Steve's Old Time Tap

I like.

Just had an ultra cheap draft of the Budweiser.  Super cheap, intriguing Mid-West meaty menu.

We might go back for a couple later.

Planning on having lunch there tomorrow before we leave town.

I'll let you know.

Yep, had some lunch there.  Nice lunch time crowd, mildly bustling with locals.  Hardworking ladies behind the bar and grill.  Had a 1/2 pound cheeseburger, my pal a filet mignon burger both served with crispy slaw.  Cheap and good.  Was eyeballing tater tots and fried filet of pork tenderloin.  Next trip through.

This place is your classic dive bar, but in a good way!

This is the type of place that you can eat in-shell peanuts and throw your shells on the floor. They have pretty cheap drinks and free popcorn and peanuts. You can't go wrong with any of that!

There are several TVs, a couple game machines, and jukebox. They have a grill where they can whip a pretty solid menu of your classic bar food. I'm a big fan of their bacon cheeseburger and their mini tacos. They make their own tortilla chips, which are very very tasty.

Bartenders are friendly and talkative.

The bathrooms leave a bit to be desired, but I suppose they fit the style of the place quite well.

All in all, it's a solid choice for having some drinks with friends.

Stepping into IL, the people are friendlier. Hawkeyes are nice, but there's something different about being east of the Mississippi.

Grab a PBR in bottle form and make small talk with the locals. Buy one of them a beer for wearing a Jeff Gordon cap and she may offer you a pinch of chewing tobacco.  
Now, I am just kicking myself for not offering to buy her a tub of Skol or Timberwolf and seeing if I can get my hands out of that semi-mullet she had going.
