22 Best Sports Bars near Alton

“Haven't been to Applebee's in a long time ,because, it sucked !
Given a gift card ,so why not.
Pleasantly surprised. Ordered the ribeye sandwich and it was cooked perfectly and very flavorful ! Very good service, so we're back !“

“Love it here! Let's go alton and angel is doing a great job!“

“It's super clean and nostalgic.
If you're looking for a fun outing or bowling or a place to meet up with some friends for some great Bar Style food selections....give this place a try.
If you're always looking for a great salad, look no more, fresh, and will not disappoint!“

“For a dive sports bar, The Franchise puts on a good feed. The offerings are your typical sports bar grub, but it's prepared a level above other sports bars.

My recent visit I enjoyed the Pork Loin Sandwich. It was a typical pork tenderloin sandwich, extending beyond the bun. The one here is served grilled, not fried like the majority of other restaurants. The seasoning and glaze were full of flavor. It surprised me with how juicy and tender it was. If you're a fan of Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches, this is a must try.

A previous visit I had one of the steak specials. I ordered the 16 oz Filet and giggled when it was served. I was given two 8 oz filets on my plate. I didn't care, it still was 16 oz. It actually worked out for me, I ate one and took the other home and had steak and eggs for breakfast the next day. For my two sides, I choose Baked Potato and Green Beans. Half of the potato went home and gave me American Fried Potatoes for breakfast.

They have a good variety of beers on draft, bottled and canned. In addition, they offer a full bar for adult beverages.

The service is hit or miss. It was obvious who was a regular by the attention and quality of service they received. They need to treat everyone the same, so the newer customers become repeat customers, too.“

“Grabbed some lunch today w my man daughter & best friend - amber was our waitress & was beyond amazing!! Literally deserves a raise. Drinks never went empty always was making sure we had what we need. My wings came out with bbq on them instead of on the side and she walked over quickly and told the food runner / other waitress that they were not right before they even got placed on the table! Will ask for her everytime we come in from now on!! ❤ We also ended up leaving my daughters favorite blues clues book behind that’s also a library book we’ve had to recheck out 85838 times that she ran outside to us as we was about to leave! 10000/10“

“Good food,good service, reasonable price.Best place to eat in Godfrey!“

“Went to watch Karaoke and sat at the bar. The bartenders were extremely busy but took great care of us. We had a party of 3 and ordered drinks and food. The food was excellent (pulled pork and two different wraps). The total price, including a $20 tip was $80. It definitely beats any fast food and most sit down restaurants. Will be going back.“

“This is our favorite place to go and we go a couple times a week. The service and food are awesome and everyone is friendly and attentive. They also have a nice patio area if you want to eat outside. Highly recommended and they also do rentals for events and parties!“

“You guys rock! Thank you for everything you all did for us on Saturday!!💜 You all went above and beyond 💜 Top notch ladies 💜“

“My new #1 bar in town. They stock my favorite N.A. Blue Moon beer and have a mushroom Swiss burger so good I feel homesick (mushroom Swiss is exclusive to Wednesday only, very fresh and amazing). Great kitchen, friendly people, cheap drinks, the perfect bar 🍻 cheers!“

“Fast service . Friendly staff. Good crowd, good food. Good drink selection . Pool table. Nice atmosphere. Cheap drinks and eats. Locally owned small business. Overall just a great small town river bar.“

“We had the best lunch at Laux Brickhouse today, Katlyn was our server!“

“Food is OMG the cook added his special touch. The seasoning he
Put on these fries was the best. Best fries I’ve ever had. It def has brown sugar and onion seasoning in it but what else ? Oh my lord. He was super polite - watch the office it’s about a bunch of Chicago cooks from all
Walks of life and about them becoming a fine dining restaurant from a Chicago street food restaurant.

The bartender Wendy was on her game great time and great music. Great people.“

“Great place!“

“We had a great time at their 10 yr anniversary! Caught up with a lot of old friends.“

“Tripe bits nd Cajun Buffalo wings 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I love the crowd and music but the customer service of the bartenders is straight trash. They literally partying with customers while others are waiting to be served. They must be related to the owners because they don’t mind huffing and puffing with nasty attitudes. Only complaint is get better bartenders with sales experience and customer service.“

All right, this was a tricky review for me. First, I've been searching for the best burger in St. Louis, and let's be clear, this ain't it.
The second thing, I'm a firm believer against getting burgers from restaurants, but that doesn't mean this burger isn't damn good.
The waitress all but pleaded with me to not bite the burger while the cheese was sizzling. But did I listen? Nah.
As soon as that burger hit the plate in front of me, I picked it up, took the biggest bite I could muster. Then dipped some of the fries into the sizzling cheese.
O.M.P.'s burger.
Absolutely a plus.

Verdicts: Love at 1st Bite or No Love???
O-M Cheese Burger - Love at 1st Bite!!!

“We had a very enjoyable meal with some friends. I tried the all you can eat shrimp/riblets/boneless wings & fries. I was very pleasantly surprised with the shrimp. The breading was light and none of it tasted greasy from being fried. The shrimp was very tasty. I also had the riblets with sweet Asian Zing sauce. Those were delicious. Very surprised at how tender and flavorful they were. Our server Alexis was very attentive & knowledgeable about the meals. We also met another server, Monica, who was very pleasant as well. The restaurant was not very busy this evening at 6 and the service was prompt and attentive. Thanks Applebee's.“
