Tonight we’re headed over to Edwards, Illinois to go to a bar named after the town it’s located in, Edward’s Tap. And tonight we’re joined by our weekly guest star and driver, Jim/Karl.

Okay, next stop, Edwards, Illinois!

Bar Number 195: Edward’s Tap, Wednesday, August 19, 2026

Here we are at Edward’s Tap in Edwards, Illinois. There’s no sign saying Edward’s Tap out here, but if you look closely at that Pabst sign you’ll see that…

“This Is The Place!”

I like the neon PBR sign in the window too! Looks like we’ll be drinking Pabst tonight!

I forgot to get a photo of Karl driving us here, but here he is doing his weekly doorman duty! We’ll get a shot of him driving us home at the end of the night.

For now, let’s go inside and see what’s happening in Edward’s Tap on this wonderful Wednesday evening in Edwards, Illinois!

It’’s nice in here and there’s the bar over to the left. Plenty of open seats, so Karl and I will grab a couple and let this evening begin!

Nicole was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up a can of the aforementioned Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Cheers to Chad Wallace, our in-house PBR lover and enthusiast!

There’s Karl relaxing at the bar with his drink. Love his shirt that proclaims, “Smokey Says, Keep It Green.”

Karl was “keeping it green” all the way from the MBIP Headquarters to Edwards, Illinois!

There’s the back of the bar and right now there’s no beers on tap, just four empty spickets. That’s a little sad, so we’ll just keep moving along here!
