Roper's Regal Beagle Sports Bar and Grill

It's not a bad place. Their patio is a nice place to hang out and drink a few brews with friends. I had the pizza here once, and it was pretty good. I have to say, though, that I don't come here very often when I'm in Alton/Godfrey because of how it's been like a high school reunion with the people you liked least.

If you're in your 20s and went to Alton High, and you come on a Friday or Saturday, chances are you're going to run into one of those douchebags you hated growing up. For that reason - the clientele - I'm giving it three instead of 4 stars.

This is a great place to watch sporting events being as they have TVs everywhere you look.  There is a large projector on the inside that is a bit outdated, but if you don't mind the not HD it serves its purpose.  For football they have a wall that is nothing but TVs so you can watch every game at once (Big plus for Fantasy Football Team Players).  The food is good.  The portions are huge.  Almost anything you order can be shared.  The bartenders are fast and make a great drink.  My only complaint is that it seems there are no real sections for servers.  They seem to be working both inside and outside, so the service sometimes lacks if you are seated at a table.  All and all a great place to go!

The best soup & salad bar around!  Six different soups to choose from & every one of them is delicious!
