Bars near Pontoon Beach

“The new location @ 5111 hwy 111 is an incredible upgrade! So glad they stayed in Pontoon Beach, IL. Well done Carl! The place is beautiful, including the new still, which is a focal point of the very much needed bar. Appetizers and pizza are available now, but they are soon to hire a chef and develop a new fuller menu. BEST vodka in the world and priced for the everyday working American! This vodka has international distribution potential. I will be a regular customer for sure.“

“loved our experience! we booked a private room and loved the ambiance. our server Scotty was very attentive and made it a great evening. food was delicious. my picky eaters loved the pizzazilla“

“Great little place we visited on a whim from out of town to meet a friend.

We were seated politely in the back area with lots of patio umbrellas on a nice deck porch.

We had lunch, but it looks like they have live music and a really great atmosphere for the evenings for anyone looking for a great place to chill with friends and a very relaxed atmosphere outdoors.

The bacon popcorn was really great. I had a chicken sandwich that was pretty good (maybe the chicken was a tiny dry) and my husband really loved his Cuban sandwich.

I would definitely try this place again on a Sunday afternoon

Parking: Pull into the back to park“

“Great beer selection on tap!“

“Love this place. Bartenders are nice, quick and make delicious drinks on their rotating seasonal drinks menu, especially Harley. I really love when they have themed drinks for the various shows they house.
If you're looking for local drag and burlesque or to get on stage with some karaoke with fun DJs like Skeleta, Dizzy Punch, and Disko Kate.
Love all their NA options and excited for their expansion!“

“We stopped here after Paint Louis as it was recommended for its Gluten-free menu and what a great find! The cider flight was perfect as was our appetizer, main meal and dessert (hey, ya gotta have dessert when the rest of the meal was so awesome!). We wound up taking 2 growlers of cider with us and will be back again!“

“I've been coming to this eclectic, artistic, ever-changing bar for years. I do miss the Rastafarian cooks from the old days in the late '80s. It is a mandatory stop for a drink or three whenever out of towners want to do something a little" different ".
From the first floor to the upstairs to the various patio areas there is something interesting and wonderful around every
corner. Just do it !“

“The drinks are so delicious, I had a large bomb pop, You can definitely taste the liquor“

“I grew up in this neighborhood and I occasionally stop by the Asian Corner takeout at the corner. I always wanted to stop in for many years but I never really made time to do so as works been busy.
It's my birthday weekend so I made time!
I drove by this place last weekend & noticed the massive crowd & yeah, definitely no parking. This time I wanted to stop in early (2:20pm) to beat the crowd.
It's a old school set so if you're looking for the youngsters this is not the place. Well, not at the time I arrived and Ieft about 6pm. The way that I like it to be. Grown Folks!
Juke Box is your Dj, customer service is absolutely professional and warm all around. The bar is where I sat. However, seating is available with tables, there's a patio out back. Looks nice but I didn't head out that way. No food
(I didn't see any options) but that's OK. Dress code is casual so wear whatever you like. Ample parking if you get here early like 7pm...just a guess.
I only came to check it out as I was in the area for food. I'll be back!“

“I went to Lit at Molly's where they have holiday drinks and Xmas decor. It looked awesome. All the drinks are $14 and I didn't like one and they wouldn't let me swap it or anything. It was $11 p/p to get in, so I'm not sure why they couldn't swap a drink. Id taken 1 sip. I clearly didn't like it. Oh well, nice otherwise.“

“The shrimp bowl was absolutely amazing and the people who works there are just the best would recommend this place to all my friends“

Can’t wait to go there and sit and have a few Stags , which is my favorite. Looking forward to order other items from the menu. The day I was there , the bartender and patrons were very friendly. See ya soon ???“

“Myself and two friends came in for a concert. Natasha was a phenomenal bartender...great cocktails and even better personality. The homemade salsa and potato boats were to die for. A must visit.“

“Great shaded patio, large menu, shuttles to every game/concert.“

“I love the sign they have on the wall when you first walk in saying “the whole world is short staffed, please be kind to the people that showed up today”. Be warned if you’re looking for a place to eat this is not it. A couple small bar food items that are being cooked in an air fryer in the back is your only option. This is the place to drink beer though! The staff was friendly and the selection of drinks was pretty good. Also affordable here witch makes it a little nicer.“

“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.“

“Always a good time at the Honkytonk STL!“

“Food was bomb AF, bartender was on point, DJ had great tunes, owner was super friendly, everyone just made me and my friend feel like we were home. Y'all made me feel l was back home in Philly. I'd definitely stop again next time I'm in town. Thank you for a great night.“

“very friendly, old school bar with great food“

“it's called a dive bar, the regulars keep coming back because it's such a small, welcoming, caring place that has a history. A nice quiet comfortable neighborhood place with as little drama as possible so we can relax after a day or week. Just regular every day people trying to get by the same as every one else.“

“Good local low Key place in the drinking capitol of St. Louis“

“The Luna Cafe is a small but friendly place.It's kinda historic. I don't think they serve food anymore, I could be wrong about that though.Is it a destination spot? No, but if you find yourself in the area stop in and have a few.Oh, bring cash, no cards accepted.They do have an ATM you can hit.“

“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.“

“Best Bartenders and great music!“

“Wonderful back patio to hear music. Very casual. Bring your lawn chair. Many patrons had food delivered ti the patio while the band played. Alcohol & non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase at the bar. All patrons in attendance were over 21.“

“The food was delicious and fabulous!“

“Two pool tables, lots of gaming machines, at least one dart board, jukebox, good sized bar with lots of stools. The women's restroom was very clean, everything worked, and everything was stocked and so adorably decorated!! The smoking section is completely fenced in and has multiple tables. It's not the biggest place but it is fun! Lots of tables inside too. I'd go back!“

“We used the Rhône Rum Bar for our ten year high school reunion. I cannot give them enough praise! Debbie with Moulin Events was beyond helpful, accommodating, and communicative. She made the whole experience easy and fun. I would definitely have another event at the Rhône Rum Bar, and I plan to use Moulin Events in the future!“
