21 Best Bar & Grill near Bethalto

“The food! You can't ask for a better steak meal. It does tend to get a little busy but those waitresses keep up without an issue. All the renovations the Ross and Dawn have done really are a breath of fresh air in the area. Anyone can catch just about any game while enjoying a cold beer, and a filling delicious meal in a wholesome family atmosphere that you might hope to expect from your hometown. The entire staff are rockstars and this is one to remember to watch out for!“

“Nice laid back spot with great food and wonderful customer service! Nice variety to choose from and even the location is great! I recently went and when I tasted their food! OMG AMAZING ANNNDDDD THEY HAVE BEER CHEESE! Brought back memories. Servers and Owner are happy to serve entertain etcThe energy and vibe was just 1000% …Music not too loud so you can still talk without yelling. The prices and food portions are really worth it. I will definitely be back.“

“My small group stopped by Sneaky's prior to a concert at the Wildey Theater across the street. Sneaky's exceeded our expectations by far. Our waitress recognized we were in a slight time crunch, so she had us in and out in under 30 minutes. We ordered a double burger and tots with queso to share around the table. That burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had! I'm a tough burger critic, but this burger was perfectly juicy, perfectly cooked, and the taste was god-tier. This will be the burger I compare all other burgers to. The tots are not to be forgotten! They were perfectly cooked, crispy outside and soft interior without the excess grease or taste of a fryer. Each one in our group made audible sounds when we ate our first tot and we kept going back for more! The Sneaky Sauce was delicious and very flavorful! I have a hard time thinking of something that wouldn't be good on. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Sneaky's and very much look forward to our next trip there! Until then, I'll be dreaming about how great they are!“

“A wonderful establishment! The new cook, Mark, is definitely on the ball. The food was cooked made to order, accurately dressed, quality and quantity was two thumbs up. The atmosphere is quietly pleasant yet enough pep to get the spirits going. It is a good place to gather with friends and family or just a quiet evening out solo or with a significant other. This establishment is kid friendly, but most adults choose family time here during the day or dinner. The evenings are most enjoyable being in a non discriminate establishment with a variety of positive kind folks. The staff are extremely catering to each individual wants and they are very patient, respectful, and kind. The staff practice universal precautions in sanitation throughout the hours of their shift. This is a family friendly, stranger friendly, everybody friendly environment. What tops this place off is the most affordable prices from the alcoholic beverages to the appetizers and main dishes. I highly recommend this particular social restaurant to frequent. This is a place of safety and will help contribute to a well balanced quality of life!“

“Friendly staff awesome freaking food if you want good good Cooked food ask for Christain or GannonParking: They have mainly just street parking bc of other businesses near by but if you want good food I suggest you stop by sage house and try them out you will glad you did“

“i've enjoyed many meals in this establishment, and I've never been disappointed and always highly pleased!! This particular trip was only with the intent of enjoying one of their Bloody Mary with a close friend. As usual, it's just the best thing ever ina bloody Mary! Condiments of dill pickle, a baby slim Jim, olives, green bean, lime and lemon as garnish completed the perfectly balanced drink! The service is phenomenal.... server Lauren is beautiful, clean and efficient moving quickly and fluidly. The ambience is better than just about everything in the area. The one thing that I question is the little bit of dirt and dust on the mirror lol .......it does add to the ambience, of a small town bar and grill!! overall it be hard-pressed to find a better place for a Bloody Mary and great food.!!“

“It's pretty cool for a dive bar.The people are friendly and down to earth.The owners seemed really cool.I went on a Thursday night and they had karaoke and it was fun.The drinks aren't over priced and the bartender was really nice.I would recommend this place to my friends.“

“Amazing peeps and amazing time!!Went on an Alton bar tour with my brother I’m from Saint Louis…. This was ur best time ever and this is the best bar I found in Alton!!! Chrissy is so sweet and made me feel at home!!! We be back! PS the pickle shots are on point!“

“We had a 5 star expense at Bluff City Grill. The food was excellent. We had 6 in our party and everyone thought what they ordered was very, very good. The salads were fresh and well prepared. Sandwiches were also great. Two of us got the wings and they were perfectly cooked, crispy and delicious. They have a large variety of sides including three different vegetables.The service was outstanding friendly and efficient. We can’t wait to go back.“

“To start riding around on my bike I decided to stop in for a beer. Very friendly staff and customers. Nice laid back place ? I did not check the menus. I am a vegetarian and you can't depend on every bar to have vegetarian food. For what it is, I enjoyed it!“

“Stopped in for a drink prior to motel check in. Great service and friendly patrons. Wish we new it was fried chicken night but we already had dinner plans. Chicken looked great. If our travels ever take us to Edwardsville again, we'll be back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I spontaneously stopped by with my kiddos and sister today and I'm so glad we did! What a great restaurant/bar with an extensive menu! They have a wonderful kids menu with a lot of pinball machines!! We had such a good time! Sometime I would like to come back and try the margarita flights and bloody Mary flights.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu available“

“Seemingly innocuous facade outside but once you walk into the unassuming front entrance it's a pleasant surprise. We didn't eat and it was our first experience. We stopped by out of curiousity and a night cap- coupled with a little slot action. The bartender was pretty great and the bar was clean, well lit & maintained. The mixed drink my partner got was affordable and the PBR was cold. Overall, I can't wait to support this unique, lo al, popular business in the future. Being a chef, I'm VERY curious about the food so we'll definitely be back for that!!!“

“My grandaughter and adult son had a great time, me too! Lots of working games and all free!! Hopefully, the others will be fixed in time. Our food was good, and the bartender was solo, so we had to wait 15 minutes for beverages thru no fault of his! Great winter day spot for family fun!Kid-friendliness: Lots of arcade games!“

“We have always been big fans of Big Daddy's from a food and atmosphere standpoint! Most recently, we had the opportunity to transform their outdoor patio space for a private party with a Wednesday Addams theme and it was a blast! There were so many opportunities for decor in their space. They were welcoming and accommodating for us as vendors as well. We have also personally hosted a birthday party here and had great food/service and ease of coordination!“

“While we didn't eat here, I could tell the food was probably amazing! The atmosphere was great and very fun. The bartenders were so much fun to talk to and definitely make some great drinks. Super reasonable prices. We will definitely be back!“

“Had a VERY large party here the other day, about 30 or more people. The food was very good and came out fast. We were greeted at the door by a manager and he was very polite! He also made sure to come by and check on us. The experience was made wonderful by our server McKenzie and the entire staff! As far as our server she was so happy and cheerful the entire time, always had a smile on her face and recommended so many amazing drinks to us! I can not say enough good things about her and the experience just through this review! Do yourself a favor if you are planning to stop by here or have a large group of people I can not recommend a better server than this sweet girl! Best Hotshots around!“

“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.“

“Planned to meet friends with under-age kids here on a Friday night after a high school football game. Late-night food options in Alton are sparse. Had eaten here in the past, but apparently this bar/restaurant recently changed ownership. The once loud dance crowd was absent and few cars occupied the parking lot. The menu appeared the same. We ordered chicken wings, peel n eat shrimp and a burger. They only had cajun shrimp left, so after seeing the folks behind me being served the ribeye dinner, I changed my order. Wow. Great flavor, and served with roasted potatoes and fresh green beans. I was impressed. All that was missing was bread, but I didn't care much. I liked the quieter atmosphere and after a very drunk man made a huge scene and a fool of himself, the manager stopped by our table with an apology. Very good service. Excellent value for a steak dinner. Still a great place to eat. The entire meal was less than $30 for two drinks, burger/fries, and steak dinner!“
