Of course that's not always a good thing however. They seem to be best known for Bloody Marys because it's mentioned in almost all the other reviews. A good reason for coming is because it's a cheap ass bar. It's about $5 for a basic cocktail. There's also of course the Bloody Marys. Be aware these are made from a mix, so it's not like these are any special kind of recipe or anything. These taste like it's a mix. Also there's free popcorn, which is the only food. There's entertainment including a pool table but not a lot. Good cheap cocktails. It's the best that can be said about it. There's not really any food but maybe they have popcorn or you can bring in something.

Plenty of regulars come here. It was bingo night and they had a little shop here on the other side. Drinks were fairly priced, didn't have anything too extraordinary. Clean establishment as well and friendly service. Overall, casual establishment worth checking out.

Always has a game on a TV and pretty quiet sometimes which isn't a bad thing because you can actually just hang out. The prices are pretty good too. It has some pretty cheap prices on drinks and food. Most wells are really cheap and have a very nice pour. They seem to be generous most times. It's about 2 for a pour. The need for drinking should accompany the need for eating something. It doesn't have much in the way of food. They have some varieties of pretzels. It's $1 for a container full of some. Games here also include slots if you're into playing with your money. It sometimes has good odds. They have had quite a few winners.

What a find in a quirky off beat town of Willmington, Illinois. This is one of those Route 66 towns…read morethat took their abandoned storefronts and have tried to make something out of them. 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.

This place is the hottest new bar in the Wilmington area. This place has been open for a couple of…read moreweeks and it gets a lot of great attention. 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.
