Sunday mornings draw a big post-church crowd, replete with little kids in ties and sweaters. The barroom isn't too loud, and the hardest thing poured at Gilhooley's some nights is honey mustard sauce (though don't be fooled: you'll have no problem finding your cocktail of choice). The whole place is what you'd expect from a bar owned by a Catholic university (the original owner donated Gilhooley's to neighboring St. Xavier last year).

The back end hosts the "Heritage Room," a fancy moniker for the No Smoking section, and the decor boasts a gallery-like assortment of nineteenth-century French arts prints, a bunch of mirrors and some ominous tchotchkes (like the six-foot metal Statue of Liberty replica).

Though there are no nightly drink specials, you'll enjoy eight hours of karaoke on Thursdays. Sunday mornings the saloon offers brunch at a modest $8.95 for adults, serving up fresh fruit, made-to-order omelets, smoked citrus glazed ham, corned beef hash, Belgian waffles and more. The $1.95 mimosa oundtrack on weekends. Head in for a dinner of corned beef and cabbage, honey bourbon glazed salmon or chicken fettuccine alfredo. The midnight-cravings menu, served from 8 p.m.-midnight, dishes up hour-appropriate eats like the "gut buster" burrito and wings o'fire. There are innumerable TVs, as well as an interactive trivia system that requires talent to best when paired with drinking.
