If you love trying new craft beers, this is the spot for you. The owner is always working passionately to curate a massive tap list with primarily regional options and something for literally everyone. A casual but sleek atmosphere, with board games and darts available. Definitely a must if you love beer, but they also have great cocktails and wine options. Pretzels and pickle fries are not to be skipped. Whether youre feeling like relaxing inside or soaking in the vibes outside the garage door, youre certain to find something (or all the things) to love about this place.

2 stars is generous. Good beer selection, but the bro behind the bar didnt say hello, didnt make eye contact (he had sunglasses on, so maybe my mistake, but doubtful), and only acknowledged my presence by standing in front of me. After a long day of traveling, I asked to see a Food Menu, as the website says there is food. He said we dont do food. Your website says you do, but you dont, and its not posted. Silence...Its probably really nice when you get good service, but I cant say that.

Large selection of craft beer, wine, etc. Great open floor plan and nice atmosphere. Really knowledgeable bartenders. No food, but you can bring in your own.

Excellent whiskey pours at mostly reasonable prices. A lot of these bottles you wont find out in the wild. Good beer list too for those less educated in your party 😁

My wife and I had the Moscow Mule, The Woodsman, Ale Brined Chicken Sliders, and Cinnamon Toast Pretzels. The service was quick and the drinks are pretty good and cheap. The bar food was top notch.

Sixty taps and some of the best staff you will find in the area with an amazing owner who goes the extra distance to offer a selection as good or better than anything youll find anywhere.

Loved the open air feel and 90s music and SATURDAY NIGHT this delicious cocktail blended 2 of my favorite drinks into one perfectly chilled and shaken cocktail: a margarita meets prosecco party in my cup!

This place has some great drinks! I like my whiskey and my beer and they have a great selection of both. The food is pretty yummy. My wife has to have the chicken sliders when we go and I usually go for the giant pretzel or the chicken skewers.Like most bars this place does get busier on Friday and Saturday nights but the openness lets it take on more crowds. Nice open atmosphere that is welcoming for families.

Awesome place. Brandon was great in helping decide on drink. His recommendations with explanation to determine taste style were spot on. Relaxing place to have a drink and play board game or darts.

Great beer selection both on tap and in cans/bottles. In Champaign youre not gonna find a place with better quality of selection. Try this place out!

Review №22

Its fine. Good beer selection, reasonable prices for the area. I cant speak to the food as I didnt try any. Very much feels like a generic, attract millennials, suburban bar. Which is fine. Its probably a good place to bring a diverse group to as it wont offend anyone.

Great atmosphere. Lovely people. Good service. Games and overall good time and place to hang out.

Review №24

Honestly I love the owner to this place, and it pains me to see that they are employing personnel like this young lady that was at the bar today. My mother arrived previously to myself and had been waiting for someone to come to her table. Once I arrived we still did not get served. After 10 minutes we decided to get up and leave and directed our friends not to come upon their arrival. My mother and I have a video of the 3 people at the bar and the other 3 people at their table. The place was completely dead, and the bartender could care less about the individuals in the bar, but clearly to only collect a paycheck. Very sad for this establishment as they have a lot of competition downtown. Very sad.

Great selection of craft beer. Helpful staff (as your poring over the list of beer on tap). Tasty snack food (Ive had the fries and pork sliders). All around nice atmosphere to have a beer and good conversation.

Review №26

The largest draft selection in town, just overwhelming. Somehow even with a selection this big there are usually only a handful of beers I am excited about, but I can always find something and Ive never left disappointed. Most importantly this is the only bar in town that gets Marz beer and for that reason alone they get my business and my recommendation.

Dont leave without getting a bite to eat! Those tacos are delicious. They have a huge pretzel with cheese. Its a great snack with the mega selection of beers. Weve also had the cheese plate with a few glasses of wine. Excellent staff- ask for Aric or Christina. Ive been there with friends, co workers and family- Good times!

Collective Pour is the perfect place for beer lovers with about 60 beers on tap. They are great at finding a beer for any palate with knowledgeable employees and the nicest and most hospitable manager/owner.

The atmosphere is a great place to sit and enjoy quality time with friends. Its not too loud or crowded to where you cant have a decent conversation. The beer selection is huge, the cocktails are awesome, and the food is amazing. The chicken sliders are my favorite.

Review №32

Great (XL) beer list featuring local brews. Kind of a compact space but the design makes it feel bigger. This place will be great for summer nights when they leave the big rollup door open.

Review №33

Great beer selection. Love that you can have sample pours and try several different beers. Setup like an old school beer hall. Love the open windows like in the city that not many places have here.

Review №34

Best beer in town. Loved the layout. Talked with the owner today and he should be damn proud of this establishment. If I opened a beer bar it would be identical. God Speed Collective Pour.

Lots of taps but great staff with good suggestions to help you decide! Had a great time at a bourbon tasting event, I recommend. Their food is more like appetizers, which offset the drinks really well... and they have peirogi!!

To my knowledge, the largest tap count in CU. Lots of seating and open floor plan. Includes a decent number of TVs which is unique when combined with the beer selection. Food wasnt anything special, but is convenient for a long drinking session.

Review №46

My new favorite spot in Champaign. The staff knows their beer. The food was a huge surprise. The chicken sliders are amazing, so was everything else. This place is the best beer bar in Champaign, and I have been to every beer bar in the city. Probably too many times. Absolutely give this place a try if you haven’t yet.

Review №47

All stars are for the beer list, which is epic. The ambiance is lacking. It has a very minimalist sports bar vibe and the high ceilings make the space super loud. Its still new though... Hopefully those things can be mitigated.

Visiting Champagin for business seminar. They have a whole a lot of draft beers, it is a little pricy. Some beer costs more than 9 dollars, which I think it is overpriced considering it is in Champaign.The interior is very modern with good music. Overall it is good beer bar to go.
