O'Donovan's: A Good Place to Get a Burger

I have found "my bar". And thankfully, it is just two blocks away from my house. I started going to neighborhood bar and grills during the summer. I've tried out a few in my North Center neighborhood in Chicago. Some were too filled with children (why there were more kids in a bar than adults; I'll never know) others were too pricey for what I got. Then, I went to O'Donovan's. I've lived in this neighborhood forever and I had never gone in. Finally, I did and I've been making up lost time ever since.
The burgers are good. I couldn't really tell you what the other food on the menu tastes like, well, because, I only order the burgers. I tell myself each time that I'll order something different. There's chicken fingers, loads of salads, and big dinners. But I always go back to the burgers. They're big but not monstrous. The fries are plentiful and crispy. The drinks are cheap. On Mondays the hamburgers are a mere $2 but I think the usual price of $7 is just fine. O'Donovan's has a year round beer garden and during the summer, there's an outdoor cafe. Sports usually fill the TV screens, but I like it that they're not blaring. The music is eclectic and also in the background, so that you can actually have a conversation. Overall, O'Donovan's is my new favorite place to meet with friends, to have a drink, and of course, to eat a delicious burger.
