Bars near Winnebago

“Last night was our fourth time visiting this location and it never disappoints!! The food is always good, the beer is always cold and the service was spectacular!! 5/5. Also, our son loves the smash burgers so much. Last night he "smashed" a double!“

“I stopped by to have a soda and to grab an application for a job , looked at the menuTo familiarize myself because I’m a cook, I decided to order the corn beef sandwich, I’ve always said you know a restaurant makes good food if the corn beef sandwiches are good, i was very impressed with it . Will definitely be back , excellent service and place is very clean . Definitely a hidden gem in pecatonica , a must stop if you’re hungry.“

“Great place and even better bartenders.. We come here for affordable drinks poured on the heavy side. Love the atmosphere and the people who are here are always fun to drink with. Never had a bad experience here but always end up with a story to tell.“

“Happy 5th anniversary Hot Rod Nelly's 2- 4-2023 great locally owned place and kid friendly till 8pm great pizza and atmosphere as well oh did I mention they have live music any plenty of parking too.Stop in and try a pizza. You would pay triple or more in Chicago for the same experience“

“Sat out at the beer garden, had a Samuel Adams and a couple of $1.00 tacos, the fire was going, nice and peaceful, started to get a little warm out so my friend and I went in where the air was on, chatted with a couple bikers that stopped by for a pop, visited with bartender Staci, such a sweet gal, had a pleasant stop, granted the bar gets a little "wilder" during the evening hours, but during the day usually just us old vintage players drop in“

“For a small town bar, this place is pretty cool. They have a huge bar, gaming room (of course), plenty of seating, and a gated concrete slab for outdoor seating, music, and a game of bags! Plus, the staff was cool as hell. Can you ask for more than that?“

“Food is far above expectation for Ogle Co. Dining . Service is fabulous. Downfall is that we have never eaten here and not had super wasted obnoxious beer drinking idiots playing pool. Seems like a bad business plan to drive away people spending lots of money on food for a bunch of people that drive customers away. The pool table is inconveniently placed by the front door so you have to walk awkwardly around a crowd of inebriated fools to get to your table. Every time we have come here people just get up and leave due to the rowdy folks blocking the front door and the access to the gaming machines. That being said. The food and the service (truly a rare find in these parts) outweigh the cons for our family.Kid-friendliness: I would not recommend bringing small children here. At all. My kids are big boys and not sheltered. Normal children would not fare well in this environment.“

“There are several bars in Byron, all within several feet of each other. With that said Uptown is the unique one. It has a bowling alley. Also they tend to go off road with their food. The have unique twist on regular restaurant and bar food. They are like the Burger King in the sea of McDonald's. You have to go there at times to break the monotony.“
