Best music venue in Carbondale. Hangar 9 has been a long time favorite for both students and…read morelocals. It has a lot more than just music. Good cheap drinks at the bar. The place has a long history in town. A lot of fun has gone on here. It's one of the few good places in town to see live music. This kind of looks like an airplane hangar from the outside. Inside it looks more like a dive bar. Lots of room in here though. Good place even when there's not music, because you can drink at the bar. It's about $4 for the cheapest cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. Good specials on pints and buckets. There's no food but you can bring in stuff. Have to make an update about this business. It has closed. This is sad for the community, it's a place with lots of history, so you'll have to go to some other bar or wherever.

This is normally my go-to bar, but Paige the bartender completely ruined my experience on Saturday…read morenight by being blatantly rude to us. This has happened on multiple occasions- we (two girls) were standing at the bar for at least a few minutes, while she did nothing accept for standing by her monitor and passively aggressively WAVING at us. So, TAUNTING us, basically. It wasn't until the other bartender (Haley I believe) came over and helped us out, and Paige IMMEDIATELY flocked to the men who came up to the bar after us to serve them. I'm not sure if I'm missing a social cue here or something, but Haley already seemed like she was busy with enough customers. So not only were we IGNORED, but were quite literally bullied by one of the bartenders. Terrible service, and it sort of messed up our whole night.

For 7:30 pm on a Friday, that's not what I expected and I'd think not what most people in there would prefer. It's too bad, because the vibe could be perfect for a date night meal.

So not only is it a great place for food and drinks, but it's a great venue for live entertainment! Though it was chilly, I checked out the patio and would definitely want to come back in the warmer months. Their bourbon selection is stellar, with a range of price points. I had the cranberry turkey sandwich yesterday and am excited to try something different today. I didn't get the martini flight, but I loved seeing how visually appealing they were when others ordered them. This place is a must-visit!

We waited for a table for a bit and it was alright to wait because the band had started. We had an appetizer of fried pickles. They were delicious. I had the smash burger which was phenomenal.

It was a $100 night with drinks, food and tip. Reasonable priced food and (several) drinks

When there is a band (regularly ) get there early, before 8, to get a seat as there is only about 60 seats.

I was back to feel welcome right away.  They have a very large chalkboard with all the many local brews available. The only bad thing is they don't have food but they have no problem with you bringing food or ordering in. There is a courtyard park within a block  to  take a stroll through afterwards.

This place has undergone so many renovations and name changes over the years, but I think it's…read moreabout to take off. It's in a poor location, in the old part of town next to the high school. Parking can be a nuisance, but there is parking on the street, across the street in a lot as well as next to the building in another lot. The crowd here can be a little rough. I was outside waiting for a cab one night and someone approached me and said I was staring at him because he was hispanic. Then he pulled a knife out. I doubt this is typical, and the situation was rectified, but don't let your guard down here. The bar is a mixture of a pool hall, a dance club and a live music venue. In the first part of the place, there are pool tables, a long bar, seating and a dance floor. If you walk through that room and into the adjoined building, you'll notice they have built a room for concerts with a ton of seating and a bar inside there. So it's really two different bars in one. The bartenders are great, and the security staff is cool. It draws a mixture of crowds, and with MV being so limited in the nightlife, this place could be a real hit.

Went to this bar and ordered Ketel one and ice tea. The lady proceeds to tell me she only has…read moreTitos. About 3 minutes later I see Ketel one served. I ask for my drink to be corrected, and literally drank one drink out of it. "Oh she didn't know, she's new" was incredibly rude. It's my fault they served me the wrong vodka. Lisa asked me "what my fucking problem is, and what the fuck was I looking at?" Well considering there is no communication behind the bar, and someone directly next to me just got served Ketel One, and she's attacking me because "she didn't know", and just attended my 18 year old sisters funeral, not you. Has security take my full drink(and my only one)and walk me out of the bar. WOW. And Lisa is in customer service? I would like a refund.

A surprisingly good amount of stuff on the menu including plant based. This place may be a dive, but it's better than it looks. A lot of history in this bar. It's known for the cheap ass happy hours. There's also the cheap ass weekly specials. Be sure to check out the list in the bathroom. It's $2 for whiskey on Wednesdays. Among the many cheap drinks. Burgers are most popular among the food options. The food menu also has a lot for vegans. It's $6 for the Impossible Chicken. This comes on a bun topped with lettuce, onions, and pickles. Has to be one of the places you go to when visiting this college town to check out the local flavor. It's on Illinois Avenue at Walnut Street. There's lots to get for meat eaters such as burgers, and there's also healthier options, including many things for vegans and vegetarians.

We had the Long Island tea special. Online prices show $4, but in the bar the sign says $5.50. They need to update their website. The drinks were really good and the bartender made them from scratch. Not made from a mix that some other bars use. Served in a pretty good sized plastic glass. They do have food, but we didn't order anything.
