Bars near Ranson

“Great place to relax and have a beer or two, great staff, great service, the bartenders are always friendly, professional staff. The cost of a drink is very affordable, meaning for a few dollars you can get a beer or a drink, instead of spending 8 to 12 dollars on a drink in a typical chain or the casino for example.“

“Popped in here on a whim on a Friday night after dinner. It's a hole in a wall joint right next to Hollywood Casino. We've seen it several times and there are always lots of cars parked out front. Since it's located in Jefferson County and there are slot machines inside, you have to be 21+ to enter and they allow smoking inside. They have corn hole boards setup inside, a pool table, and slot machines as well as a decent sized FULL bar. They serve food, although we didn't eat or look at the menu. They have a jukebox available to play. The bartenders were SUPER nice and very welcoming. The prices are GREAT - especially on Fridays for ladies night. We had a great time chatting with the locals - it's a laid back, no judgement zone, chill atmosphere. We would definitely go back!“

“This bar is the equivalent of "Cheers". Everyone knows everyone. The bartenders are the best. The vibe is positive. The food is awesome. You must check this place out. The owner has a heart of gold and does so much for the community. Support local!“

“We live a few miles away and we've enjoyed several French restaurants in this building for almost two decades. The current owners have truly outdone all the prior owners. This is not the first time we've been here under current management, but last night was the best experience ever!My husband and I enjoyed (a split portion of) the soup of the day, chicken soup with lots of vegetables, followed by the Norwegian salmon. Every component was beautifully cooked - my husband's medium and my medium-rare were perfect with skin so crunchy my husband didn't even remove it; the asparagus was cooked al dente as it should be, the mashed potatoes were tasty, and the ravigote sauce provided the perfect acidic counterpoint. Last but not least, our espresso martinis were great - perfect choice of cinnamon variety and amount.Our server, Taylor, was personable and professional, and made sure that food and drinks were served promptly and as ordered.As someone with a gluten intolerance, I was grateful that Taylor gave me choices and placed the GF bread order early enough that it arrived together with the regular bread. For the first time ever in this restaurant, my husband and I were able to share the three different kinds of butters without my having to beg him to save some for me! (Note: he rarely eats butter.) The kitchen and the front (including the Maitre d' - sorry I didn't ask his name) did an outstanding job last night!Strongly recommended!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-intolerant friendly“

“Unfortunately after many years the business has permanently closed while the state widens the road. Loved meeting friends regularly at the Rainbow Diner on Saturday mornings for breakfast. Good food, and great service. Stopped one last time the last day they were open on March 30, 2024. It was a sad day.“

“Great sports dive bar!The sports atmosphere is great, they have several TVs, good beer selection, GREAT food, and awesome prices. We've been here a few times on a Saturday and finally came in for NFL Sunday. They have NFL ticket and will show every game being televised. The wings are some of the best in the area. Burgers are great, too. I think this is our new favorite go to for sports viewing!“

“My wife and I were in town for a weekend away. We made reservations for a Friday night and were not disappointed! Scott was the supreme host/waiter/bartender. The atmosphere was eclectic and cozy. Drinks were superb, food was delicious and fresh, and as a bonus, the prices are VERY reasonable. You won't be disappointed!“

“Walked in after a long day of driving, met with a smile and friendly greeting! Let me park for the night with no charge and was an amazing atmosphere. The in house cut chips were amazing and my only complaint would be the chicken on the sandwich, still good, but real in house breaded chicken would be better. A must visit for anyone!“

“Attended the St. Patrick's Day Masters of Comedy Show. While the show/substance itself wasn't actually all that great (2 out of 5 comedians made me laugh), the food at the bar and grille was Fantastic! Everything was hot and fresh and the portion sizes were more than we could eat! Bartenders were busy but did a great job. Thanks for a great meal and a reason to visit! Wouldn't have found this place if it weren't for them advertising the show (we just came to visit the area, are not locals).“
