  The food is MUCH better since the new owners took over but I'd recommend sticking to their specials. While most of the menu is good- they still have some grubby bar food on there. Their pizzas are good and so are the salads... My favorite item is the Ruben Rolls (ask for both thousand island and stone mustard and mix the two together to dip them in).
  
  Decent beer selection and prices... Not a bad choice for a pit stop!

  This place has gone down hill. The waitress took forever to take our order. Then took our drink orders and got my drink wrong. Then took  forever to get our food order taken. We got our food and my burger had a hair in my burger. My boyfriend's Reuben had a hair as well. My son ordered a pizza and he told the waitress exactly what he wanted. His pizza had mushrooms on it and he didn't order it with mushrooms.

  Ahhh - Cherry Street!  The place where so many fuzzy memories have been made, both during college and over various homecoming weekends.  This has been the place to go for decades now.  This place has passed through numerous hands over the years and still remains largely the same...and that's a good thing!  
  
  The drinks are reasonably priced by Galesburg standards which makes them downright cheap if you're used to the cost of going out in any real city.  I was drinking 12-year old single malt scotch and paying $4 a drink for a generous pour.  The wife was getting Tanquery and tonic at the same cost.  This is a place where the $20s really go a long way.
  
  They serve food too.  I don't think I've ordered any of it this century but I remember it being pretty good.

  Typical shady spot with end of the night crowd and the usual suspects. The police showed up at some point, maybe to try and catch one of the usual drug deals that go on or to clear out the crowds when a fight broke out on the dance floor. Drinks are typical and music is loud. It's the usually place for closing out the night.
  It's hard to get a cab so call one and arrange a pick up spot so no one snags it.

  Old school bar that still has the same feel from the 70's.  Nice owner and great staff. Went here in HS, cool to see it still open. Recommend if you are in the Burg or back for a visit
