I freaking love this place with my whole heart. Never met a group of employees so dedicated to their jobs. Best thing I’ve ever done was walking in those doors.

I'm just rating the food because I don't drink. Because this is a bar, I would've never thought to eat there. Interestingly enough I now realize their food might be a local best kept secret. I preface this with saying that it is bar food. With that being said, it's some GREAT bar food. Wings are decent, but nothing spectacular. The pizza is absolutely great! Fridays they have $8 large one topping pizzas, and the combination of the great tasting pizza and that price makes this one of the best pizza options on campus. They have other daily food specials I would like to try out too. Most recently I had their burgers. I was pleasantly surprised at how huge the burgers are, and mine were cooked to perfection with fresh toppings as well. I was also surprised by the somewhat lacking amount of fries that came with the burgers, but the fries at least tasted great. The recent remodel is really nice, and the place is nice and clean too. Checkout the food; you too might be pleasantly surprised. Matthew 7:12

Looks good now. Big rebuild from 40 years ago! They still have the Mug Club.

Well I have to put my review in context, my dad and I wanted to go down and check it out, but were completely oblivious that they were playing Wisconsin at home(Our faults yes). So parking was a challenge, we drove around the block like twice and than actually found a really great spot about a block and a half away. Bring coins or get the App on your phone, us old dummies asked a group of students if they had some change and they didn't but one of the girls was nice enough to add time on the app on here phone, so we were set. We were able to get good seating but on game day it is a whole different scenario, you have to order at the bar and there is a very limited menu. This is still a cool place and the staff was great, just don't be dummies like us. I would definitely try this place again on a off night. Also be aware of the parking issue because you are on campus and it is like all meter parking and permit parking.

I wasn't big into the Inn before they renovated, and I am still not super impressed with it now. The service wasn't great even early in the evening when they weren't busy. The bartenders all seemed more interested in talking to each other and their friends at the bar than serving other costumers.

Security ripped my friends chair out from under him, threw him against the door, and yanked him out of the bar for dropping his empty cup on the ground. No warning we’re said or signs posted. Asked the same security guard a few minutes later where the garbage cans were and he said there weren’t any.

Bartender and staff were super friendly. Pizza was very good and reasonably priced. Only negative is its a bar so it's a little loud for my tastes. Very positive experience

Went with a group after a basketball game, and everyone had a great time. The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and were always helpful.
Go and enjoy, cheers.

Pricing was surprisingly fair but staff was rude and inpatient. You don't even get to keep the cheap plastic mug when you join mug club. I recommend any other bar in downtown Champaign if you want to join a real mug club.
Does this bellong to you?
