Lots of memories at this dive, and a place for townies mostly. This place has been through several owners (one being my cousins). A long bar, some tables up front, and bar games like pool and shuffleboard towards the back. A beer garden that has hosted plenty of bands. Anybody from the Boat Drunks to Tons of Fun Band.
Plenty of TV's that put a premium on Illini sports. I will always remember watching the Illinois/Arizona NCAA game during the 04-05 season here. Service suffers depending on how many people are here, and what is going on. Food has always been generic pub grub, but just slightly better food than a dive bar should have.
Always a fun time. A place that should at least be given a try, and if it is not for you, there are always plenty of other spots around town.
