Checked out this cheap bar in Champaign. It may not look like much but it's a great value. Brass…read moreRail is where the locals come to booze up away from the college craziness and pay less for stronger mixers. Also great for watching games. They have a few slots. Basic looking bar. It's certainly not all party atmosphere like others up the street. This is where to get cheap and stiff things. Finding a place around here that's cheaper is hard. It's about $5 to get basic mixers like whiskey and whatever. As for the rest of the bar there's a few more reasons to come. There's a few video slots if wanting to blow money and play. Favorite among locals. It's a lot more easygoing than the campus bars and cheaper too. This is located on University at Walnut.

A must visit if you plan to get wasted on the Illinois campus. Illini Inn has been one of the…read moreplaces for students and alumni to party their ass off. Many have been here through the years. Fun place for watching a game. The prices are low too. I like how this is kind of a smaller bar but it's also fun. Pretty cheap prices on things. This is especially true for wells. It's $2 for a typical well drink. So apparently they have some pizza but the quality is questionable. It's about the only expensive thing here at about $20 each. The quality makes avoiding this probably the best idea. Good place for watching a game. It isn't even bad watching the Illini in here because it's small and not as many people are in here. The bar itself is pretty gross and smelly.

This is a great venue for artists (although you have to do a lot of your own publicity to bring in an audience, and it's pass the tip jar, so a bit of a risk). Nice artist green room downstairs. Great selections of beer, including a variety of stouts and porters. Everything from 2% milk stout up to 9%! Great bartenders and they also have wine, mixed drinks, non alcoholic etc. Bring your own food! They have good quality merch, hats, shirts, hoodies.

Has a bar area and plenty of tables inside. There's also a patio great for watching live music. Best things about it are the drinks and food. It's fairly cheap as far as how popular it is. This is one of the main hangouts east of the campus area along with the Rose Bowl which is next to here and always has music on weekends. Come chill. It's about $5 to get basic mixers like Jameson and whatever. Food is better than expected. It's about $11 for an entree like a burger. These come with a side. I got a Veggie Burger. The coolest thing is they have a toppings bar where you can top it with onions, pickles, or whatever. Loaded it up and it was a glorious mess. The rest of the menu has other sandwiches including grilled cheese, Reubens, and others. For sure it's a classic and there's plenty more things coming. It's located on Water among some back alleys and other unassuming places. The best times are weekends when there's music and stuff.

Hubers is a good neighborhood bar. There really aren't any others like it in Chambana, but they are…read morea dime a dozen in Chicago, and when they are good, they are great. Hubers is a townie bar, to be sure, but the best kind of townie bar: the staff is friendly, not surly, patient with noobs and the drinks are generous and cheap. They pour massive shots in tumbler glasses and offer big steins of domestic drafts for less than what a pint runs in Downtown Champaign. They serve food, which is stellar in its value, if not its uniqueness. Simple pub grub done well is the order of the day. They have a surprising variety of surprisingly good thin-crust personal pizzas for less than $4 and all the expected fried things. Popcorn is free and they will make more just for you. If I was serious about throwing darts, this is where I would come, as it is apparent they take it seriously at Hubers: there is an entire room dedicated solely to this and about 4 dozen trophies. There is ample parking in the rear, as well as a tiny semi-enclosed smoking area that is only a little bit less depressing than the smoking tanks at the Atlanta Airport. The decor inside is nothing special, but upon close inspection you will find echoes of the historic grocery that inhabited the structure in years past. An old-fashioned candy counter is at the front of the store and still in use. Hubers is a good place to watch sports, as while they do not have the biggest or newest TVs, they sure have a lot of them and are not shy about letting you tune in whatever suits you. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is they do not have very many of the "fancy" microbrews or imports that just about every place in Chambana stocks these days, and any that they do carry are likely old. This is a liquor and domestic beer joint. Also, like any neighborhood/townie bar, there is an alkie or two that may pass through, and this is not the place to meet chicks, or at least not he kind of chicks that you want to brag about on the Internet.

There are some specials and they also offer karaoke on Thursday nights.

My cousin, friend, sister and I were trying to find a place to have some drinks after my cousin's daughter's wedding and someone told us about this place a couple blocks down from our hotel.

Prices were reasonable too. We found a table and all were able to have a couple of drinks before they closed. The vibe in this place was fun too!
