We came in this afternoon as a large group of 11. We were seated and given menus, but waited for…read more15 minutes with no one even acknowledging us or taking our drink order. There was a bartender and a waitress working, along with two customers at the bar who were there together. Besides those people, our group were the only customers there. The bartender and the waitress only focused on those two people at the bar and were doing shots with them. We were definitely made to feel like we were an intrusion and not welcomed. It was a very uncomfortable, awkward situation. With that being said, we all got up and left and went down the street to the Rockton Inn, where we were seated and taken care of right away. This could have been a "one off" situation, but if this is how they run their establishment, I would not recommend going here.

They were not terribly busy when we stopped in so I snapped some pictures of the place. It was…read moreplenty quiet, minus the TVs and slot machines. The bartender was extremely nice and we wanted to stop in and grab some burgers. We travel through this area on our way to and from Galena, and we just wanted to grab a bite on the way home. We came on a good day since it was BOGO burgers! Grabbed the french onion dip and chips and found that to be really delicious - also got wings and they were nice and crispy with the right amount of sauce on them. Seems like it would be a nice place to stop when they have other events going on as well. I've read older reviews, but they are plenty old. We had a very positive experience and I'd stop back for more food and drinks. Everything was really tasty, affordable, and we had a great time hanging out there.

The food was burnt they did not bring all the food that was ordered but yet charged for it.

That's it folks I am not sure why we even went back there. Just awful the last 3 times we tried this place.

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.

Service was slightly slow, but they had live music and explained that to us right at the beginning that things might take a bit longer. Definitely stop in! They open the garage doors on nice days to hang out on the patio. My only suggestion for the out door lighting is to be able to turn on the sting lights without the super bright flood lights that are out there too. It made it WAY too bright in the evening.

It looks like the Chef really enjoys, putting together the meals. We have gone to the Thursday night Date Night for their specials and they're always delicious! The night hours are kind of early for a pub, but I would definitely go for the food and the atmosphere. We enjoy the live music and the older crowd there. If you're looking for a nice evening out at a locally owned and operated restaurant/bar, this is the place.

We attended there because a friend invited my kids to join them,…read moreFirst, it would have been nice to know that you DO NOT need to purchase bounce house tickets for kids not wanting to bounce. They only have something like 3 bounce houses. $36 for 2 kids, and one not to jump was pricey. It is $18 per person (4 and older) on the weekends, cheaper if you go on a weekday. The Arcade... So, apparently, a good deal, 100 tokens for $20. So, we split the tokens 50/50. I was shocked when my child was frustrated because a ticket based arcade did not work, and we realized it required 4 tokens! The number of machines that required 4 tokens seemed to be in the majority. Most places we have been to, the higher token machines were typically the race car driving machines, where machines that give tickets typically range in the 1-2 token family group. Now, I saw that someone mentioned that the arcade accepted 1-4 tokens, I did not find (on 4/25/2025 any that accepted only 1 token. Not saying that they were not there... I just did not find them. I did find a few that accepted 2 tokens or 3 tokens though. They do have some sort of bowling game that required 8 tokens in the back corner. While we were there yesterday, on a Saturday afternoon, it was really quite empty, we did not see anyone working the concession area at all. Thankfully, we brought water bottles. While there I did see a frustrated parent who paid $14 (children 3 and under rate), because the bounce houses were geared toward that age group. Overall - over priced.

This was completely unexpected. You would never guess there was an arcade in what is practically…read morean industrial park. First arcade I've ever seen with a bouncy house Pros: +Solid selection of games including ticket games +Good facilities for birthday parties +Staff was pretty attentive +Good restrooom facilities. Hey... thats important for a place like this. Cons: -Not the most expensive arcade I've been to, but its still a money suck -Area can be a little tight for manuevering Bottom Line: A lot of the 5 stars are warranted. I admit I'm a bit of a snob when it coems to arcades. Not the best I've been to, but very solid. Glad this place is in the community.
