I always enjoy coming to Crane Alley. They have a great beer selection, and good food. It's not an overly loud bar. They have outside seating, and indoor pool tables.
I definitely recommend coming here at least once if you're in the Champaign-Urbana area.response / report this review -

The food here is great (try the hummus plate) and they have a pretty fantastic beer selection! Think ahead of you want to play pool, as there’s often a waiting list.

This is a town's favorite. This place has a pretty solid beer and whiskey selection. The food is great, I personally recommend the mushroom ravioli, and if you're a meet lover they have powerful and tasty burgers. A great vibe, pool tables, awesome staff and the location in downtown Urbana makes the Alley one of Urbana's special gems.
A final word for international friends, bring your passport or US-issued ID or else they will not serve alcohol.response / report this review -

Great place to go for American pub style food. I recommend the War Pig burger. Outdoor seating available.

Definitely one of the best spots in Urbana for dinner and drinks. Their outdoor seating is a must. Have never been disappointed with Crane Alley.

The food, while a decent presentation, was surpringly awful tasting. I'll chalk it up to the burger being a daily special, but a place like that should definitely have their employees sample the food before recommending it. And just so everyone knows, it was the burger with white anchovies. Now while I love anchovies, in hindsight that could not have been a worse accompaniment on a burger. It completely clashed with the beef in the worst way. I was really disappointed when I asked the bartender if he had tried the burger yet, to which he replied, "I don't get around to trying the daily specials".
I eventually had to get something else to wash the taste out of my mouth, so I ordered their mac & cheese bites, which were disappointingly bland.
Overall, I would definitely return for their excellent draft beer selection, but would stay away from the daily special unless highly recommended and tasted before hand.

Great craft beer selection. Food is always good. I love the outdoor seating options, plus pool if you are looking for an activity. Highly recommend attending the crawfish boil, which usually occurs near Father's Day.

Love this place. It's a fun place for after-work beer-and-pool or dinner or hanging out at the bar.
