Collective Pour

Collective has a great beer selection, including a number of cans and 25-30 taps at any time. They offer much of their beer to go at reasonable prices - can even order straight from their website. They have a spectacular bourbon selection. Food is decent standard bar snacks. Staff and owner are always friendly and really know their stuff when it comes to craft beer and bourbon, rye, rtc.

Along with Pour Bros, this is the newest beer bar in downtown Champaign. It is a big open bar area with garage doors that open to the street side. There are plenty of TV's, long bar, lots of tables. A bit of a sterile vibe, but still comfortable. The bartender was great, very informative, knowledgeable and quick. There is a pretty extensive beer list, I didn't count the taps but about 30. Several Riggs offerings, Founders Dirty Bastard, 21st Amendment.

There is a small snacks menu. The jumbo pretzel is certainly huge with good dipping sauces, and the fried pickles are great. Simple pub junk food that is good and tasty, though not extensive. A good spot to have a beer and a snack for an Illini game. A place that is comfortable with good small bites, good beer, and good service. Can't ask for much more.
