“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. ??“
“Unbelievably fantastic food. My first time ever going there & everyone ive talked to jyst rants & raves about how great it is... Well I found out first hand that they werent kidding. Had appetizers that were just amazing & the best Mojito ive ever had... They grow their own mint there & serve their mojitos with fresh mint. First of all to even see that mojitos were a choice was awesome & then when you get it & take your first drink of it, its like heaven. Then when the main course came I was pleasantly surprised on the presentation & the taste. The staff was amazing & on too of it. They were very kind & knowledgeable & voiced their high opinion of the food... I will definitely be back & will tell everyone I know about how amazing my new favorite restaurant is .. A++++“
“Brought my two sons for my oldest sons birthday and we had a really good time. We played for an hour and I was shocked at how fast it went. We played multiple different games and really enjoyed tic tac toe. The fun part about that is you can steal your opponents spot. So if they have an X in a spot, and you hit it, it goes blank. Hit it again and your O appears. Fun stuff.“
“Doit's Village Inn. What can I say negative about this place. Absolutely nothing. I've been going into this bar for numerous years. And I've always been welcomed with a smile from the bar tender , too the kitchen cooks , to the customers. 5 stars for the food. 5 stars for The cook at Village inn, Mr gravy. One of the nicest men you will ever meet.. I met 2 gentlemen while shooting pool just 2 days ago. And shot pool with them and chatted for 4 hrs and enjoyed myself. I've made many of friends here. If you have never been here then you need to stop in, play there slots 5 stars, have some drinks 5 stars order some food 5 stars. Thank you every one.“
“It is a fun place for groups and individuals. The owners are friendly and very approachable. The staff is second to none. A Lyle's you walk in a Stranger but walk out as family. The "regulars" are great, too. Just sit back and be entertained by the stories they tell.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible at the back door, and there's always help from a friendly Patront.“
“1st of EVERY MONTH FRI AND SAT ONLY (check local listing hours due to the COVID pandemic) they have TACOS, CHIMICHANGA, TACO SALAD, and I'm missing the last item ..... Brain toot!HOWEVER ITS LIKE 2 DOLLARS PER DEEP FRIED TACO ETC.FRIENDLY, NEIGHBORHOOD BAR...“
“Ok guys let's have a quick talk about Kokes. I'm a first timer here. But I decided on the All American Burger. A burger with egg, cheese, and bacon. Easy. Aaaand wow. Nailed it. Just add some mustard and you've got yourself a sandwich you can't put down. Not to mention the wings and the tamale we had for an appetizer. The surrounding neighborhood does not reflect the atmosphere here. On the way I though, where the hell am I going? Leaving here I know where I'm going again.“
“A wonderful establishment! The new cook, Mark, is definitely on the ball. The food was cooked made to order, accurately dressed, quality and quantity was two thumbs up. The atmosphere is quietly pleasant yet enough pep to get the spirits going. It is a good place to gather with friends and family or just a quiet evening out solo or with a significant other. This establishment is kid friendly, but most adults choose family time here during the day or dinner. The evenings are most enjoyable being in a non discriminate establishment with a variety of positive kind folks. The staff are extremely catering to each individual wants and they are very patient, respectful, and kind. The staff practice universal precautions in sanitation throughout the hours of their shift. This is a family friendly, stranger friendly, everybody friendly environment. What tops this place off is the most affordable prices from the alcoholic beverages to the appetizers and main dishes. I highly recommend this particular social restaurant to frequent. This is a place of safety and will help contribute to a well balanced quality of life!“
“Somebody left a wicked upper decker in the men’s room………The young man doing DJing kept playing funky music….The Rosa chick at the bar was very kind and spit in my drink for $5..The place has a very fun atmosphere…….Bouncer is a real tough guy he doesn’t tolerate any of that wild big city non sense.”Liberals bware!!!!!!!!!!Parking: Lots of nice spots to park BIG TRUCKS“
“It's pretty cool for a dive bar.The people are friendly and down to earth.The owners seemed really cool.I went on a Thursday night and they had karaoke and it was fun.The drinks aren't over priced and the bartender was really nice.I would recommend this place to my friends.“
“I love that this place has karaoke and that fact had an impact on my decision to move to this area. The drinks are standard, the menu is straight up and the staff are wonderful. I cannot comment on the food as of yet because I haven't had the pleasure of eating here. Maybe it's because the people are real, the bartenders are on it and I keep missing the opportunity to get to the menu fully. Fun place and I look forward to coming back here again!! Thank you ?“
“Food is amazing! The service is nice and fast. The place can be expensive, but the food is about what you would pay for. It's a great place to eat if you want to try something newUpdate- I would not suggest going here on a Sunday. There will be a waiting time and a chance that your food might be could due to how busy they get on Sundays.Features: This place can get pretty packed so I'd wear a mask if you're still uncomfortable with the pandemic“
“It's a friendly place to go it has a food menu and sometimes a free meals like chili cook off's fish and crawfish cooks with sides and all are bring a side dish or not but would be nice cause not everyone eats the same like this past Saturday they had free home made lasagna and salad made by a patron to the bar which my husband knew it was delicious there is no smoking in the bar but there is outside even has a closed in area for smoking outside relaxing place to go they have pool tables and slots machines horse shoes game outside and inside restrooms“
“Amazing peeps and amazing time!!Went on an Alton bar tour with my brother I’m from Saint Louis…. This was ur best time ever and this is the best bar I found in Alton!!! Chrissy is so sweet and made me feel at home!!! We be back! PS the pickle shots are on point!“
“My husband and I went there today as a start to a date night. The guy there explained the flavors and let us try a few before we ordered. The staff was really nice and the drinks are great! We are excited to come back to see what flavors they have next time. Keep up the great work, we hope this business thrives! ? Great ideas!“
“You will never have a bad time here with any of the bartenders! Take it from me and i terrorize all of them and the will tell you! Their awesome! Day, after 5 or late night they hold their own with me and I am that guy who is ornery as hell and keeps it light even in th worst! The place to be in Granite City after a bad day, or just because! Be cautious of Darla and Shelley those two..... They got you?! Lol love my home bar and bartenders! They know it! So yes yelp her it is... Hooches and sixteen has 100% from this guy... But even the first time visitor know their welcome! Wealthy or average Joe these bartenders have everyone. But if your too lit to drive they will stop you! Yall have no idea how great these girls are... Girl loosely used darla and Shelley. ? love the bar and YOU will too!“
“Super cool place to check out. If you are new to ordering drinks they got you. Every drink I've had has been incredible, the people are super nice. They have an covered outdoor smoking area, various music selections. Can not recommend enough.“
“I was there for a few minutes. I’m not a drinker or someone you usually find at a bar but I love the hometown familiarity. Many people I grew up with were there. The owner is a fantastic, tough as nails, iconic type of woman. We need more business owners and entrepreneurs like her. I’ll write more when I have more to say! I believe Sue & her establishment deserve a full 5-star review.“
“Halloween weekend - busy place and seemed a bit understaffed as our server was managing several tables as well as making drinks at the bar. However, service was timely,efficient and cheerful. I split a sandwich with an accompanying friend and our server very thoughtfully had split the check and our drink orders without us even asking- very impressive especially on a busy night! We had the Cuban and it was well prepared with crispy bread as it should be. Prices are in line with quality and quantity. Their cocktail menu is fun but most importantly the cocktails taste good. Setting is quite casual and can tend to be noisy. My only negative is I wish they had fries!“
