Quintessential mom&pop bar with good brews on draft and the kind of pizza that makes you feel warm and welcome. Live music was setting up, but I had to eat and run. Meat Lovers is excellent.

*update* if you're in town and not trying Budde's pizza, you are missing out. Budde and his family are great people, come and support local owners. Love Budde's! The owners are super friendly and great people to talk to. I go in on Tuesday for Jera's open mic nights, but need to come in earlier for tacos. I order their cauliflower crust pizzas, but their regular pizzas are dynamite, too. Met a lot of good people there.

Great music, atmosphere, and people, and by far the cleanest bar/restaurant I've ever been too. Had a great night with great people. Owner Diane was an amazing soul that I'm blessed to of met, she runs a lovely business and cares about her customers and community. 5 of of 5 stars, if you're in Galesburg I highly recommend stopping in. Might I add the bartender is amazing and makes the best drinks! 😁🩷👌🏻💯
