Oasis Micro Pub

Nice coozy craft beer pub located in downtown with a large selection. The clientele can definitely answer and question you have about Brian Wilson, the album Pet Sounds and photography.

I only gave you 4 star’s because the place is so small it can be hard to find a place to sit. It would be lower too. But that cute short brunette bartender. Was cute and awsome.

By far my favorite bar in Rockford. Awesome selection of craft beer. Especially the stouts! Love those stouts!!! A totally no frills pub. Come as you are type of place. Never encountered a rude bartender there either. If I had to complain about anything it would be Uncle Nick’s food. But then again i don’t/won’t eat there anyways. All in all Oasis rocks & is my go to place when in Rockford!!!

Best kept secret! Really nice beers on tap… well priced!

Just moved to Rockford and stumbled upon this bar. Great prices and great microbrews. Great prices as well!

All about the beer. Paper printed beer menu is cheap as hell but beer selection is pretty good. Décor in the bar is awful, but who gives a shit!

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time to the late 70s or early 80s & have a craft beer from the future? If so, then this is the place for you. You’ll understand when you see the décor. All joking aside, I really love what they’ve done here. Awesome & unique craft beers that you can’t get anywhere else in town & for an affordable price. I only wonder why I don’t come here more often.

Peace be upon Oasis micro pub. Take advantage of their interesting selection of ridiculous beers at great prices while you can for who knows when Uncle Nick’s patronage will cease, this place will vanish and next thing you know you’re paying ten large for a beer cause there is a gargoyle on the bottle or clown shoes or some other nonsense. Other reviews seem to complain of a hipster infestation but I didn’t spot anything out of the ordinary, just a couple of beardos and the sullen women who love em.

Oasis has the most diverse selection of craft brews in Rockford! The prices are very inexpensive as well. Old Chicago is close because it has a huge selection, but their prices are a little higher and the choices at Oasis are more unique and rare. Being able to order food from Uncle Nick’s across the street is an added bonus!

Staff is nice and attentive. Beer selection awesome and rotating non stop. Small, quiet, comfortable craft bar. And you cant go wrong with uncle nicks food. I’m never let down by this place

Great craft beer selection at fantastic prices. The staff is always super friendly. What keeps the Oasis from being a five star beer bar is the décor. It is in desperate need of a remodel, get rid of the tacky paintings on the walls and the tube TV in the corner, put a nice flat screen up and get a basic cable package.

Great beer but crawling with hipsters. Which is great, if you like hipsters. The bartenders are super sweet and know their regulars.

It was very cosy the bartender was very sweet and the selection was very nice. Next time I’m in rockford il I will definitely stop by.

What an odd little place. Great beer selection, great prices, just awesome all around. Comfy bar stools too, if I was local this place would be trouble. Third Coast for $ 3? Yeesh, hard to top.

Very good bar. When I hit downtown Rockford this bar is on the top of my list. It is a smaller bar, but the beer is unlike anywhere else.
The staff is super friendly and tentative. The décor is by far interesting.

My very favorite place to go for good beers! The inside is small but comfortable and the women’s bathroom is always clean. Great tap beers with an ever-​changing menu so you’ll always find something different to try. They will bring you food from Uncle Nick’s across the street which is not only tasty, but affordable!

I love this bar! I come in usually 2 – 3 times a week and they always have a huge selection of beers on tap that change weekly, so there is always something new to try. The prices are fantastic. You can also get some beers TO GO!
It’s small inside, but not unconfortable. The bathrooms are a bit small for my liking, but they are clean!
I wouldn’t suggest starting your night off here, they tend to have some high ABV beers on tap.

Awesome beer. Arriving outside at night, we were unsure whether or not we should go in. Yeah, it is a little shady. Once you get inside, though, it’s rather nice. A very small bar, there are maybe 7 tables and ~8 seats at the bar. The food is delivered from across the street (a fast food place, Uncle Nick’s I think). We liked the food. Not expecting anything fancy, we were very impressed with the place.
This is a great place for some awesome beer, which is exactly what we wanted. No TV’s, so no watching the game, just some amazing drinks and quiet talking atmosphere. We loved it; ⁵⁄₅. Expectations were exceeded. Glad we found this bar. Oh, the bartender was very cool, too.
The beer is cheap, too, for what you get. $ 4 for specialty draft imports is incredible.

One quick superficial gripe: The exterior is less than beautiful. In fact the ugliness may be deceptively deterrent, but if it doesn’t stop you than you’ve earned the reward of The Oasis for exhibiting a lack of vanity.
I’m from Milwaukee, a great town fraught with beer elitists. a sentiment I am guilty of. My fiancée and I both have family in Rockford and visit pretty regularly. I gave my cousin a ring to see what he was up to and we met up at the Oasis. I was completely in shock at the selection of beers and moreover the price that they were being offered up for. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and capable of making suggestions based on the drinkers preferences. The ambiance has a warm and welcoming lounge feel too it, which on the right night could border on romantic. That being said, if a date is what you’re going for I wouldn’t recommend making your stop at Oasis late at night or on a weekend, the decibels jump up quite a bit.
I don’t think I’m being insulting to any native Rockfordians here, but places like Oasis that offer a degree of refinement and culture are as welcome as they are rare. It’s great to see the potential of a frequently written off city carry it’s pulse through establishments like this. If you’re in Rockford, stop here for a drink, it’ll be worth it.

This is a great little secret in Rockford. It’s a good bar with a wide selection and great prices. On draft they have a lot of the local and/​or popular craft beers. Their selection rotates, but usually only to other local/​popular craft beers. You hardly ever see one that isn’t a staple in any of the local liqour stores. (Bell’s, Founders, Dark horse, Avery, Flying Dog, Rogue, Two Brothers, etc) They also have some imports.
Service is hit and miss. Sometimes I’m served quickly, other’s it’s a slow long wait. This place is a night ender. With the average beer having a higher ABV than what most people are used to, you don’t hit this place early unless you want to get thrashed.
Prices are amazingly cheap for what you are ordering.
