The 49 best bars and drinks in Peoria

My wife and I wanted to have a quick lunch. We had eaten at One World before always had good service and their food was great. We both had the GYROS PLATTER this time ,turn out to be a great choice! As usual the food and service was excellent.Will eat here again,

Located in an unassuming building near the Bradley campus, this was a good find. Once in, it was a bit confusing because we saw no one, to include a hostess. We could hear patrons somewhere so we waited and someone came to seat us a couple of minutes later and took us to what seemed to be the restaurant side of the house? Once there and seated we got to view all of the themed artwork and items lending themselves to the ambience. It's a very chill and relaxing vibe. The table was clean, as were the utensils, rustic looking floor, and men's bathroom. The waiter was quick and friendly. Our made-from-scratch meals were served pretty quickly and was cooked well. Portions were good and especially for the price. It was noticeably less expensive for the quality of food and expansive options that were provided. Plenty of vegan options available, but I was recommended the Cuban Pulled Pork sandwich and it did not disappoint. Good spices, well cooked, and very filling. We will definitely return and bring friends/family to enjoy.

With the full information that I'm a neanderthal with the palette of a 12 yr old. Really neat little place with a menu that seems over complicated to me, but fortunately they have burgers and pizza in addition to the falderal items. Had a small thin crust sausage pizza. The sauce was sweet, but not too sweet. The crust was crisp and the cheese and toppings were plentiful. The server was quick, polite and attentive along with the rest of the staff being very welcoming. Definitely putting them into my rotation for Peoria visits.

Went there with my friend, and wow, what a view! The atmosphere was really nice, modern but cozy. We had some amazing salads—so fresh and flavorful. The meat dishes were on point too, super juicy and perfectly cooked. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. Prices felt a little high, but honestly, the whole experience was worth it. Would definitely come back!

Definitely easy to become a regular at a place like this. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very chill. 🌟👌 Again, the food.... 🤤

Big boss breakfast sandwich was amazing. The hash browns were perfectly crispy, not greasy and the sauce they put on the sandwich really made it. Service was great and you can tell it's a place people love to come back to

The Cubano pizza is the one pizza in Peoria you have to try. Add on the pickles and mustard and its amazing! The Cookie Dough Cheesecake was awesome and cute presentation for a take out order. DoorDashed on a Friday night and DoorDash had the correct expected time. The pizza was still hot!

Everything was great except our service. Once we got our delicious food we never saw our waitress again. We really wanted to try some of their Flights, but sadly got discouraged by our poor service. Lauren B.was our server. Once another young lady tracked her down we waited even longer for our check and finally ask another staff to cash us out. It was a real turn off after such good food.

Been here plenty of times but find it a bit inconsistent. Really enjoyed the last visit here. Abnormally quiet for a Thursday but we were sat quickly and the food was fresh. Tried some new things like the NA watermelon mocktail, hummus plate, and pot pie. We were satisfied with these! Their salads are always yummy and a good choice when you want something cold on a hot day.

My husband and I just happened to be in the area and decided to have lunch here a couple weeks ago. I'm a little behind on posting my pictures but the review is still going to be great. Upon walking in we were seated right away, there were quite a few people there but there was still plenty of tables available for a Sunday afternoon. When the waitress seated does she also brought us a large glass bottle of water and two glasses. As you look around the restaurant you notice that there is a loft with more tables and chairs where people are enjoying their lunch. We got the perfect little table, caddy corner right in the corner of the room. It almost felt as if we were the only ones there. We were greeted right away by a waitress and somebody that she was training, both ladies were very sweet. We told her that it was our first time there and she suggested we try and appetizer so we tried the Wisconsin cheese curds, they were beer battered, had white cheddar on the inside, and was served with ranch. They were great! We love going to places and trying different cheese curds and giving it a rating. These are fantastic I would come back just to have them again. For our main entree we both got the fried chicken sandwich. This came with pimento spread, fried onion, chipotle BBQ aioli, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a potato bun. It seemed a little bit pricey to order this for $17 but I mean, it really seems like the going right now when you do go out to eat. Whike we waited we had some cheese curds and water (that came in a glass jar.) Honestly the water tasted fresh and clean but having it be room temperature water was very unsatisfying. I usually only ever drink water but I guess I could have asked if they had some ice. It just wasn't very refreshing to have it be room temperature. The chicken tasted great I never had one before with pimento cheese on it, it was a really nice addition. I didn't have any room for dessert this time but this was a great meal and we will definitely be returning to try something new on the menu next time!

Absolutely one of my favorite places to drop in. Brock has to be one of the coolest bartenders in #Peoria! 🌟 The food was great! We tried the short rib ragu (🤤) and the tuna poke, and they were both phenomenal. Started off with a couple of dirty martinis, and then the Rasputin. You feel like you have space and privacy here. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. As a plant-lover, I was excited about the succulent wall. 😂 🌿

Located in downtown Peoria,this place is not real easy to find due to poor signage in my opinion. We stopped in for a late lunch on a Monday and we were just about the only ones in the restaurant. The hostess seated us at a dirty table so our server noticed and had us switch tables. They have an extension Bourbon list so I started with an Old Fashion. They make theirs with Old Forester bourbon which is not my favorite. I should have asked for something different. My wife was pleased they had a nice Gluten Free menu so she ordered the Bison burger with side salad. I ordered their Smoked Meatloaf sandwich. Our meals were brought out by the chef and he noticed he put croutons on my wife's salad which is a big no-no. He also brought her a turkey sandwich? The server admitted it was her mistake so while I ate my sandwich,my wife waited about 10 minutes for her meal . My sandwich consisted of smoked meatloaf on a hoagie roll topped with mashed potatoes,crispy onions and smokey tomato sauce. It was very tasty but I did not really see or tasted mashed potatoes. When my wife received her Bison burger there was blood from the meat on the plate .not very appetizing! She said the burger tho was very good and cooked medium well. Thyme Kitchen offers a variety of unique food items as well as an extensive bar menu but they just need to get their act together.

My husband and I had a pleasant evening out to celebrate my birthday! He ordered the Bison Burger and I ordered the Tuna Poke bowl! Both were very delicious! Just a little loud to be able to talk but we were sitting directly in front of the speaker! Our first time and definitely not our last to Thyme Kitchen!

The food was really good and they have a wonderful beer selection. I hit them right at a shift change while they were trying to set up for a private event, but they were very polite and accommodating for me as a single traveler in town on business. Ella was amazing and I appreciated the GM personally checking on me during my meal. Will add this to my places to return to when I’m back in Peoria!

Excellent food and service. The restaurant has a fantastic old school steakhouse vibe! My ribeye was grilled to perfection and the twice baked potato was beyond expectations.

Had a wonderful time, again! I did call ahead to place a reservation for 1. Im glad I did, it was packed! My server ardelle was attentive and definitely helped me pick a good wine choice. I had oysters, and the most delectable king crab legs as my dinner. I should have ordered dessert but I was so full. Compliments to the chefs here. This is my second time here. I'm always impressed with my dining experience. Moving down from Chicago, there are few fine dining places in this area. I've come twice now to celebrate my birthday and I plan on continuing this tradition with Jim's.

My husband and I have been dining at Jim’s for many years and it is always such a fantastic experience! The food is off the charts delicious and fairly priced. I love the atmosphere because it just takes you back to a time when dining out was all about the way the whole experience made you feel. We always feel welcome and like we are part of the family. The Comforts are kind people who care about the Peoria community and Susie is our favorite server. She knows I like my prosecco and remembers every time!

We were not asked if we were celebrating anything by the hostess or by the server. Just our 55th anniversary dinner. Anyway, the service was very good, very attentive. The food as well was very good, filet and filet medallions au poirve. However, we likely will not return as the noise level was over the top! Nothing soft to absorb it as it’s almost all wood including the ceiling. Got to the point where all we heard was everybody talking louder to be heard! Let us out of here!

Jim's Steakhouse truly delivers the best steaks in town! Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and always satisfying. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The bar area is also a fantastic spot to meet up with friends, enjoy a drink, and unwind. Highly recommend for both a great meal and a great night out!

Such a beautiful Steakhouse and with the Christmas decorations it is just gorgeous!!! This was our first time at this Steakhouse in Peoria as we normally go to the Bloomington location. The food was fantastic as always and the service was great! The only thing that made me raise an eyebrow is why we had to pay extra money for their house Brittany salad dressing?

Save your money! Went there for an anniversary dinner and reserved our table with that info. First, when approaching the check in area, 5 servers were sitting there taking up the chairs and crowding the check in stand. Then the hostess asked "who's up?" as if "who wants to wait on these people?" Not appropriate for a high end restaurant :( Our server never asked if we were celebrating anything special as we heard other servers ask their customers. Asked for a quiet, out of the way table weeks in advance of our reservation but were still seated in the middle of the restaurant tho several corner tables sat empty and were told those were "reserved". Our food was less than average - baked potato tasted like last night's leftovers. Prime rib was tough and the filet was just okay. Spent $125 and left feeling we overpaid for a disappointing experience. We will find someplace else to spend our money and celebrate special occasions! Sorry Jim's, you have lost our business.

