When I say I didn't want to leave, I really didn't want to leave, but it was getting dark out (not…read morelike you can tell inside a casino) and it was getting late on a work night. *Sigh*. This place was amazing and I'll tell you why... Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is inside the MGM Grand Casino in Springfield so you know it'll be classy. It was chill, relaxed and really easy going. I loved how we could just sit at the bar, play some video poker, sip and have great conversation with others around you. Service: Excellent. We were first greeted by an awesome young lady. I forget her name, but I'll never forget her tattoo. It was Disneyland, but like, zombie versions. Lol. It was the coolest thing and I believe she called it "Death Disney". Wild, but cool. I do however remember Bryan, Cassie and Aiden! Aiden looks like Bruno Mars, Cassie was really sweet and Bryan... well, Bryan was just damn awesome. He chatted with us, told us his story and how he preferred to make drinks... craft style instead of your normal cookie-cutter style cocktails. So some of the drinks I had weren't even on the menu, but came out of his head. Make sure you go see him. For real. Food: Well, they don't serve food here, so we drank! I started off with some wine... you know, some Pinot Noir, 2 glasses to be precise. Then as I loosened up I started getting adventurous. Hennessy is always delicious, but he fun part is when we got Bryan excited! He likes to create and make drinks so I told him to use his imagination and make me a drink with 219 parts. I was obviously joking, but he answered the call! He came through with a Sidecar at first. A Sidecar is basically cognac, orange liqueur and lemon juice. He stuck with the dark liquor theme since I was already drinking dark. He added his own twist and it was delicious, served with this hilariously big ice cube in it. I loved it. Next was the Old Fashioned. It's made with muddled sugar, (which I watched him do), bitters and whiskey with some citrus zest! Another hit! This dude is legit. Like I said, go see that man. Like I said earlier, I want to drive all the way to MGM just to come hang out at this place. I had that much of a good time there. I will be back.

Absolutely love this little bar in the casino. It gets busy when bands play so be sure to book a…read moretable for 2 hours. Drinks are reasonably priced. Service is friendly and pretty efficient when you reserve a seat. Definitely going back again

I don't know if I can find the words to describe the dining experience...it's as if comfort food…read morecooked some comfort food. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with a side of spatzel and house made apple sauce. I was served a lightly breaded pounded chicken breast that was as big as a trash can lid and carefully placed over fresh spatzel that were kissed by the flat top. I gave it my best but it was like wire clothes hangers... it just multiplied. I didn't even make a dent in the heaping pile of lusciousness. The entree was perfectly seasoned- I am not sure why there were salt and pepper shakers on the table. The applesauce kept up its lift as a wonderful side and not an afterthought. It was just sweet enough to harmoniously complement the entree production. All I could think about was that movie The Flamingo Kid were the lead, Clark Brandon, hummed while he chewed good food. I was almost singing! If I were a local and had a closet of elastic waist pants, I would commit to working my way through the entire menu. Run- don't walk- to this one!!!

What a treat having lunch in this very historic place with an amazing Springfield legacy! The…read moreatmosphere was cozy and filled with stuff to look at everywhere I turned, including what was the largest collections of steins in the country! Excellent service from Shellie included one of the many German brews on tap and a great Reuben with red cabbage as my side. I desperately wanted sauerbraten like my mom used to make, but it was far too hot for a meal like that! And Mom's would always be better. Missing a star because it was the most uncomfortable booth I have ever occupied, but please know there are plenty of seating options. It must be fun when they have parties in the alley!
