4 Beer Barrel Pub

3.9 Good 65 Reviews

7205 Montclair Avenue, Godfrey

“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.”

5 Ranch House

3330 Godfrey Road, Godfrey

“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.”

40 Norb's Tavern

4.3 Superb 90 Reviews

2505 State Street, Alton · 2.47 miles

“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.”
