There’s a bar in Washington, Illinois called W Down Under that’s a basement bar.

We haven’t been to an underground bar yet on this tour, so let’s make like the Men At Work and go to a land down under for today’s bar visitation!

Bar Number 152: W Down Under, Tuesday, May 30, 2026

Here we are at W Down Under in Washington, Illinois. Time to go underground!

We’ll travel down the stairs to a bar down under!

Wow, there’s a good crowd in here and the bar is all filled up, but there’s one seat here at the bar, so let’s grab it and get settled in for the evening!

Here’s my view from where I’m seated at the copper-top bar in here.

Tana was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up an ice-cold can of Busch beer. We’re off to a wonderful start in here!

There’s the back of the bar and Tana took a photo of the eight beers on tap behind the bar. Great photo, thanks, Tana!

Brad, Teressa and Amy were seated next to me at the bar and Teressa told me she’s been following along on the bar tour on the blog, which I always love to hear! It was nice to meet and chat with them at the bar!

There’s another bar within this bar that I was led to down this hallway!

And here it is, this is a nice room which is attached in the same building.

There’s a dining room and a full bar in here and there’s Tim, who’s the co-owner of W Down Under. He said that this room and bar is available to rent for private parties, wedding receptions, bachelor parties and whatever you want. Very cool!

Meanwhile, back at the bar, there’s Tana serving up a giganzo mug of beer at the bar!

And of course we have to show the mysterious W Down Under bar koozie!

There’s tables opposite the bar and a row of gaming machines line the back wall of the bar in here.

Here’s a shot from the other end of the bar and the grey figure is someone who didn’t want their picture shown on the blog. Hey, I’m not here to cause any trouble, so I blocked this person out!

They’re all set up for the 4th of July that’s happening this Saturday! Nice decorations and this was a fun evening in Washington, Illinois in a bar down under!
