and the next day. I don't know if it was the product or the preparation but I would just stick to sandwiches. In terms of atmosphere it is more of a sports bar than Irish pub.

    This place is Terrible, the owner is a loud mouth drunk who picks fights with his patrons. He tries to play it off as a sports bar pub but it is not, the place is alway dead except for a couple of seventy year old plus regulars who probably don't want to travel the mile or two further down the road to a number of much better bars.

    The server said the kitchen was closed and food was no longer being served and not long after a plate of nachos was brought out to a group of other people. I'm very disappointed and I will not ever eat or drink here again. Not only that but the server also didn't bring my beverage until I had to remind her after shed been serving everyone else.

    Burger was over cooked. Bun was stale. Egg was over cooked and wasn't runny like it's supposed to be. Service is bad. Waitress basically didn't feel like splitting our check so she lied about not being able to do it. To top it off, every middle aged drunk was here singing to old rock songs off key and banging on the bar. Overheard at least two inflammatory racist jokes as well as a group of old dudes talking about taking viagra to get it up. Not impressed and you won't be either. Gave it two stars bc they have cheap booz.

    The second star is only because of the famous Rick Lindy plays there on occasion. The first star is for the pretty girl behind the bar. The food is below par. They use to have the best burger in town but last time we ate there it was slop. Over priced too. Blah

    Gaynors is always a good place to go for people who want to have a few drinks and have some fun. I love karaoke night! They have good food and good service. You get to know the employees even if you've only been there a few times, they remember you. I don't go out a lot, but when I do Gaynors is always one of the options to pick from. It's a great neighborhood bar, and if you're from Medinah you'll definitely run into someone you know.

    Came here with a big group of friends for the Hawks game on Friday night. It was busy, but they had plenty of room for our group of 10! The drinks were well served and quick! Our waitress was nice, sweet, and knew what she was doing. Despite the large crowd, she was really prompt bringing everything! While the drinks were good, the food was nothing great. We got the sample platter where you pick four choices, and they were just ok. The nachos, however, were practically inedible. The cheese on it wasn't even melted once you pulled the top layer of nachos off. It was just shredded cheese underneath there. Unimpressive and quite disappointing. So go for the atmosphere, the service and the drinks :)

    Cool location right near the Metra station, so it's very convenient for bar crawls along the train line.. pretty good drink specials throughout the week as well. Live music on Saturdays and special occasions. I haven't had a huge variety of the food available but the paninis and hamburgers are delicious!

    I came here with my family. We ordered the garbage can lids for appetizers. I loved the fried pickles and the fried macaroni and cheese. We had pizza and it was really good also. Good service and good food!

    Bar and food. Avoid the salads. Pizza is okay. Nice folks. Fish fry is always a good deal.
