Nella was perfect behind the bar, and Justin K was awesome at the door. Not only did her ensure there were no issues, he also participated in karaoke and was amazing singing it

I love coming to this bar. They have some of the nicest employees and make you feel very welcome. Nella behind the bar is the nicest person you could ever meet! Definitely recommend their cheese balls and fish sandwich!

I had a terrible experience with the bouncer. Tonight I was out with a group of friends, and the bouncer decided to come and talk badly to us about other customers. When I said that I thought that was rude, he told me I was rude and said I wouldn’t be let into the bar for a long time. Many customers tonight were disgusted with him and I would not recommend this bar because of the bouncer to anyone. DO NOT GO HERE. They are RUDE!

When I was struck by 2006 Honda Civics on the streets of Normal IL on a cold day, 7:38 A.M. October 21st 1993, I thought I would never feel my toes again. My left hipbone was found in the next town over, and my Medulla Oblongata was shattered. I crawled into Lunkers and I found Peace. The grape leaves, more exquisite than the finest ambrosia upon Mount Olympus. The Bavarian beer battered Cod more refreshing than a cool sip of water in the Sahara. When I had my first repast at Lunkers after 7 months of agony and madness, I was instantly healed. All injuries faded away and I was surrounded by a glowing aura. Angels were singing at karaoke, and their golden and honied voices resounded in my empty head, healing my brain damage. When I awoke, expecting another day of despair and pain, I felt only enlightenment and peace. After 5 long years of eating only Lunkers and sleeping on top of 4 barstools, I decided to leave and pursue peace accords with the Civics. I had pondered why they would possibly want to cripple me and leave me on the fine pavement of Normal Illinois for 6 months, 29 days, 3 hours, 48 minutes, and 7 seconds, and was unable to rationalize why they would do such an awful and evil thing, but I was willing to find them and make any amends necessary. How foolish and naïve was I; what utter foolishness pervaded in my head, invading my mental sanctuary that knew my God given fate laid inside the golden gates of this heavenly restaurant. Why would I leave Lunkers? My only sanctuary and true friend in the world. When I stepped outside of the Hallowed ground of Lunkers, I felt all of the blood and other fluids drain from my body. The Civics, they were waiting. They could not pierce the protective shell of Lunkers, for it was Holy. It was their antithesis, their doom. As I became vulnerable and submissive, they struck quickly, bypassing my instinctual guard and barriers. I was defeated in seconds as they executed a perfect Civic Crush on my torso, killing me instantly. I write this to you, my children, from the 9th circle of Hell. Do not ever leave Lunkers, for leaving the one who protects you is a monumental insult that can only be repaid in karmic retribution.

Fabulous Fish Sandwich and Corn Nuggets! Friendly and Speedy Service! Five Stars!
First time there. A decent bar with standard fare on the menu. I had the Pepper Jack Cheese Poppers as an appetizer, & the half fish platter with fries for the meal. Everything was well cooked. The fried fish could've used some spices. Overall, it was a good meal.

Favorite bar in town. Karaoke is a blast on Saturday night. The "Lunker" fish sandwich will fill your belly. There are a lot of bottled beers and a really good tap, and you can't beat their prices anywhere in town. If you want to drink beer, this is the place to go.
