Despite the fact that I came in second place, two years in a row, in the annual mustache-growing competition, I will give Mike N Molly's 5 stars.
Mike N Molly's has an excellent beer selection, an excellent whiskey selection. It is perfect for coming in really any (or every ?) day of the week with friends, with a book, with an able finger to play the Megatouchforce. Their beer garden is excellent. Once many years ago I saw Andrew Bird play in the beer garden and it was magical. Sometimes a dance party happens.
If you live in Champaign you should make this place your regular bar, probably. It gave me so many really crucial memories and I guarantee it will do so for you as well. I will always stop in here if I am in town. I came of age here in many ways. I blame all the drinking I did here as a 25-year old for keeping me so youthful now that I'm 30.
