Eagles Nest, New Memphis Station, Seg's and Coon Dogs

Yesterday we finally made the trip to Addieville to try the Eagles Nest.  We'd heard several people say how good it was and they were right.  They had a limited amount of taps so I decided on a Michelob Golden Draft and the Glue went with a Blue Moon.  Both were good and cold but only 10oz.  They have a very nice menu and we decided to split an appetizer of catfish cut ups and fried chicken.  They let us sub onion rings for the fries and it also came with slaw.  It was a toss up between which I liked better the catfish or the chicken, both were outstanding.  The onion rings were also very good but with everything being so good I didn't eat much of the slaw but it seemed pretty good.  Kudos to the waitress who gave us  some good recommendations on what to get.  Only downside is that it wasn't very warm in the building.
After we left there we went to New Memphis Station for a beer.  No drafts there and it was really dead but seemed like a nice place.  They were setting up for a wedding so the door was open a lot and it was bordering on cold so we didn't stay very long. 
The only other person at the bar at New Memphis Station said there was a bar in Venedy called Seg's but he thought they smoked in it.  It was on the way so we stopped to give it a sniff test.  The owner/bartender said they didn't allow it but there seemed to be a faint smell of smoke, maybe they smoke at night or it's leftover from a lot of years of smoke.  The bar was your typical repurposed small town bar.  There was a family finishing up their meal and several regular type patrons at the bar.  The bartender said they just got rid of their drafts recently because of the shutdown and a co2 leak.  The people at the bar were very nice and willing to talk to you. 
One of the guys at the bar told us about a new place just north of Coulterville called Coon Dogs.  Once again it was on the way home so we stopped in.  It's a really nice place and there were a few other day drinkers in there.  We said we were from Murphysboro and one guy said he was born there.  He was there with his son and they were related to some of the people we know.  They didn't have drafts but they did have Busch Light in the aluminum bottle things.  It was a really nice stop and I could have had a couple more but decided heading home was a smarter decision.
