I visited this bar for the first time on July 28, 2022, hoping to enjoy more than one beer. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the bartender's rude demeanor. When I presented my state ID, she remarked, “That doesn’t look like you.” After providing my FOID and EMT IDs, she scrutinized them under a light for what felt like an eternity before finally allowing me to order a drink. Despite eventually getting my beer, the bartender continued to act unfriendly, making me feel unwelcome. I quickly finished my drink and left because it was clear she didn't want me there. If I owned this bar, I'd consider hiring different bartenders to attract more customers. After this experience, I have no desire to return anytime soon. If the bartender from that night happens to read this, I suggest she work on being more approachable and hospitable. Alternatively, it might be worth opening a DMV nearby so she can get my ID photo to her liking—after all, it would be nice to order a drink without feeling judged!
Love it
Better than the old End Row, but that’s not saying much. If you like sleazy, small town bars this is your watering hole. Beyond that, I have little to say. Sleazy in Key West is one thing. Sleazy in Central Illinois is just sleazy.
I always have a great experience here, and the salads are incredible! The staff is friendly and really funny!
