Lightnin' Bar

Jennifer Bruhn Mulherin

Love having a new fun place to hang in Elgin! I really enjoy the weekly live music options, Sunday brunch (with perfect hours), plus brunch cocktails all day! We will definitely be regulars.

I like the place but it is not set up for groups. We had a party of 7 and there wasn't a place that we could sit. We gathered around a little table in the back but then had to keep moving around when someone played pool. We have about 12-20 of us that gather and have to go to Bob's.

Cool honky tonk bar, live music, good bartenders.

To The Point

Just what Elgin needed! Photos from the pumpkin carving contest 2023.

Non smoking, perfect! Family bar, with great people! Fun entertainment and pool.

First time 🫶🏼 The bartender is awesome & the atmosphere is great. Definitely a spot that you can relax & have a nice cold beer

Nice neighborhood hang out spot - good vibes and live music!

Cool bar with a sort of impromptu car show/meet on Friday and Saturday.

I had a Blast here! Flew in - knew no one & was made to feel welcome, danced with Bob and met so many wonderful young people. The townspeople, shop owners, bar owners and musicians were simply real! Kids, doggies, music, food, libations, billiards with some serious music making and singing! Such a “Grow Home” to foster new talent & share the Best of What Music Offers. A local cool place to hang and frequent! #ElginTx ✈️ from Florida! 💕💪🎶💃😘☮️

Air-conditioned! Pool tables and a photo booth and the beer is ice cold! They also have vegetarian tamales and Frito pie. The chili is beef. The owners are awesome, we're treated like family.

Great little spot, cool ZZ Top shrine. The bartender was really cool and laid back. He let us bring our cat in her cat carrier. She is on her last leg and that's the only reason she was traveling with us so we really appreciated that.

Great bar, food and good times

stopped in for a quick cocktail with a girlfriend and couldn’t be happier with the vibe. bob, behind the bar, killed it with the cast iron curl. happiest little spot with free pool!!

What a cool bar! Decor is top notch. Delicious michelada! Will be back!

Very fun, easy-going and non-pretentious bar. Everyone is welcome and the vibe is always good! Love this for Elgin!

The only good bar in Elgin. The other place is a skin-head dive so please patron If you are cool, modern, and a good neighbor, then Lightning Bar is your watering hole. Great band roster, plenty of community support and engagement along with a rugged but welcoming atmosphere. The best little bar north of 290.

Excellent bar. Great atmosphere and service. It's located in the heart of Elgin, in what was the original Southside Market building, a really cool spot with a lot of history. Friendly bartenders, great drinks, the owner if often on site and a super nice guy. We love this place and often enjoy introducing our friends to this spot.
