The health department has logged eight inspections at Mystic Celt, the earliest from 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Aug 11, 2016. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for Mystic Celt dates to Aug 11, 2016.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” comes up most often, recorded five times in the inspection record.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
