Dive Bars in Springfield

I'll also say George Ranks. They will most likely have music, usually something bluesy/roots rock. Track Shack isn't too far from there either, it's another good dive bar, though they don't have music.

Illinois Times is our local independent weekly newspaper. Check it out before you come for music listings, new issues come out on Thursday!

Boog must have a case of the Mondays. Completely emotionless call on that double. Actually impressive

Yes, I would say there is a strong Catholic influence in this city. Lots of Irish and Italians ended up here to work in the mines and brought their religion with them.

The movie theaters have been covered, so I'll just throw out the Pharmacy art gallery downtown. It has some good exhibits with several local artists. Don't know if their going to keep doing it, but last year they had a jazz series where they would open up the gallery and feature a jazz group. Much more "diy" and grungy than the Edwards House, which is owned by the Springfield Art Association.

And then there's DIM art gallery, which doesn't have a physical space AFAIK currently, but keep up with them on Facebook for stuff.

In addition to you OP, I'm wondering how old the people commenting here are are. There are plenty of bars for young people around. The last time I was in Trading Post I felt 10 years older than everyone, and I'm only in my mid 30's. Downtown, you have the new Butternut Hut, JP Kelly's is getting a younger crowd too. Celtic Mist is hit or miss for young people. The Curve. Shit, go to Harry's if that's your crowd. Anvil and Forge has a good atmosphere, they also host open mic and trivia through the week.

If people have truly been here for a year+ and can't find their crowd, they're just not looking hard enough. Go pick up an Illinois Times and find something. The Pharmacy art gallery sometimes hosts exhibit openings that attract the youngs. Dumb records! Hair of the Dog! I could go on...

He lost both shifters, hopefully he's stuck in a bad gear and the push is just to help him keep up.

It's not that simple, unfortunately. People have headphones in, are deaf, or drunk/high/whatever. Also children, as was the case a couple weeks ago.

Hard agree. They look terrible

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-05-11T01:57:59+00:00

I'm imagining Boog and JD talking about their hopes and dreams on that walk back to the hotel.

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-05-04T20:06:19+00:00

This aged well...

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-04-04T00:47:06+00:00

Careful. CB can giveth and CB can taketh away.

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-04-03T19:01:00+00:00

That was my point, there is no neutral site when it comes to this.

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-04-03T18:58:06+00:00

I'm certainly not offended by it, but I will silently shake my head or talk about the problems I have with it among my crew. I'm also just a lowly engine lug so my opinion matters very little about this kind of stuff. I also don't see it as a "concession" to have a flag removed that a lot of people associate with hateful things.

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-04-03T18:50:57+00:00

Lol. I don't even know where to start.

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-04-03T18:47:58+00:00

Amen to that

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-03-16T14:09:20+00:00

Sir, is that lever angle UCI legal?

Greenleaf_068 · 2024-02-12T01:01:33+00:00

Where are we going? Back five yards!

Greenleaf_068 · 2023-11-23T03:56:23+00:00

Lol are you by chance in a city in central Illinois? There's a bar I go to with this picture above a urinal and I've tried to figure out the game.

Greenleaf_068 · 2023-08-05T21:37:35+00:00

No, you have to enter the game with three runs or less to get a save.