This was our first time going to Last Chance Bar and Grill and they were very busy for Mother’s Day but the customer service was incredible! The ladies were running around like crazy trying to take care of everyone and did a great job at it. They also had wonderful food that was served fresh and their hand cut fries with actual cheese not nacho cheese was delish! Hometown feel with great food.

I really liked the deep fried shrimp. The coleslaw that came with it was great. My picky 4 year old tried both of these items. The cod fish sandwich and the fries were a bit bland for our taste. Their portion size is decent and reasonably priced. Loved the staff and the atmosphere. We will explore other items the next time we visit.

Food was ok....service was slow....short staffed. The waitress was trying her best and very nice and apologetic. We frequent this place a lot so we will always come back. I got the turkey club with waffle fries. Stacked to the ceiling sandwich.

Best Frisco I've ever had! My husband got the Philly cheese steak. Definitely a great atmosphere & out door seating!

Had supper one evening and breakfast the next morning. Both meals were amazing! Had Sam as our server for both; she was also amazing! Very enjoyable experience! There were a lot of highball tables. We had a group of 8 Saturday evening and were able to find a table immediately, but it was a highball table that is difficult for some in our group. But Sunday they accommodated our group of 11 at low tables.

Went for a tenderloin and they are usually delicious. Got take out only to get home and find it and the fries were very overcooked. Taste was not there and I’ll have to consider if an $18 tenderloin is worth the risk of another chance to get a bad one. Very unhappy since there were only 5 customers total and I seemed to be the only food order.

We chose this restaurant for breakfast and I was happy with the choice. The worst part about this restaurant is finding the entrance. Once you're in, it's a much better experience. I ordered the Mexican Skillet, with Sourdough Bread on the side. I really liked it. The portions are smaller than most breakfast/brunch restaurants, but the food was delicious. The chilli on the skillet was good and the bread was very good. They seemed to put some flavored butter on it that made it taste incredible. The service was alright. The filled our drinks quickly, but they mixed up orders. We received the wrong sides and the hash browns were not cooked as we requested. Overall, would come back and would recommend!

Ive gone twice. Once a year ago and there were 3 of us in the whole bar. Once recently with a very large group. Upon getting there we found the bar already had a very large group inside. There was a single bartender working, did not get her name but she's short and red headed. She did such an incredible job handling so many people by herself. Ive seen bars with less patrons and more bartenders provide far worse service. Also its beautiful inside. Photos are from my first visit when the place was nearly empty!

I went to Martinis for $5 well drinks 🍸. The atmosphere was excellent. The building is beautiful. The bartender was great. Great fun 😁.

This establishment offers a lovely atmosphere for socializing. The ambiance is truly inviting and conducive to conversation. While the food and drinks are standard fare, the comfortable setting more than compensates. The gaming area provides additional entertainment. It's a pleasant place to spend time with friends.

Bouncer may follow you into the bathroom here. Someone went into the bathroom between Martini's and Blue Duck and he followed them in and questioned them while they were actively using the bathroom. They were in the appropriate bathroom and there was no question of this. For your own safety you probably at least want to consider not using the bathroom while you're here. You may be followed.

This place was exactly what I thought it would be. The atmosphere was so neat. There were seats with tables and seats at the bar such a great start to a night out! Now let's talk about the martinis...... so the menu can seam a little much but they have the menu on their website with full description of each one and I decided to choose 2 before we went so I can try them.... first was the chocolate covered cherry martini..... so delicious and tasted exactly like a chocolate covered cherry in a glass. next was the Famous bomb pop and that is what it tasted like for sure and it was so pretty and layered like a bomb pop so good next time I will be getting the less sweet ones but so good!! If you go check out the menu before hand so you know what you can look forward to or just have one of the wait staff to surprise you I know you won't be disappointed 😉

This is a very unsafe and discriminatory place for any person to attend. The bouncer at this bar harassed my friend in the bathroom because he thought he was a trans male. He first asked one of my other friends if it was a male that went into the bathroom. My friend told him yes and the bouncer said... "but he had tits". It is very creepy first of all for him to even be regarding another human being this way. He then entered into the men's bathroom after my friend and while he was using an actual urinal because he is a man, asked to see his ID and asked him if he was a man. My friend was incredibly upset by this as was his entire family and our whole group. It was very humiliating for him. We decided to take our business elsewhere after this. One of the workers was informed of what happened and did not offer even to give us the money we JUST paid to get into their establishment or offer any other condolences. The front door worker then yelled at our entire group that we needed to leave because we were standing outside trying to regroup and figure out where to go next. This is very clearly an unsafe and unfriendly environment for anyone who does not appear to be heterosexual or cisgendered. I imagine it is also not safe for anyone who uses the bathrooms there because there is a possibility that this man will come in and accost you to try to find out what is between your legs. I am very disgusted with all of the people in this establishment and I expect the owner to do something drastic about this place. We are definitely telling everyone we know about our experience there. You don't deserve to have a business if you are discriminating against ANYONE or making ANYONE feel unsafe. P. S. The music was also terrible and incredibly piercing to my ears. Overall my experience at this place has never been good. Every time I have gone in there it has had a vibe of being extremely stuck up.

Alexander’s Steakhouse in Peoria Illinois is an “old”fashioned steakhouse that is a weird cross between a senior citizen buffet style restaurant and a fine dining steakhouse. The wine bins had really solid wines, but the establishment still uses plastic tablecloths, paper napkins and is about as dated in appearance as you can get; the carpet was old, dirty and had years in it. The wait staff was courteous and attentive, but a request for a cocktail while acknowledged when made was forgotten about for 20 minutes until a second request was made. The food was lackluster at best: the medium rare steak was medium and dry—therefore it was tough—and $38 for an add on 6oz lobster tail was outrageous. Moreover, the steak was over seasoned, and the sautéed peppers & onions accompaniment an odd pairing with a NY Strip. All-in-all the meal wad off! Alexander’s Steakhouse in Peoria, Illinois, is an odd mix of old-school steakhouse and senior center buffet. While the wine selection was surprisingly solid, the setting felt tired—plastic tablecloths, paper napkins, and worn, dirty carpeting, dragged the experience down. Service was polite and attentive, but inconsistent. A cocktail order was acknowledged but forgotten for nearly 20 minutes until I reminded them. (The chocolate martini was the best part of my dining escaped). Unfortunately, the food didn’t redeem the experience: it was lackluster at best. My medium-rare steak arrived medium, and it was quite dry. The $38 upcharge for a small 4oz lobster tail was absurd. The steak itself was over-seasoned, and pairing it with sautéed peppers and onions felt mismatched for a NY Strip. Overall, the meal missed the mark. A steakhouse simply cannot fail to properly cook a steak!

Great steakhouse to give a try. The salad bar was unique and reminded me of the days before Covid, but had limited options. The ribeye was full of flavor and juicy and cooked perfectly (you can also grill it yourself). I do wish there were more side options. Staff was attentive to our needs, but don’t take their pens! Tablecloths reminded of something at my aunt or grandmother’s house. We sat next to a high traffic area which was less than desirable. If you are in Peoria make sure to give them a try. I will definitely comeback.

Salad bar is very good, all the usual foods on a salad bar. We had ribeye steak, bake potato, and salmon, sweet potato fries. Everything was very good!

Good steak house, nice atmosphere. You can also go to the grill and cook your meat.

Absolutely Amazing!! The first time we decided to cook our own steaks. It was fun, however, it was very warm near the grill. Our second visit we decided to let the chef cook our steaks. Fantastically delicious!!! The food, drinks and service are top notch!! Highly Highly Recommend!!

Start your journey as you walk into an old paper mill factory and immerse yourself into a new experience. We decided to have lunch and made this our destination. The interior is well done yet preserves some of the past. Take a walk around and explore and. Heck out the framed art and articles. We chose a water view table and ordered drinks. Waitress was great, ordered our food and decided to let them cook it so we could just talk while waiting. Food delivered and it looked great. Steaks were cooked as requested. Lunch was delicious, definitely a return trip is in our furture.

