The Olympic Tavern is a waste and I truly wonder why this was added (new member, adds this place, gives it rave reviews and rarely returns). Their beer selection is marginal and cointains mostly macros. Occasionally they have seasonal Sam Adams or Bells when it was in Illinois. I have been to this place more than a couple times and each time the service was marginal. Food selection is your typical bar food but in the higher price range. The bar area is okay, pretty smoky. If you are looking for an overpirced meal Id suggest going to this place. If it is beer that you are into DEFINATELY go somewhere else. In Rockford go to the Carlyle for beer and Garrett’s for a meal like you would find here, just better.

Updated 3/25/07. It should be noted that ’screwcitybeer’ is the beverage director at this establishment and his initial rating was: The Olympic Tavern is a Rockford tradition! A welcome environment for dinner with friends and family or a night out sampling the finest American and European craft beers available. Many unique brews that you’re just not going to find outside of Chicago, Check their website for current beer lists/specials.

Constantly changing craft beer selection, as much as will possibly fit in the cooler.
Victory, Dogfish Head, 3 Floyds, Rogue, Breckenridge, Ommegang, Chimay, New Holland, DuPont, Samuel Smith, Leinie’s, Sam Adams and the rest of the macros too.
Voted Rockford’s Best Outdoor Dining 2005.
