16 Best Bars near Spaulding

“I'm from Wisconsin and this is truly one of the most friendly and comfortable bars I've ever been in. Bartenders are very attentive especially Dee Rees. You guys rock!!! Even though the brewers or packers will rarely be seen on tv.?“

“The hot chocolate here is my absolute favorite! I tried it after a friend's suggestion and I've been back multiple times because once I get a craving, it's all I can think about. I like mine plain, but they have add-ons like peppermint and whipped cream to really make it festive. It's also such a beautiful space to relax and spend time in with a great staff. We're so lucky to have this gem in Downtown Springfield!“

“My family moved from Illinois a life time ago. Was back for a moment recently. I know from the partys oscar threw together back in a time Before life got real and we were still pretzles. He was destined to have the best place around. Where ever he ended up. All that practice he put in paid off with a fantastic place to have a great time. He and the wonderful staff will make sure everybody is smiling. Good food, good music, good people, cheap drinks, great time, nothing else needed.“

“I recently moved here from Chicago and stopped by Terra. Bill (the owner) was inviting and friendly. He took the time to explain the history of Terra, the tap list and how to purchase bottles/cans. This place is amazing! So unique! I encourage everyone to try this place out.“

“Hands down best bar in Springfield. Amazing service. All of the bar tenders are expedient. They're great at serving large crowds. And since we're on the topic of crowds, best damn crowd of people in all of the 217. Most welcoming and fun loving people I've ever been around. Great vibes.Parking: Parking our front on the street and multiple lots next to and across the street. Safe to cross the street as well. If you don't feel comfortable, the bouncers will escort you as well. Safety is paramount.“

“Everyone should know a spot like this! Super friendly people, great atmosphere, and the food was beyond the basic bar food! LOVED my 965 Burger and the loaded tots were awesome! I'm eager to visit again sometime. OH...and those onion rings! Holy cow! Those took me back! I haven't had onions rings that good in a very long time!“

“I went with my niece. This was the first time I had been there since Gary opened the new place. We had a great time. And Tammy was tending bar when we got there and I hadn't seen her in years. She knew exactly who we were!! I understand Jennifer works there as well and it's been years since I've seen her as well!! So shout out to Gary, Tammy and Jennifer!! I hope I get back soon because we had a great time!!!“

“Where do I start?Everything was fantastic! That is a hard pitch to make, and probably harder for you to catch, but it is 100% legit! The food...authentic and great tasting. The mixed drinks from the bar...spot on and delicious! The service...attentive, friendly and impeccable!I can honestly say, it was the best dining experience I have had in several years. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. They were great! I had a cup of a homemade spinach artichoke soup and it was awesome. I ordered the shepherds pie, and it was the best I have had from any restaurant. The portions were generous, and the food was fantastic.As far as service goes... a big shout out to Jake! He was on top of everything. Friendly attitude, made conversation, had great recommendations, and was just a pleasure to interact with. He made sure we were happy with our food, that we had everything we needed and made us feel like the only customers he had to wait on in a very full restaurant.Every server was hustling and tending to their tables intently. The entire staff was just flowing the night we went in there. Even the bussers, and runners were on top of their game.This was our first time here while traveling through, and I will say that if we are EVER traveling through again, this will be the ONLY stop we will make for food! Like I told the manager, the town is lucky to have them, and I only wish we could be so fortunate as to have a place like theirs nearby to where we live.Bring them your business, enjoy their food and hospitality and you will have a phenomenal dining experience!“

“Great place, especially if you throw darts. Great crowd, Brice the bartender is awesome but be sure to speak slow and very loud he is hard of hearing. His left ear was damaged from a platypus attack. A good story if he is willing to tell it, he didn't fair well in the fight. Also walks with a limp and mouth breathes from a unrelated pet racoon incident, not as good of a story.“

“First time here, to hear Josh Holland acoustic. Cool little bar w/ a good crowd (babes & bikers) & distinct areas to hang out... ie. Bar @ entrance, separate spacious gaming room, little back patio & an enclosed smoking room. Owner was cool too.“

“I stopped off here. The owners had just opened the place. They really did a great job of fixing the place up. Greats sports bar!! Go in and Check them out. Make sure You Like and Follow them on Facebook!!! For all their events. The owners make a really great bowl of Chili!!!“

“This place is my favorite place in town. It’s not just a place to drink. It’s a place for good music. A place where you’re treated as family. A place with “regulars” who are the most kind and welcoming people. I’ve been going here 9 years and NOT ONCE have I had a bad time. I recommend this place to all my friends. Logan, Kevin, Armi, Alisha, Kadi, Demi, Astrid and Tod are some of the beautiful souls you’ll be happy to meet! Go there and enjoy!“

“A dive bar that makes you feel right at home. Heather the bartender (and owner) is attentive, and also funny as "beep"! They sell snacks, but no food. They do have potlucks every once in a while though. They did a Happy "Noon" Year party on the 31st, I unfortunately didn't arrive until later that afternoon, but still had a blast. Several dartboards, and a shuffleboard table are in the back room of the establishment (out one door, into another. Great time overall. Forgot to mention about the two cats that roam freely around the bar“

“Starship is my favorit hang out. They have great food. ( I LOVE the burgers) and I love all the servers. They have quarter tables and by the hour tables to pick from and you can also play darts. We have had some luck in the gaming room too.“
