The Rockford-Area Bars Keeping Dr. Pepper on the Menu
I have a confession to make: I love Dr. Pepper.
Not in a casual, "I'll drink it if it's available" kind of way. I mean if a restaurant offers Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper, I'm choosing Dr. Pepper every single time. There's just something about it that hits differently.
But here's the thing, I almost never order it at bars.

Not because I don't want to. I've just always assumed most bars don't carry it. In my head, the options are usually Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, maybe ginger ale, and that's about it. So whenever I'm out and don't feel like drinking alcohol, I settle for Sprite or water.
Then it hit me recently: Why am I not at least trying to order a Dr. Pepper?
That simple thought sent me down a rabbit hole. I was so determined to find out which bars around the Rockford are actually serve Dr. Pepper. What started as a random thought quickly turned into asking everyone on Facebook! Sure enough, people had recommendations like crazy.

These are all the places that were recommended to me, but I know there are probably so many more bars that probably have my favorite pop. I'm actually surprised that this many bars carry Dr. Pepper! Some are in bottles, some are in cans.. either way, I'll drink it! Let me know where else we can find Dr. Pepper... I wanna try to put a Dr. Pepper Pub Crawl together.
