ESCAPE THE ORDINARY

— find your wild side at Loose Moose Saloon

WHAT WE HAVE BREWING

YOUR RUGGED RETREAT

Welcome to Loose Moose Saloon, a laid-back standout among the bars in Galena IL. Here, charm outweighs polish, character beats pretense, and the atmosphere is built around people who appreciate a good drink and a good laugh. Think rustic comfort with a playful twist — the kind of spot where the night feels easy, unhurried, and exactly how you want it.

Step inside and let the warmth of the room slow the world down a notch. Maybe you’re in the mood for a smoked old-fashioned, maybe a local craft brew, or maybe something simple and strong. Whatever your pace, every pour is meant to help you settle in and enjoy the moment. While some Galena bars chase the bustle, Loose Moose leans into connection — the conversations, the stories, and the memories that linger long after last call.

Grab your crew, loosen up, and make yourself at home. At Loose Moose Saloon, the good times aren’t planned — they just happen. And once you’ve been here, you’ll understand why locals and visitors alike keep coming back for that just-right mix of comfort, character, and fun.

Our Menu
  • The cute little bar off the lobby. Alisha was our bartender and what a phenomenal person. Took time to get to know you and share fun conversations. She even shined like a star when confronted by a difficult customer ! She made sure everyone was served , having a good time and comfortable. (Our little dog loved her too ) will for sure be back.

  • Cute, inviting small bar area past the registration desk. Would definitely stay here again when back in Galena, as well as recommend it to others. Convenient location just a short drive west of Main Street.
