Downtown Dining
Galesburg is lucky to have many great restaurants and bars. Need some good coffee? For a laid-back, kitschy spot, check out The Beanhive. For a trendy café atmosphere, head over to Innkeeper's Fresh Roasted Coffee! Either shop is great for lunch, too...
More lunch, we recommend Cornucopia Natural Market & Deli for a casual eat-in or carry-out option. Craft Butcher & Deli is another great spot if you are more carnivorous!
Dinner is tough choice, but we love The Landmark Cafe & Creperie for an intimate dining experience (try their dessert crepes!) Here are some other great options in Galesburg: Iron Spike Brewing Company , The Pizza House , Baked, Budde's Pizza, Coney Island, Masa Sushi Hibachi Steakhouse, Cherry Street Restaurant & Bar.
Many of the options listed above are also bars! But if you want our recommendation for a great local watering hole, check out The Bar 65, only a short walk away from the theatre!
