So I have not been to thos bar in years just because my friends didn't hang out there. It was the…read morefirst stop on the leprechaun leap and I was with a friend so I was in a good mood. Wow! I think the bartender's name was Greg? Or Craig. He saw me sitting there because he looked at me several times and looked at my paper to sign saying I had been there. He literally purposely ignored me. Another person who I believe was a regular asked if he could get me a drink, and he was rude to her. He said with an attitude "yeah in a minute". Really? Okay so he came and asked what I wanted. I ordered a midori sour. I watched him make it. This asshole purposely screwed it up. He filled it mostly with sweet and sour and not even a half ounce of oj. It's supposed to be an ounce of midori or (however much you need for a larger cup), half oj and half sweet and sour. Make sure it is well balanced. I'm sure he was pissed to wait on me and make me drink with the bad attitude he gave me. Then I gave him money for the cost I have spent at other bars for this drink and he said that's not enough. Comes back and says it's $6.75. What?! This is not a top shelf long island! So I gave him the money and took the change. If you want to act like I'm an inconvenience to wait on then it's going to be an inconvenience to tip you. When was such a asshole to me and the other lady I will never be back. If it's on my next bar crawl I will skip it. I'm not going to get treated so poorly by them. The lady was nice, but was very busy. I also suggest having bartenders who are actually quick for these events. There are buses full of people. Snap snap Greg...

Not at all what I was expecting in small town Rochelle! Service was friendly and the cocktails that I tried were tasty. They also sell bottles of their spirits to go. The only downside is their limited hours. Be sure to check their website and Facebook page for updates. I would definitely return if I was driving through the area.

We stopped in on a Saturday since we had a Groupon tasting coupon. We did a tasting of their Vodka,Gin,Agave and Whiskey. The Vodka was very smooth as well was the Gin. The botanicals used in their Gin made it delicious. I'm not a fan of Gin but I liked this one so much I purchased a bottle to go. I didn't try their Agave but my wife loved it with a lime wedge. I have had their Whiskey before and it is very good..95 proof. They will release their first Bourbon in November.I can't wait to try it. They offer a nice selection of crafted cocktails but not food options. Their is a nice Bistro tho across the street. From a local farm,this family has turned their corn and wheat into fantastic spirits. Definitely a place to visit.

I can guarantee I would have been miserable at this bar without an indoor smoking ban, but with a ban, the place was very enjoyable. Inexpensive drinks, bunch of locals, and a jukebox playing classic rock. I enjoyed my trip much more since my mom was buying and I saw some people I had known from childhood. Good times to be had by all.

If you want to have a drink in…read morea place and you're very particular about the cleanliness of your surroundings than you might give this a 1 star review. I'm not saying it is a dirty place, but it certainly appears that way. The ceiling tiles I suspect were installed sometime in the '80s as it looks a little bit newer than the dark wood paneling on the walls, both of which showcase an authentic patina and give you that "If I sit anywhere I'm probably going to stick to it." feeling. The men's room is the second cleanest place you can be, that is until a few locals get well lubricated and ignore common bathroom etiquette and from what it looked like, several blind men operating fire hoses had ventured in the men's room before me. The women's room was much nicer...it's as if there is an unspoken ban on blind men with firehoses in their bathroom. It was a lively place on a Wednesday night with the hardworking folks packing the place with laughs, darts and familiar vulgarities being shared amongst the patrons. Having not stayed long enough to know it may be unfair to call it a sausage fest, who knows, an entire squad of women looking for middle to upper middle aged out of shape drunk men could have showed up just after I left.... The beer was cold and when I got my check I had to ask the bartender if it was correct, several pints had been poured between two people and the tab barely nosed over $13. So there's apparently a pretty sweet draft special being offered on Wednesday!!! The service was especially efficient. So efficient in fact, that at one point I witnessed a patron walk behind the bar to fill up a pitcher for someone else. So if the bartender is getting behind, no worries, your fellow man has your back! There is also an odd array of dollar bills crudely stuck together in a collage of green bills and black marker scribbled names affixed behind the bar. I quite literally have no clue what That is about but next time I come in I may just have to pay the dollar to have my name permanently added to this oddity of a landmark. On your way out don't forget to grab some package from the LIQUOR STORE THAT IS HOOKED DIRECTLY TO THE BAR!!! The only thing that could make this place better is if they had a drive through window! Is this place for everybody? Likely not, but if you want a place to go to hang your hat and chat with some friendly fun loving folks, this is the place for you!

After my race, I figured I'd finally get a drink, but wanted to try something new. I wouldn't mind…read morestaying here longer and trying more things, but alot of the parking spots say 2 hour limit and I saw a few patrols. To make the most of my time, I ordered a flight (Cider, Root Beer, Light and IPA). The Cider tasted just like the name suggested, IPA is my fave type of drink and Light helped prevent me from going to crazy. I had high expectations from the Rootbeer Float one, but didn't expect it to be one of those dark, tobacco tasting beers (didn't finish). For my meal, I got a burger with all the works and chips. It will do, the only note is the mustard packets must be very old because it was hardened and wouldn't squeeze out. Oh, for the flights, pay attention to your cups, one of them chipped away and could've easily been swallowed. Wasn't too chatty after the race, but the one guy working was cool!

Have been here for lunch several times over the past 2 years and it seems to be going downhill…read more Arrived for lunch on a Sunday and the server presented us with menus while telling us all the things that were unavailable...about 5-6 items on a very limited menu. I ordered a mini flatbread which tasted fine, although lacking in sauce, but my husband ordered from their specials "sloppy Joe Mac". It arrived in a plastic bowl with a plastic fork and was PLAIN macaroni noodles with a dollop of sloppy Joe and some shredded cheese on top. Very underwhelming for $10. They also have permanently removed the giant pretzel from the appetizers, which was always one of our favorites. Not sure if we will be returning. Their priority seems to be the beer and cocktails.

Sure enough, it was hot and ready when we arrived. We also picked up a few premade items. The pizza was good, but being gas station pizza it has a ceiling. It was as good as we expected it to be. The premade items (slice of cheese pizza and premade King's Hawaiian BBQ Brisket Sliders) were good as wel. Great stop on a road trip when you need to get gas, use the (clean) bathroom, and grab some food to go along I-88 as long as you don't expect anything beyond gas station standards. Lastly, everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful.
