“Food was delicious and reasonable.
Wheelchair assessable, inside is non smoking with a covered smoking area and plenty of seating. They also have pool tables and slot machines and free popcorn. One other thing their Hotwings are the bomb with their special sauce. Not to hot but hot enough to have one of their ice cold beers to wash it down and ready for another bite.“

“Chef Travis is an amazing cook by far! We went once and he was sold out of the birria tacos, stopped by last night to catch the and ended up getting a special for the bourbon chicken he had. The sauce was so flavorful and the chicken was so tender. He shows us such great hospitality & is an amazing cook. We will continue to support him and his journey as long as we see that big space ship down there! 🤍🤍“

“Good food, nice folks, great service!“

“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!“

“always a friendly face behind the bar and good food“

“On Chain of Rocks Road, the original alignment of Route 66 towards the Mississippi River crossing, you'll find the historic Luna Cafè, a very well preserved bar, famous for being a hideout of mobster Al Capone and other prohibition-era gangsters.“

“OMG, this place is a breath of fresh air. With all of the hole in the wall bars in the area with crap service and a horrible selection behind the bar, this place breaks the mold.
Michelle was an amazing barkeep, the atmosphere was lively amd the pool and dart boards kept the evening alive. For the first time in along time, last call was a dreaded call. I am surprised that a local bar actually had me wanting to stay later. Of you aren't from around here, let this place impress you. If you are from around here, give the Barrel another try. This place is definitely a must visit.“

“If you like local dive bars and pizza this is the place to go. Their pizza is the bomb ? The staff is friendly and most of the regulars are too. Lol. They also have an AMI jukebox, an ATM machine, several TV screens to watch sports games, and video gambling machines. They have a back patio with seating for smokers and they usually have heat out back when they remember to refill the propane tanks. It’s usually just one bartender waiting on everyone and making the pizzas in their pizza oven. Drink a cold one and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait. ??“

“Had a large party with short notice today and they accommodated us with no issues. Josie our waitress was one of the best servers we have had in a long time.“

“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!“

“I've stopped in here a few times since I live just down the road from it. The times I've gone in, it wasn't too busy, but they tell me they have a good time on a Saturday night. It's really not your best bet if you want food. They serve your basic frozen pizzas and the like, but nothing remarkable. Sammi's Subs, next door, is another story though. EXCELLENT sandwiches (but they aren't open late). Like another reviewer said, I think Norb's is a great dive-bar with some pool tables and darts. Probably the most fun if you bring a friend or two, and preferably ones who like to play pool or darts. I believe they were cash only at the bar, and they didn't really have a lot of drink specials when I went. So bring cash.“

“We had lunch today at The Refinery Bar & Grill and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, as well as the atmosphere. The waitress was pleasant and the food came out promptly. It was our first visit because we don’t live in the area, but we’ll spread the word and visit again when we return to the area to see family. ?“

“The food was prepared very well and the 2 servers were working their butts off. You could tell that this is THE place for working guys to get their lunch. Website shows breakfast is available but the server said they no longer do that. Room is very noisy.
There are no outside doors to the bathroom rooms so if you are seated near them smells could become part of your meal. At our visit, there was no toilet paper in the handicapped stall which made me think the bathrooms are not serviced very often. This was a half hour after opening and it was an industrial size paper dispenser with 2 sides - both empty.“
