Bago Lounge - Wine, Spirits & Slots 817 North Elida Street, Winnebago, IL 61088

"This is truly a hidden gem. The bar is surprisingly big on the inside and they make excellent use of space. They went all out on Christmas decorations and it felt warm and welcoming when we walked in. The bartender was the manager and she was friendly and got us drinks right away. Definitely give this place a try!"

"Looks like a nice place. Absolutely rude waitresses. If you're not a regular townie then expect no service. Don't dress too well and talk slowly and you may blend in to get service. Food has no flavor. Spinach artichoke was tasteless and didn't eat more than a 1/4 of it. Not sure why you're still open."

"We've always had a great experience here. Their drinks are really good and you can order Non alcoholic flights for the kids that the kids love and they look amazing. They didn't use to have food but they do now and we haven't had anything that we don't like. I highly recommend going here."

"Wow! What a treat! First I have to say what a concept! The place is dark like a lounge should be. After a disappointing time at a previous establishment we found this. I guess when one door shuts another opens. I’m happy this is the one that opened. The menu was big but not overwhelming. The coolest part is you can get flights of just about any cocktail. We got a margarita, thanksgiving dessert and Bloody Mary flight. All 3 had 4 different options. All of them were fantastic! You can tell they take it serious. They also serve food. We got a pretzel and a charcuterie plate. The pretzel was AMAZING and HUGE! The charcuterie was ok. I really wasn’t expecting too much for the price. It was generic but good. I could tell everything was fresh atleast. The bathrooms are stand alone with a locking door which I prefer especially in a bar. They were clean and well stocked. Now let’s talk about the staff! Amazing! Very inviting and knowledgeable. That’s all that matters. We planned on just having a couple drinks but stayed for a couple more. I would have liked to taste a bit more vodka in my Bloody Mary but it was still very tasty. Side note they also do coffee in the mornings. With what smelled like a blueberry scone baking for the next morning. Oh yeah…no slot machine yet but it’s coming!"