A Peoria stalwart tradition. You will not find a better steak, period, full stop! The facilities are spacious, comfortable and well lit. During the season, outdoor seating is to be enjoyed and the views of the marina and The Illinois River provide a picturesque backdrop. Reservations are always a good plan. The hammered copper-top bar adds a cherry warmth while you imbibe in a very well appointed bar and a deep selection of offerings. The bar staff are one of the best in the region and will take great care of you at the bar seating. The scent of the coal fired grills fills the air, promising a steak prepared perfectly by the grill attendants, or if you choose, you can grill your own. I prefer the professionals take the task on with a perfect Pittsburgh-style sear on a well marbled ribeye. The steaks are all on display in refrigerated cabinets for you to choose the exact steak you want, if you so desire. The cuts offered are generous and properly done. All cuts are usually available, except on extra busy nights which may sell-out on certain cuts. Absolute steal heaven at Alexander's Steakhouse. The wait staff is well trained, attentive, competent and friendly. The menu offers a huge variety of items and will not disappoint those who do not prefer steak. Alexander's salad bar is famous throughout the region and is hard to beat whatever city you are in. Going to dinner at Alexander's Steakhouse is an excursion to look forward to and enjoy great food with great friends and associates! Well done to the ownership and staff at Alexander's Steakhouse for taking the time and displaying the pride to do what you do. KUDOS!!!!!

Nice location and ambiance. The cheese bites, corned beef sandwhich, and bangers & mash are all good choices, but the standout was the shepherd's pie. Nice selection of beers and ciders.

Mmmm. I know people do black flips for this establishment. Not a huge fan. Service was good. Little more attention to detail on food being served. As far as my entree was concerned 😧 Every one’s else was good. I will be back.

Zero stars. My brown bread was moldy. While disgusting on its own, it makes me nervous that the rest of the food may also have been old or improperly handled/prepared. This was my first (and last) time ordering from this restaurant. Ordered via Doordash, review is for the food only.

Great place for food and entertainment. Showed up not knowing there would be live music outside. It was a warm evening but worth the sweat.

The waitress was great, the atmosphere great & my friends were great, however, my food was NOT!! I chose the marinated beef sandwich. It was dry, HIGHLY overspiced & barely warm. I definitely would try another sandwich if I were you!!

We had a great dinner here last week! My aunt and uncle brought us here. There was a bit of a wait which seemed crazy for a Monday night but we survived. lol Our food was amazing. I was disappointed that there was only one Irish cider on tap but at least it’s Magners. The place was packed and really loud but we had a pleasant dinner would definitely go back again when we are in town next.

We had a rehearsal dinner there last Friday night and it was perfect. We reserved the private space, we had our own waitress, the food was hot and amazing. I would highly recommend Kelleher's. Kara was great to work with!

Magnificent place, it was my first time at a restaurant of that elegance and I have found a new favorite! The food was incredible and the wait staff were so very kind and friendly. We got plenty of time to adjust between courses and the atmosphere was calm and the music brought back some wonderful memories. 100% recommend, I will be visiting again!

We hosted our wedding reception at Connected, and while many aspects of the experience were wonderful, I do want to share both the highlights and an important detail that others may want to know. First, the positives: the food was absolutely amazing! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—our guests are still talking about it. The staff were equally fantastic: professional, kind, and attentive throughout the evening. Tony did a great job of rearranging space to give my husband and I our own table. They truly went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel welcome and taken care of! However, I was disappointed that we didn’t receive full access to the private space as we had originally discussed and planned for. Leading up to the wedding, it was communicated that we would have the entire room, with a minimum spend required to secure it. We met those requirements, but on the day, a curtain was used to divide the space and another party was placed on the other side. This wasn’t what we had expected and, admittedly, it did affect the atmosphere we had envisioned for our reception. That said, I deeply appreciate all the effort the team put into making our day special. I just hope this helps future couples to have clear communication and confirmation on space usage in advance.

Lauren & Taylor took very good care of us. Our meals were outstanding. We will be back soon!!!! Taylor again took such good care of us. A real sweetheart. Food & drinks excellent as always. Honorable mention: Tony was our server too. Did a fine job.

I have been here for dinner three times and every time it has been a 10/10. The food is flavorful, fresh, creative, and I never leave wanting more. My favorites are the carpaccio appetizer and wild boar entree. Their cocktails are delicious as well. The staff is genuinely friendly and they make a point to make everyone feel welcomed. I also think that they are fairly priced given the excellent quality of the food and portion size. Peoria is lucky to have Connected.

Using gift cards we got during Christmas time from Costco, my fiancé took me on a fancy date to connected for my birthday! We sat in the entry room and it was absolutely beautiful, with nice soft lights and a built-in water area that set a very nice atmosphere and ambience. Being February, this was one of the coldest weeks of the year, and I was in a shorter dress so I was slightly cold in the entry room (for if it applies to you) but it wasn’t that bad. Walking back to the blue room, which I think was the main area they had a very cool waterfall, and the staff was extremely accommodating and nice. Jaimie and April Helped us, getting us a dessert for both our engagement and my birthday along with a beautiful rose, which was an extremely nice add-on/gesture! We will definitely be returning, next time sitting in the main room 😁😁

Food was very nice. Service could have been better, it was a bit slow. Desserts were top notch and you get a lighted candle show as well for any kind of celebration.

This restaurant was highly recommended to us by long time Peoria residents. We are used to fine dining in larger cities like Dallas and San Antonio where we moved from to come back to Peoria. We were seated by the front door next to a large loud party, and though my spouse was 2 feet from me, I could not hear what he was saying. This did not make for a good environmental experience. The waitress was nice, but could not get my drink order correct. She asked twice before she brought me the wrong drink. We did get that straightened out. My husband asked for sweetner for his tea and it took more than 10 minutes for it to come to the table. Soup and salad were unremarkable. Average for taste and presentation. Both my husband and I ordered pasta. I had the ravioli and he chose the Fettuccine Alfredo. My ravioli was "okay." The sauce was basically flavorless and very thin. Not tomato forward or any flavor necessarily. My husband's Fettuccine Alfredo was like soup! The sauce was thin and not creamy and cheesy like good Alfredo should be. Overall, this will be our last visit to this restaurant unless someone invites us and we are obliged to make an exception. I think it is sad that this was supposed to represent fine dining in Peoria. Maybe my expectations are too high but I think Peoria deserves more.

2 Chez is an absolute must-visit if you're in or near Peoria! After dozens of visits, I can honestly say I've never had a single negative experience. Todd, Cyndi, and Isaac Hohulin do an incredible job running both the bar and restaurant. Some personal menu favorites include the calamari, beef tartar, and oysters for appetizers, and the rack of lamb, halibut, and maple leaf farm duck for entrees. Don't skip dessert – the bananas foster and bread pudding are amazing. Plus, their soups, salads, coffee, and mixed drinks are always top-notch. Truly one of my favorite restaurants in all of Illinois! I recommend planning ahead and making a reservation. Bar and farm table are first come first serve.

5 stars all around!! By far the best steak meal I’ve had in a long time! Highly suggest the Beef Diane that is just so juicy, cooked perfectly, paired with delicious mashed potatoes and a delicious sauce. I’d also suggest the Bison NY Strip. Don’t be afraid! It’s juicy, tender, delicious and different! My partner got this and we ended up splitting our meats so we could enjoy both cuts. We paired these with a to die for Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini. This was probably one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had! We completed our meal with the bananas foster. You just have to get this. It’s not even a question, you must get this. Our service was phenomenal, even with the 6-8 tables she was helping. The whole vibe is great and totally unexpected from the outside. A great stop if in the area and a great surprise on our trip. Check them out on TikTok and ask for Lacey as your waitress.

Such a personable staff! Very sweet bartenders and food was amazing. My wife and I went for our anniversary and we had the best time. We didn’t make a reservation, which I recommend doing. They still were able to get us in at the bar thankfully. We will 100% be back!!

Best calamari I've ever had! Sauce was creamy and calamari meaty. Our server was sweet, caring and attentive. Our steaks were juicy and flavorful. Oh and I also love the mashed potatoes.

Hands down the best meal we've had in Peoria. I don't normally write a review unless it's a bad experience to warn people but...... 2Chezs inspired me from start to finish. I'll start by saying we've tried to dine here a couple times and reservations are always booked but recently realized that there is a community table so we tried last weekend but sadly people were waiting and rushing to get that table before the doors even opened people were lined up. We reserved a table for next weekend since we didn't get the table. Fast forward next weekend. It's a blizzard out and -3° out but we trucked it in to give it a try. Thr small restaurant was packed like the weather wasn't even an issue. Our reservation was for 7:30 but we arriveda little early thinkingthey may not be busy with the blizzard outside and temps steadily dropping. We were greeted by the co-owner and the chefs wife as we walked in, our table wasn't ready so we sat and waited at the bar. The ambience of the place was eclectic and effortlessly cool. Everything was perfect. Music was being played on an actual record player which I love and feel that music just sounds better on a record player. We were greeted by the chef/owner and talked with him for a bit and watched him flombay a bananas foster as his 2 sons bartended. The drinks are made with fresh ingredients like hand pressed ginger and freshly made syrups and lemonade. I had an aperol spritzer, my son had a peach lemonade and my husband had a whiskey mule. We were already impressed and loving the vibe and our drinks were delicious. We watched as they made smoked drinks and muddled fresh ginger. We also went and checked out the cool bathroom decor and played a game of I-spy with my son with the fun decorations. We finally get to our table and our the chef kindly gave us an appetizer for the wait. The bruschetta was perfectly seasoned and my husband who doesn't like raw tomatoes even tried and liked it. I was shocked! We ordered fries with tarragon aoli as well for an app and my son destroyed them and said it was the best aoili ever and wanted more!!! We ordered another round of drinks, the brubaker and a tart cherry mule. By the time we had eaten our appetizers we had already began to plan our next trip back to 2chez, it was that good! We had a hard time deciding what to get even though the menu is small.(which it should be) Everything sounded good! Living in Colorado we were spoiled by amazing restaurants and unfortunately majority of restaurants in Peoria that we have visited are just ok and the food is far from fresh or made from scratch and we find ourselves eating at home more because we're never really impressed. For dinner I had the scallops with lobster cream sauce and lyonaise potatoes, my husband had the filet with mashed potatoes and veggies and my son had the special of the night a veal tbone with a demiglaze and lyonaise potatoes. We were blown away by how perfectly cooked and seasoned everything was, not a drop of food was left on our plates. My son also had creme brulee for dessert. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back. The only complaint I have is that we waiting this long to finally eat here!

