“An excellent place for a few high end drinks. Excellent liquor selection with a few beers, so something for everyone. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and are will to be creative should you see a spirit you like on the shelf that isn't on the menu.“

“Well this is a surprise: I had the best buffalo chicken wrap of my life. Fresh, crisp lettuce, perfectly sauced chicken, the right amount of shredded cheddar cheese, and I exchanged ranch for Bleu cheese dressing, which was on the side. If unwrapping it wouldn't have been unseemly, I'd have shown you inside. I opted for sweet potato fries, but took most of them home because I enjoyed the wrap so much! My other party had the whisky burger and regular fries, and he was happy too. Our server was attentive and quite friendly, and that's awesome because she had the bar and other tables to help. I've been to Whiskey River before, but this visit was a standout. Thank you for making my day!“

“I need a ride now I want to go there now and I am NOT driveing“

“Food was excellent! Waitress needed to be more attentive. We ordered appetizers and she brought 4 plates—there were 5 of us. Asked twice for another plate. Two in our group ordered burgers. Asked for ketchup when food came. She brought it after the burgers were eaten. Guess she wasn’t focused on serving!“

“Very friendly for 1st timers traveling through! Couldn’t be nicer! It’s like going back to an old time bar- not modern just clean , nest & well preserved! We enjoyed watching the Cubs game, cheap drinks !“

“So let's talk about what makes a place a local gem. An atmosphere that is obviously well thought out and committed to. Staff that are attentive to guests needs as well as sociable. Food and drink that can't be found elsewhere?

Cafe Beaudelaire has all these in spades. With an atmosphere that keeps me coming back as a regular for food, drink, and company.“

“Best bartenders in town, awesome service and a fun upbeat environment to spend your nights at!!“
