Downtown’s Neighborhood Bar
House-infused cocktails × Craft beers
Bentley’s Pub is downtown Champaign’s neighborhood bar—
a cozy spot for craft beer, cocktails, and good company.
We’d love to be your go-to.
Bentley’s has a long history in downtown Champaign. Originally opened as Ole Ace’s in the 1970s, it transformed into Bentley’s in the 1990s. You can still see the history in the original tin ceilings, bar, and foundation. Since taking over in 2016, owners Ashley Buerkett and Eric Meyer have been revamping the space—keeping the charm, honoring the past, and elevating the drinks.
Our General Manager, Matt “Fu” Kucera, brings years of bartending experience and creativity to the bar. He’s crafted a standout lineup of house-infused cocktails (our signature InFUsions), including our most popular: the Little White Lie, a coffee-infused tequila that’s earned a loyal following. We also offer seasonal craft cocktails and an ever-changing selection of craft beers. Prefer the classics? Don’t worry—we’ve got PBR, Jameson, Fireball, Bud Light, and all your favorites behind the bar.