A locally owned small business in Peoria. A good selection of wine and Italian food. Their bread was hot and the butter was really good. The fried calamari is a nice shareable portion. I got the duck (which was a tad bit chewy for my taste). The scallops were really good. Overall a decent place but pricey.

My wife and I went for our anniversary and I can safely say it was among the best meals I've ever had. The food and drinks were perfect, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I can't wait to go back!

I did an engagement session in downtown Peoria, and Kenny's staff was so friendly! I treated the couple to an after shoot drink, and the staff allowed us to take a few photos because the couple enjoys date nights here!

Great place to go before a show at civic center. Irish nachos are fire with the tots. Great selection of beverages. Reuben sandwich was excellent. The corn beef and bacon mac n cheeses was a great side dish.

Chicken strips DO NOT come out fluffy like the ones in the picture. I got them like that ONE time. The last 3 times I ordered from here, they came out extremely overcooked, batter stuck to the chicken, crunchy/hard, dry... completely non-edible. These are going in the trash just like the last few times. The problem is, they won't even take your order unless you pay up front, so there are no options when they aren't cooked right. I give up. Never again.

Guinness on tap. Corn beef quesadillas are great. Downtown location. Irish nachos, Mac n cheese, all good.

Portabello fries are excellent! Good burger, especially at 2AM. No big issues with service, but they had one guy doing too much in the front. I get it that late, you're not going to have full staff. The bartender was friendly and efficient. Maybe I just hit a busy moment. But would definitely do again!

The food is good here! So is the service, just ask for Taylor 🙂 There is a nice variety of adult beverages on the menu and on tap. Adult gaming is also available at this location. Because this location is in downtown Peoria, don't count on getting a parking spot out front. There is lots of parking available nearby, just be sure to bring change for the meter.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon to get a couple drinks after a wedding. Kenny’s has a wide selection of drinks with a beer for everyone’s tastes. I got a mango wheat beer that I really liked. We also decided to get some pretzel bites. They were very different than what I was expecting. It seems like they took a soft pretzel, cut it up, fried the pieces, and sprinkled some seasoning on it. It really worked. Also, the bar staff were super friendly. Coming from Chicago, the prices were so cheap it felt like a dream.

We ate house burgers for the $9.99 lunch special. They came with homemade chips and a drink. Fries were an extra $2.50. The beef for the burgers are from Pottstown and ground in the restaurant. They have gluten free options. They have coke products There are lots of tv's with games on them. They have a gaming area for gambling, We enjoyed our food.

One of Peoria's best trivia nights on Thursday. Good craft beer selection and cocktails at very reasonable prices. Food is good and vegetarians can get by with selections off the menu. Pizzas, wings and burgers are all good. Wait staff is friendly and quick.

We had a party in the back room. Spent over 500 in just food. 2 of us ordered a meatball Sandwich it was burnt.they remade our food. Still sucked. We all complained. They still made up pay for it. Unbelievable. I will never eat here again. Otherwise. It was a solid visit.

Came here as a group of 11 after dropping our nephew off for college at Bradley University right across the street. We were seated within 5 minutes which was a bit surprising despite it being a little busy. The bar had televisions both huge & small covering most of the walls from sports channels to regular television for the kids. They even had a mini casino in the back of the place with different games you could win from. I ordered the nachos & my boyfriend the devils sweat burger along with some habanero extra hot boneless wings. It was a bit of a wait to recieve our order but I could understand since it was a lot of us & boy did they deliver! My nachos was a double serving, the melted cheese was amazing! I didn't care for the salsa to much though, it tasted like they made it with beer. My boyfriends burger though was AMAZING! Made me regret ordering the nachos 😂😂 it tasted like you were eating a whole steak! Extremely delicious. Now as for those habanero wings... boy lemme tell you, did they put the hot in EXTRA HOT. I could only eat 2 of them cause my stomach started hurting. Now I love spicy food but that was a little TOO spicy for me 😂😂

My wife and I found the food too salty. Staff was friendly and attentive. They were having trivia night (Thursdays), which included an emcee on the PA system. Had we known that, we would have chosen a different restaurant. We saw no mention of the event on our google search. In conclusion, it's a better bar than it is, a grill.

Ive always liked this bar, but I recently went there for St. Patrick's Day 2017 and had a blast. Specials were good, there was a breakfast buffet, and the cherry on top was the free shuttle service that took my friends and me to the parade downtown. Thanks for the fun time!

Fancy a west coast favorite? Check out the Secret Menu burger, an ode to In-an-Out's burger offering with special sauce in the heart of the Midwest.

Really cool spot. I've never been to a place where you scan a card and pour your own beer; that was fun. Visited a little early in the evening but would like to see what the night is like there. Some cool arcade games to play, some video gambling, and a stage for live music.

It is beautiful that they go through the place out for Roy, and Parker. Kind of in the area to keep the flame from Pizza works. Open my open and bright. This is clean, the help was very friendly and and proud. Seems like a good room to be up with the band as well as back from the band so whichever do you prefer. This is a highlight of Terry and icel that I had that experience before. Tip them for me and watch for those Thursday night open jams.

Such a cool spot! I came here while on a trip from California and had so much fun. The DIY beer taps are awesome, and all of the games like pinball and ski ball were a blast! I definitely recommend this spot.

Love the new expanded bar/game room with a stage. Also looking forward to some more West Coast IPAs on the new added tappers!

Cool spot to try a bunch of different beers in quantities that work for you. The decor has a Rustic American feel with a good amount of seating. I can only imagine what the patio is like when the weather is warmer.

Wonderful hospitality! They allowed us to photograph some engagement photos in their space! Such a vibe!

One of my favorite places for drinking and trivia. They also have good food and great staff and outside seating area often with great entertainment in the summer

It's one of the many gem restaurants in Peoria Heights, IL! Our favorite is the bacon and blue fries! Today, they had a marshmallow cranberry mule that was beautiful and delicious! The staff is always delightful and fun as well. Perfect for a trendy date night or small group!

I have been to this spot on numerous occassions while on business and the beer is always crisp, food always fresh and top tier, and the service is always not far behind. To get: Cajun dry rub wings with ranch Cheddar Bacon Burger with cajun fries

Absolutely LOVE this restaurant and bar. The food always comes out tasting amazing. The bartenders especially Monica really know their drinks and make them perfectly. Highly suggest the special if they have one for the night, because it is always very flavorful and delicious. Their pulled pork, El Cubano, Patty Melt, fries, salt n vinegar chips all so good with lost of flavor. The Publik House Cosmo and the Cherry Lime Aid are excellent drinks. The price and amount of food is great.

Sat outside on the patio, awesome for people watching. Blueberry wings are a must try. Blue cheese fries made me rethink my opinion on blue cheese. Everything was a perfect cook! Just sorry I dug into it all before I grabbed pics to share. 😉

Pros: great food, very friendly staff. Fries were great as other reviewers said (although not as good as weavers on the corner of willow knolls and radnor rd... they have the BEST fries around.) 😉 Cons: very loud and crowded... but as expected. We were there on a Thursday evening at 8 pm and had to wait almost an hour to get oud food, even though there were only 2 of us in our party. They were very busy! Added note: the candy bacon is sweet but also VERY SPICY! There's pepper seeds on it, I think. Just FYI!!! 🔥

This place was amazing!!! I had the Parmesan Truffle Fries, Their award winning Mac and Cheese and Patty Melt. First off the Patty Melt was delicious 😋. The bread was nice and soft. The burger was cooked to perfection and cheese was melted and tasty. It came with a delicious Thousand Island Sauce. 10/10 2nd the Mac and Cheese. I see why it is Award Winning. It was truly perfect. It was flavorful, Ooey Gooey, cheesey. It had little pieces of bacon in it that was divine. The bread crumbs on top were tasty and toasted to perfection. 10/10 best Mac and Cheese I've ever had, and I've had a lot!! Last but not least the Parmesan Truffle Fries. The Parmesan on the fries were jus a little to salty but still overall great fries. I didn't taste any truffle at all. It came with a Garlic Aioli sauce,. which was bad in my opinion. I couldn't taste any garlic and it had a little sour taste to eat. Fries 8/10 Garlic sauce 2/10. Shout out to the Chefs/Cooks in the back, they did amazing. The presentation was beautiful. Every thing that came out of that kitchen looked Amazing. Shout out to my Waitress Natalie she was awesome and very nice. Publik House 9.5/10 Sauce Game 7/10. Portion game 10/10 there was enough food to feed 3 people. Price game 10/10. Especially for the amount of food you get. They are 1 of my top 2 best restaurants I've been to.

