One of the best bars in Alton as far as I'm concerned. Probably the cleanest too.

Wow is their draft beer ice cold and the bartender was a good gal to chat with. I was a stranger in this local bar and was welcomed with open arms. If domestic beer (draft) isn't your thing they have craft in bottle.

If you haven't experienced the London Band on Sunday night's, you're really missing out! I had flashbacks to listening to blues at Bob's Blues and Soups in St.Louis! John on lead guitar is phenomenal, and Jay Christopher is one of the most under-rated guitar players in this area! Plus, the atmosphere is a little more grown-up for us "mature" (ok, old! lol!) folks! Mike is a great host, and Julie the bartender keeps everyone in line, as well as serving great drinks! I highly recommend going and enjoying an evening!

Wonderful hometown local bar. Owner was behind the bar and giving us history lessons for buildings we were asking about. Nice meeting you!
