Jug’s Main Street Tap

This place was our second choice on Friday night looking for a late dinner. Dually’s down the street closed the kitchen and sent us to Jug’s. I think we were both surprised by the atmosphere-​it was packed. There were several tables with small children sharing pizzas and a full bar of guys getting hammered a few feet away. Service was prompt and available.
However, the food is marginal at best. I wasn’t impressed by anything on the menu and somehow ordered mini corn dogs off the kids menu. When it arrived I couldn’t believe it was a kids meal, but then we got the check and it definitely was charged as an adult entrée. Frozen. Fried. Corn dogs. Meh. My boyfriend got a warehouse club cheeseburger and we high tailed it out as soon as we got the check.
It just wasn’t the atmosphere to sit, eat, and relax. I’m not sure how any of those families could last so long.
This might be a nice rowdy place for a drink, but it’s not something we were looking for.

If you are ever on your way to Galena, stop at Jugs in Elizabeth. We happened there Saturday when it was wild game night. Local hunters brought in food for a wild game buffet. Venison meatballs and chili, elk and noodles, venison brats, rabbit and wild rice, stewed duck and venison Italian beef. OMG. Best food ever! Super nice people too. There is something to be said for small town living.

Great local bar atmosphere. We love the pizza and don’t mind the short wait. Staff is always friendly. Great place to meet friends for a drink and some food.

Not a bad place to stop in for a beer or two whether you’re with a group of people or just by yourself to watch a game. It’s much larger inside than it appears to be from the street, so there’s plenty of room for groups. Hungry? They make pretty good burgers and fries to kill the grumbling in your belly. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and there weren’t many patrons in the bar so my meal came out pretty quickly.
Since I was just passing through town and was driving, I wasn’t drinking, so I can’t comment on the beer/​liquor selection here. But judging from the number of brew signs on the walls, I don’t think you’ll have any trouble finding something you like.
Bottom line, it’s definitely worth a visit if in the area, but I wouldn’t go way out of my way to come here.

Marginal bar food.
