Bloom Wine Bar & Florals Bar • $$
2 S Old State Capitol Plaza, Springfield

“We held a bridal shower here and Bloom exceeded all our expectations! The space itself is stunning- even prettier in person than in the photos. Our food and beverages were displayed beautifully, served in a timely manner, and most importantly it all tasted amazing! The staff were friendly, accommodating, and they made the entire process an absolute breeze. The floral bar was the perfect activity and favor for our guests to take home with them. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the space and would not hesitate to book another event here!“

Meat Pizza

“We saw Jamie’s Route 66 getting off the highway to go to a different bar, and I immediately noticed the packed parking lot and bright lights outside on a Monday. I told my boyfriend, well, if the bar we’re going to sucks, we can always go there.

That’s exactly what we ended up doing and it was the best decision we could’ve made. Jamie was behind the bar and was so friendly, welcoming, and social. We were coming from a long drive, and she recommended the pizza which hit the spot.

Everyone knows her by name, and she knows everyone’s names too. She heard we were from Chicago and immediately introduced us to the people next to us who had Chicago connections. We ended up talking to them all night.

If you want great bar pizza, great conversation, great deals, and great bartenders, then Jamie’s Route 66 is the spot to go !!!“

Goodfellas Pub Bar • $
518 Bruns Ln, Springfield

“Someone said the comedy show was racist.. YET they used the term circus.. which is Diabolical and kinda racist… Do circuses not entertain… As a black woman I am A LOT of things… loving… caring… unprotected AND educated… ABSOLUTELY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY… racist Not even a lil!!!

Racism was at the core of North American slavery and the colonization and empire-building activities of western Europeans.
The notion of biological race has been recognized as a cultural invention, entirely without scientific basis.
Racism involves one group having the power to carry out systematic discrimination through the institutional policies and practices of the society.“

“Hi, Greetings to owners of Mac’s Lounge. This is the daughter of the man that previously owned 13th and Cook. It was my father Leo B Saner who owned ‘Saner’s tavern’ and his father before him. I have so many fond memories of my dad’s tavern. We lived locally on S. 14th street and his brother and his family lived in the house that was connected and accessible from the tavern. I’m so happy to see that it still exists and I think it’s really neat what you have done with it. I live in Washington state but come there to visit friends and family that still live there. If and when I visit, I’d love to come and enjoy your reinvented and updated cool venue for your community to enjoy. I’d love to hear from you if you’d like. Best wishes, Tina (Saner) Symon.“

We had both dessert options available, the cheesecake and brownie sundae (pictured) which were sooo good! Also, I highly recommend the horseshoe (available with different meat options) it was a hit. Everyone at my table was eating it! And the wings, mouth watering and delicious! I could go on and on but I'll stop here. Go and try it for yourself!
