Located in the heart of Alto Pass, Illinois the Root Beer Saloon seems to put on display the collection of some long dead hoarder. Entering the salon is like walking into a cave, as the sheer volume of novelties affixed to every spare inch of the place makes the space seem tiny, and slightly claustrophobic.

The Root Beer Saloon, besides serving excellent draft root beer, sells a variety of pastries, ice cream and seafood that are all oddly fitting. These food items, though good, are not worth the trip alone, but they do provide some excellent snacks as one tries to take in everything around them.
