Springfield is a city with more going on than people give it credit for. From a beloved pizza spot to a jazz lounge that has entertained generations of Springfield residents, there’s no shortage of things to do in Springfield. This guide will introduce you, or reintroduce you, to a few of our favorite spots.
Our Favorite Restaurants in Springfield
Two Guys Pizzeria
Two Guys Pizzeria has been a Springfield institution since its opening, due in large part to its dedication to quality and community. The classic, thick, fluffy, and charred traditional Italian-style pizza will fill you up! If you’re looking for a quick bite before or after your visit to Zaza Green, this is the perfect place for you. (We’re two blocks down.)
Patty Cakes Gourmet Cupcakes
Owned by the same people as Two Guys Pizza, this bakery is beloved for its cupcakes but also has a delicious selection of cheesecakes and brownies. From traditional options like German Chocolate to more exotic tastes like French Toast Maple-Bacon, there’s sure to be a flavor you love at Patty Cake Bakery. With great prices and better cupcakes, this is an excellent addition to any afternoon route in Springfield.
Theodores’
First arriving in Springfield in 1979, Theodores’ has been a top destination for live music and great-tasting BBQ for decades. The venue hosts the best national, regional, and local acts, even earning the distinction of “Best Blues Club in the Country” from The Blues Foundation. The dimly lit bar features live music most nights, so there’s rarely a bad day to stop in.
White Lion Brewing Company
Located in the heart of Springfield, the White Lion Brewing Company is more than just great beer; they also offer a full kitchen, wine, spirits, and a community vibe that’s hard to beat. The taproom is closed on Mondays and opens at noon the rest of the week. With 30 craft beers under its banner, the brewery is a strong last stop to close out an evening in Springfield.
