It's right along the river with a nice view and it's in the Heart of the City where you can see it all. This place is truly in the shape of a garage. This place was dog friendly too. Great selection of drinks and they even have non-alcoholic drinks as well. Prices on all the drinks were fair too. The bar features darts, a jukebox and a few other games. I will say the one drawback about this bar can be on this busy nights is the lines for the restroom. They are single star restrooms and the line for the men's restroom can back up we might just take a chances going to the women's restroom instead. Just because there is no line for the women's restroom on my visit but the line to get to the men's restroom was over a 10 minute wait.

Got some drinks and food from this Irish pub in Joliet. It seems like food is an afterthought but…read morethey still have a full menu. McBride's is one of several locations so you can check out and compare these. Certainly seems like a place to come for a gathering. There's plenty of tables as well as TVs for watching games and whatever kinds of sports. Beers and other alcoholic beverages are why you come to an Irish pub of course. It's got a few deals going on. There's of course the Guinness on tap. Can't go wrong with it. Saturdays it's $6 a pint. As for the food, it's basic. It's $7 to get a few of the Pretzel Sticks. Could be the healthiest food here. These are topped with garlic butter and salt, and served with bistro sauce and nacho cheese, but I got mine without the butter and had mustard. Have to say it's a lot better than expected. It's got lots of specials that help save money for more to get drunk on. The food is okay while being pretty meaty, with bangers and mash types of things, but they also have pretzels.

Have driven past this place a hundred times on the way to Al's Steakhouse (q.v. my Yelp about this…read moreperennial fave). Never stopped, as I'm not exactly partial to pub places like this. My aversion was confirmed here at McBrides. I had a taste for a salad, and swung with a Wedge-how could they foul THAT up? (I soon learned exactly how) On a chalk board nearby I saw "Burger special $6". I'm not against dropping a coin or two for a good feed, but I've found a lot of places that look like this are akin to those coin-operated machines with a claw that you try to snag an expensive looking gift, only to have it drop just short of the hopped that delivers it to you. Close, but no Cicada... How could they foul up a burger? (I soon learned exactly how) The Wedge was weird-all the stuff heaped on top of the Iceburg slice, and the waste was...weird. Not bad or spoiled, just. Weird. The burger tasted odd, too. I'm betting it was out of a box. frozen as a penguin's ass. Y'know...penguin ass might have been the protein source for this, but I digress. (kidding, but that's how odd the "burger" tasted) I had a Guinness, which was properly poured, and a properly poured pint of the black stuff is worth 2 stars. The service was efficient and friendly and the place was clean. Eat somewhere else and stop here for a drink...

Albeit antique and junk stores, but at least they are trying (we saw so many towns that had given up on our trip). The Rustic Inn felt very welcoming and had not been spiffed up to appeal to tourists. It looks and feels like it exists because those that live there want it to exist. It was hot (in the high 90's) yet when we walked in the place was very chill (temperature and attitude). But best of all they had shuffleboard. And a good one at that. We opted to forego the free play and spent quarters just so we could use the vintage scoreboard....it was as much fun and playing the game. This is a great stop on the long highway and we would definitely come back again.
