Beloit, WI is a little town, 90 minutes from Chicago - O'Hare. There are less than 40,000 people…read moreand a river runs through the city. If you're ever in Beloit, be sure to visit 5BAR. This little joint is hands down the coolest bar I have ever been to. It is unassuming on the outside, but you step in and it is a technicolor wonderland of nostalgic pieces and new art. There is an extensive craft drink list, and the two I had were expertly made. Even better...both were sub $10!! It is super clean, and you can tell that they take pride in their blue heaven. Walk past the genderless bathrooms and there is a separate room (with its own music) where karaoke is held on Saturday nights. There are coloring sheets and even a merch section made from the lost and found. Craft drinks, great decor, good music, and a DOG! Congrats to Levi (owner) and Lady (Corgi) for creating the vibes. It is nothing short of epic.

I went to celebrate my birthday there. Little after 3pm on 3/31/25. I had such the worst service…read more The lady didn't pay attention to my husband and I when we let her know respectfully said we were ready to order. Because she was just continue to talk to her regularly customer which you can clearly see. As she started to make our drink she stopped in the middle of it to get another drink for the man she kept talking to. Which clearly was her friend. She even put in the wrong hamburger order in after bringing mine out. So my husband had to wait longer as I waited to eat. The drink was terrible. And try to enjoy my birthday meal and drink it was just bad. I still try to stay positive. So I order a different drink thinking it would be better. She took her a little bit to get her attention again. Their were only her two friend and 3 other people. I was so upset to have a terrible birthday experience. I still left a tip bcz that's what I do which I shouldn't have and am mad at myself I did. I just didn't know how to give it back and her see I didn't leave somthing. But I will tell everyone I know not to go there at all and just how horrible my birthday experience was. I TRUELY will never go there again. The bar lady had terrible service and just made me feel that our presence their was in her way of focus on her conversation with the man and women she was talking to the whole time. Am pissed that I picked there to have my special birthday and just to experience such terrible service and drink. We spent $65 there. It was Just Bad Bad And I do mean Bad all the way around. What a Happy Terrible Birthday time. TRUELY upset. If I could give a "0" score I would.

The swampwater is pure green booziness and the shot strangers will buy ya will leave ya a lil tipsy if you're not careful.

This isn't necassarily bad if your down with swimming upstream in a whiskey river which the locals will gladly assist you with. This place is best reserved for a late night with a small group of friends. This bar is right next door to La Casa Grande which can be dangerous if you enjoy a delicous Tex-Mex style cuisine. Overall, this is a solid dive type bar with plenty of local charm. I would not plan a special trip to it, but it can be solid if your in a pinch.

When I first came to Beloit, a woman I met recommended Lucy's #7 Burger Bar. I kept it in mind, and…read moreafter seeing it listed in an article about 24 things to do in Beloit, I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the Wisconsinite Burger with cheese curds on the side, along with a beer from 3 Sheeps Brewing. I had never tried their beer before, and it was really good. The burger was delicious too, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The cheese curds had their own unique style. They tasted good, but they just were not really my thing. The service made the experience even better. My server was very polite, helpful, and informative. When I mentioned that it was my first time in Beloit, she recommended checking out the stadium to catch a minor league baseball game. I thought that was a really cool local recommendation. I forgot her name but she was a great server!! Overall, I loved my experience and would definitely go back.
