  • This will be a review down memory lane. I grew up in this bar, much like Jackie H's review. One of the bartenders was my little league baseball coach, then I played on the bars soft ball team. Even though I have not lived in Chamaign for about 10 years, I can still find people I know, and bartenders that remember me. When I was little I would order kiddy cocktails from the bar, then get change to play on the only pinball machine. Then stomp on all the peanut shells on the floor. I have seen expansion many times. Originally from one bar and a few booths, to a wrap around bar, then finally to the pool hall and extra bar area that you see now. I have met U of I basketball coaches here, there are pictures of former Cubs players kissing my Mom (wait, what). My parents originally met here. It is safe to say my family has a mullti generational history here. Anyway, beyond the nostalgia, it is one of the best pubs to visit in the downtown area. Just a great place to relax and have a few drinks. Along with the evolution of the bar, so has the menu. Now there is a mix of pub grub like burgers, fish sandwiches, etc. Which I don't think are that great. Though the various pizzas are very good. As are the wings, which I am not typically a fan of. Though these are baked, not fried and battered like most. The Asian Dumplings are great as well. The service can be hit or miss. Depending on the time you come, and where you order. Bar service is pretty good, but the waitresses can be a bit confused when trying to find you after you place the order. Though they work hard, and always take care of anything that might be wrong. Drinks are pretty standard. There are a handful of good micros on tap. Usually something from Two Brothers or Dark Horse as the main micros available on tap. A bit more extensive selection in bottles. The rest is typical drinks for a neighborhood bar. Overall, not perfect. Though the goods far out way the bad. An institution in the downtown Champaign area, and a place I will always love.
