Champaign is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Champaign follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

The bartender was terrific! I'm from out of state and he was nice! We only had fried pickles and tater tots, but my first time ever having fried pickles and I loved them. I'm sensitive to grease and they weren't at all!

If you are looking for a casual spot to host a party, look no further! Jessika at Esquire was beyond amazing to work with. Jessika made it so planning our party was stress free and easy. We had plenty of dedicated staff who worked hard to ensure that our guests were taken care of. One of the owners was also around to help. We had 136 guests who all thought it was a great party. The only thing to consider is that there was sometimes a wait for the food to be replenished. I happened into be feeding lots of college boys who ate a lot. People were patient and we had plenty of food but if everyone arrives at once, it might require a little patience. Having said that - I would 100% host another event at Esquire and feel 1000% comfortable recommending the venue for anyone needing a casual space.

Esquire Lounge is a fantastic spot with plenty of seating and a decent-sized bar that caters to all kinds of drinks. I had a Gin and Tonic and my friend had the LIITsβ€”both were delicious and definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol content! The atmosphere is pleasant, the drinks are very affordable, and you can rent a pool table for just $6 an hour, which is a solid deal. Highly recommend!

Great if you like thin crust pizzas. Pizzas lacking flavor though. Had pear walnut goat cheese pizza that was honestly the worse (need more sweetness cud due with acid like fig jam or balsamic vinegar). They rent out space as well (shud put some signs out) so cudnt play any billiards . Servers were very nice and attentive. Tables and menu and everything sticky so they need to clean properly. But legit dive bar to hang. Not recommended for nice date nights. Mocktail Drinks were very tasty though. Friends pineapple tequila was very strong but worth $.

Lots of space with plenty of seating and bar access. Has a dive bar feel without feeling like you don’t belong. They are extremely friendly and welcoming. I came on a Friday and it’s fish sandwich Friday for $9.95.
