Local Loyalty - Pepi's Pub and Grill

Good morning and welcome back!
Today, I want to introduce you to

618 6th Street, Racine.
Just east of the roundabout on the north side of the road.

Also check them out
Open Monday thru Saturday 11am-"bar close", 
with the kitchen open Mon - Sat. 11am-midnight. 
Summemr hours include Sunday's noon-9, 
opening earlier during football season. 
I had a nice visit and interview with Joe, who, with his sister, own and operate Pepi's. They were on Main Street in late '05/early '06. They've been in their current location on 6th street for 4 years. It's comfortable and homey. With lots of bar games, pinball, arcade games, foosball, air hockey, pool tables and more!
When I asked how he would describe his place, he said it's like a "high class dive bar with fast, casual dining"
Pepi's also sponsors many leagues.
His goal is to expand to have an outdoor area. 
They have 24 American draft taps, rotating seasonally. 
Every 1st Friday of the month, they feature a brewery, where a rep comes out and you can learn more about them. 
More things he wants you to know - 
They have the best bloody Mary's in town. 
They have the largest cider selection, and have gluten free options. There are 2 dedicated gluten free cider lines, and their beer lines are cleaned and sanitized every 2 weeks.

The food is good, the atmosphere is welcoming and Joe is a wonderful host. 
In a 1st for me, he came up with 4, not just 3 words!

1. Clean
2. Entertaining
3. Uniquely familiar (think Cheers)
4. Welcoming. 
If you're in the area, stop in and check them out, don't forget to let them know you saw it here!!

It is a very comfortable atmosphere. The admins also have met there. Just have a friend with you to hold the door if you need to use the ladies room. ;>

The JT Illuminati have also met there.

I've been eating their Italian beef sandwiches since they were on Main St. Very good food.

I thought the beer as quite tasty, but what I liked best was the company. Even when someone came back a little dirtier from the restroom. :)
