50 Best Bars near Cherry Valley

“We love Diesta, she is the best! Highly recommend Lucky Dog!“

“These are some fine folks! Excellent food, top notch service. Kind of like a “Cheers” spot for us in that they know your name and what you drink and are always on their game! The servers work very hard and the cooks are excellent. Owner is very approachable and a good guy. Get on their text list so you know when the smoked corned beef reubens are available! Highly recommend!“

“great small town atmosphere with amazing food, service, and Bloody Mary's!“

“Marco’s is my fave local bar and slots! The bartenders are very friendly & make great drinks. The atmosphere is very nice & cozy. The events here are awesome!“

“Awesome friendly people with great bartenders“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“amazing owners, amazing staff. great neighborhood bar with great live music!!! love coming here“

“Shayna was a wonderful bartender and provided excellent service. This is a very friendly, cozy and low key bar with surprisingly excellent food! Their mango habanero bone in wings were EXCELLENT. Not too spicy but just the right amount of kick. The beef loaded nachos were great too! Thanks for the excellent service and a great impression on my first time there!“

“This bar rocks! Friendly and fun place to unwind! It recently went through an ownership change and you guys are amazing! I wish you continued success! I have been there for many of your recent events and I love everything you do! 😘❤️- Definitely going back!“

“Food is second to none!!! Best Smash Burgers in Rockford hands down!“

“Great mid-west, family owned, neighborhood pub. You'll never be served by a better group of bartenders either. The name Rockview might not sound familiar but "the bar on woodruff" or "the bar by the viaduct on Broadway " should jog your memory.“

“Great bartender and nice atmosphere“

“The bartender, pete, was awsum. He was personable, glad to explain the ice cream shots they have, shared the last Tue of the month paint "party" they do, and was on top of making sure needs were being met without being overbearing. The bar is clean, has updated decor, and overall a fun vibe. I recommend checking it out .“

“great crowd, great drinks and a lot of fun!“

“Neighborhood bar that fits the spot. New owner has done a great job and investing. A lot of effort into making the place just a little more special.

Great place to throw darts at the Bulter. Always have music to play, and the sports game or two on, but never too busy. Lots of surprises and raffles that are continuously ongoing. Most of the time with a good cause to support things like the veterans memorial..“

“Neighborhood feel with great people, good food, lots of fun and though the place has remodeled over the years, it still feels like the bar it was way back in my young days!“

“Cute place! The drinks were well priced and they had a lot of variety. The bands (Silhouette and Taboo Blah Blah) were excellent, and the environment was fun! The only thing I would improve on is the size - it is a little small considering the crowd that was there!“

“Excellent and helpful staff. Friday fish is one of the best in the area. My mom loves the Walleye and Blue Gill. And she is picky about her fish. My sister is not a fan of fish so she gets the chicken sandwich and says it is one of the best she has ever had.“

“Eat spot to sip a great affordable drink! The bartenders are the absolute best. The slots pay out every time I have played and did I tell you the bartenders are theeeee best! A must stop spot in loves park! Right next to 640 meats, baked wings and India house!“

“Love Heather! Nice little hangout spot.“

“this is where i fell in love😍“

“Top Dollar Slots on Alpine is one of the better gaming spots in the Rockford area if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable slot parlor with good machines and a relaxed atmosphere. The space is well kept, machines are in great condition, and the overall vibe is easygoing whether you’re stopping in for a quick session or staying awhile.

What really made this visit stand out though was the food. I tried the Napoli’s Specialty Supreme Pizza, and it was honestly excellent — fresh, loaded with toppings, and cooked perfectly. Having quality food available while you play is a huge bonus compared to many local gaming cafes.

Other positives:
• Friendly and welcoming staff
• Comfortable seating with good spacing between machines
• Complimentary beverages while you play
• Convenient Alpine location with easy parking
• Clean environment throughout

If you’re searching for slot machines near Alpine Road, a local video gaming cafe, or a place to relax with good food and gaming, this is definitely worth checking out. Solid experience all around, and I’ll be back.“

“Nice place and great menu.“

“Parking: There is a social services office across the street that closes at 4-5pm and there are approximately 30 spaces available.

Kid-friendliness: The dining room is large and plenty of room for children.

Wheelchair accessibility: The dining room and bar area are 7 steps below street level but there is an elevator chair that glides down safely.“

“Great people, food is wonderful, and the slots are fun!“

“Love it here great food n drinks“

“great beer selection good food fun atmosphere“

“Nice place for party’s .. lindo lugar para fiestas 🥳“

“A comfortable, relaxing place with delicious beers and shots. Non-judgmental atmosphere and great snacking food to boot.“

