Hound's Rest — Restaurant in Champaign

BEWARE, there are two Blind Pigs, one block apart!!

For some reason, when you type "blind pig" into Google maps, only this one shows up, not both. Which is weird, anything with similar names to your search usually is fair game in maps... so I went to the wrong one when trying to meet friends haha.

Also on Fridays they have a loud obnoxious DJ that plays music but nobody seems to ever come there.. in short limited drink knowledge and prohibitively expensive for...

I spent my college years living in a punk rock house that had 5 screaming rowdy bands rehearsing every day of the week with many house shows sprinkled in-between. The Big Pig and Little Pig as the locals call them, were my escape from the fuzzy noise drenched bungalow we were living in. Walking in, you get transported to a European pub with some of the best and funniest faces from the town drinking the best selection of brew-ha's. It's guaranteed you'll be able to step in on a game of darts and make some new friends along the way. Ask about Whisky Club if you're feeling really adventurous and check out the plaque in the back that pays homage to some of the best and dedicated...
