• Gastro Pub • St. Charles

In June 1896, the trolley system that linked St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, IL began to offer service to local citizens. Overhead wires that ran along the track supplied the power to the single, open-air cars.The trolley came from South Elgin and traveled along the east side of the river, through the St. Charles Country Club and along Route 25. From Main Street, it went west, crossed over the bridge, and turned south on 3rd Street to go to Geneva.It was at this last turn that conductors would stop the trolley and allow passengers to disembark for a quick drink to warm up during the winter months. Welcome back to Whiskey Bend.

The food is good, a bit on the expensive side. Although everything seems to be heading that way. Good bourbon list.

The food was delicious!! The service was good but he was very busy because it was Valentine’s Day. We did not receive our $25 off on our receipt and due to time constraints…we just figured we will use it next time. We were there almost two hours…it took a long time to get our orders, our food, my gf bread, water and water refills but the food was delicious (as always).
