“great 1930's vibe! The mango habanero mule! Perfect blend of refreshing, sweet, and heat. Yum!!“

“We were in town for the day and had heard so much about Stout’s-so we decided to stop in. Just WOW! It was amazing! The food, the service- everything! Wish I could bring this gem back to the Chicago area with me! Thank you for the best dining experience!“

“great people, great time, amazing place!“

“Yesterday, my husband and I tried El Toro in Clinton. I have long since just enjoyed Mexican for what it is usually is outside of the western states, Tex mex. I was raised by a nana who made a fresh pot of frijoles weekly, that she usually had me wash for her, and roasted her chiles on the comal for her salsa until the smoke cleared the room. Every time she’d see me “Queres comer mija?” and you never told nana no. I had beans & eggs with verde salsa and fresh tortillas with her countless times. I have never found anything similar to her beans in any state I’ve been to, until yesterday. The beans is always my test, that and the tamales. I judge tamales to be like my Tias, who would make them all day from scratch; the only reicipe I follow myself. Everything, minus the salsa, was perfect. The music had me genuinely dancing in my seat, the food made me want to order seconds, and to add a plus, Jesse found the queso he loves so much from his hometown. The service was great and personable, we had several fun conversations with the staff. I can’t recommend it enough and I look forward to returning. It felt a lot like home. Thank you from this second generation Mexican American family, you made our day.“

“Great service and great people!“

“Love the small town bar feel of the silver dollar. Hosted my birthday party here with kareoke & it was a blast.“

“I love this bar !!! ice cold beer !!!“

“Hadn't been to Legends in about 7 years, my boyfriend and I stopped in spontaneously while in Clinton from out of town, and I was happy to see they were still open. Friendly staff who kept up with a fairly full bar/pool hall, and the drinks were delicious, after we had a fair priced beer and a seltzer, we decided to stay, and I had a watermelon whiskey lemonade that tasted like a jolly rancher, we both tried the Moscow Mules, that were refreshing and tasty. For sure going to be one of our future outings. (Side note the food was super good. Crisp fries and as somone who doesnt care for seafood, the deep fried shrimp my boyfriend ordered tasted so good when he had me try one.) Generous servings also, he had eaten part of his food before these pictures were taken) :)

Kid-friendliness: Seen a man bring a little boy up to a shelf with plenty of different board games and other card/game options. we were there around 7:30 p.m.“

“Wanted a quick new place to eat. Found this hole in the wall. It was more then that! The food was great. The atmosphere was inviting and employees very pleasant. Got or food nice and hot. Service was exceptional. Will return again.

Parking: They have more then enough parking. With 2 entrances and exits.“

“This bar is a gem in the heart of the Midwest, conveniently located for both locals and visitors. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly, making it a great spot for a night out. The selection of drinks is impressive, and the food menu has some fantastic options. However, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that when I ordered a soda, the water had a slightly odd smell, which was a bit off-putting. Overall, it's a solid choice for a snack while passing thru the town, but they might want to check on that water issue.“
