“ Great local bar with a Cheers feel. I was in Springfield on a work trip and wanted to do karaoke. This was the only place I found that offered it during the week - Tuesdays 7pm-11pm. Karaoke DJ Debbie was great! She was fun & energetic, and the local crowd was extremely welcoming. The bar was not smoky, which was great because I hate smoke. I would definitely visit again if I'm ever back in Springfield. ”

“ The owners and staff are amazing people. Sat around and talked to one of the owners and didn’t realize he was one of them. The other owner, answered two phone calls from me before I even arrived and was friendly and went above and beyond to help me find out if there was a song available for karaoke night. Awesome group of people all the way around! ”

“ My family moved from Illinois a life time ago. Was back for a moment recently. I know from the partys oscar threw together back in a time Before life got real and we were still pretzles. He was destined to have the best place around. Where ever he ended up. All that practice he put in paid off with a fantastic place to have a great time. He and the wonderful staff will make sure everybody is smiling. Good food, good music, good people, cheap drinks, great time, nothing else needed. ”
“ Seems like a very small bar but they have a really nice stage/outside area. Bartenders were fast and efficient and prices were reasonable. My 1 concern with the place is the parking lot outside in the back is pretty bad for potholes. If you have a low riding sports car it could mean some scrapping for you. Front parking is good though. ”
