Cork & Kerry

Cork & Kerry sits at 10614 S. Western Ave. in Beverly, one of several pubs on the west side of Western Avenue along the South Side Irish Parade route between 103rd and 115th streets. Bill Guide and his business partner Mike Fitzpatrick acquired the bar more than 20 years ago, and Guide has said he wanted the pub to stay neighborhood-centered. The bar opens early on parade day and was featured in photojournalist Kelly White’s 2026 exhibit on South Side Irish pubs at the Beverly Arts Center.
