Pub II

I hate the Pub. I realize that my status as an Illinois State alum is in direct conflict with my dislike for this establishment, but I'm okay with that.  
The Pub prides itself on the fact that it was once one of Playboy's top college bars... except that was in the 80s and nothing has changed since. The same people who frequented the bar then are still coming now, and bringing their children along to enjoy the same sub-par food.
This Saturday we went in around 12:45 to have some lunch. The group I went with was craving cheese balls (which can be found at just about any other place in Uptown Normal for half the hassle of having to go here) and some bar food. It took our waitress 25 minutes of us sitting there to even acknowledge that we were there to be waited on. In the meantime, she was able to bus a table, stare at the tv, and bring multiple drinks and items to other tables.
After placing our order, we proceeded to wait another 45 minutes to receive our food, during which time our waitress ignored our table completely and went out of her way to not walk past us at all. When we received our food, it was room temperature at best. It took another 20 minutes to get our check, and no apology was offered about the lateness and overall lack of service. Meanwhile one of rocket scientists that work at the Pub must have been sitting on the remote control and repeatedly turned the X-Games coverage volume up enough to further ruin everyone's experience.
If you want indifferent service provided by students who would have been better off sleeping away their hangovers, the Pub is your place to go. Overpriced and low quality drinks, and lukewarm food. Doesn't get much worse than that. My expectations for the Pub are literally as low as it could get, but this experience definitely lowered the bar even more.

Typically end up in fights with the cooks- they are wannabe hard asses that like to drink in the beer garden after the kitchen closes. Bouncers are on their side typically (but not always) so basically if you want to get bitched at for ordering food within 20 mins of the kitchen closing then go here- be ready for fisticuffs in the beer garden- cooks are wusses but the bouncers are not to be messed with. Other than that food is good, cheap  beer, what else you need?

good food cheap beer not for those who like quiet time. Don't go on Thursday Friday Saturday or Sunday. Lots of Collage kids
