16 Best Bars in Granite City

“good food and fun great people and bartender“

“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.“

“nice little tavern. great place to have a beer or two and even better place to eat at.“

“I've only been a few times but seems to be a fun and inclusive place to meet some interesting characters and play pool.

Oh and I'm sure other reviews have mentioned it but THE WINGS. Do not sleep on the wings their buffalo sauce is chefs kiss 😘

Edit: all the bartenders I have met have treated me with respect despite my weirdness, my kind of place“

“Many years and many laughs at Ken's. The bartenders are always awesome, friendly atmosphere, pool tables, gaming, but the best part is the owner, she is top notch and always puts her customers first, like family.. My favorite bar in Granite City.“

“Great atmosphere with excellent service. I have been there for breakfast and dinner. The food is always good.“

“Their brunch buffet is amazing! Made to order eggs, pancakes and French toast come with it. Everything else is amazing too. Their potato skins remind me of Jack n the Box bacon cheddar potato wedges! Good prices too. We usually get carryout once a week from here for dinner.“

“I have been frequenting El Gato’s since the fall of 2020. I mostly go in only on weekends because I enjoy karaoke and I have a blast. The bartenders are friendly and attentive… the karaoke DJ Doug is amazing. He definitely broke me out of my shell to where I’ll sing alone“

“nice small friendly place. great service. wish they had more food though“

“Great Food, Awesome Staff, and some really cool and funny people.“

“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.“

“Special thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us Friday night at Tegans Pub House 🎶 Awesome venue with a nice stage, great food, and always a new upgrade! 😊 They now have a 2nd bar next to the stage! 🤘🎸💥 We hope to be back soon in 2026! ☮️“

“The bartender, Rita, is quick to tell a woman to leave her man. yet the day after the woman leaves, she's staying at her house, eating her food, and having sex with the man she told her to leave! This is a bar for single men that want to ram the bartender! zero stars I do not recommend.“

“Awesome food every time!! Don’t think I ever ate anything I didn’t like or wasn’t happy with.“

“Well if it wasn't for the door guy that's a straight up douche bag and over steps his authority has a power trip. And is as dumb or if not dumber than a box of rocks. They get rid of him definitely be a decent place.
