Sweet Boy's Neighborhood Bar

I’m from Wisconsin and we went to a few bars in the area of sweet boys and this bar was my favorite of all we ended up going in there three different times in one night. I think we had at least two different bartenders and both of them were awesome. The atmosphere was great and the drinks were reasonable. definitely going in there again when we go back to Springfield

Wish they had more pinball! They did have (5-Sep-25) one machine with the sound turned off, or too low to hear. Terminator T3, cost $1/game, which is pricy for a 2003 pin. Cool hang out, had a DJ, they serve to non alcohol beer, and I saw some dudes doing push ups…pretty sure their beer was the alcohol variety 🤣

Definitely a grunge bar not for me. The bar tender cursed like a sailor and seemed to have a bipolar behavior

Well it was my first time there I'm really like it is big I mean it's long and back to the back is a cool little room as a coucher and some game tables and stuff So yeah it's a really cool place to go it's it was I think Friday night and I was pouring down rain so we set that front window just watched everybody walk by in the rain but yeah I really like the place cuz it wasn't bad full of people and that's probably cuz it was Friday night earlier and it was raining cuz I had to drive back to Joplin Missouri me and my buddies two of them But yeah it's a great place oh yes in the bartender he was such a sweet boy He made the best Greyhound I have ever had I have been drinking Greyhound since the early '80s in the bars So stopping that queer bar you'll enjoy it and get a Greyhound baby.

What happened to all the awesome pinball machines?! There is now a tired tiki bar of some sort with no life. Bring back pinball! Springfield needs more pinball. That's all. Love the place otherwise.

I will be contacting management. We are on vacation and looking to move to MO. One 6 the places considered was close to Springfield. We found this bar on our adventures today and the bartendars were friendly and made excellent drinks. Iyv"was" our favorite. We go to exit and the "gatekeepers", two males at the entrance told my husband to enjoy his DUI. First of all, we are responsible drinkers and always Uber. Second of all, that absolutely ruined our evening and was uncalled for. I spoke with them and they denied their behavior. Its inexcusable. Not only is that disrespectful, but if you own an establishment and your employees know that you are over serving and the normal outcome is a DUI, there is definitely a problem in multiple levels of your business. Where we thought might be a regular stop in the future, will never be on our stop again.

Awesome day time bartender. We asked for tequila drinks and he went to work.

Chill place to relax during the day. Great music. People coming and going. And ghosts everywhere.

Don’t go in the bathroom. There’s no mirror and that may shock you, woman, man, other, whatever.

And don’t wear silver. Vampires.

pinball is free, beers are cheap, conversation is entertaining, staff is direct and generous, would recommend

Chill vibes, great drinks

This bar is not for everyone. It is very dark, lots of graffiti, and holes in the walls. The bartender was very nice and he is the only reason I gave this bar two stars instead of one. I wouldn't recommend this bar unless all the surrounding bats were closed and you needed booze. This bar reminds me of a college bar basement. Good luck to the Sweet Boy's.

Great Local hangout downtown. They have great drink options. The mural on the wall is amazing if you are a movie buff. Everyone that comes in is there for a chill laid back vibe.
