I thought we’d take a drive to Washington, Illinois and visit the Alpha Bravo bar this evening. And so…that’s exactly what we’re going to do!

Let’s go!

Bar Number 123: Alpha Bravo, Monday, May 18, 2026

Signpost ahead: Alpha Bravo Grill & Pub.

We’re here in Washington, Illinois on this fine evening in May of 2026.

They have a nice patio with tables and chairs in the front of the building, but we need to find our 123rd bar of this tour, so let’s go inside and see if we can find it in there!

There’s a dining room with tables and chairs in the front room of the building, but we need to find the bar…

And, whoomp, there it is!

It’s a nice wooden bar with plenty of seats available! Let’s go get settled in for this evening!

Darby was the friendly and pretty bartender on duty and here she is serving me up a Pabst tallboy with a beautiful smile!

A patron seated next to me who didn’t want to be photographed, asked me why Godzilla was on the back of the can. I wasn’t sure why till I came home and Googled it and found the answer. I also discovered who Attack Peter is, oh the things you learn on a 365 bar crawl tour!

As you can see from the back wall, this is a well-stocked bar!

There’s a good supply of cans and bottles in the cooler behind the bar and they have six beers on tap for you sipping pleasure.

There’s tables opposite the bar and up front in the dining area, as previously mentioned. They have a full lunch and dinner menu which you can check out by clicking here and here.
