    So out of friggin' nowhere this place appeared on my radar. Originally a place to meet friends from…read moreChampaign and the south side of Blm for some Sunday NFL action. We were there for wings and the order we had that day were good but didn't blow us away, but we agreed to make a future date night visit. The 2nd time I went there with buddies for an imprompt happy hour. Neither visit did I really spend any time with the menu and THAT was a huge mistake, because the menu is prodigious, esp if you're a fan of appetizers (which may be the best such list in the area) and esp given what I'm advocating for as the best app going currently - - the giant pretzel with optional apps stuffed inside the 3 spaces in the pretzel. It's an impressive list of mostly fried yumminess and as we work thru that part of the menu, everything has been spot on. Then I noticed on social media that they are now regularly firing up a smoker and mixing things up on the daily specials board quite a bit lately, so it's now time to try another part of the menu. The beer selection is small but mighty - usually with an IPA, a White Oak and another local brewery as well as Yeungling options. The service has always been near perfect. The ambiance a get a little loud (as it should be) during big games and happy hour, but otherwise, laid back. They have a separate event room, robust gaming area and ample gravel lot parking right off the I-74E frontage road. 4.85 stars

    Great quick lunch right off the interstate. The food came out quickly and we loved it. I had fish…read moretacos (2) and they each had a huge piece of fried cod with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. My husband had a crispy chicken salad. It was a good size for lunch and the lettuce was fresh. We shared an order of waffle fries and the seasoning was just right.

Pub II is a good place for watching games or any sports. Has good specials on drinks. The food is pretty average as expected. A pretty crowded place and last time here it was crazy. It's got plenty of room inside but there's mostly empty space in the middle. This is so there's a place for dancing, twerking, or whatever. Afternoons are less hectic but still busy. This is where to watch football on weekends. Even so, we were able to get seats at the bar. It's about $6 for Jameson. Good price to be honest. The food isn't anything special. Especially limited in healthy options. It's about $9 for the Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel. Big ass one good to share among a few. This comes with beer cheese and honey mustard. This is good with regular mustard too. Other food options include greasy burgers. This is more of a place to drink than to eat to be honest. Campus bar that has some good prices on beers and food. It's open late. This is also close to the Amtrak station.
