Watershed Bar

We only had drinks- but the atmosphere and bar staff was fabulous! Definitely a hidden gem! Alan, JT and Collin were very nice !

my fiancée & i's favorite bar in the entire city. drinks & food is so good and people/staff are so personable and funny. great place

Went here for a friend’s birthday and had the best experience! Drinks were great and the service was phenomenal. Our waitress Maggie was the best! Highly recommend

The Watershed is a warm and welcoming space in the basement of the Pops bar. It has a speakeasy vibe. Our bartender, Colin, was super efficient and friendly. He was helpful and informative with regard to the beer selection and got very creative with the alcohol free cocktails for me! We also tried some bacon wrapped dates with a dill and goat cheese spread from upstairs which was pretty yummy.

I had a wonderful experience here Thursday evening. The bartender and backing staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. High quality and tasty cocktails along with a small yet versatile selection of snacks. Pleasant atmosphere that’s dimly lit and tastefully decorated. I plan to return and recommend to friends!

Idk it’s like a Chill dead poets society atmosphere with comfy chairs and a Midwestern (upscale) basement vibe — some say 👀. I enjoyed the not so “secret” entrance. They have unique drink menus with themes like The Good Place. Bonus: truffle popcorn and games and a funky cool Bart red bands Logan — he gives the tastes.

A cool basement bar under Pops Champaign bar on the corner of State and Ohio. Upon entering Pops tell the host you want the Watershed, you'll be directed to go to the right back side and take the stairs under the big "W"
You'll be treated to a very relaxed atmosphere and drinks.