Burgers are really good. The dry rub wings were delicious. I had to wait 20 mins for my drink, and then I my burger came to the table after everyone was finished eating.

A great experience. Our server, I believe her name was Toni, as top notch...and it didn't stop with her, all the staff were amazing. the salmon and meatloaf are top tier and the au gratin potatoes are some of the best I have ever had. The bar selection is vast for a smaller location as well. I'm glad to have found this gem of a place.

My wife and I were in Peoria for an appointment and decided to visit charming Peoria Heights. I just had one of the best sandwiches (and the best fries!) I’ve had in many years at the Hearth Restaurant. My wife enjoyed equally delicious salmon croquettes and greens. The inside is elegantly cozy, but as it was a beautiful day, we sat outside on their umbrella-lined street patio. Tim, our server, was friendly and attentive, the owner/manager was welcoming, and the food was reasonably priced and outstanding. Highly recommend!

Service was great but. Had the Rubin sandwich with fries. I'm not a picky eater but the corn beef and cabbage had no flavor. She brought out horseradish, didn't help. Had a bite of the burger, very good!

It was my first time visiting here and it was such a splendid experience! I went for lunch and the food was delicious. I got the salmon salad which came with candied pecans, carrots, and cranberries and a smoky blue cheese dressing! For $16 the plate was huge of salad and a decent sized salmon piece. The waitstaff were immediately kind. I would love to go back and try the quiche. I will be back again. Thanks for making us feel welcome for lunch!

Finally, a place where you can get a variety of higher-end food, great service, and feel like it's a place worthy of dressing up for. I haven't been to a restaurant like this since I left Chicago. A great place to take a special someone or to have a nice anniversary dinner. It happened to be my birthday, and my daughters picked it out. I will return!

The service and ambiance were exactly what we were hoping for. Very friendly and attentive server. I had the duck and they recommended medium to medium rare. I prefer it cooked through so I sent it back to be cooked a little longer and then it was great. My husband had the lamb and a caesar salad and said both were great. Not pictured: crab cakes and creme brulèe... both were really good! I'd go back for appetizers, wine, and dessert! Edited to add: they offered bread to other tables but when we realized it we were waiting for dessert.. I love bread but can't speak to what it's like here since our waiter never mentioned it.

Nothing more to say the food is excellent. We had take out because we couldn’t get a reservation. Still great food and service. We had lamb chops and steak with salad and mashed potatoes. It was awesome next time we hope to be able to get reservations.

What an incredible place to spend a nice day! Cocktails are great, but I've never had ribs or wings like this. The atmosphere is modern and cool, and my group really enjoyed the variety of music they played while we were there. Definitely planning to go back soon, especially as it seems they change their menu on occasion. Yum!

The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. We had crab dip, Moscow mules, and the double cheeseburger. Everything was really good and the cheeseburger was the best one I’ve ever had.

Great vibe and atmosphere! Loved the live music. Good seating selection outside ranging from couches, small tables and larger tables. Just went here for drinks so I cannot speak to the food options.

Very nicely curated place and menu. Love the rooftop bar vibe. Drinks are a little $$

My husband & I visited the 12 Bar Lounge for the first time last night, I noticed when I pull up to the location how nice of an area it was, parking wasn't a problem. We went around the back of the building and took the elevator up. Upon walking out of the elevator he's a big window where you can see down at the parking lot below. You turn right and go into the restaurant there was a nice set of doors with a design etched into the glass window. Upon walking into the restaurant/ lounge area we noticed a lot of open tables and a long fancy bar. We walked around the corner and we seen what look like a garage door wide open and people out on the rooftop of the restaurant sitting at tables. Everybody was outside because they were awaiting a special guest appearance from someone who was playing that night at 6 pm. It was a very beautiful area with red umbrellas and in red cushions on the couch has it was very comfortable and welcoming! We wanted to sit outside but there wasn't any more tables so we sat inside for this visit. There were such beautiful views out the windows and everything was so clean and it was very spacious. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer and they were very tasty, a little bit pricey at $12 but still great flavor and then our 2 meals were both right around $12 also. You can tell that the chicken with hand breaded it had a nice flavor to it. Our waiter was a young man and he was very attentive and accommodating. I love to the huge barn door that was inside of the bar area and it's just a very comfortable place to be, we will be returning!

Everything is great but plus size people beware because these chairs are not fat people friendly. They are small and tight! So if you want to go then go because it is a nice place and the atmosphere and food is awesome but those chairs haha yeah it for thick thighs!!!

Our band played a private party there. There was a buffet, and the food was great! It is a very comfortable and inviting place with a rooftop deck. The staff is friendly and efficient. There is a fully stocked bar. What else is there to say?

Dive bar. Treated great. Small but fun atmosphere. It was busier than I expected it to be. Will go again.

This is a great neighborhood bar and they had a food truck that was amazing. Servers are friendly and good beers on tap too. They have new outdoor expanded space.

Love this small town bar, great laid back vibes. The pudding shots are EXCELLENT!!! And so much fun! They have a pretty good selection of craft beers and have the trusted domestic light available… I came in for Bloody Mary’s today, I’ve struggled to find a good one in Peoria but Ashton’s are reliably excellent

Full truth did not try the food outside of pudding shots. The pudding shots are excellent. Fine bartenders, funky local low-key. Great place and fabulous smokers area. Bring chalk.

Perfect neighborhood bar!

The atmosphere has returned to a friendly environment. Live Music Thur&Sun, Taco Tuesday and grilling on the weekend. Crafts, Domestic and a nice rotation of Drafts including nitro.

Even though my "proper" neighborhood bar is the Hillside on Sheridan, I consider the Tartan my preferred neighborhood bar because this is where my people are at. The atmosphere and clientele is top notch for a local hole in the wall 👍

First time visiting for our Anniversary tonight. Great service, fantastic food. Pricey but worth it for freshness & atmosphere. Please support placed like this in central Illinois!

I brought my friend from St.Louis to Black Band Distillery for some locally made bourbon and local cocktails. My friend loved the house bourbon. I tried a pulp fiction cocktail. My drink was great . We tried the Cajun wings with our drinks. The bar staff, (where we sat)were excellent. Our drinks were quick to be refilled and were professionally prepared. Outstanding atmosphere in the building. We met some interesting people there also enjoying the bourbon and food. I will be returning soon.

The go fig or go home cocktail is amazing! We hung out at the bar while we waited for a table and had a few drinks. This atmosphere is very unique. It's industrial yet super classy! The burger was definitely one of my favorite burgers in town! The burger patty itself was so flavorful. It's not loaded with a bunch of stuff to add flavor. It's just that good on its own! I'm not sure what type of olives those are but they are now my favorite! Also the oil/butter mixture they are in was so good we ordered a side of bread to dip them in it. Good dessert is hard to find and it was fantastic here! Everything we had was so dang delicious!

Black Band had easily become our favorite date night. We arrived at 4:00 and each had three cocktails that were equally unique and delicious. At 5:00 our dining experience started. We shared four of the small plates from the new menu and they were so delicious and full of flavor! The dumplings and bone marrow are some of the best dishes you will have in Peoria! We tried to finish the amazing carrot cake sundae desert, but were too stuffed! This was our first time sitting upstairs and the ambiance is so beautiful up there! Our server Marco was also outstanding! He described every single ingredient in each dish and even knew where some were locally sourced from. This place is outstanding in every way from bar to food to service!

I need to come here more! Each time I’ve been here, I’ve been very impressed. The food is next level. The atmosphere is cool. Love the music. The house made spirits are not the only thing this place has to offer. Would be a great venue for a date or group outing.

Very cool place. Helpful staff, neat atmosphere and unique menu. Sat at the bar and ordered drinks only, but were given a happy hour menu at 4 that included food and drinks. We tried their bourbon neat, coffee liqueur neat and two of their craft cocktails. All were great. Lots of seating at the bar, surrounding l, outdoor and maybe even a second floor. As we were walking out, a large party was arriving for their reservation so can accommodate large parties.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The bourbon is decent. Bartenders couldn't answer simple question about the products. I ordered a grilled cheese and an old fashion. 18 dollars is ridiculous for what showed up. Very little cheese, but swimming in the berry sauce. The 15 dollar Old Fashion wasn't OK. I wish you the best.

