Such a ambient and welcoming atmosphere I almost took my pants off and stayed a while! The owners bright and friendly personality was a surprising change from those bar owners Ive been subjected to in the past. Had such great food and atmosphere I think I might just start drinking again!

This is one of my favorite little bars here in Central Il. Always a fun time at the Depot. Great service, specials and live music. We love to play here !!!

Best little local bar Ive ever been to. They treat you like family.

Stopped by to enjoy the independence day festivities. What a show, music from two bands and fireworks. Cold beer and absolutely no drama here. What a great place to hang out.

AMAZING atmosphere, when you enter the bar you are stranger, but when you leave you are family. The restaurant has delicious food too!! Highly recommend going out of your way to stop here!

This is a true hidden treasure its not just the depot bar but its also Jens junction restaurant. Who would have thought you could get live music on Saturday night and Sunday brunch the next day all in Kenny Illinois. The food is ...

Great service,always clean, friendly place to go for a beer.

Coldest beer and hottest food in town! I should add the most delicious food too! The burger and mushrooms were perfect and the staff was most accommodating. A wonderful place for a quick stop or an evening out.
