It's awesome. Reasonably priced brew, cider, mead, and a little wine. I'm an IPA guy and they always have at least three or four options and two I really enjoy. Game scene is really cool, too. And the staff are down to earth and knowledgeable.

This is a great place to get a beer or just hang out with friends. The pour your own beer format is novel and I actually like it a lot.

They always have a unique variety of microbreweries on tap, providing a fun way to try new drinks! Love the games, it’s a great place to meet up with friends. Caution: having too good a time is entirely probable, and may lead to the next morning being far from excellent 😉

Sweet place to go and hang with friends. Cool card system so that you can try lots of different drinks. There’s lots of fun things to try: darts, skee ball, board games, and trivia too! Really big and popular bar downtown.

Overall a great experience. Love the control I have to sample or indulge (could be dangerous). The vibe was really great on a Saturday night. We brought our dinner in and could talk, but still enjoy the music. There was a great selection of beers and many local (and close) options. My personal preference would have been for fewer sours, fruits and wines, but I am hoping for rotation! Awkward to think about how tipping fits into this experience, the staff was nice and quick to buss dirty glasses. Wish to know they were getting a good hourly rate! Show less

Really fun idea, pour your own drink and pay for what you pour. You can just go down the line and sample everything and end up paying only a couple dollars. Great local selection. Fun games, cool art, great patio. Friendly staff, and good vibe. Cant recommend this place enough

Turns out, once you check in at the bar, you get a card that you then take to the taps to activate them and pour as little or as much as you want! And you only pay for what you pour! There is no food HOWEVER you can bring in or have food delivered to eat there! And they have things to keep you entertained most nights including a Skee-ball league on Thursdays!!! 😮 Some arcade style video games are also available to play. Show less

Lots of options for draft beer. Give them your card and get a "tap card" then you can pour whatever you like and even "taste test" a few before pouring a full glass. Skee ball was fun.

Didn't eat there, so we didn't rate the food, but we had a great time visiting and playing the various games. Beverages were great; so many options and the ability to sample them all.

Best idea ever!!! Pour your own beer from the tap with tons of delicious local and popular options. Like a froyo place, except it is for beer (or wine).

What an amazing concept. It's a fun, welcoming place. It takes a bit to catch on to how it all works, but they are super helpful and friendly. Now they just need better IPAs :)

First time here and it was board game night, and free skee ball night! It was fun meeting new people, trying beers and new games. I ended up winning the Tumblin' Dice tournament! Woohoo! We'll be back for sure.

Unique locale in downtown Champaign for tasting microbrews and wines that you pour yourself from taps that charge by the ounce. Arcade games and other games, free popcorn. Fun place for hanging out, and right next to other main restaurant pubs if you want to bar hop.

You can pour by the ounce on the “Pour Wall”using a card that tracks how much you pour. With 26 taps to chose from i can always find some new and good on tap. They have a lot of fun events going on like Board Game nights with Titan Games, Skeeball league, dart league, Live music, trivia Thursdays, Monday social. They have 3 Skeeball lanes, 2 dart boards, pinball machine, buck hunter. Summer months they have the back patio open for more live music, bags boards, and other fun events like Pups n Pints where people are encouraged to bring their pets and to have a beer with other dog owners. Pour bros doesn’t serve food but are better yet food friendly. So you can bring in or get delivery from your favorite food spot from the area. They accommodate large groups and there is plenty of parking in front of pour bros or across the street in the train parking lot. Show less
