Local watering hole with surprisingly good food. There was an hour wait at courier, so with time left on the meter and empty stomachs we walked around dt urbana looking for another place to eat. A stranger recommended bunnys and so we gave it a shot. Really great fried pork sandwich. Awesome southern style chicken sandwiches. Super fresh seasoned fries. One of the better sides of potato salad ive had. Cold cheap beer. Really can't complain. This seems to be where the locals go for affordable, quality drinks and eats. Oh and they have crystal hot sauce, which i haven't seen this far north before read more

Normally I'm not into townie bars or shot-and-a-beer bars or whatever. And this place wouldn't be my first local choice either except they're the only place in town, or anywhere for that matter, that will humor my cricket fetish by letting me stream matches from my Willow app onto their Chromecast-equipped TV. In fact they've been much more accommodating than Chicago's famed "we show all international sports" Globe Pub (by which they really mean "we show the same American sports as any other sports bar, plus soccer") a couple miles from my home. I wish I could watch cricket matches at more craft-beer-oriented places like Pour Brothers or Crane Alley or Jupiter's while in town. But I have asked, and they have been not very receptive. The folks at Bunny's on the other hand have not only been receptive but incredibly gracious. The entire staff from top management down to the bar backs have been absolutely delightful. I won't lie, the beer snob in me really wishes they had more than a half-dozen or so quality beers to choose from. But when I want to watch a cricket match and my mother-in-law is not willing to relinquish her television, I will gladly head to Bunny's and work with what they have on offer. In fact, I'm sure I'll keep coming even after the Cricket World Cup is over. read more

Back again,, wife loves their Sunday special- chicken livers,, and I love their tenderloin it's excellent. Good food, great Riggs beer, great service. Mmmm good. read more

I can't believe that I have lived here all of my life and I have just recently gone here to eat. It's a bar with bar food but on a somewhat better scale. I had the fish sandwich which is about the same as any other fish sandwich. I was not blown away by it by any means. But I was however blown away by their chili!!! I have never had chili that I can honestly say is as good if not better than mine. Since I have only been here twice I am not sure if it was better than usual for some reason but I can say it was pretty darn good chili! The chips they serve with the fish sandwich are bland and tasteless. The cole slaw has horseradish in it. Some people in my group loved it while others did not. Me included. Someone tried the shark and they thought it was good. I don't think I would go out of my way to eat here but with a group and the boss paying then heck yes I would go back. read more

We come here on occasion anytime we're in the mood for cheap food and drinks. I always recommend it when people complain that Urbana restaurants are expensive. Bunny's is super cheap and always has great specials. The past two weekends, they've even had live entertainment! While the food is just typical bar food and they stop serving most of the menu rather early, it's nice to know that it's available. Their beer selection isn't great. They have six taps, and 5 have some variety of mass produced light lager with one serving guinness. They do have more variety in bottles. The past couple of weekends, they've had fat tire and sierra nevada pale ale in bottles but that's probably going to be the most variety you'll find there. read more

I eat lunch at Bunny's at least once a week. Bunny's has the best burgers in Champaign County without a doubt. The one I get is called the Broadway Burger, double meat, and all I have to say is "Swiss", "Cheddar", or "American". It comes with a bag of chips so if you want fries you have to order them but this burger doesn't need fries, Load up the burger at the condiment rack with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, whatever, and you have the best burger around. I know, I've eaten a burger at just about every place in all of Champaign County, and this is the best. read more

I called to oplace and order. They hung up on me I called back I received a notice that the call could not be completed because they were busy. Well no kidding. It's almost 4 PM. Evidentaly they don't need the business. I'll call some other place that wants to do business. read more

I love going here for itallian beefs they have great ones I get them and to go when I was in school they always make it the way I like it with sweet peppers double dip and cheese. read more

