18 Best Bars in Granite City

“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.“

“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.“

“good food and fun great people and bartender“

“indoor horseshoes pool table slot machines jukebox“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Great Bartenders. Attentive and Fun like no other“

“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“

“Went there with a friend of mine last night. I haven’t been there in about 30 years. The margaritas are homemade and very good. The food and service was also very good. We left our appetizers on the table when we went outside. When we came back they were gone. Not a big deal. We were already full and totally not upset about it. However, when this got back to the cook, he immediately came over to us, apologized profusely, and very kindly offered to make us new appetizers at no additional charge. We declined and told him it wasn’t a big deal, but it was very nice of him to come out and talk to us about it. I’ll definitely be back with MORE friends! 😊“

“great dive-bar atmosphere, great food, and cheap food/drinks. great service and great management“

“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.“

“I had a great time tonight. Such a friendly atmosphere and good hometown feel!“

“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.“
