Thank you to everyone that joined us for lunch after the amazing and always epic Casket Races.
Special mention for an O’Sullivan’s first: providing service to a lizard. His name is Johnny Cash. He ordered a side of mixed greens, and he recommends you try one of our salads. Listen to Johnny!
And yes, he is dressed as a hotdog.

Come join and celebrate with us!
We like to think that any year after 20 years of business is worth cherishing, and that 21 years has a little extra significance to it being in the bar business.
Looking forward to celebrating with all of the smiling faces whether familiar or new!

History of O’Sullivan’s
An 1890s’ road house, the building at 7244 W. Madison Street has been home to O’Sullivan’s Public House since 2003. Prior to being remodeled, the building housed the Park Lounge and the Lee Choi restaurant. Many Forest Park residents fondly remember the dance floor and organ that were located near the front of the old Park Lounge. Prior to the Park Lounge, the bar was known as The Two Bills Pub.
During the remodeling the copper ceiling, which had been painted over, was discovered under a drop ceiling. Each section of the ceiling had to be removed, the paint stripped, and the copper cleaned, prior to being reinstalled. In addition, the copper walls were restored to their original condition. The floor is also the original terrazzo tile dating back to the 1890s. The stained glass skylight covers a former dumbwaiter that allowed food that had been prepared in the upstairs kitchen to be sent down to the bar to be served. The foot-rest of the bar is a former fireman’s pole from a Chicago fire station. The wooden tables and chairs were purchased from The Berghoff restaurant when it closed its downtown location. In 2010, a retractable roof was added to the beer garden, allowing the space to be used year-round. The beer garden roof was recently renovated in 2018.
In 1990, Dan, Paul and Matt Sullivan opened the original O’Sullivan’s Public House on Circle Avenue in Forest Park. They sold the business in 1998. Matt Sullivan, Jim and Dan Watts opened the current location in 2003.