Looking for a fun hole in the wall dive bar in Urbana? Who isn't, right? Well this is your place. Come here to see some of the older populations obsess over the slot machines here because I guess it is legal to have slot machines! Some of these people literally sat there for over an hour straight since that's how long we were there and they were there until even after we left! Just sitting in those chairs, pulling the lever, over and over and over again...Quite the people watching place if you ask me which I love. The drinks are cheap here, they have a big outdoor patio and BBQ they use in the warmer months which seems fun, and it is definitely a laid back atmosphere where clearly no one really cares about anything. A mix of different types of people, and granted we were there on a weekday night on one of the coldest nights of winter, and this place still had people in it, so that should say something about this charm of a dive bar for sure! read more

Very rude night staff. I had a very unpleasant evening here last Friday night. Over-served kids running loose and causing trouble. A very uncool place to hang out with friends. read more

This place has the best French fries in town. Forget that. The food is even better!! The blackened salmon is to die for! The service is excellent. Eat here if you are wanting something new. read more

A decent spot in downtown Urbana. Old tables, low and high tops scattered around. A bar filled with locals and a beer garden that will have some cover bands every once in a while. The bar is nothing special, just the regular stuff you would expect from a dive. Lots of sandwiches on the menu that are good, not great. Pork tenderloin, Italian Beef, a burger, and a steak sandwich. There are also daily specials, like a shark or walleye sandwich on Fridays that might be the most interesting fish sandwich in Chambana. The place will get packed for lunch, but the service is on top of everything. Always an enjoyable spot when I meet my Aunt here for lunch. Though nothing to go out of your way for. read more

bunny's tavern is open 365 days a year, and they mean it. i love bunny's tavern. it is the place to bring your friends, family, significant others, and coworkers. bunny's tavern is the restaurant of the century, this is will go down as the best restaurant ever. also the french toast slaps read more

Love this place! Great pizza & cheap PBR on tap. Ladies room is always clean and nicely kept. We are here regularly & always have great service. read more

Fantastic prime rib sandwich. Service was outstanding, Highly recommended.

Excellent service. 8 of us ate there a everybody's food was excellent. Nice selection of beers. Outside seating with tent setup.

I just came in for a package of beer because I work nearby. The lady kept arguing with me about weather or not I wanted to by it and how close save-a-lot was. I didn't want to walk there because I was at work, and it's a short trip over to Bunny's, but I also didn't feel the need to continue to explain why I wanted it. I ended up leaving without any beer at all. Bunny's used to be a semi-regular stop for me, and I probably won't be going back now. read more

I've always had great service and tasty food at Bunny's. If you can, the Blackened Salmon is delicious.

Very good chili cheese dog, especially the chili. Service was ok, for a Saturday afternoon. I will come back and try some more. read more

Bunny's Tavern - Dive Bars Near Me - Urbana, Illinois

Poor to fair food. Poor to fair service. Server didn't wear a mask and was right in my face. Have some courtesy and know your audience and CDC guidelines. read more

A good dive bar in Urbana. The place has a homey feel and overall positive feel with great low prices for quality bar food. There is ample unique seating and again this is a cool bar that I was able to check its digs and searched out. It is well worth your time to relax and drink when near by. read more

Great staff and service. Food is good but hot dogs are large. Large enough to split with two. Very unique style of hot dogs. Buffalo chicken chowder is amazing. read more

Bunny's Tavern is a local legend in C/U. Very much a "townie" bar. Friendly atmosphere. Decent beer selection. Great food! It's a great place to go get some drinks and food. They have a good menu selection, and whatever you order will be good. Also have a nice beer garden/smoking area, that is heated in the winter. Check it out. read more

If you look at my reviews, you'll see that I hold a special place in my heart for dive bars. And, actually, Bunny's is really nice and clean for a dive bar. They have specials for food every day. While it's standard bar food, there are the delicious Bosco sticks--warm breadsticks filled with hot melty cheese. The beer is cheap. Most of the fun, for me, is people watching. There are lots of locals, and they are all hilarious. My favorite experience was learning video poker from three kindly gentlemen. Plus, it's close to Black Dog. Perfect place to go after you're stuffed with barbecue. read more

