“I make it a point to go here every time I come up to the Illinois Valley The 1901 Brunswick backbar is a thing of beauty. The drinks are okay. It is what it is. I've been here more times than I can remember most recently I was there May 17 2014. Last time was 2010? I personally really love the place. Here is my only problem, and I hope the owners read this, the building obviously has floor or structural issues near the entrance! You can tell by looking at the laminate flooring as it's pulling apart. The floor felt like it may collapse at any time. I don't want to read about this in the Tribune or hear about it on WGN news.“
“My husband and I went here for my 30th birthday back in August. We came here again for date night. Great food, great drinks, great service, and the guy behind the bar who made our copper penny dessert is FANTASTIC at mixing drinks. 10/10 will be back again.“
“You would never expect this establishment in North-Central Illinois to be a "destination"...but, set your GPS, wind through the streets of LaSalle, and be open to a great service and great food! Be sure to ask if Owner John is there (I bet he always is if he didn't already find you) and ask him about the specials (and maybe anything else he has been cooking up in the kitchen). We randomly found 9th Street Pub after touring the City of LaSalle's Celebration of Lights (another new tradition) on our way home to Bloomington. While I was definitely not totally sold on the bar setting (especially with our 13 y/o daughter with us), John greeted us right away and made us feel welcome with his hospitality and insight into the menu. We all got delicious apps, me a Reuben (which was awesome and a true classic - not typical bar food), and my wife got a short-rib special (that you won't find anywhere else in a Pub)!! My wife and I will be back for sure - when we can have a few drinks, play some video poker or pool/darts, and maybe get lucky to have a DJ spinning - like who was setting-up on that random night at 9th Street Pub! Best wishes in 2024, John and 9th Street!“
“The drinks, the atmosphere, the service is all incredible. This is your neighborhood bar, the place to be on the weekends. You can’t find a place like this anywhere else. Make this your new go-to spot. You’re guaranteed to have a great time!“
