Sweet Boy's Neighborhood Bar

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.

Original menu, fun vibe, arcade machines in the back. Great place!

The bartender was cool, but she was limited by the owners inability to stock the bar. They didn't even have ingredients to make the drinks that I tried to order off of their drink menu. The bathroom was sketchy to say the least. FYI to the owners: it looks like maybe a can of paint and some cheap wall spackle would help a lot. When I did ask for a drink menu, the bartender had to peal the menus apart because they were stuck together. Gross! This place could have been really kind of neat had they used some soap and water every now and again, and if the bathrooms didn't look like maybe you might be the next victim for whatever goes on in this filthy room...you literally could let you imagine run free from how uncomfortable you feel in there. I am giving 2 stars and that is only because the bartender was nice and you could tell she was limited by the environment and the condition of the bar.

Dive-style neighborhood bar with a patio, pinball and arcade games, and cheap beer as well as high end liquor. One of those places you just find yourself at and can't remember how you got there.

This is a great bar for cheap drinks and free pinball. The few times I've been here it hasn't been too busy.

Nice bartenders. Just a cool little spot down by the square to grab a drink.