“Great food great people!!“

“It's a very nice clean regular bar where all the regulars come tell their day time stories or their week stories whatever and it's all been redone on the inside so it's very clean very nice looking. They also offer games like darts there's TVs and I was there for a birthday party so I imagine they have other things I just didn't get to see everything but like I said it's a great local bar and it's very clean and the regulars like to have a lot of fun yet I found that it was not cliquish at all and everybody was very inclusive and wants what your favorite drink to get to know you even wanted to find out what your favorite drink is, nobody was standoffish are snotty or playing Mean girls because it's their bar, that's not the vibe at all, the vibe is come in have fun enjoy yourself and then go home and have a nice night that's the vibe I got from there! They also have Dart leagues that go to Vegas! Let's put it this way if it wasn't so far away from my home I would make it my local Watering Hole but I'm still glad that I got to visit it. If anybody out there agrees with my review please just simply press the like button! Thank you“

“Good burgers and fries! Recently repainted and reconfigured“

“Great place. Great people if your looking to relax. Have a few stop over and you would say yes“

“This place thinks orders of protection are to made fun of.“

“Local gem. Reasonable prices on drinks. No food but people sometime bring it in. Chips! They have pinball, pool, darts, and some other game I never play.

Friendly bartenders and people. Does not normally shut down early like some other places. I enjoy the regulars.“

“Great food and even better service. I stopped in for lunch here and had the carne asada and carnitas tacos. They were delicious!! Had a margarita to wash it all down. Very clean inside and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be back to try more menu items and the ambiance of this establishment.“

“First time experience here! And what a wonderful one! Such a charming atmosphere and wonderful staff! The food is amazing and their drinks were on point! ☕️ Would definitely recommend! And we will be returning!“

“Cool place. Located on the upper level of a multi-unit building, features a fully enclosed bar with indoor seating and outdoor seating. I sat at the bar, only me. Got a Monday burger special (Baker Street is closed Monday). Beer is a bit steep at $7.50 for a 16 oz. It looked like less than 16 oz with the tall and skinnier glass but I indeed confirmed with a pour of my pint-glass water into an empty. I recommend the Lucha Mexican with a slice of lime. Also fried the Lucha Lime, which was also good. Other beers are available, kind of hard to read on the tap handles as they’re handwritten in vertical print. Would have been nice to see the beers listed on the drink menu. I couldn’t find them anywhere.“

“No frills, no food, though they sometimes have a food truck outside. Dive with pool table, darts, slots. Crowd is mixed, lot of older folks. Pretty empty earlier but fills out at night. Drinks are very reasonably priced, staff is friendly. Outdoor heated smoking area. TVs usually playing a sports game. Karaoke every night at 830, (730 every other weds). They also host events occasionally that are lots of fun.“

“Great place to get a good meal and drink“

“My mom, niece, and I went to the eggstra special egg hunt today and had so much fun, there were so many activities, everyone was so nice, i definitely recommend“

“Fantastic food! Fabulous service! Hometown vibe! We went all in last night, on a taste testing journey..round 1- cheese curds & meatball bomb w/ garlic toast. Round 2- walleye, cod, shrimp, baked & cheesy potatoes, and salad. Round 3- yummy Texas sheet cake! Everything was delicious, hot, and picture worthy!“

“In town for work rn, stopped in to do some laundry and ordered some food and a few beers. Friendly home town vibe with cheap brews can’t be beat.“

“Great food, friendly service, and a facility which is both clean and eye-catching. Definitely one of THE places to eat in downtown Rockford.“

“Had a group of 19 women in for lunch today. Went in last week to let staff know we were coming on Monday at 11 am. I arrived, no tables were set up and I had to help arrange tables. All of our meals were very good. There was a huge variety on the menu choices. I asked our waitress if I might have a gift card ( $10 or $15) to draw from among the women. Was told the manager could not get ahold of the owners to ask if this was okay. Really? Anyway, every 2 months I make a reservation for us all to go to lunch. Never been turned down before. All the food was great. This just rubbed me the wrong way.“

“The Tavern on Clark is amazing! My daughter and I were traveling from out of town and were recommended this place! The manager went out of his way to accommodate us and find us a table. They were so busy. We didn’t have a reservation. But he was so kind and helpful, working out a way for us to have a wonderful dinner! Our server was so efficient. The food was as delicious as we were hoping! Literally my daughter’s burger was HUGE! The potato fries were cooked to perfection. I had a BBQ chicken salad that was so fresh and tasted amazing! We come to Rockford for soccer a few times a year. We will be back for sure!“

“I had my father's flag folded & placed in his shadow box. it was beautiful to have done by these angels of God. I appreciated it so very much. Thank you all for the support.“

“Great slots and friendly atmosphere!“

“We stopped in after our grandsons baseball game. It was our first time here. There were 8 of us who decided we wanted to sit in the beer garden.
The burgers were awesome! The service was outstanding!
Thank you Joe for taking good care of us!
Highly recommended.“

“First time I have been there and I have no complaints. TNT just happened to be close to my work. A friend and I wanted to grab a burger. So we gave it a try. Had the Rodeo Burger. Way bigger than I expected and very good. Nice Job TNT. We sat at the bar and the staff and patrons were really welcoming. That was really nice as we had never been there. We will put this place in the lunch ration. I recommend this place.“