Hidden in the middle of Peoria, a great place to spend an afternoon. You can sit inside or outdoors, great atmosphere. Many activities, live music, volleyball, and dogs are allowed. Whenever you have a chance, stop in and enjoy.

Phenomenonal location for a intimate live show. Possibly the best outdoor venue in the Peoria area for intimacy and chill vibes. Bonus points for the pups running around living their best life 😎✌️✨

Feels a bit like one of Peoria's best kept secrets - affordable, dog friendly, EXTENSIVE outdoor area with a patio, music stage, beach volleyball courts, disc golf baskets, and fire pit. Like a dream Midwest backyard! New favorite summertime spot! Note that they only serve Butch's pizza and drinks.

A great place for a drink. This place is a wonderful place for live music. It has an outdoor stage and the setting is awesome. No food but who needs it when you have an atmosphere like this place. Stop in for a drink!

Great spot for Peoria hipsters and those who love a good time outdoors without children! Not sure how sand volleyball will change the atmosphere, but it's coming soon! Nice piece of the Colorado lifestyle once you step out of the small bar into the backyard oasis!

The place is easily confused with a small shed, but it's got a unique atmosphere inside. I was born in the 80s, so I never experienced the 70s, but this place "feels like" it's a time capsule of that decade. Great music played the entire time I was there, and the bartender kindly comped my diet coke. I think there are some activities and dining outside also.

There is not a more friendly, fun, happening tavern in the Peoria area. I have nothing but praise for the Friendly Valley Tavern. Their bartenders are fantastic. Great Jam band and Hippie music playing in the background. Stop in for a few, I promise you will not be disappointed.

A very nice place to get drinks, food and hang out with friends and family. They have a variety of drinks you can order. I ordered Strawberry blonde. It's very good!!! The food here is also impressive. The pulled pork nacho is recommended. The staff here are very nice, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere here is especially beautiful both inside and outside. They decorated the place very well. I enjoyed it!!

Beautiful stone church turned into an eatery. Was a Presbyterian Church back in 1887. Looks like maybe in the 90s a Freemasonry group bought it and then eventually another family bought it and made it into a restaurant. Some prominent family I think even had their husband's ashes in it at one point...So it has an interesting history. Just do a search on it and you can find out more. The food was good. The fries are battered and tasty. The burger patty was more like a smash patty. I did not eat it with a bun. I asked for it rare and it actually did come with a little pink in it. Tasty meat. My son had the Asian wrap and he loved the flavor and crunch -said it was not too sweet. He enjoyed it. Service. They were all sweet but it felt discombobulated. Like the hostess didn't really know where she was taking people. It took a while for us and other tables to be served or greeted. Almost like they this was they first week open and they're trying to work out the bugs. Not sure what was up, but like I said, they were all sweet and apologetic. (But if you read other reviews, they consistently seem to have this issue. It'd be cool if they can figure it out) I'd like to come back and try their fish fry and the Scotch eggs

Really enjoyed our visit, the place has a great vibe. The atmosphere and building are really fun and unique. The service was fantastic. The food and cocktails were okay, not bad but we're just fair. I'd definitely be back, the atmosphere and service are the real stars here.

9-20-25 Been here several times over the past couple years and each time it's a great experience. The food, atmosphere, service and patrons are all great! It can get very busy at times so be prepared to spend some time waiting on your order but believe me it's well worth the wait. The fact that it's in an over 100 year old church is awesome in itself. We'll definitely be back soon!

Stopped in for Saturday lunch. Great food!! I originally thought the prices were high but the portions were freaking amazing! Had the onion rings, bourbon burger, chicken taco flatbread. Tried the blackberry pineapple cocktail ... delicious! Just the right amount of sweet! Ended up taking home a growler of the Strawberry Blonde and a can of the Island. Church was beautiful inside with the sained glass. Really neat atmosphere! Don't forget to get some dog biscuits for your pets! Didn't realize this was here or that there was a location in Springfield Illinois. Would definitely go back!

Visiting and could not have asked for a better experience. Perfect combination of good food, quality drinks, premium service a unique but exciting atmosphere. Caitlin and Josh were my servers at the bar. Their dynamics with the customers and the honesty within the menu and products are pristine. My bill was A LOT lower than I had expected. Would come back without doubt.

A little more team-work would have avoided a significant wait til water/ drink orders. I was debating between 3 star and four for service. When a waitress finally did acknowledge our presence, the service was good.... But that took a while. The food was good, very good, the beer was fine, the atmosphere outstandingly beautiful. Typical of Peoria, it was almost ....

One of my favorite restaurants in Peoria. They have live music every Tuesday from 6 to 8 PM. Their service is impeccable. Their food is the best in town. Wide drink selection that’s very reasonable. I wish I could go here more often and try everything on the menu.

Total hidden gem in downtown Peoria! We popped in on a Tuesday night (jazz night!) and the little trio playing was AMAZING!! Seriously, so much talent packed into an intimate space, it felt like a private concert. The food did not disappoint either. I had the salmon beet salad and it was fresh and delicious. Service was super friendly, and the whole vibe of the place with live music made for such a fun night. It's rare to find a place that nails both the food and the music scene, but this spot absolutely delivers. If you're in Peoria on a Tuesday, check it out. Great food, great music, and a super cool atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

Really cool and unique atmosphere. Great service and staff!! Awesome view of the kitchen too!! Good pricing on the specials had the chili and 4 cheese grilled cheese if your wanting to save money

We were greeted warmly as soon as we arrived and treated like VIPs. The lighting is dark and the seating is open. Sound carried well but didn't make conversation difficult for us. The menu had a lot of great options. While mine was good the other 3 people at my table absolutely raved about their food. My dessert was amazing and I would go back just for that. Between the service, entrees, dessert, and atmosphere this is a will-return for sure.

Like a trip to da bottom...atmosphere exceptional...the staff quite involved and knowledgeable. Food ...the barbeque shrimps straight smakin...the hurricane put a lil something something on me...down on the water front...outstanding location... artist has artwork displayed on the restaurant walls and for sale.

What are great find while traveling through town. Our meals were excellent and can’t say enough about the friendly service. Would definitely recommend and stop back again.

I have loved RK since I was in college in the late 90’s. I’m happy it’s still going and it’s nice to see familiar faces when I go back to Peoria to visit. The food is consistently good, the servings are sensibly sized and the prices are reasonable. Always room for one of their delicious desserts. The servers are always friendly and I enjoy getting a table by the kitchen to watch the food being prepared. By now, I’ve had just about every menu item and I’ve never been disappointed. Please never go away.

Fox Pub has phenomenal food and a neat atmosphere. The interior definitely makes me feel like I stumbled into a British pub (not that I’ve been to one). My go to is always the Sergeant Pepper Soup, which is a tomato bisque with roasted red pepper and gouda; it’s hands down the best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Today I also ordered the four cheese mac from the seasonal menu.

Fish and chips were just okay. Fries were better than fish. Fish had a very strong flavor and it was not very well drained. Coleslaw was minuscule. I would go back but definitely would try something different. Service was excellent. Dessert was tasty.

This is such a fun place to eat at. Initially, I was worried about bringing kids or family to a "bar," but it's more of an eating atmosphere than bar. There is of course adult beverages, though, if thats your jive. The staff was really amazing and welcoming. I am handicapped and their establishment is well equipped to suit my needs in a wheelchair. The food was delicious and I suggest getting some "pub" sauce on the side (it's so delicious), and eating it with your fries or chips! 10/10 will try again.

The food was burnt and was VERY expensive. But I will say our server bridie was the best I have ever seen the service was 10/10 although the food did take awhile I don’t not blame the server. SHE NEEDS A RAISE.

Our daughter had been raving about this place and encouraging us to try it out. We were delighted with everything! I had the fish and chips and my husband had the hamburger ( maybe smash burger?). Both were delicious as were the fries. We had a delightful cheerful waiter, who checked on us regularly, but was not overly present. The atmosphere is very English Pub, which we loved. We will definitely go back. ( They offer a variety of lunch specials for $11.99. We opted to have the larger dinner size.)

Poutine was not good for my taste. (I tasted a few I. Quebec and it's not quite that for this one)

Absolutely loved this place, will definitely be back. Went for an anniversary dinner, both me and my boyfriend loved our drinks and entrees. I loved their beer cheese that comes with their pretzel bites and the carrot cake was the best I've had. Amazing staff and atmosphere. I'll be recommending this place to friends and family!

I actually ordered via Uber Eats but I am giving 5 stars across the board because I love this place so much. I ordered the teriyaki salmon bowl, sweet potato fries and avocado brownie. The bowl was big enough for dinner and lunch the next day, the fries were steaming hot and delish and the brownie hit the spot. It's extremely difficult to find healthy, gluten free food that tastes amazing at a restaurant. EatandEvolve does it perfectly. And they support and fund the work of EP!C and Ronald McDonald House. You will not be disappointed! I will be a repeat customer and with the vast menu options I can't wait to try it all.

