Bentley's Pub - Champaign

The staff at this restaurant is incredibly hardworking! Each and every one of them goes the extra mile. I really enjoy visiting this bar because I know I will receive great service. Keep up the great work, Bentley's!

Literally nothing bad you can possibly say about this gem, and anyone who does was probably the problem, not Bentley?s. Cocktails are the best in the biz, tap list is always fresh and delish, the beer garden hits and the staff is Cheers-esque withtheir personalities.

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars, I would. Gavin kicked me in the leg while I had a walking cast on, and there is video evidence of the incident. I will shut down this business if I do not hear from the owner. Do not go to this restaurant unless you want to be physically assaulted.

The bartenders at this establishment are top-notch, far surpassing any others in the area. The tap list is unparalleled as well. The staff is dedicated to the bar and its future, showing a level of commitment that may initially come off as intimidating. If you are looking to drink downtown, this is the place to be. Treat yourself with a visit to Bentley's - it will change your life. Enjoy a cocktail on the patio and prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the experience.

If you haven 't been to Bentley 's in a while, it 's probably a lot different than the last time you went there. Whoever it was that was working, probably isn 't there anymore. The bands aren 't playing. The karaoke has stopped. The clientele has changed a bit. Fu is running the place now, so that means, if you want a Little White Lie or Hot and Dirty Pickle , you go here for it, and not to Radio Maria. He brought over his InFUsions, when he took over. He 's revamped the cocktail list, and is working hard on the beer selection. When I get done bartending, I like to have a drink to unwind. I prefer to have a little bit of quiet alone time, time to get away from the happy revelers that I 've just been serving. I don 't need a lot of time, I just want a little bit of time away from people. Maybe, I don 't want to talk anymore. I need a vest like working dogs have that says don 't pet me . There are a lot of service industry folk who are the same way. Bentley 's is currently the safe space for bartenders. Without the music and karaoke, it 's not filled with the drunken revelers. It does, however, have some of the best drinks, at affordable prices, and the unwashed masses are staying away. I can live with that. But then, if the bartenders are all drinking here, doesn 't that mean it 's probably the best? If it 's where the professionals go... then, that should tell you something.
