Here are my highlights: 1) They have a new TouchTunes juke box with an amazing sound system. If you love great music this is your place. The PhotoBooth and Karaoke feature was a blast. 2) They also have two new pool tables and new dart machines. I'm not much of a player but I believe they run leagues. 3) On a scale of 1-5, the beer garden and outside bar is a 4.8. Really fun out door seating around the bar or to watch live shows on the outside stage. They also have a dance floor inside. 4) The food was good. It's definitely above average for a Sports Bar. 5) They also have Las Vegas Style slots and poker machines coming in a few weeks. It was a really fun high energy night. I can't wait to go back.

Despite IL having passed an anti-smoking in public accommodations law in 2008 - in 2015 almost every patron was smoking and the waitress (who didn't believe my 24 year old brother was of age) seemed to be drunkenly oblivious as she danced to some Michael Jackson (at least I liked the song)

Oh boy, where to start. I guess I'll begin with the positive things about this place; the…read morebartenders/servers (they're the same people) are friendly...and that's pretty much it. There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.

They said the food was pretty good and they had been in several times. I've been back a couple times for drinks. Every time the staff has been receptive and the drinks are on the cheaper side.

My understanding is in this county if u want beer wine or liquor you have to come to one of these spots or a bar. Difference with this spot is that its a bar too so u can get ur beer wine liquor for here or to go. No problem getting a single or 2 from a 6 pack. What?! $3 for good ipa? What?!. Hotel gave a token. First beer on them. Yes! Forgot very quickly about that 13 hour drive fatigue. Almost.. Friendly bartenders. They got slot machines to gamble on, pool tables to play on and friendly local folks to chop it up with. Cheap drinks are a plus and decent DJ on Saturday night. Minus 1 star because as the other reviewer said the wine looks like its been there a long time lol. A very long time. Come get a couple beers if you stop thru Marion, IL. They will treat you good

I'm reviewing the one in Marion for the first time, although I've ordered (delivery) from it on numerous occasions. For a change, I decided to try their All American cheeseburger. It comes standard with TWO smashed burgers. I took off the lettuce/tomatoes and added bacon. I gotta tell you: this cheeseburger surprised me, not only with the huge size, but the flavor. It really tasted good. Cooked perfectly, well seasoned, bacon was thick. In other words, this burger rocks! My only (minor) complaint would be the minced grilled onions, which kept falling off the burger, when I took a bite. A little annoying, to say the least. (Sorry.) I would suggest cutting them into slices, then grilling them; they would stay firmly on it. The bun holds up well, not disintegrating in your hands, as you are eating the burger. (I hate when that happens!) I also got a regular salad; pretty big for a side. NOTICE: BWW cheeseburger is now my favorite in Marion. A tad pricey, but well worth the money. No shrink-flation here! Do yourself a favor: ORDER ONE. You will not be disappointed. Very recommended for anyone loving their burgers.