Yum. I wanted to find somewhere delicious and fresh on my way to the dentist that had outdoor seating. This place FAR exceeded my expectations. I ordered the black coffee and the Natalie’s beet orange juice and was also offered the lemon infused ice water. All were AMAZING. We also had the delicious salmon and cream cheese toast and the chicken pesto omelette with sweet potatoes. Everything tasted clean, hot and fresh. Both meals come with a salad, and we ordered both the sweet and the savory salad options and both were great. This is my new favorite pace and will keep coming back to try everything.

My friend is vegan and she recommended Eat and Evolve for dinner. I had the chicken Florentine crepe & WOW, it was delish!! Large portions, we both took a to-go box full of food. Quaint ambiance & very friendly service. Thank you!

Delicioso!!! All the atmosphere and the service is excellent 👌 every plate is delicious and the coffee is so perfect... definitely i will back more frequently. Natural Juice, dessert and food 100% healthy... 11 of 10 come and prove for yourself 😋👌😋 here are the pictures to prove my visit 😉

This restaurant serves great vegan food - it’s healthy, full of flavor and innovative! The food is cooked fresh. My non-vegan lunch partners tell me the non-vegan food is also great. I highly recommend these folks if you are looking for a hearty healthy tasty meal - especially if you are vegan/vegetarian/gluten issues or allergies!

A good healthy place in Peoria. The menu is decent. But some of the flavors are not upto my linking. Especially the cauliflower rice with turmeric (it was too much turmeric). The salmon had a good taste but that’s all. The soup was also good. But I was not a big fan. Overall a decent clean place with healthy food options.

I love this place for gluten free and vegan food. This is my favorite restaurant for safe gluten free food. I have Celiac disease and my boyfriend is vegan. My body always feels good after I eat here (which is hard for me to come by). I got the southwest savory crepe, which came with a salad (not pictured), and a lemon muffin (pictured). I also attached a picture of my sister’s peanut butter banana sweet crepe. They forgot to give me my lemon muffin at first, otherwise they have great service.

The local pub everyone wishes was right down the street. Great beer, friendly service, top notch burgers and pub grub. Excellent place to get a quick bite or spend a long session. I am not a big fan of hand cut fries but these are crisp and delicious.

I stopped here for the first time on a Monday night. Monday is the 3 dollar off burgers day. The burgers are really good, and the options for different burgers cover what most people will want from a classic, to a mushroom, to bacon, and a spicier jalapeno option as well. The burgers range from about $9 to $13. Hand cut fries are extra, adding about $2.50 or so to the total. They don't use cheap ingredients though. Everything was crisp and fresh. The tomato was firm and juicy. They use Romain lettuce, thick cut bacon, and long slices of pickle. The fries were really tasty, homemade and not overly salted. I wouldn't describe them as super crispy but I tend to favor this style of fry over other options. Some crispy bits, some mushy areas, great for dipping. I selected a cheese sauce to accompany the fries. My friend ordered wings. They were extremely crispy, but not very large. Overall, I'm really happy with this restaurant. I'd definitely return on a Monday night for more burgers.

I rarely try a new place and give 5 stars, but thus little pub and restaurant in downtown Peoria wad excellent. Cool vibe. Top notch service. Food cooked right in the middle of the place, and was delicious. Short drive off the interstate ..worth it!!

The best burger in town, hands-down! We had a bit of a wait finding a place to sit, but service was very casual and generous. We had a fabulous time and the atmosphere is amazing!

The burgers And fries were fabulous! The fish fillets - not so much. Overdone. Robin was our server and she was awesomeness! Disappointment because there were no Irish items listed on the menu!

Amazing food and atmosphere!! Great service too. It was very close to our hotel so we ended up going here 3 times in 10 days because it was so great. Highly recommend!

Awesome atmosphere. Good service. Even better food. No ( to-go) orders for after hr eaters.Rib eye sandwich was awesome! SUPER tender even though I ordered well done. Toppings on the side so there's no soggy bun. The chicken wings are always awesome and crunchy.

Nice lively bar. Not too expensive. I've met friendlier bartenders, maybe it was because it was my first time and they seem to cater to a small local community. But hey, I learned what "borscht" is.... and the fried catfish was pretty good!

I had tenderloin sandwich with fries and onion rings. Onion rings are very thick onions. Food tasted ok... nothing too special. It was fun to try a new place. They give you a lot of food. Good, friendly service.

I came in with my family on 7/8/2025 ordered $100 worth of food that was not even worth it. The sweet potato fries were hard the burgers that we ordered had no seasoning on them. It’s like there was no flavor and then when we asked for a side of avocado, she’s like of course we can get that for you comes back with guacamole. You shouldn’t say you can get something for somebody if you’re not able to get that you should’ve said no you didn’t have avocado Terrible experience The waiter had to go and ask the owner Questions for a couple different times I wished for a better Experience overpriced for crap food

The ice tea was nasty. I ordered a Caesar salad and the dressing tasted like creamy Italian. The cod fish sandwich is one piece of over cooked fish on a bun. No garnish, no tartar sauce, nothing . $17 bucks! Ridiculous. The service was okay however complained about the kitchen messing up and they were frustrated. Back of the house comes out and stares at you when you complain. First and last. Never again!

First time here at brasky's Bar and Grill and we enjoyed it! We had the mozzarella cheese sticks for appetizer although I forgot to take a picture of those. They were covered in Parmesan cheese which gave it a different type of flavor but the marinara sauce was great! The waiter Christian was very polite and helpful and patient and that was appreciative. Location was nice and the atmosphere was comfortable. The hand-cut fries for the best part of the meal and the sauce was pretty good too. We will be returning.

Father’s Day and looking for something new. Found out they have Mahi Mahi in three different ways on the menu. Went there with great weather so ate outside. We got great service, even being outside they took great care of us. This place is great but remember the thing about baked potatoes, eat there and you will know what I mean.

I always get good service at Braskys whether I'm by myself or with a few friends we never have to wait for the bartender to get done talking so we can get drinks. Not that I have been there a lot, maybe 6 times in total and the bartender has remembered my choice of beers from the first trip there.

Does Industry set the industry standard? I’ve been to Industry quite a few times but it was either for work lunches or various events so I’ve never been able to try their alcoholic choices until now. Emily and I were out and about and decided we needed a beer and some chill time after walking around Grand Prairie Mall all afternoon. We dropped in on a quiet Saturday afternoon and were greeted by some friendly staff. Emily and I grabbed a seat next to an open window so we could enjoy the breeze and somewhat warm temps. Emily grabbed a Pineapple Pleaser and I grabbed a Happy Hour kolsch beer. A few sips into my beer, I knew I didn’t like it one bit. I’ve had some kolsch beers before and this one just wasn’t doing it for me. Emily liked her sour and it was funny seeing the faces she made until she got used to it. After having a few sips of her drink, I get why cause it was indeed sour to the max. I did get a sample of their hefenweizen and somehow I straight up didn’t like it one bit, which is weird since that’s one of my go-to drinks at breweries. Nothing else looked appetizing on the beer list so I stuck with finishing off the Happy Hour and the sample of the hefenweizen. Aside from the beer, the food here is great. We didn’t eat since we were still full from Weaver’s but every time I’ve been here for a work lunch or event, the food has knocked it out of the park every single time. On top of having delicious food, they have a really nice outdoor area with axe throwing and a spot for your dogs to do their business. We did eye the merch on our way in and ended up snagging some stuff on the way our. Emily got a hoodie and I snagged a shirt. Maybe you’ll see it pop up in a future review! They also have some free stickers if you are into that kind of thing. I know I snagged two for myself. 😛 I really want to love Industry Brewing and do like everything about the place outside of their beer offerings. Maybe I’ll go back in the future and see if the menu changed and they had something that my palate likes.

This place is absolutely amazing. The beer is really good and the food is amazing. The staff is very polite and the they have both indoor and outdoor sitting with great ambience. The outdoor sitting is perfect for a cool summer evening. Their shandy beer is a must try.

Went twice in one week because the first time I was so impressed. Good selection of beer and much better than average brewery food. Highly recommend the loaded waffle fries. If you're not a beer drinker they have a full bar with all the standards. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Sit outside if the weather is good because there's a lot to look at. Bring your pooch too. They have a doggie play area or just park your mutt next to your table. Fire pits, beer tap waterfall, ax throwing range, and a seating area above the outdoor bar. Great vibe and friendly, knowledgeable servers.

Awesome stop and definitely would return! The loaded waffle fries and Southwest pizza were delicious. We enjoyed our flights and they also have great swag. Our server Sara was great!

