There's also food like burgers and pretzels. Basically the setup is pretty confusing. It's got a couple bars inside. There's one that only has a few of the beers, and the other has more. Kind of an unorganized feeling. The beers are pretty good prices for most ones it seems. It's about $5 a pint. The best one of these we had was the Buckwater Stout. It has biscuit and caramel flavors. This is a heart beer that's not so thick. Also there's food. It's about $11 for the Bavarian Pretzel. Good for sharing, and absorbing alcohol. There's also burgers if wanting to get meaty. For sure it's the place to go in town if wanting locally brewed craft beers. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. They have a happy hour in the evening on weekdays.

A surprisingly good amount of stuff on the menu including plant based. This place may be a dive, but it's better than it looks. A lot of history in this bar. It's known for the cheap ass happy hours. There's also the cheap ass weekly specials. Be sure to check out the list in the bathroom. It's $2 for whiskey on Wednesdays. Among the many cheap drinks. Burgers are most popular among the food options. The food menu also has a lot for vegans. It's $6 for the Impossible Chicken. This comes on a bun topped with lettuce, onions, and pickles. Has to be one of the places you go to when visiting this college town to check out the local flavor. It's on Illinois Avenue at Walnut Street. There's lots to get for meat eaters such as burgers, and there's also healthier options, including many things for vegans and vegetarians.

Pks is always been our bar we love it. It may have to change some but still a good place to goread more

The place has a long history in town. A lot of fun has gone on here. It's one of the few good places in town to see live music. This kind of looks like an airplane hangar from the outside. Inside it looks more like a dive bar. Lots of room in here though. Good place even when there's not music, because you can drink at the bar. It's about $4 for the cheapest cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. Good specials on pints and buckets. There's no food but you can bring in stuff. Have to make an update about this business. It has closed. This is sad for the community, it's a place with lots of history, so you'll have to go to some other bar or wherever.

Came looking to have a few drinks. It's a place that certainly has some. They also have good prices for these. Basically there's not really an atmosphere. This feels more like a part of the hotel it seems. It's $2 for domestic beers at happy hour. They have the basics like Miller Lite. Have no idea about the food people talk about. They turned out to not have shit. It's about $1 for potato chips. They must have changed the menu since the last time. Has a pretty good happy hour. It's the best thing about it. This is located on Giant City Road next to the Best Western.

I make the trip there for that reason... but maybe I am just happy there is somewhere like this down here and don't mind the 3 minute drive.
