Not wrong with it, really. I went because the reviews seemed like the kind of place I'd like to…read morehangout at. And it was a great place, just not a lot of room. I'll be surprised if the fire commissioner allows crowds of over 75 in that place. And I say that as a former firefighter, it's not a very big place. It is a cash only bar, which can get annoying because if you don't tip after every order, you'd be ignored the next time you want to order. No elbow room at the bar. The stools are very close together. I could see myself going back there, maybe in the daytime when it's slow, but I definitely wouldn't go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is out bar hopping

Found this basic looking bar in Galena. Gold Room is a small place with a bar and a few tables and…read morenot much else to be honest. They have a couple TVs so you can watch games or whatever. A lot of the basic beverages. There's beers on tap as well as mixers. Chill place when nothing is going on around. It's also not that crowded when other places are full. The only thing on the menu here is alcoholic beverages which is a good thing. All one needs to have fun. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail like whiskey mixed with Coke or whatever. Can also bring things in. There's a lot of close by restaurants. Got the basic drinks like beer and cheap cocktails. It's open later than most places around here. They have grill in the name but no food so eat before or bring in something from wherever.

Super towny bar. It's the kind of bar where the regulars not only give you the long side eye, but…read morethe bartender won't directly address you until it's established that you "fit in." (In this case, have cash ready to go and don't order some ridiculous cocktail. Stick to beer and shots and you're golden). After that the bartender was pretty fantastic. Cash only. It was absolutely packed. a Completely SRO and it's not a small place. The bar is quite long and there are a few tables here and there. Prices were really cheap. They had Touchtunes but it was so hopping that after an hour, not one of our songs had played yet.

They decided bar should be closed by 1:30, we immediately booked an uber.

I understand they're supposed to be a "local" bar, but they are just blatantly rude for no reason. Not happy.

Or Dives like Noonan's that are care-free, ask your name and can appreciate that your business is your own. The entrance door was wide open. Walking in, I payed no mind to the security bars prominently displayed along the storefront. If figured it was to keep people from getting in...not out! It doesn't take long to realize this is a place of commitment; serious drinkin' commitment that is! Its a sinister first impression with a dark weathered overtone. After all, this a daily 6:00 A.M. shotgun start for regular customers that are typecast by sight, sound and a specific alcohol preference. Despite the hardcore nature of Noonan's appearance, the sun was shining and the natives were friendly. My guess this is a mom and pop operation that upholds an order of professionalism. The place is worn as hell but impeccably clean. All bars have a niche. I'm told home cooked food is available at all times with specific daily specials; 'Big Pork Tenderloin', 'Hot Beef & Mashed' and 'Chicken Salad' to name a few. "Could this be a food destination"? Like I said, 'Doing some day drinkin'...
