9 Best Sports Bars near Coal City

“Babes is a great bar and reataraunt in Coal City. I stopped in on a Monday night after work to celebrate a friend's birthday and was not disappointed. Walking in the front door, the bar is open and inviting. There are gambling machines and a shuffle board table there to pass the time. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by Bri. I ordered a beer and a couple appetizers to start. The kitchen is in the front of the house so you can see your food prepared. The jalapeño poppers were a standard deep fried jalapeño with cream cheese, fried to a perfect brown crust on the outside and a creamy spicy inside. The cheese curds are an above average variety. The batter is salty and crunchy which pairs perfectly with the melted gooey cheese on the inside. Next up was the burger. I ordered a hamburger and fries which was recommended by everyone in the place. It did not disappoint. Grilled to order and seasoned with the confidence of an experienced cook. If you are in the area and want a great meal at a great place, stop in and check them out. I know I will be back when I'm in town.“

“The Garage On Water Sports Bar in Wilmington is quickly becoming a local favorite, especially during Catfish Days weekend. Tucked along the scenic Millrace at 116 S Water Street, this spot blends small-town charm with big energy. This will be a great place to watch the Wildcat games or to celebrate after another Cat win. The place was crowded all weekend long, drawn by the cold drinks, friendly staff, and the live performances that make you linger longer than planned. It’s the kind of place where locals gather, visitors feel at home, and the music never misses.“
