Pk's - Carbondale

Absolutely the best bar in town! The entertainment is fantastic, and the bartenders are truly top-notch.

Pks is truly one of a kind—there's really no other way to describe it. If you're in Carbondale, it's a must-visit! The bartenders are consistently friendly, and they have billiard tables and seating available.

PK is a Southern Illinois icon. If you're looking for a diving bar, this is the place. They have a wide range of beers, locally, imported, handmade, also all kinds of spirits. They also have live music almost every weekend, maybe they have live music every weekend, I'm not sure, but their Instagram profile is always active posting who plays every night. They also serve lunch, I heard positive feedback, never tried. Of course they have the most popular attraction of Southern Illinois, slot machines! You also have a pool table. Make sure to get cash because it is a cash-only business. There is an ATM if you don't mind paying transaction fees.

Excellent burgers, Cuban sandwiches and amber bock. Very nice staff. Hometown atmosphere.

It’s a dive bar that attracts a mix of all kinds of interesting people. It's no longer just the old biker bar it used to be. The place features five slot machines, a pool table, two pinball machines, and a foosball game. There’s also an outdoor seating area for smoking located in the alley.
