An amazing time!…read more First time here and we will definitely be coming back as the food was amazing but the drinks.. holy moly, those were outstanding! Got to try 11 of them and each one was smooth and it was like drinking juices. All of them had great flavor and some had fun unique twists. To start out with, they had a busy night, between Frank Senatra night where their live entertainment was great, it was also homecoming, so the place was packed, which wasnt a bother as they also have quieter outdoor seating (just have to watch out for the bugs! ) The food came out in droves as one of our guys at the table decided to go down the list and order one of each of the appetizers, (note: we were only a table of 5) all of which were pretty great. My favorite probably was the salmon bruchetta followed up by the seasonal burrata! However, some of the guys devoured the chips & goods while the wings dissappeared so fast. Killing most of the appetizers, we moved onto the main course. I got the apple brie flatbread which was really good and sweet. The carmalized onions paired with the melty bri and fresh apples very well. While another friend ended up woth their watermelon feta salad which was pretty decent. Overall it was a great night and we decided we would be coming back for another fun night out in the future.

The Vault is often the place to be for community events downtown and on the weekends! Great vibes when it's packed.

OMG - GOOD BARBEQUE!…read more We were hunting for a place for lunch in Dixon, and my wife suggested this place. Good suggestion. I ordered their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, with the optional more expensive Truffle Fries. Let me start with the sandwich - oh, was it soooo good. Hot, tender, and the BBQ sauce was outstanding! The Truffle Fries were nothing to trifle about (excuse the pun). They were well-seasoned, tasted great, and were nice, hot and fresh. My wife had their Texas Cheesesteak Sandwich, again with the Truffle Fries. She really enjoyed her sandwich - she said it was very tasty. We went with non-alcoholic drinks since I had to go back to work. The Root Beer was good, and she really liked here iced tea. While we were there, I grabbed a piece of their cheesecake, which wasn't as good as their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, but hit the spot. Service was attentive and helpful. I liked the decor in the place - just enough to catch your eyes, not enough to get lost in the background. Two large screen TVs over the bar show different events (in this case, golf and something else) and the bar back looked clean. The rest rooms (at least the men's room) was very clean, smelled clean, and worked properly. This can be a problem in bars, they clearly have the right standards.

The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.

There was plenty of seating for myself but if are coming with 4 or more people, make a reservation. The servers were very nice and accommodating.

They do have good but it is more of snacks than a meal so come full! 5/5

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.

They were served their food and we're done eating and we never got ours so we walked out. I can't comment on the food because we never got it.
