There was no explanation given--just a rude "you need to leave, Kirk doesn't want you here" like I had done something wrong when i did not. What made it even worse was the owner Sierra's attitude. Instead of handling the situation professionally, they were incredibly disrespectful and dismissive. Talking down to customers and refusing to even explain what was going on is not how you run a business. It honestly felt like they just pick and choose who they want in there without any real justification. If you're looking for a place where you're treated fairly and with basic respect, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.

We totally had a horrible experience; when we ordered drinks, the server never came back. We went over to dance on a Saturday night, and they closed it down early. Then, when we put over $40 in the jukebox, it played our songs that only lasted for a few seconds and were cut off. This was sad because it was my nephew's 21st birthday, and all he had been talking about was going to break and run; the experience we had was horrible. Hopefully, Break and Run will return to the outstanding bar it once was, but for now, it's in terrible shape. Oh, by the way, they need to lighten up on the ice; every drink we got, they filled it up with ice, leaving very little liquor, and still charged full price!

Not the one with the roses and 4 hoofed animals, the one with the green - Billiard Table Green (felt that is). If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of the history and pursuit of the sport of pocket billiards, look no further. One of the most unique places you will find is right here, quietly existing in Willow Springs on the North side of Archer Avenue. You have probably driven past it hundreds of times. Filled with photos and memorabilia of the sport, site of numerous championships, visits from famous billiard wizards, home of antique (priceless) billiard tables, wholesome meals, and wonderful beyond words owners, I give you the Illinois Billiard Club/ aka / Jim and Bonnie's, Jim and Bonnie Parker, Proprietors. From their website: "Today, as the oldest, most historically elegant, individually founded, owned and operated private billiard club in North America, the IBC and Bonnie's Dining & Banquets invite today's 21st century society to enjoy a fine meal, and, the fun filled game of billiards ... all presented within the charm, tranquility and grandeur of their 19th century country home" The IBC is a private club that, for a limited time (effective February 2010) opens its doors at 5pm every Friday and Saturday evening serving dinner and allowing you to check out their billiards tables without membership. Dinner reservations are suggested. Their website: www.illinoisbilliardclub.com There is a lot of information on the sport and on the facility. Jim and Bonnie's provides catering and the facility is available for events. We hold our annual Christmas party here and the space along with the food and service make the event quite special and memorable. Check out the wedding pics on the website. If you can convince your betrothed that this is the place to hold your wedding reception - invite me for giving you the advice. If you visit in the near future, talk to Jim in regards to membership in the IBC. I understand that there are some slots open. If you enjoy billiards, the cost is minimal in regards to the quality of the tables, food and camaraderie you will find here. Note that this is NOT a pool hall bar; this is a first class, family run, private facility for people serious about the sport (which also happens to function as a restaurant in order to market their services). If you are in that "serious about the sport" category, it is more than worth a visit.

Trust me -- their "Hammered Hog" pork tenderloin is about to become the stuff of legend. I'm from Bloomington, IL -- land of tenderloins so big they barely fit on the plate (looking at you, Schooners). So when I say this one is worth crossing state lines for, I mean it. The "Hammered Hog" is pounded flatter than my wallet on payday, seasoned like grandma's Sunday dinner, and so tender it could make you question your loyalty to your hometown tenderloin. It's a hidden gem -- or maybe a hidden hog? Either way, pull over, grab a seat, and get ready to loosen your belt. You'll thank me later. Kudos to Amber F. with the welcoming service and recommendations!

The bar and pool area seems remodeled and well done. The server was friendly and the beer was cold. Just like in the commercial, if someone yells "To Curley's" everyone answers " a neighborhood bar." We did not eat so i can not rate the food. Here is why I gave it three stars: although it is not legally required, nowhere on the website or commercials or front door does it mention that smoking is allowed. I have no problem with bars having smoking. There is a market for it. It would be nice to know before we walked in. This is a heavy smoke bar. Very reminiscent of the old Cox's. From the bar side as you look toward the pool tables, you can see a haze. It is not an overstatement to say everyone was smoking. Now, if you smoke or do not mind leaving ypur clothes in the garage when you get home; then this is a good place to go. If even a little smoke bothers you, think hard about going here.
