We were there on a night with a one-man band who was seriously impressive, and when he wasn't playing, the music on TouchTunes kept the vibe going perfectly.

Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back!

The surrounding area is rich with natural beauty, but sparse with dining options, and we were happy to find a breakfast spot after a frigid morning stroll at Chautauqua Nature Reserve. I ordered biscuits and gravy with two eggs. The biscuits were fresh, the gravy flavorful, and my eggs perfect overeasies. My wife ordered a skillet of some sort, and darling, as a lifelong rule, I hate onions, but this was the first time in my life I've ever actually enjoyed onions. I shit you not. What are they doing in there? We're a transgender couple and were a smidge concerned about our safety dining in a tiny town dive bar, but Hialeah Club could not have been lovelier. I should have known -- Illinois is a delight, and people here are delightful. Thank you for serving up good grub.

There were several cars parked in front (a good sign) so in we went! We were greeted by a very friendly man who seated us in a colorful booth. Fun!

We ordered the fried onions, which were thin and not the expected onion rings, however the fried green beans were the best! When ordering, it takes a little while to put in your order and they get the beer for you as you are ordering. We had a group of 5 and if you ordered your beer first, then you had to wait to order anything else. There was plenty of seating inside, but as it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside where they have a nice 3-4 table area for some people to lounge.

I think we've now experienced all the aspects of this fine establishment: the beer, the whiskey,…read morethe food, and the overnight accommodations! I highly recommend all of the above. We recently got a room at the Red Rooster; booking online was easy and prices were reasonable. We were in town on Christmas Day, so the bar (brewery, distillery, restaurant) was closed. We didn't see any staff; we had a key code for the building and for our room. Our room was upstairs, and a couple of staircases were available (I don't recall whether there's an elevator). Everything was clean and cozy. After going out for the night, we thought we'd enjoy the lounge area and game room, but the game room wasn't accessible (turns out it's part of the bar). The lounge space was available; there weren't a lot of lights on except for those on the Christmas tree and other decorations, which was just fine for sitting a bit. Checkout the next morning was easy, and we were cheerfully greeted by staff when we came down. About the bar: on more recent visit we stopped in for dinner. Patrons were enjoying the patio and bar space; an adjoining room, game room, and loft space were also available. We took barstools and received great service there. Restaurant: Order food with your server and you'll get a text when it's ready; pick up is at the window in the game room. The 1/4 pound burger seemed to be a bit less so; it was a thin "smashed" burger with cheddar and some really good sauce, on a bun that was unnecessarily coated in butter or oil. Side salad was fresh and crispy, and house-made ranch was exceptionally good. Fries are the coated-double-fried sort, and served plenty hot. Every dish we tried was tasty. Distillery: so far all that's ready to serve is "white whiskey" -- raw unaged spirits with quite a kick! We tried it on the rocks and it was as expected; I'll wait for some aging before I have it in a cocktail, but I love that the option's available! Brewery: The beer list was impressive -- although there may be a mistake, as the Chava Wheat was marked as "gluten sensitivity friendly" (I'm pretty sure wheat is pretty gluteny!) That one--Chava Wheat--is a blood orange wheat "with a hint of raspberry" and was easily my fave. They brew several lagers and IPAs, a stout, and seasonals. This is a great one-stop for a night out, a road trip stop, or a small-town getaway for city folks! To make a longer day of it, shop Main Street, take in a show at the theater, and grab breakfast at one of the nearby cafés the next morning. Cheers!

Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Tour Amazing Brewery Race Stop 1 of 2 for ILLINOIS…read more We drove about 1.5hrs to hit one of the two add-on breweries for Illinois in the Hop Passport. Due to the weird Illinois laws on alcohol, they offered 10% off foid/merch in the book. The staff was unfamiliar with the passport & called overall 2nd staff person. They said it wasn't valid -discount denied. We still opted to eat & drink here. Each of us selected a beer and a dish. I went with the rooster salad, which was an excellent flavor combination & I really needed something greens! The chicken on it, however, was dry and took away from the salad - so, I took it off & enjoyed my salad without the chicken. The hubs opted for the grown-up grilled cheese and it was pretty tasty. Exactly what it sounds like. As this location probably doesn't see much in the way of the Hop Passports, it's not too shocking that they weren't aware of it. The prices were plenty reasonable enough to not feel put out by it either. The entire place is quirky, with "Easter eggs" throughout, a fun / tasty menu & an overall good vibe. It's certainly a gorgeous stop.

It was pretty slow but the bar was clean and quiet and the bartender was friendly. The daily special was tenderloin/pork fritters or tacos. I opted for the fritters and homemade chips. It came with a 'special sauce' that made it even better but it was perfectly fine without it. The cook came out later and chatted. Nice folks. Would definitely recommend trying at least the fritters, they were pretty good, but I'll definitely go back and try some other things on the menu.

Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.
