I'm afraid I have to write an update. I don't want to leave a poor review. Not for a small business…read moreand not in my small-town area. But the woman owner/manager was AWFUL to me the last time I was in there. And I've heard she does that to folks. That my experience with her, though specific, isn't unusual. I'd been SO excited to meet her, but she thought I was making some political statement or Covid statement or something, because I was wearing a mask while having a drink and waiting for my to-go food. I was NOT making a political or Covid-statement. In fact, since I wear a mask, I'd purposely worn a goat-themed mask IN CASE I MET HER. Which I had hoped to do! But in any case, she didn't care why I was wearing it. Just went off on Covid, on vaccines, on what she does and doesn't do in terms of all kinds of things I hadn't asked about. And when I say "went off," I mean that in the middle of it, she turned to another customer and asked, "How much is she [me] going to take?" She knew what she was doing. Anyway, I got my food. I left crying. I cried all the way home. Usually, I just cry watching sappy TV/movies. The food was good. I'll never go back. It's not about the mask. I didn't bring it up, and I don't care what anyone thinks me wearing a mask. I don't comment on other people's appearances. There was no cause for her to comment on mine. Especially not for something smaller than a scarf that doesn't do anyone else any harm. No one needs to share their opinions or assumptions with me. Anyway, from 5 stars to something much two. And the two is for the quality of the food and Jim, I think, is his name. Whatever his opinions of me, he was kind, and the food was good. A real disappointment BG's turned out to be, though. I would have been there every week. Instead, I happily eat elsewhere.

The bar itself is gorgeous and the selection of drink drinks and what they have on tap is more than I've seen anywhere else. The service is pretty much immediate, the mixed drinks are fantastic (and I am very finicky about my mixed drinks), and the food....OMG THE FOOD! I really don't like burgers, but the person I was with got a burger and it was amazing and insisted I tried it and let me tell you, it was the best freaking burger I've ever tasted my entire life! I went there a second time, on a Saturday night, and it was very busy, but service was still very quick, my mixed drink was perfect, music was great, but not too loud where you couldn't hold a conversation and they even had security! At a bar/restaurant on Main Street in Collinsville!! as a tiny little female, who happen to be there with her tiny little female family member, I felt super safe and had a great time! So if you're looking for somewhere to go eat, I suggest Sloans, (I just found out they did brunch on weekends and I can't wait to try that, plus they have a full Lent menu, so no having to search while I'm allowed to eat on a Friday right now!). And if you're looking for a place to hang out and have a good time, while still feeling safe, with good service and good drinks later on in the evening, go to Sloan's!

Craft Beer - Chicken Wings - Tots…read more I'm a fan of Global Brew Tap House. In my opinion, they have the best wings in Edwardsville and beyond. I've tried multiple sauces and cannot pick a favorite, because they all make my tastebuds dance. Pairing the wings up with a cold craft beer and a side of tots makes for a great lunch, a treat for Happy Hour and a super dinner. I am a stickler for the quantity of my flats and drums being the same and GBTH always serves me matching numbers. The wings are always good sized, crispy and meaty. Again, they are the best wings I have had on the Eastside of the Mississippi. This August they are doing, Pawgust. When you buy a craft beer from Alaskan Brewing Co. a $1 from ever beer goes to Gateway Pet Guardians. I drank an extra beer on my last visit and I will make sure to go back a couple more times during August. I like it when I can eat, drink and raise monies for a dog charity all at the same time. I always sit at the bar and the service is attentive and friendly. If the bartenders are friendly, I can only assume the table servers are equally as good. If you want wings and a craft beer, Global Brew is where you need to go.
