Okay, after a brief hiatus, my friend Jim A.K.A. Karl is back which means we’ll be hitting the road tonight with him behind the wheel. And if you keep scrolling you’ll find out where our destination is on this fine and friendly Wednesday evening.

Bar Number 242: Corner Inn, Wednesday, October 21, 2026

The sun is setting as we head on down the road on our way to Elmwood, Illinois. I took a photo of Karl behind the wheel, but it was all fuzzed out. We must have hit a bump, oh well, you’ll see him soon, just keep on scrolling!

Here we are at tonight’s destination, the Corner Inn in Elmwood, Illinois.

There he is as promised, Karl is doing his doorman duty at the front door!

Wow, they have a nice, long wooden bar in here!

As you can see, Karl has already found a seat in here, let’s go join him at the bar.

Ashley was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up an ice-cold can of Bud Light.

There’s Karl settled in at the bar enjoying the first drink of the evening.

Here’s some shots of the back of the well-stocked bar in here.

They’ve got a half a dozen beers on tap back there and you know Chad Wallace is drooling over the one on the far right!

Jeff was seated down at this end of the bar and he has a bar of his very own that we may be visiting soon, stay tuned for that!

There’s two gaming machines and a dartboard up in front on either side of the front door and there’s more gaming machines in the back behind the bar.

There’s another room back here with a claw machine and dining tables. There’s also a door that leads to…

A nice beer patio with a pool table on it! This is the first outdoors pool table we’ve seen on this tour and it might just be the only one we see!
