Pippa’s is one of the few remaining venues in Champaign that still supports live music. They deserve all the gratitude, in the form of patronage, that we can give them especially on the nights that some of our amazing local musicians playing. Also, the staff is friendly and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The only catch with Pippa’s is that they are cash only so be sure to visit the ATM before you arrive (luckily there is an ATM on sight and a Busey Bank with an ATM about a half a block away).

I came here to wait for our Lyft. It's been a while since I've been inside. The place looks much nicer now compared to when it used to be Dr. Diggers.

I always enjoy this restaurant. It's the best hidden gem bar around. The live bands are great and really liven up the neighborhood.

I saw a Rolling Stones cover band at this restaurant and it was fantastic! Ashley, our waitress, was great. The venue is small and the drinks are cheap. Just a heads up, they only accept cash.
