9 years agoWent for the Friday fish-fry, and was not disappointed! I recommend the fried-mashed potato ball as well.
Jeremy Kohler

Heather Piotrowski
year agoMy name is Heather and I only come to see Heather. It has been a month and a half since I came in there. 1 I was sick and 2 I live in Belvidere Illinois. I told Heather I was going to bring her a big jar of pickles for pickle back. Jessica and I walked in, she saw me and the pickles, I got a big smile. We love Heather. She is the only reason why we drive far to see her Love HP
Devin Heaphy
year agoI come here pretty regularly for the pool and I have to say my favorite bartender (Heather) keeps me coming. Fast, attentive, with a good attitude. I would definitely recommend stopping by to check this place out
Mary Stone
year agoGreat vibes, very friendly people. Sometimes I get uncomfortable going out but it was a very laid back experience. I don't drink alcohol but seemed to have good deals on drinks.
Julie Heeren
year agoStopped in for a drink while visiting Woodstock. Good music, atmosphere, service and lots and lots of lava lamps.

7 years agoThis is such a cool, literally, underground bar. Super hippie: lava lamps and tie-dyed tapestries everywhere. Also every board game known to man. Bartenders are always super sweet. Laid back, not rowdy. Love it!
Geralyn Howard
3 years agoGreat little place ! Amazing music memorabilia covering the walls ! Terrific atmosphere..pool tables ...gaming in the back...many music choices available... Bartenders Christen & Ralph were accommodating as well as entertaining... And you gotta try the pudding shots ...OH YEAH just love all the Lava Lamps too!
Aubree Barker
7 months agoAbsolutely love this spot! While I don't think they serve food, I still have them a 5 out of 5 star rating for having such a vast selection on their spirits!! Their prices ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT! And the overall ambiance of this little dive makes it very inviting!
Brian D
5 months agoHad an awesome experience at the new restaurant Trippy Hippie! Sarah the bartender was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the night even better. The food was fantastic—I got the burger and it was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
