Sweet Boy's Neighborhood Bar

Awesome day time bartender. We asked for tequila drinks and he went to work. Chill place to relax during the day. Great music. People coming and going. And ghosts everywhere. Don’t go in the bathroom. There’s no mirror and that may shock you, woman, man, other, whatever. And don’t wear silver. Vampires.

What happened to all the awesome pinball machines?! There is now a tired tiki bar of some sort with no life. Bring back pinball! Springfield needs more pinball. That's all. Love the place otherwise.

Great specials, selection, and music. The prices were similar to most college bars...Cheap! They had an old fridge behind the bar that had a neon light inside of it, which looked really cool when the bartenders opened it to get drinks. They also had the "mystery beer" special for $2. The "mystery beer" ended up being the grapefruit seltzer that my friend wanted. There was free pinball in the back and anime on the TV/projector. This place is an affordable good time.

I will be contacting management. We are on vacation and looking to move to MO. One 6 the places considered was close to Springfield. We found this bar on our adventures today and the bartendars were friendly and made excellent drinks. Iyv"was" our favorite. We go to exit and the "gatekeepers", two males at the entrance told my husband to enjoy his DUI. First of all, we are responsible drinkers and always Uber. Second of all, that absolutely ruined our evening and was uncalled for. I spoke with them and they denied their behavior. Its inexcusable. Not only is that disrespectful, but if you own an establishment and your employees know that you are over serving and the normal outcome is a DUI, there is definitely a problem in multiple levels of your business. Where we thought might be a regular stop in the future, will never be on our stop again.

Awesome selection of bourbon, scotch, and other liquors. Staff was very friendly. Prices are a little high though. The pour of bourbon (served neat) I received was very small. It was literally 1 oz instead of a 2 oz pour as stated on their menu. Where they definitely failed was on a Moscow mule. It wasn't made very well and was served in a glass. An $8 Moscow mule was served in a glass! There were multiple copper mugs (21 within view) hanging on the wall behind the bar. Unacceptable for a place like this.

(Update: this review is from when they were know as scotch and soda. I haven’t been since the change. So I don’t know if this review matching the current menu) First time in Springfield. I saw this place after leaving a brewery. All my friends wished we had come here first so we could have drank more. I originally got the quick fix. Loved it! My friend got the Bella Morte. I liked it. She thinks it was the balsamic making it a bit bitter but I think she wasn't digging the basil. It tasted a little like celery juice. But it was such a cool summer vibe drink. I would get it again. We also go an appetizer of bread and honey. Great bread! Like the best biscuit you've ever had. The Salt and pepper on top was nice. Will be back for sure.

This is the bar you go to have some fun. Good drinks and friendly bartenders as well as being open longer hours than any other bar downtown. There's almost always a decent crowd and and they've got some good arcade games in the back if that's your thing. (original review was of Scotch & Soda that used to be at this location. Pictures are from there and I'll update them when I get the chance) Several truly unique drinks await you at this find locale. Huge selection of whiskey, scotch, and bourbon as well.

Best cocktail place I've been to possibly ever. They make great traditional drinks and then you can get a drink with so many flavor profiles you'd me amazed.
