“We came in to play some darts and have a few drinks and eat some food. It’s a great welcoming atmosphere. The bar don’t serve food but the owner was sure to go to another bar he owns that does and bring us wings. We being not from around here and here for work felt very welcome. Everyone was so interested in what we do for work and very polite. We will definitely be making this our go to bar while we are in town. I highly recommend stopping in here if you’re in the area. Thank you very much to these friendly group of amazing people for not looking at us like we’re outsiders like almost every place we go to does we greatly appreciate it.“

“A fun Tavern with snazzy bartenders...plus it's on your way to everywhere!“

“Went to Opie's for the first time tonight to celebrate my and my boyfriend's 3rd anniversary and it was phenomenal! I had heard they had the best fried pickles in town...they absolutely do! And one order has to be equal to 2 jars of pickle chips. 🤯 I had the Big Mic Smash Tacos with fries...10/10! Also, the blueberry lemonade shake-up...dangerously delicious! My boyfriend had some wings, a beer battered tenderloin and fries and still hasn't stopped raving about it. Carolyn was our waitress and she was fun and upbeat. She said Opie never wants people to leave hungry and we most certainly didn't. We were stuffed and took home enough leftovers for a second meal each! We will definitely be returning! Truly a Galesburg gem! 🖤“

Appreciate the owners and their wifeys. Always a good time. Mad respect and best of luck to the whole crew. Thanks for having me and always treating me right. *CHEERS*“

“This place is amazing! At first, I felt a bit out of place, but once I played music on the Touch Tunes jukebox they had, everyone started vibing with me, and I felt right at home! Everyone knows one another there, and there's a strong sense of community. The bartender kept my drinks coming and was attentive. I recommend it. Now I have to sleep off those ice cold drinks before work! ??✌?“
