Mr. O'Leary was not, as his name implies, Irish. He was Chinese, and operated one of the most popular private clubs in Chicago's history. Today, Shucker's continues the building's hospitable tradition of good food and good times. Open 7 days a week, Shucker's rustic decor creates a cozy, friendly ambiance. At the door, owners Jeff and Jim Cannon greet guests and assure their needs are met.
Dinner is served on both floors of the restaurant.
The lower level is popular for its piano bar, live music during Lunch and Dinner. Special holiday drinks, and Christmas carols tinkling on the piano, make Shucker's a terrific stop during holiday shopping, The seafood bar is always open, and features jumbo shrimp, oysters, clams, and crab legs. Fish and seafood are flown in daily from around the world. Selections include Swordfish, grouper, salmon, and scallops, each distinctively cooked to order in a fashion most suited to accent its freshness. In addition, the chef makes one of the creamiest New England Clam Chowder's available anywhere.
