Our Story
When owner Rich Gabbert took over the business in 2006, he had a vision for Meadows Avenue Tap to become a community staple and pass the business down to his children. Rich’s mission from the beginning has been to focus on customer satisfaction. In 2008, he added a covered beer garden outside for customers to enjoy some fresh air throughout their night, without removing themselves from the vibrant atmosphere that Meadows Avenue Tap is known for. When gambling became legal in Illinois in 2012, Rich thought gaming machines would add an extra layer of excitement and fun with his customers, and he was right! Nearly ten years later, Meadows Avenue Tap is known around the region to have the best gaming experience, and some of highest payouts for players. We’re a one-stop-shop for food and drinks, slot machines, and great conversation.
Meadows Avenue Tap offers a vast space for big groups and private events, and the atmosphere is sure to make any celebration a success. We are known for having the absolute best gaming experience in the area, and our patrons have cashed out nearly 40 million dollars from our gaming machines! Meadows Avenue Tap is prepared to fuel your evening with specialty options from our menu like: homemade pizza, burgers, and tenderloins. Our food and drink specials change daily, so if you’re looking to try something new or stick to a well-loved staple — We have you covered.
When you walk in to Meadows Avenue Tap, the first thing you are met with is the smell of great food, a friendly face, and an invitation to relax and have a drink.

had this to say:
I like this place. Not quite a dive bar, but juuuust a step above. Pretty crowded during pool league nights. Bartender was kinda busy, but I've seen busier places. I say this bcuz I ordered my beer & paid with a $20. The bartender grabbed my $20 & was soooo into the conversation she was having, she came back around to me & told me.."$3 for the beer."... I looked down at the $20 in her hand while she blankly stared at me waiting for me to pay. I had to remind her where she got that $20 from to get her to stop thinking that I wasn't gonna pay. Overall, not a bad experience. I wish she woulda let me know the new tap of Yuengling was available. Otherwise, I woulda started with one of those. Not too bad a place, I bet it's a lil more convenient if you're a regular. I do recommend this place tho.
