The best bar in Champaign by far. They have fantastic food, great drink deals (Ex. free logo glass with purchase of a beer on Wednesdays), and spectacular service. The bartenders are quick, friendly, and creative. Every time I go I have an amazing experience. Pictured are the Irish nachos and electric lemonade

Hadn’t been there since 1990, so there were some changes. But, I had a great time. The dirty curds were good. I would definitely go back.

This place is a campus favorite. Relatively more frequented by grad students, this is where a lot of plans start. Thursday specials are wonderful and the food (burgers) not too bad (I once tried the Irish nachos and it was lit).

First time here on our visit to the University of Illinois. Located right off the Quad on Green street. Nice bar inside with excellent food. Their Reuben sandwich was excellent along with great onion rings. Waffle fries were excellent, as well. They also have pool tables downstairs. Very enjoyable experience. Enjoy!

Great atmosphere - homey during the day and a good time at night for a beer with friends. Food is good and the irish nachos are always what my friends and I get to split with our pitchers. Friendly staff and great locations if you want to check out other things on Green St. before or after.

I eat here sometimes but the bartender (I think his number was #9) was fantastic! I always eat here on Mondays for half price burgs but Etzon blew me away with his customer service! Pretty fire almost better than the tattoo lady at legends.
