Sanctuary LaSalle is part immersive art experience, part speakeasy-style bar (business in the front, party in the back), and all fun. A haven for folx who love live music, creative events, and good whiskey, Sanctuary is a safe space for everyone and a party seven days a week. Known for its gothic aesthetic, Sanctuary offers cheap beer, handcrafted cocktails, the best bartenders in the Starved Rock region, and LaSalle County’s largest disco ball. The ballroom is available for private rentals and regularly hosts special events. There’s always a surprise at Sanctuary.

Fun bar, pool table, dart boards. Karaoke on the nights I have been there. Very cool, unique decor. Great vibe each time I’ve gone.

This bar rocks, if you’re ever camping nearby and want to shoot some darts or pool and have a bevvy or two, this is the place. Great drink selection, good prices and stellar service. Corey took amazing care of us. If you’re dogs are friendly the bar is friendly
10/10 will be back!

If you’re looking for an off beat bar with a unique vibe, you’ve found it at Sanctuary. The staff is friendly and the space is unique. Go check them out for live music on the weekends or a chill night for a drink during the week.

Left with more friends than I came in with. Bartenders were friendly, and the venue had everything my friends and I were looking for. Cory was especially accommodating to some unusual requests; the “tajin” was just what I needed. Special shoutout to Dan as well – great long chat. We visited 5 days in a row.

On a weekend trip to Starve Rock, we were looking for a quiet bar to have a few cocktails and chill for a while prior to returning to our hotel. . With the bar being downtown, we thought it had to be a nice place. However, the place was dirty, dark, and very sketchy. Their selection of alcohol was limited. The clientele was questionable and the place reeked of weed, and not one person in there was friendly at all.
Not a place we would recommend nor return.

Em is a great bartender and very personable! The vibe in Sanctuary is very chill and friendly. We are from out of town and would definitely go out of our way to come back for a drink.

Great place. Great people. Awesome atmosphere. Very welcoming environment. They always have cool events going on each week. Karaoke, live bands, cool DJs, bingo, AIR HOCKEY! and more. <3

This place is grodyyyyyyy! The atmosphere is gross, the interior is gross, pretty much everything about it is gross. The owner tries really hard to be cool and alternative and instead it just comes across as really cheap and scummy. (Anarchy? Soooooooooooo edgy, lmao.) It attracts exactly the crowd you’d think it would which is why most people won’t step foot in it. It’s “Accountability Angel’s” favorite bar, if that tells you anything, lol. I look forward to the day it closes so downtown La Salle can continue to improve and look better.

Love this bar! Super funky and fun inside. Amazing venue space in the back and as someone who loves shooting pool, they have a very nice table to play on.

Awesome bar, great people! As an introvert it isn’t often I find a place where I’m instantly comfortable, but this is one of those places! I’ve met many fun people here, if you’re looking for an open, accepting, FUN place to enjoy yourself, this is it. And did you know they have a SKOOLIE bus where you get to take fun, SAFE adventures?!! My favorite bar in LaSalle hands down.
