Best WLM Reviews

Stunningly beautiful historic bar. Service was outstanding and the bartender was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the establishment.
Service is great, cordial and speedy, atmosphere is great as it's an old building and they even offer succinct cards of the history of the building. However if you came for the chairs, the chairs are horrible. The one I claimed wouldn't turn left. It would spin right but not left. I recommend this place to anyone who likes speedy drinks, a staff that interacts with you, and an atmosphere with a rich history. However if you came for the chairs like me, it may leave you dissapointed. Overall great place will come back for a different chair.
I love the antique vibe you get when you walk through the door. A little bummed they didn't carry cider boys but I'll never turn down some crisp refreshing Busch lattes. The indoor/outdoor bar area is pretty sweet. 2 pools tables, darts, and enough seating to gather the crew for a real good time. Plus they have an extra out door seating area. I'm sure I'll be here many times in the near future
Great little literal hole in the wall. The inside bar is decent and it has an outdoor heated area for smokers. Do not go there expecting nice things. The bartender is usually very nice and the drinks are well made. You can have a good time here if you are not expecting a modern establishment which can be said about 85% of the bars here in town.
Since I am a smoker it is one of my preferred establishments.
Went there for the first time. The bartender was absolutely disgusting. She was racist, out right talking about Hispanic people and how much she “hates them”. Super unprofessional. And it’s sad because it’s a cute place but I’ll never ever be coming back. Hope you get fired.
Love this place!! It's really a nice piece of Illinois history. Staff is always friendly. The inside is a sight to be seen. If you're visiting Ottawa come check it out.
Not sure if it's under new ownership.. but went here in October of 17.. lots of bums that the police kept chasing out, 5x in 3 hrs. The pool table outdoors was nice. Had no food, small drink list. Afraid to leave even when we had a ride because of the police presence following every patron there. Hope they straightened that out.
Cool place with a friendly bartender and nice selection of IPAs
