The Irish Mill Inn is a roadside haunt that makes you
wonder what's happening inside. And not necessarily in
a good way.
But the erstwhile establishment, which is celebrating

stretch of unincorporated area across the street from Diamond
Lake near Mundelein.

Located on busy Route 60/83, the Irish Mill can be an
impulse stop, though over the years it has remained essentially
a neighborhood tap.

inside, particularly on St. Patrick's Day, when hundreds
pass through and snarl traffic more than usual.
