12 Best Sports Bars near Bethalto

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

“7 of us gathered from Illinois, Florida and Missouri for lunch. From the minute we stepped in the front door and were greeted. We felt special and like family. Such welcoming, friendly staff. Service was great. Food outstanding. The atmosphere was perfect for allowing us to reunite and catch up on lost time.“

“One of the best Bar & Grills in Illinois. Plenty of great food, great service, and excitable crowd. If you come at the right time, you can catch a band. Lots of TVs. Lots of seating.
Extra:
• Video gaming
• Claw Machines, some of which are not rigged
• Outdoors smoking area

The only logical complaint is the noise level, which can get a bit loud at times but not overly too much.
Overall 5 stars. Wonderful bar & grill.“

“I ordered online and got errors stating problems with website on 12/16. I stopped by as it appeared that everything went through including the charge. I stopped by the store and the manager saw what I was seeing and worked with me to get my order processed (which was not easily resolved). He was very patient and helped get my order processed. Very nice, friendly, and helpful staff.“

“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.“

“08/07/25 — Our server Gracey was phenomenal! She was so kind, patient and attentive despite some of the people we were with being very frustrating to deal with. She was very personable and made it a very comfortable meal.

I hope somebody personally thanks her and lets her know what a great job she is doing.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
