“Excellent dive bar. I discovered, Town Club on Facebook and started following them. They really caught my attention by posting their daily food specials. Double Cheeseburger with Crinkle Fries and Bubba's Taco's were two that really tempted me for my first visit. I went for lunch with plans of ordering the daily special, Bubba's Tacos. However, once I got there, read the menu and chatted with the bartender, I ordered the G-Man. G-Man, is a 1/2 pound, hand breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. It was huge. I trimmed it down to just a little bit bigger than bun size, so I could pick it up to eat. The breading was a crisp thin coating, that had just the right amount of seasoning. It came with a side of crinkle fries, which are my favorite style of fries.I am a big fan of ketchup being served in little cups. For me it is more sanitary then having a bottle sitting on the bar or table. I requested just a smear of mayo on my sandwich. To make sure I had the right amount, the chef gave me a packet, so I had control. He even came to me and asked if it was enough, or if I needed another. Which I didn't, one was perfect. The customer service from the bartender and chef was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was a true old fashioned neighborhood dive bar. It was extremely clean and inviting. Now that I have experienced, Town Club it may become one of my go to spots for lunch.“

Firehouse Bar • $
314 State St, Alton

“I stopped in here for a day drink, and was surprised that an IPA was only $2! However, they only take cash, so be forewarned. It's a unique bar that used to be an old fire house of at least 100 years old. Very friendly folks and the bartender was very nice, she knew a little about the place too. I'd recommend stopping here for a watering hole.“

“The staff take care of their customers and I appreciate having a fun and safe spot to go alone or with my girlfriends. The staff watch out for their customers and service is great. You feel like a regular from the start. Prices are fair, folks are friendly, and it feels like you step back in time when you sit down at the bar. A real neighborhood tavern for everybody.“

“Fast Eddie's has been the same "place to go" for several decades. Everyone from a biker dude to a granny can be seen eating Fast Eddie's huge burgers. We were there at opening time on a Sunday morning, this time. At night, live bands make it a foot stomping time. Two thumbs up.Parking: Three enormous lots that i am aware of.“

Runway Lounge Bar • $
314 W Bethalto Dr, Bethalto - 7.55 miles

“We stopped by for a drink after dinner. First impression was an overwhelming smell of smoke. Apparently the room in the back is a smoking lounge and of course the smell leaks out into the main area. We got used to it pretty quickly. It's not nearly as bad as bars used to be. The bartender was great. Drinks were cheap and not too watered down like a lot of places. The music was at a comfortable level. We all enjoyed it and will stop by again if we are out that way.“
