Esquire pretty much kicks ass. I first discovered it while I was working for the city across the street and would come over for lunch quite a bit to get a steak sandwich while I was in the process of packing on the pounds. I've since lost weight and now I eat the black bean veggie burger (absolutely delicious). Esquire has grown and changed (a bit) over the years to accomodate the changes in downtown Champaign, but it still retains much of its original character. I think it and the Brass Rail are the only two places left where you can really hang with the hardcore downtown alcoholics. I mean HARDCORE! Esquire is awesome!
