Need a sports bar in Champaign off of I-57
-
Post #1 - August 8th, 2012, 1:07 pmI'm going to be driving through Champaign tomorrow about the same time as the US Women's Olympic soccer game and I'd like to find a bar that's reasonably close to I-57 that has decent food and TVs so that I can watch the game before continuing downstate. Any suggestions? I'm hoping there's some U of I grads on this forum who can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Post #2 - August 8th, 2012, 2:44 pmNothing in Champaign/Urbana is that far from the expressway, so don't let that limit you.
Jupiter's Pizza (two locations - decent thin crust pizza)

Guidos - fairly standard sports bar/grill in downtown Champaign.
2 East Main Street, Champaign, IL
(217) 359-3148
Desthil (Nice brewery with decent food. The bar area has TVs.)
301 North Neil Street, Champaign, IL
(217) 356-0301

Unfortunately, the best sports bar in town, Jillian's, closed.

Post #3 - August 9th, 2012, 8:05 amI'd suggest Huber's - a neighborhood joint with good pub grub, lots of TV's and ice-cold Old Style on tap*:
1312 West Church Street
Champaign, IL 61821
(217) 352-0606
Not too far from I-57 either. Exit University Avenue and head toward downtown, left at Sabin or Russell (two N/S streets on either side of a park) one block north and look for Hubers across from the NW corner of the park. To get back to I-57, head west on Church and look for the signs.
*for Chicagoans ice-cold Old Style on tap might be everyday - for me it's a special treat

Post #4 - August 11th, 2012, 10:37 pmShoot...we were closed an on a Mission trip in Nicaragua or I would have bought you lunch at our place. Yeah, about 15 minutes off of I57, but down here we know you should be running on Rt 47 anyway! Next time!D.G. Sullivan's, "we're a little bit Irish, and a whole lot of fun"!
