“The hounds rest used to be the blind pig. The new ownership has done a fantastic job keeping the local charm while making tasteful updates. The aesthetic is old English and it's on point.

I can't say it enough. I love their support of local breweries and the community. They participate in so many events and even host events. I consider this bar whenever I want a night out or just a quick drink with friends.“

Blind Pig Brewpub Bar • $
301 N Neil St, Champaign

“Seen the Blind Pig Brewpub across the street from our hotel, and so we decided to go there. We were greeted by the bartender, “Chewy”, who did an excellent job serving us. We did not know that the gentleman sitting next to us was Matt, the owner. Matt was super-friendly, and even let us sample beers while explaining the history of the brewpub, and telling us about the new beers that are coming out soon. Mesa did a good job as well describing all of the deserts they had. Everybody was very friendly here, and we were very impressed.. Both the food and beers here were simply outstanding.! We highly recommend coming here for a visit, and will definitely be back!“

It is a little dark at times as the lighting is turned down, but not in a bad way as it lets the wall lights shine and actually add to the atmosphere somewhat more. Overall, enjoyable experience every time.“

“Went here during the summer and it had a very relaxed atmosphere, exactlywhat I was looking for in a hookah lounge. It is pretty barebones except for a few couches and booths. The staff might be the best part though. The guy we had was a great story teller and was on the ball when it came to adjusting coals.“

“It's a nice bar. They have taps to pour yourself beers or get a nice cocktail. They have a variety of selections for beers and cocktails. The atmosphere is a very nice place to come with friends and family. They don't have a kitchen though. If you're planning on having meals here, you have to bring it from somewhere else and that's a nice thing, I guess. Overall, this place is very nice. I enjoyed it.“

“Centrally located, affordable prices, decent selection of food, and everyday has a different drink special - it doesn’t get better than this for a campus bar. Don’t forget to ride the rail!

Highly recommend the fish sandwich. It’s weird to recommend seafood in central Illinois, but trust me, it is so good. Service can be a little slow when they get busy, but I can’t fault them for that. Know how to get the bartenders attention and you’ll get your drink no problem. Overall a great campus bar.“
