This little joint is hands down the coolest bar I have ever been to. It is unassuming on the outside, but you step in and it is a technicolor wonderland of nostalgic pieces and new art. There is an extensive craft drink list, and the two I had were expertly made. Even better...both were sub $10!! It is super clean, and you can tell that they take pride in their blue heaven. Walk past the genderless bathrooms and there is a separate room (with its own music) where karaoke is held on Saturday nights. There are coloring sheets and even a merch section made from the lost and found. Craft drinks, great decor, good music, and a DOG! Congrats to Levi (owner) and Lady (Corgi) for creating the vibes. It is nothing short of epic.

Can I give more than 5 stars? This place is a diamond in the little town of Beloit. The drinks are…read morephenomenal, the staff are friendly and the puppers (yes, there are super cute dogs on many nights) love a good head pat or butt scratch. The bartenders know their cocktails as well as their coffee, so both are top notch. I'm a big fan of getting some of both with their espresso martinis. To be honest, I'm not sure I've had a bad drink here. You can really tell the bartenders are proud of their craft, and it shows in their drinks. They even have great nonalcoholic options for non drinkers as well. They have a rotating monthly menu with a different theme so you always have something new to try. They can also make the classics if you're more of a purist. No matter your taste, they'll take care of you. This is such a fantastic addition to the new businesses in Beloit that are making it a city to visit.

I've never had a bad meal at The Butterfly Club, and that history is exactly why I'm hoping they…read moretighten a few things back up. The prime rib and shrimp was fantastic, no notes there. But the baked potato came out only warm and undercooked, and the French onion soup needs some attention: the onions weren't caramelized, so it lacked the rich depth that dish should have. None of this is a dealbreaker, and I'll be back. I'd just love to see them sweat the small stuff again rather than lean on nostalgia and their loyal regulars. Get those details right and this is easily a five-star spot.

The bar service was great! It was all downhill from there…read more My wife and I ordered seafood. I got the orange roughy. It was okay. The side of au gratin potatoes was at room temperature. My wife ordered cod with french fries. The cod was less than room temperature and the so were the fries. Our server came by to ask us how was the food, but didn't wait for an answer. When she did come by later we told her that the food was cold. She asked if we would like to have my wife's seafood dinner boxed up and we said no. The problem was with the attitude of the server. She didn't care. We didn't get a coupon for a different meal. Nothing. They took her meal off of our bill. All we got were the smug looks from the server we complained to management and the manager did nothing but tell us that we should have told her earlier. I have been told for decades that this was a great place to eat. I've been there four times now and twice the food was unacceptable. We will never go there again.

Cheese balls are as good as you'd expect from Wisconsin. I had a chicken quesadilla and it was six large pieces and grilled perfectly. So my $8 supper is now going to also be tomorrow's lunch as I could only eat half. Hubby had a prime rib sandwich dinner. Wasn't cooked how he ordered but for ten bucks we didn't expect much. Said it was good though. His double pour drink was really a triple. He had to leave it. I've never seen him do that before. And was $9.50. My mixed rum drink was a little weak even for me, but was only $4.50. We will def visit again. Nice Inside with one part kind of country sports bar and the other sides more dining room like. Also had a covered back patio. For a quick really cheap really decent meal this is your spot. This sits behind the Hampton Inn and Home 2 Suites not far off the interstate.

This translates to the towns most popular watering hole as well. Their food is pretty standard bar food, but it's always cooked well and tastes great. Their Corn nuggets are one of my favorite options and their pizza's are always good. My wife always gets their fish fry of which they have several fish options and she seems to enjoy it every time. The prices for their food is also well below most of the places We've been to that are similar on the IL side. Their drinks are also priced well and they have a decent selection but don't expect to have mixologist level drinks. Fridays they offer something called double bubble which is essentially a BOGO when ordering drinks and they offer raffle tickets when ordering drinks for their Friday Meat Raffles which is always such a fun experience. They offer live music and have open mic comedians at times too. I absolutely recommend giving Boxcar a try.

The Road Dawg Family Restaurant is my dad's regular Thursday spot, and he brings me here every time…read moreI'm in town. Located right off the interstate, it has that classic highway diner feel. The main sign on the pole has definitely seen better days, and the place as a whole feels a bit run down. As you walk in, be careful of the trip hazard at the entrance--it's a bit uneven. It's a little "divey," but don't let that be a dealbreaker. It's just an observation, a reminder not to judge a book by its cover. Note to management: Some minor fixes could give it a little more curb appeal. Stepping inside, you'll see the main dining room and an old buffet area that I assume hasn't been used since COVID. It's all a bit dated, but clean and functional. They serve breakfast all day and have a full lunch and dinner menu as well. Even though it was a relatively busy Sunday morning, we were greeted and seated quickly and didn't have to wait long for our initial service. Almost before I could take a sip of my no-frills, bottomless cup of $3 coffee, our giant portions of breakfast arrived. It was an omelette kind of day for us. We placed a special order for my dad (he's got his usual), I got the Denver Omelette ($14) with jalapeños, and my stepmom ordered the Meat Eaters Omelette ($15). They opted for toast, and I got the pancakes, which were a meal in themselves. While the prices have increased significantly since my first visit, the large portions are big enough to share or take half home, which is exactly what we did. We were a little ignored and never asked if everything was as expected. We did, however, get coffee refills and eventually received the bill and some to-go boxes. Another note to management: The bell that incessantly rings every time someone comes or goes needs to go! By the time we left, I was anxious and extremely tired of the bell. I feel sorry for the employees who have to listen to that all day long! Overall, this place does a good and honest business. Aside from the bell and the slight dip in attention, we enjoyed our meal.
