Throwback II Sports Bar & Grill

Reviews & Tips

  Whether they realize it or not, they're all in your face about being small town, podunk and white. All you need to see is the little sectioned off area with an early model flat screen TV sitting on a small stand, and some couches people were probably going to throw away. VIP area for the hill people, anyone? I bet they do bottle service....that bottle being a jug with three "x's" on it while you watch NASCAR.
  
  The only funnier thing I witnessed was my friend asking the bartender if they had a beer menu. Beer menu? At this bar? It showed a lot of restraint on behalf of the regulars not to blurt out "yew ain't at wonna yurr fanceh Shee-cawgo bars lady!"
  
  At least this bar didn't have a sign outside the door saying "no colors" like the one across the street. Since I highly doubt this area has a problem with gangs, I'm lead to believe it meant colored people and not wardrobe. No, this bar doesn't discriminate, so they have that going for them. They also have cheap beer and unintentional entertainment value.
  
  Thankfully I wasn't looking for anything more.

  Pretty sure while I was being a jerk*, I was being laughed at.  That's cool.  I was laughing at this bar anyhow.  
  
  3 coronas & 3 modelos = $14
  
  I accept!
  
  There's a ping pong table (which I'm pretty sure is used for beer pong, because, c'mon, it's Peotone!) and, well that's about all I saw.  Some funny little area in front.  We called it the VIP area, and sadly, I feel like we're probably right.  Maybe we're not.  Maybe it's just a small awkward space to gather with dudes to pretend you're at home watching a game, but I'm still betting it's their VIP area, since they have some VIP text thing or something.
  
  I wanted to go to a bar in downtown Peotone, haha..downtown, and I didn't want to go alone and I NEVER want to go with cousins, so this seemed like the best bet.  Actually, it was our 2nd choice.  Still, it was probably the best.  The bartenders were actually really nice, so I should stop hating butttttt, I've spent enough time in Peotone, so, it comes naturally.
  
  *I miiiight have been laughing at their VIP area.

  Talkin bout some tall PBR's for like $2.25, usually shot specials too.  This is a large bar in a small old downtown.  They say it's a sports bar, but really it is just a bar with a bunch of larger tvs, pool table and assorted video games.  I usually pee here when we ride to Peotone as the potty at Suzy's next door is highly suspect for super nastiness, and this bathroom looks like it could be in Martha Stewart's summer house.
