Beloit, WI is a little town, 90 minutes from Chicago - O'Hare. There are less than 40,000 people…read moreand a river runs through the city. If you're ever in Beloit, be sure to visit 5BAR. 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.

This isn't necassarily bad if your down with swimming upstream in a whiskey river which the locals will gladly assist you with. This place is best reserved for a late night with a small group of friends. This bar is right next door to La Casa Grande which can be dangerous if you enjoy a delicous Tex-Mex style cuisine. Overall, this is a solid dive type bar with plenty of local charm. I would not plan a special trip to it, but it can be solid if your in a pinch.

Sometimes some pretty good small-time bands, rappers, and artists will pass through. They used to let me DJ off of my iPhone in exchange for free beer. I would also sit in back with my friends who worked there and eat up all the food. Great student-managed spot to get involved with if music is a part of your life in any capacity.

We spent several years in Corpus Christi, TX, and we both know that we got spoiled there when it comes to Mexican food. We've found good places since then, but Taqueria Azteca is in another category of good. The menu features breakfast and lunch items as well as dinner items. The house specialties are a little more expensive, as you would expect, but definitely worth the money you pay. The menu also includes a very good variety of items, from typical dishes like tacos and tostadas to somewhat harder to find dishes like bistec ranchero (Ranch-style beef) and pollo en mole (Chicken in mole sauce), to neat surprises, like BBQ ribs. They boast a good range of seafood; we didn't try those dishes. Two things I especially appreciated seeing available were a good offering of soups and tortas (Latin American sandwiches). They also offer a good range of Mexican soft drinks, including Mexican Coca Cola. The staff is bilingual; we had no problems ordering. Seating is a bit limited; 40 people would probably fill the place to capacity, but getting seated was not a problem when we had dinner there. If you are hungry for some really great Mexican food that would compare favorably to some of the best places in Texas (no mean feat!), Taqueria Azteca won't disappoint.

Terrible service, burnt food, bad attitude from the manager on duty, and a very long wait time.read more
