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.

To start, we noticed how slow their service was and how their staff's urgency was almost non existent. Our bartender was very quirky but also very nice. We ordered nachos to share and each got 1 overpriced taco each. we both also tried mixed cocktails. Mine smelled and tasted like bandaids... idk why i knew what those taste like or maybe my imagination led me to that. My wife got the margarita flight ($20) for 3 tiny pre mixed margaritas. Both of us did not like our drinks. The food was fine, the nachos lacked depth but were edible. The tacos were not good at all, hers (fish) had very little fish and the taco was very small and didn't taste like much. My Brussel sprout taco was also very small and VERY salty. Neither of us finished our tacos. The one thing i did really enjoy was their salsa that I had to ask for with the nachos, that I was also charged for. Ultimately we spent $70-$80 on a tiny meal we didn't like at all. I have no intention to return and would suggest you explore the amazing options around beloit before landing here.

The golf was very fun - 9 holes of different putt putt greens. Our drinks were made well (the Rockstar Martini was sweet for my liking, but that is just how it's made here - nothing wrong with it!). We tried the hot honey chicken sliders and loved them! I only wish they gave us hand wipes because your fingers will definitely get sticky! We also tried duck bowling and had a blast! We got the hour and played 3 games between the two of us. It is a fun, "mini" version of regular bowling. You can go up to the bar or they can come to you. Our bartenders were great all evening! We went on a Thursday night and it was not super busy, but I think they get pretty busy on the weekends, so prepare to wait for bowling! We will come back for the simulation driving and basketball next time!

They changed their entire menu and the food is amazing. We got the brussel sprouts, Italian chopped salad, shrimp scampi, braised short rib, and butterscotch budino. I HIGHLY recommend all of the them, they were delicious. All the servers were so attentive, we had probably about 3-4 people constantly checking in including the manager.

My server Karen was top notch and very informative and attentive. They served a focaccia bread which was amazing, I would go back just for the bread. No need to dip it in the oil, it has a delicate flavor that holds its own. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the Chicken Parm. The serving size was generous, the pasta was prepared perfectly, and the sauce was delicious, however my chicken was overcooked. I look forward to a return trip here to try something else on the menu.

We then order 2 doubles Tito's from the bar. Some how they didn't have club soda or roses lime lol. Those are standard, run of the mill mixers. If I'm paying to get in, I expect the place to have a fully stocked bar. That's silly to not have regular mixers. The bartender was like, "we have Pepsi." Lol she really suggested Pepsi for the substitute for club soda and roses lime. What kind of bartender does this? Like no other suggestions of available mixers were suggested. Just Pepsi lol. So we order the Tito's with pineapple. We get the drinks and the total is....wait for it...$48!!!! For 2 double Tito's! I went to Vegas in August. The drinks at Coyotes cost more than any drinks I purchased in Vegas! Worth mentioning, it's located in South Beloit Illinois lol. The inside is merely decent. Not worth the cover. Drinks are highway robbery! Stay far, far away from Coyotes if you value your hard earned money. Coyotes is a money grab! There are far better places in the state line area that are reasonably priced. You don't get what you pay for. So it was $68 for 2 covers and 2 drinks and my experience was less than stellar to say the least. If you want to charge these prices, then step up your game. Stock your bar, hire knowledgeable bartenders, and elevate the overall aesthetics in the place. This is South Beloit not Vegas!

Even though my father is african American and my mother is Hispanic, I'm not welcome. Having a private conversation with my best friend had the bartender questioning my ability to conduct myself. I know my limit in drinking and I would never disrespect anyone's establishment. I was told I could not order another drink because the bartender was listening to my conversation. Now, I am a black woman but looking at me u may think I'm Caucasian. That was there may concern. I can't help but ask myself if I would have been treated the same way if I had dark skin and was clearly identified as an African american woman. Take me back to the old clancys where my conversation with my party has no effect on who I am as a grown woman. Never ever ever has Clancy himself or his staff made me feel this uncomfortable. Leave it to new owners to drag this business through the mud. I will not be back nor will I refer anyone to this establishment. Clancy.... buy it back!
