the only nice person who works there is the older blonde lady. other than that the bar tenders are extremely creepy and the prices are ridiculous.

Had a great time here while visiting in Springfield. The black & bleu burger was awesome. Fries cooked great. Popcorn was delicious - reminiscent of movie theater style popcorn. Very good drink selection and bartenders very friendly. Will absolutely return next time I’m in town!

If you live in the Southside especially close to Southern View name a better place. I bet you can't. 🤷🏽♂️

I often eat here at lunch, and am never disappointed. The meatloaf, the horse shoes, the wings, the steak salad, the fish, it’s ALL good! BUT Today I had the fried pork chops (Saturday's usual special) for the first time. I think they are the best damn fried pork chops I’ve ever had! I’m not much of a night owl, but they are always hopping at night with loads of great live music and events!

I stumbled across the Curve Inn while passing through Springfield, IL, and what a gem it turned out to be! From the moment I walked in, the place had a welcoming, laid-back vibe—kind of an “Illinois meets Cheers” feel. I half expected to hear someone shout “Norm!” from the corner. It felt like one of those rare bars that instantly makes you feel at home, even if you’re just passing through.
I grabbed a seat at the bar and was immediately greeted by an incredible bartender named Debbie. Before I even got my drink order in, she offered me a free piece of pineapple upside-down cake. That alone would’ve made my night! While enjoying my drink and dessert, I couldn’t help but notice how friendly and tight-knit the place was. Everyone who walked through the door got a warm welcome, and the bartenders knew everyone’s name—and their drink orders—before they even got fully settled in their seats.
Curious, I wandered around a bit and found a full-blown adult playground just outside the patio door. There’s a tiki hut-style bar, dartboards everywhere, a giant Jenga set, a dance floor, and a full stage. It’s easy to imagine this place absolutely buzzing on the weekends with music, dancing, and good vibes all around. It’s the kind of bar that clearly knows how to keep things fun while still maintaining that cozy, neighborhood feel.
Whether you’re a local or just drifting through like I was, do yourself a favor and drop by the Curve Inn. The atmosphere is warm, the drinks are solid, and the staff—especially Debbie—is top notch. This is one of those spots you’ll remember long after your glass is empty.
