Again, any help in getting the word out I would really appreciate. Thanks!

Sounds awesome.

Johnny's Sidebar is by far one of the greatest new places I've been too. Can't wait to make it back.

I live in collinsville and i have never been there-what is it like?

Any other good beers minus the ones mentioned in the previous post?

This place is stocked with great beers. Walk in and look at the menu...all will be good.
