21 Best Bar & Grill near Bethalto

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

“Let me share the wonderful charm of this diner, G-B Grill in Alton, Illinois. It's not just a delightful blast from the past but a place with a unique history everyone should experience.

First, let's talk about the man behind the counter, Jimmy Angelo Boukas. At 84, he's a living testament to dedication and passion and a source of inspiration. He gets up early every day to cook and serve, and his commitment is truly awe-inspiring!

Secondly, the unique charm of this place makes me want to return. The owner does all the cooking from scratch. Yes indeed —pancakes, gravy, and biscuits are made with his hands. His uncle founded this diner in 1910, and he upheld the tradition of offering exceptional food and service! This extraordinary man served our country as a Green Beret during conflict, so he’s also a hero—another reason to support this business. This incredible individual has been married to his bride for over 60 years. He also constructed his impressive 2600-square-foot home entirely from the ground up, showcasing his exceptional building skills. Thus, he does it all!

The owner and his son, Angelo, are amazing people. G-B Grill is an extraordinary place with awesome food that takes you back to the good old days. As a final note, he even mistook me for my daughter's sister, so you can better believe I’ll be back again and again! ?“

“We had a party of 13 recently come in and had great service! The weather was great, the big window was open and a 2 man band playing! Our group had a great time!“

“Sage House is a “Top Shelf” stop. Threw a dart at the menu? You can’t go wrong. Why it’s only a 4.8 star rating is beyond me. Must do!“

“The classic rock band hat trick. always enjoys playing there on sundays ,when its fried chicken day“

“everything was regular everybody having fun... I only do 🎰🎰🎲🎲 the drinks was on point 👉🥃“

“amazing! what a great addition to the neighborhood“

“Always some very delicious food! The soups are amazing as well!“

“I don’t know what going on at the Pump house but things seem to be heading south. During the last several visits the service has not been good, especially if you’re not sitting at the bar. I’m sure they don’t have enough help like everywhere else. The steak I had this evening was luke warm at best. It looked like it had been setting on the counter at the grill for quite a while before it was brought out to our table. It’s probably time to start spending our money somewhere else.“

“Awesome crowd last night at Wiggler's Bar and Grill for our 1st time there! 😊🎶🤘 Special thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us! 🎶☮️ 🙏 This place is definitely a hidden gem with great food and atmosphere, and the staff and patrons are great! 👍💎 We have no further dates scheduled here but hope to return soon! 😉“

“This is a perfect good ol'tavern. Exactly what I like if I go to have a drink. Bartender s are great, atmosphere is fun and friendly, it's a cheers for the motorcycle club and friends. Always a good time. Sam and Woody are not serving you it Missy, Michelle, or as they call Cheyenne " the new girl" you can't go wrong with any of the three. And if you are lucky enough to run into Elliot or some other regular faces, you have a great day ahead!“

“The cook, Lou, amazing job!“

“we loved their food, you get a decent amount too for such a great price. we came for first time today to eat with our 3 young boys. we will be back again in future. (we live about a half hour away)“

“Chubby's grill and garage is a wonderful place to grab a big juicy burger, fries, and appetizers. Great food specials weekly, as well as drink specials. It is family friendly. The staff are all super friendly people. The owner is a stand up guy, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and he treats his employees with love and respect like any great owner would. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to ANYONE looking to have some great food, drinks, and fun. The hours are 11am to 11pm, kitchen is 11am to 10pm. this place is an absolute gem 💎.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sonny's Main Street bar and grill and had a fantastic experience. The highlight of my evening was the live performance by Gordo Jason Gordo, a talented one-man band. His music was captivating and added a great vibe to the atmosphere.One of the standout features of Sonny's is their newly built outside patio. It provided a wonderful setting to enjoy the evening, and the ambiance was just perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, thanks to the great atmosphere they have created.Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and I must say it was second to none. The flavors were rich, and the sandwich was perfectly cooked. It exceeded my expectations and left me craving for more. My girlfriend opted for the taco salad, and she was equally impressed. The salad was fresh and delicious, a true delight for her taste buds.I would also like to commend the staff at Sonny's for their exceptional service. They were not only attentive but also went the extra mile to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. Their friendliness and professionalism added to the overall positive experience.Cleanliness is always an important factor for me when visiting a restaurant, and Sonny's did not disappoint. Everything was spotless, from the dining area to the restrooms. It was evident that they take pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.Overall, my visit to Sonny's Main Street bar and grill was a memorable one. The combination of great live music, a fantastic outdoor patio, delicious food, friendly staff, and cleanliness made it a top-notch experience. I will definitely be returning to Sonny's in the future, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining and entertainment spot.“

“The food is always good, the menu has a wide variety to choose from, and the staff is friendly. This is one of the only American Legions that has a golf course and is open to the public. They are also able to host fairly large meetings in their meeting room. This American Legion also has an adult gaming room. We enjoy our American Legion Post 199 very much, and recommend it for dining, golfing, having a meeting, or just enjoying a cocktail at the bar.“

“The atmosphere was accommodating to each individual preference...one side quiet and open with slot machines, while the other side was poppin'. They offered karaoke and the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves quite well. The bartender Scott was on point and very polite. All in all good place to go to with friends or a significant other!“

“Hello I need to know as soon as possible who came up with pairing the au ju juice with the philly cheese steak?? Because that was the best philly I've ever had and now I can't have it any other way. Food was top tier. Fresh hot and directions followed. Bread was buttery crisp on the edges and soft. Onions and peppers sautéed perfectly and meat and juice delicious. Whoever is the cook here, please give him a raise for the 4th. He deserves it.“

“Wonderful service , food and environment! Highly recommend“

“Had the best experience with a great bartender Chelsey!!“
