Mecca of booze…read more.. Prices are about same as any other liquor store, but they have a HUGE wine selection. Not only other countries & states, but many of the IL wine makers are featured here as well. They offer wine tastings on Saturday afternoon (call to confirm time) and are very generous with tasting (wink, wink). I also like the mix-N-match feature for beer. They offer many, many different beers that I would normally never try if I had to buy 6 at a time. But with the mix-N-match pack I can try 6 different beers to see if I like them. Love it! Friar Tuck's has a wide selection of all liquors too. So if you can't find what you're looking for somewhere else, give Friar Tuck's a try. And if you're considering making beer or wine at home, they carry all the materials you'll need to get you started too.

The corned beef was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The Brussels sprouts were different--they…read morewere shredded and mixed with sauerkraut--but they were still really good, even though they weren't like any I've had before. The potatoes were also pretty solid. The flavored tea was nice, it just needed a bit of sugar. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience even better. She was enthusiastic and enjoyed sharing her favorite menu items, which I appreciated. The ambiance was very welcoming, and I liked how open the space felt. The only downside was that the host who seated us seemed a little short when asking if we had reservations, especially when I asked if they were required.

Checked out this local brewery in Normal close to the ISU campus. Fiala Brothers often isn't as…read morecrowded as you may think. It may be because the students are at the dive bars and other crap shacks drinking Natty Ice, PBR, and whatever. All cool to be honest. That leaves us with the good stuff. Bad thing is the stuff isn't actually that good. It's better than the mass produced crap beer to be sure. This just isn't that impressive for local craft stuff though. Had a few. It's about $7 a pint. Best one of these we had was the Stay Golden PonyBoy, an IPA. This is an average tasting IPA with not a lot notable. Also there's food. Just basic stuff. It's $3 for Cajun Fries. These help absorb the alcohol so you can drink more, but the fries just taste like the seasoning and not much else to be honest. For sure it's okay for a few beers. It's just not a good place if you want some good ones. The food is pretty much average and not worth coming here just for getting some fries or whatever.

As we were finishing up our meal/drinks some really bad weather moved in, and suddenly tornado warnings hit everyone's phones. Destihl management quickly moved all remaining patrons (us included) into the brewery portion of the building for safety for approximately 45 minutes or so. Kudos to all members of the Destihl team that night, as they were friendly and professional during this severe and intense weather event.

I got the charcuterie shareable as my entree and a dragon fruit sangria. Drink was fruity and tasty ; but a lot of alcohol. The charcuterie was filling although a little salty. Which should have been expected DUH! Hubby got fried cod and a house salad. He enjoyed both. Website recommended reservations. We were seated immediately without one. It's spacious on the inside. The women's restrooms was individual powder room with your own pedestal sink! Wanna come back and try breakfast next time.
