Whenever I'm hanging out with my friends in Sycamore, going to this townie bar is a must!
I like the low-key atmosphere. Â It definitely has a dive bar atmosphere, but that's part of its charm. Â The crowd is a nice mix of locals of all ages. Â I also like that the drink prices aren't outrageous and as many have mention... they've got shuffleboard! (A must every time we visit!)
Townie dive bars are required to have bartenders with personality  - it's what makes dealing with all the creeps worth while.
With the departure of the best bartender in the world there is not much reason left to visit this dive.
There are better bars and better service. It's probably not worth your time unless you are looking to be hit on by a 40+ townie destined to be sitting in the exact same seat 20 years from now hitting on whatever is sitting next to it.
I agree with one of the reviewers below. Best dive bar in town! However, we only go when Ulpac is working. He is an amazing bartender and makes the best drinks! The shuffleboard is a blast and a nice change of pace from your typical bar games such as pool, darts etc... I also love the jukebox!
Review Source:Cub n Spanks is a great little townie bar. It's actually my favorite in Sycamore.
There is plenty to do here from shuffleboard to golden tee. The bathrooms are clean and the drinks are strong; how they accomplish this, I'm not sure. Overall the crowd is a good mix of older townies and people in their late 20's to early 30's
Opat and Tracy are seasoned bartenders and are always friendly.
If you are looking for a place to get good drinks and converse with friends, Cub n Spanks has it all.
they got shuffleboard GAME! Â not the retirement home kind but the drunk kind you play with the townie un-MILFs. Â so...kinda' the retirement home kind. Â

Good mix of folks from the guy doing Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage impressions to 21 y.o. NIU chicks.
