How did Stagger Inn fly under my radar for all these years and I do mean years. Stagger Inn opened…read morein 1974, the year I graduated from high school and I am now just discovering them. If it were not for the Illinois 66 Passport, I still may be oblivious. The Illinois Passport is promoting 66 businesses on the first 301 miles of the original historical Route 66. The businesses start in Chicago and come all the way down the state to Collinsville. After visiting the business, you get a stamp in your passport just like your travel passport. Stagger Inn is definitely a historical neighborhood dive bar. It's 52 years old and still going strong. It has an old wooden bar, two rooms for dining and drinking and you can see into the kitchen from a large window. The staff was friendly and provided great service. I sat at the bar and ended up chatting with all the servers as they picked up drinks for their tables. When reading the menu, I was impressed that they hand-cut their fries and hand batter the onion rings. I am definitely going back for the onion rings. This visit I did the fries as a side and they were crispy and still had the skins on the potatoes. When they placed my plate in front of me, they informed me they do not season the fries. The bartender recommended that I salt them while they were hot. Preferring pepper, I gave mine a shake of black pepper. I liked that they didn't salt the fries, since I'm trying to reduce my sodium intake. My Stagger Burger was incredibly delicious. I added, Pepper Jack Cheese and Jalapeños. They were generous with the jalapeños and left the seeds in, so the burger had a little burn to it. For me, this burger was top-notch. Stagger Inn, thanks for the stamp in my Route 66 Passport. I'll be back for Chicken Wings and Onion Rings. See you, soon.

What a fun place to meet up with friends! It's a typical bar in so many ways, and yet it has a full…read more(and somewhat fancy) menu. Getting there and parking: My family, including a pre-teen, met up at Stagger in to visit with a couple of our friends. Parking was a small challenge. There is a large public lot on the same block, but it was full when I got there around 6:20pm on a Wednesday. There is minimal street parking. Luckily, I found a spot after a couple of times around the block. Walking in, you can see right away that it really is a no-frills tavern. There's not even traditional table service, though it's not exactly counter service, either. You sit down, decide what you want from the menu, walk up to the kitchen counter to place your order, and give the ticket the kitchen gives you to your server. However, the menu was much nicer than what I expected, with very fair prices! Appetizers ranged in variety from French fries and wings to fried pickles and spinach artichoke toasted ravioli, with prices ranging from around $4 to $8. Entrees included a variety of sandwiches, salads, and burgers from $4 to $8.50 or so. They even had vegetarian and pescatarian options, including a blackened tuna sandwich and a black beans burger! All three of us, including a picky pescatarian adolescent, found food we enjoyed! Beyond the food, the service staff was friendly and the bar service was adequate. In all, it was a really great place e together up with friends AND bring a kid--at 6:30 on a weeknight, at least! I would very much recommend this place to a group looking for a casual environment with good food at good prices! Atmosphere: Food selection & taste: Service: Price: I'm not sure if would be fair to give 4 starts based on the above, though, because I wasn't to rate it for what it is, not for what something else is. Overall, I give it a 4.5! Vegetarian friendly: yes (lacto-ovo)

The beer here is pretty cheap, if you're paying by card there is a $10 minimum. I didn't have any of the food but the menu I saw online looked really appetizing. Staff here was pretty young but the crowd here was more middle-aged than anything. It's in a pretty busy intersection too. They have Gaming Machines too. They have an outdoor area but it was too cold to be over there. In the far back room they have basically a Four Seasons room but they have a heater so it doesn't get too cold over there and boy does it feel like it could get to 90° over there like you're in a senior center or Florida! Overall I was pretty satisfied with a visit here though it was pretty short .

Am wondering if these folks who opened The Harp have ever been to Ireland? Because EVERYWHERE I…read morewent there had 2 or 3 different ciders available. I must admit, at least they've got Strongbow, but still... Oh, they've got a cider from Urban Chestnut also. There's so many other good ones out there! The layout and way they remodeled it is fantastic, but what they serve (or don't serve) is more important IMO. I can't speak to the service because we were there for their St. Patrick's Day celebration, so it was craaazy!

Fun crowd (21-30). Be VERY specific when ordering drinks. I ordered a rum & diet and ended up with spiced rum. When I said this is "Captain's" not regular rum, she replied "you didn't tell me what kind of rum you wanted" and replaced it begrudgingly. Too funny. We ended up having a great time and getting home LATE. There are plenty of hot, farm boys to flirt with and apparently, there isn't really an enforced bar close time as long as you are in the bar before close. In Ireland, they call those "lock ins." ;-)

( we did not partake today) maybe sometime soon! My friend had their avocado toast which looked amazing.

Their homemade sausage gravy was to die for!! It's loaded with potatoes and fried cheese curds. I added eg for $2 additional. Talk about food coma! We just drank coffee and water. The ladies taking and brining out our orders were very kind. I don't think they were prepared for the crowd after the gingerbread run. It wasn't too bad. They did kindly inform us if we did want the mimosa flight it may take a bit to come out. Copper fire you outdid it this time on the food!!

We sat on the patio and started with a bottle of wine and the bruschetta app. With so many meat & cheese options, we couldn't all agree on charcuterie to split, so we all ended up getting our own personal Pick 2 boards. I went with the red dragon mustard cheddar and cotswold with Genoa and peppered salames. The board is served with crackers, olives, dried fruit, a nuts, and dark chocolate and I ate every morsel! We also got the chocolate salame dessert which is a sliced chocolate roll with pistachios and was DELICIOUS. The seating outside was nice but a bit loud from street traffic. I didn't make my way inside, but am looking forward to checking it out next time. Service was pretty attentive considering we were outside and it was a pretty busy evening. I will definitely be back to explore more of this menu!!
