Washy's Pub 210 South Main Street, Columbia, IL 62236

"We had a wedding rehearsal dinner scheduled at another restaurant but a small fire that morning left us scrambling to find another place to accommodate 30 hungry people. The staff at Washy's Pub to the rescue. With short notice, they prepared several tables, brought in extra staff and were ready for us when we arrived. Even better, the food was truly excellent and well-priced. The restaurant was spotless, and the staff were understanding and amazingly helpful. I'd like to offer a very sincere THANK YOU to the folks at Washy's Pub. We were in a bind and you not only came through for us, you went above and beyond to make it a great night. We appreciate you very, very much."

"This is the best local bar I've been to in years. Bright, clean, great food and selection. Service was fast. We fly at the local airport, and this will be a regular food spot."

"As an out-of-state visitor I was happy to find this place. Delicious pot pie and every single employee helped out. Great service, so good I may come back to town just to try breakfast. Forget chain restaurants, get off the highway and find them."

"The test of truth if a pub is really a pub, for me, is not necessarily the booze (Whisky) selection, but if they serve a great fish and chips. Oh, and Washy's Pub certainly did. The hand bread cod fish was delish. I liked that they made their tartar sauce in-house too. I used it for both the fish and fries. The coleslaw was okay... Just needed a bit more pepper to perk it up. Overall, great Pub find in Columbia, Illinois and on the main stretch, so it was easy to find."

"Went in for lunch and service was great as always. Everyone was satisfied with theirs except mine. I had a chicken cajun wrap and tasted like pure salt so I had waitress take it back and no seasoning on the chicken wrap this time and was spot on it was great. Glad it was resolved and quickly came out. Otherwise all was excellent and will be back!! Thnx for making it right!!"
