Pour Bros. Craft Taproom — Restaurant in Champaign

Outstanding cocktails and the best craft beer selection in the area. Fast service, friendly atmosphere, very clean facilities. You can pour by the ounce on the “Pour Wall”using a card that tracks how much you pour. With 26 taps to chose from i can always find some new and good on tap. They have a lot of fun events going on like Board Game nights with Titan Games, Skeeball league, dart league, Live music, trivia Thursdays, Monday social. They have 3 Skeeball lanes, 2 dart boards, pinball machine, buck hunter. Summer months they have the back patio open for more live music, bags boards, and other fun events like Pups n Pints where people are encouraged to bring their pets and to have a beer with other dog owners. Pour bros doesn’t serve food but are better yet food friendly. So you can bring in or get delivery from your favorite food spot from the area. They accommodate large groups and there is plenty of parking in front of pour bros or across the street in the train...

The self-serve taproom is not a novel concept, but it is executed reasonably well here. Even if one is unfamiliar with the business model, it is still easy to procure a beer card and use the wide selection of taps to enjoy one's libation of choice. If one is not disposed toward beer, there is also a full-service bar.

Despite the benefits of the venue, some issues persist. Acoustics for the building as a whole are subpar - if one wishes to listen to a band or speak with friends, it can be difficult. The beer selection is good, but prices are potentially high per unit volume, and pricing is sometimes unclear if one does not intuitively think in ounces.

Worth checking...

Pour your own beer, wine and seltzers!

We were headed to another local spot but then we saw the tap beer on the wall without a bar in front of it so we had to check it out! Turns out, once you check in at the bar, you get a card that you then take to the taps to activate them and pour as little or as much as you want! And you only pay for what you pour!

There is no food HOWEVER you can bring in or have food delivered to eat there! And they have things to keep you entertained most nights including a Skee-ball league on Thursdays!!! 😮