Bunny's is a weekly spot for me for lunch. The lunch fare is very reasonably priced, the place is packed but quick, and the help is very friendly and accomodating. Their cheesburger might be the best in town, under 5 bucks and you can load it up with lettuce, tomato and the usual condiments, including a pickle slice. Hidden off of Main Street, it has a collection of regulars on the bar stools drinking beer, but I would not hesitate to bring a child or senior citizen in for a sandwich. One TV is likely to have a Cubs game playing and the other TV might have CNN. This is a hangout for courthouse employees and City of Urbana staff, as well as the crowd that works in downtown Urbana. read more

On a short trip to Urbana. Stopped to carry out food. The Fatty Melt was AWESOME. Thanks so much for being available during this crazy covid time!! 5?stars!! read more

Awesome steak sandwich....pork tenderloin is good too.....bosco sticks are a must get.....did I mention the beer is ice cold

I love this place. It's cozy, the food is cheap and tasty bar food. Perfect if you are craving cheap drinks and fried things.

Cheap drinks and great food! The bosco sticks are a must have! The bartenders are friendly and they remember your face.

Greasy bar food at it's finest. I was craving nachos. They didn't have them. It was a sad day, but I got another greasy meal in place of my much desired nachos. The food was fine, prices, were awesome, seating was scary. Asses to elbows. We couldn't move without accidentally feeling someone up or getting ourselves violated. Small price to pay for a quick lunch. read more

Bunny's is great. Cheap, quick food, I'm there anywhere from 3-5 times a week, always calling to find out the daily special and the soup of the day. I always get take-out (as I work less the 2 minutes walk away) and it's always ready within 5-8 minutes. Their homemade soups are always top notch. Their heated patio was key during the winter months, but now it's just great outdoor seating. The staff is all very friendly. Make sure to check it out, and get a bucket of beers! read more

Cheap drinks, a melting pot of patrons, and the best deep fryer in town -- what's not to like?

I had the Italian beef and fries it was awesome! Prices are great and portions are large. Great value!

Dive right in! It's my favorite dive in Urbana but since Gremer is gone it's not quite the same. Had to move westward to the other side of the tracks to see my favorite bartender. read more

This is a nice townie dive bar in the middle of Urbana, sort of hidden away. Lunch is cheap, beers are cheap, and the service is friendly. Great place to have a beer on a normal weeknight or early weekend evening. That said, don't bring a woman on a weekend night. Unless you want them to be disrespected, have their ass pinched, etc. The crowd here moves toward the sleezy side at some point on weekend nights. read more

Best Lunch in Town! The Walleye on Friday's is awesome. The historical photos on the walls are cool too. And of course, Guinness. What else do you need? read more

First i got some wings cause i am addicted to hot wings. They were not the very best i have had but they were good. The wings were nice and meaty with the right amount of sauce. My double bacon cheeseburger was very good but they were frozen patties just cooked on the grill. I got deep fried mushrooms instead of fries which were cooked very well but kind of small. The "bloody gary" was excellent but expensive for just one cause it had alot of ice in the glass. Its called a bloody gary because its garys recipe. The drink has beef broth in it which gives it a different taste. Overall i enjoyed the meal but kind of expensive. They need to clean up the outdoor eating area by remodeling some things but nice to have an area that big. read more

They have AMAZING burgers!! For a bar I'd say the food is a little more then average! However... The staff...sucks! So rude! Its a place they have a lot of regulars but when someone like myself walk in they act as if you don't exist! If you don't care about poor service this is the place for you! read more

Andy and Kayla did a really fantastic job when a large group of us from Defy Gravity - Pole Fitness and Aerial Arts Studio came in after a show. I'm sure it was tough to keep up but they were friendly and promt and never dropped theor excellent customer service as long as we were there! Thanks guys! We'll call ahead next time. read more
