Make It a Full Night Out

Before the show, make Bull Moose Bar & Grille your first stop. We're just minutes from the Opera House and the perfect place to settle in, enjoy a great meal, and get the evening started right. For the Friday evening performance, we recommend arriving by 5:00–5:30 PM to enjoy a relaxed dinner before curtain. Planning to catch the Sunday matinee? Come in for a great lunch beforehand, or stop by afterward to wind down.

Bull Moose Bar & Grille is located at 202 S. Main Street in the heart of downtown Sandwich, IL — an easy trip to the Opera House and back. Great food, cold drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere make us the ideal companion to a night at the theatre.
