Jerseys Bar and Grill

Nestled on East Main Street in the heart of Mt. Sterling, Illinois, Jerseys Bar & Grill opened its second location in March 2025, just in time for March Madness. The venue is a true hometown sports bar, with walls lined with local high‑school and college uniforms, award‑winning team photos, and dozens of flat‑screen TVs broadcasting every game. Patrons can sink their teeth into the signature 1/3 lb. GJY Cheeseburger, a locally sourced smash burger topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, and a house‑made special sauce, or enjoy a tender 8 oz Ribeye steak from GJY Beef Co. The menu also features Bang Bang Shrimp, a nacho bar with pulled pork and queso, and a rotating selection of craft beers from Illinois microbreweries. The banquet hall, equipped with AV gear and full table service, is available for private parties, corporate events, and wedding receptions at $300 for two hours plus $75 per additional hour. Opening hours are Monday‑Thursday 11:00‑21:00, Friday‑Saturday 11:00‑23:00, and Sunday 12:00‑20:00, with a moderate $$ price range. The interior blends reclaimed wood, neon sports signage, and comfortable booth seating, creating a lively yet relaxed vibe for both locals and traveling fans. Whether you’re cheering on the local high school football team or looking for a hearty dinner after a day on the road, Jerseys offers a welcoming atmosphere, generous portions, and friendly service.
