We ordered cheeseburgers, onion rings and soup. Portions were generous. Had to ask for a take home box! The owner of the bar even came to our table to chat it up for a bit. He was so thankful we stopped. Definitely on the list for our next road trip.

Checked out this neighborhood bar in LaSalle for cheap drinks. It certainly is cheap and looks it…read more 9th Street Pub is one of those bars located close to houses so it gets lots of regulars. Gets most of its customers from around. They have some pretty typical bar food if you like fried things. Bar and grill, with most of the focus being on the beers and cocktails. It's just best to not take chances and play it safe. The bar looks pretty divy from the outside, and rest assured it's like that on the inside too. Amazing that it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. There must be noise complaints one can imagine about the crazy patrons. It's about $3 for the cheapest drinks. There's often specials including on beers and wells. Food menu has greasy favorites. It's about $8 for a burger or a sandwich. Loads of toppings. Big menu but most of it is meaty. There's a few things made with avocado and sprouts, but usually in combination with bacon or something. For sure it has a lot of choices if you're looking for typical bar food. It's located on the street it's named for obviously. They're even open for breakfast, so you can get your drinking on early, while getting eggs and whatever.

I am trying to eat a clean diet without gluten and there were several good choices here. I had the Broiled Whitefish Parmesan with steamed veggies and it was delicious!

The cocktails were good. Closer to urban prices. The potato skins were good with a nice crisp. You re r bread which was all good: sourdough, focaccia and crackers. The spinach salad was also delicious! The prime rib was excellent. You are able to get horseradish if you want. It comes with a side. We tried the garlic mashed and it was the only thing I didn't enjoy for the evening. We tried the walnut custard, was tasty. The chocolate peanut butter dessert was also good, but sweet!

They offer an array of handcrafted cocktails as well as tours and bottles for purchase. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky to meet Casey,an award winning distiller that gave us a brief history tour of the Westclox building,Peru and his background in the business. We visited on a Friday afternoon and it was not crowded so we had a nice conversation with the bartender ( sorry we don't have a name) as she made us some of the best cocktails we ever had. My wife had the Expresso Martini and I had an Old Fashion. Great flavor and reasonably priced. Check their website for hours and tour options. This is a real hidden gem and we can't wait to go back!

Servers that don't know what the special actually is. Lemon pesto basil. Unless stated otherwise pesto is made with basil. I went conservative and still came out wrong. Not chicken breast. I know the difference in proteins. Since when is boneless skinless chicken breast round. Cut into 3 progressively smaller round circles. All with thin layer of fat on a side. The menu icludes boneless butterfled pork chop sandwich. Pork loin. Round, thin layer of fat on only 1 side. Ding ding ding. We have a winner. I have been breaking down whole chickens since I was was 13. Chicken breast does not come round. Come on people. Mistakes are made. Admit it and move on. I will reluctantly go back. Not because of the mistake but the less than truthful answer when the error was brought to their attention. I have attached a photo chicken or pork loin. Me, hubs and sons say pork. Does not taste like chicken. Does not look like boneless skinless chicken breast. Does not gave the same texture of chicken breast.