Absolutely delicious! I always get the tenders. The honey chipotle dip is delicious! They've got a pretty good selection of beers too, and all the ones I've had have been really good!

I like to call places like this "Bucket List Breweries" because places like this are truly few and far between. The food is amazing, the atmosphere between a lovely beer garden featuring axe throwing and beautiful views, the beer is beyond amazing, and the customer service makes you feel like you're a friend hanging out with another friend even if you've never stepped food in the building before. I tried 8 beers, including the Comp It, which has become my favorite Red Ale ever, Sunday's Sidework Hefe, Day Shift Apricot Wheat, Happy Hour Kolsch, Goalden Light, 309 Vienna Lager, Patio's Poppin' Raspberry Shandy, and Summa Time Orange Sour. I brought cans of the Comp It and 309 with me. Audrey and Mercedes are both knowledgeable and friendly and give you a great customer service experience. Can't wait to visit again.

Our first visit and it was amazing. Good beer , good food and good music. ❤️.

This was a really nice sports bar. The food was great and so was the service. I had the Olympia Burger, Gyro and Spanikopita Egg Rolls. First the eggrolls were delicious nice and crispy and the four cheese filling was tasty. 3 Eggrolls for 12$. 9/10. The Burger was cooked to perfection and tasty solid Burger. The fries were perfect. Cost 15$ 8/10. Last but not least the Gyro. It was good fresh and had plenty of meat. Cost 15$ 8/10. Food Game 8/10. Price Game 7/10. Presentation Game 7.5/10. Overall Olympia 8/10. Shout out to the Chefs/Cooks in the back.

Food was a bit of a letdown. My chicken breast sandwich was so dry it was like leather. Onion rings were very good, though. Coworker had the lunch gyro. He said it was OK. The chips were good. Food did take a while coming out, especially for lunch time. Service was a bright spot. Our server was very attentive and polite.

This was my first time visiting Olympia, and I was very impressed. The bar had a wide selection of beers both domestic and craft, and plenty of screens to watch sports. My bartender, Rich was very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

You recently catered in an offsite Wedding reception dinner on 10/11/25. The food was Amazing!! The food was delicious and served warm. We as the Parents of the Bride received so many compliments from the guests. Thank you so much for making this a great experience with Olympia.

We had Olympia cater our rehearsal dinner and had an amazing experience! The catering team was extremely accommodating and worked with us to create a menu that fit our vision. The staff members delivered the food and set up the buffet in a timely manner and were very attentive throughout the entire duration of the event. All of our guests raved about how delicious the food was and many went back to the buffet for second (and third) helpings. A huge thanks to the Olympia team for helping us kick off our wedding weekend with a great start!

Nice atmosphere inside the place, cool vibes. The food is average, we had an appetizer and a side to start with but both were average, falafel were uncooked from inside and for a side of fries, the plate was half empty. The cocktails were nice and decent priced as well.

The food is great, the environment is pretty okay, but my server Sedonna i believe? Driest, most unfriendly, boring personality of any server I may have ever experienced. I get better service at waffle house, and those guys don't get paid enough to even pretend to like their job. Other than the terrible service, I'd say the food is worth it, maybe just order to go.

Consistently friendly service and excellent breakfast. You might pay a bit more than you would at another place, but it’s worth it. Never had a bad meal here. Great coffee, fresh juices, and that homemade corned beef hash is to die for. Pictured are the Dutch baby, corned beef hash with eggs, and hue is rancheros.

Whole family went here after church (6 of us total) for breakfast, we loved it! Great food and service, and the coffee was awesome! For the quality and taste, the price was very reasonable too (bill was less than $70 for all), would recommend going if you want to enjoy a great breakfast! I had a skillet meal and my wife loved the apple pancakes.

I had another Dr. appointment in Peoria and thought it’d be a good opportunity to grab lunch while there. Decided to visit ‘The Original Pancake House’. (I spent a large portion of my youth in Oregon and was lucky to have been introduced to this chain LONG before it grew to its current size. I’m happy to say that it was all that I remembered and then some!) I was impressed by the selections that you aren’t likely to find at most breakfast spots. (As a youth, I knew what I liked and generally ordered the same item without checking out the rest of the menu). My meal was delicious and the service was wonderful. I don’t expect it to be… well, let’s just say ‘that long’ …before my next return visit.

The place was loud but tolerable. I got the Eggs and Meats with pancakes and strawberries. Over all the food was good. Very expensive at $20 for one person. My waitress was exceptional.

The place was clean and the service was quick. The place was packed and yet we received our food very quickly. I ordered eggs over medium. They were eggs over hard. I also ordered a blueberry waffle and was expecting to have a waffle with blueberries infused into the waffle itself. But they had a pile of blueberries on top with Maple syrup or Blueberry syrup. I chose a Maple syrup. It was very good. I enjoyed the waffle a great deal. Bacon was thick. I haven't had bacon that thick in a long time, very, very good. My wife ordered scrambled eggs and bacon. Her eggs were overcooked as well. She had a biscuit and jell, also, the jelly was very good. Biscuit was ok, so overall, good experience. If this review is helpful, please give me thumbs up.

I think this may just be our new weekend breakfast spot! I wish I could remember the name of the waitress we have had the past 2 times. She is UNBELIEVABLE!! I swear she knows exactly when to check in with a guest to see if everything is good (which it always is). Her recommendations for food and beverages is unparalleled. Next time we go I am going to remember her name just to write a review for her. The food is AMAZING!! Their Georgia pecan and pumpkin pancakes are mouth watering along with their skillets. The biscuits and gravy are always just the write amount of seasonings and I get them each time as a side. Bottom line: LOVE this place!! If you haven’t gone, you are missing out. Seriously!!

Ryan was the absolute best server I've had anywhere. Very attentive and super sweet. The food was phenomenal, I had the seasonal item mexicali flatbread and it was delicious. The avocado toast is also a great item especially if you like pickled vegetables. Ive been here quite a few times but this experience was amazing. The hosts were all nice, again, Ryan was the best server I've ever had, and the food came out fast, hot, and was very fresh. Love this place and will be coming back!

Service was great, atmosphere was fun and clean, and food was about a 4/5. The steak was raw in the middle but they did right and took it off our bill. The appetizers were delicious and so was the salmon.

We had a great experience at Suite Fire! This place is tucked away in the Holiday Inn, but I’m so glad we tried it. The food was cooked to perfection, the cocktails were great. Everything was delicious. Things were very reasonably priced. You also get two sides (and Texas toast) with an entree! Thank you Chef Seth and Connor for taking care of us!

We went to Suite Fire for my husband’s birthday. We had 5 adults and a 4-month old in her car seat. It was a Saturday evening and pretty busy. They were very accommodating and made sure each one of us had plenty of room for dining comfortably. The prime rib was delicious, as was the salmon and caprese chicken breast!

Danica is the best server! Kind, knowledgeable & attentive. It was our first time here and we came for our anniversary. The chef came out to speak to us. The food was to die for. Best prime rib I have had in years. And sooooo reasonable. We will be back!

Get the prime rib! It's a big meal and for the price is exceptional. Service was spot on. Friendly server was very attentive. The restaurant area was very clean. Sports bar atmosphere. Crowd in there tonight was having a good time. Looking forward to stopping by next time I am in town.

Can Not Thank Kara & Danica enough for their personal service to this FL crew, out on the patio with our 2 dalmatians and local friends.....These girls went above and beyond to make sure our once a year visit with special friends went off without a hitch and was comfy for our pups who had been in car for 2 days straight. Not only were they hospitable but the menu selections are various, not overly expensive and absolutely fresh and delicious! We'll be back next year! Likely to call in a gift card for our friends to return much sooner with their pup.

The food was amazing. This was my first time eating there. We had a great meal. It is a nice atmosphere. It is a hotel restaurant, but it feels upscale with a casual vibe. The prices were great, the portions were good and the selections were vast. I can't wait to go back again. This may become my me favorite place to go.

Great neighborhood bar with even better service. We got to meet Whitey himself who was tending bar and cooking.

Omg this is the best bbq since Big johns! There truly is non better than Whiteys! Pulled pork is the moistest I've ever had & beef brisket is the bomb!

Best gay friendly bar in p town! Bartender was awesome

Best food n drink ever....whitey is top shelf people

The owner, Whitey, is friendly and makes you feel right at home. He whips up a pretty good cheeseburger too. A lot of the Peoria city council members gather here or at least used to so that speaks well for the establishment.

Whitey has been serving up great lunches at reasonable prices for years. A true neighborhood landmark!

Friendly atmosphere, great pizza and drinks. The owner is very polite, noticed we were from out of town and introduced himself. Great place, will definitely come back when I’m in town.

Never had been there before, saw some excellent open mic on a cold Tuesday night in February. The bathroom had some excellent sharpie-to-exposed wood graffiti

Stopped in while killing some time during the day. The service was spectacular from the bartender. The have pizzas to eat if you need a bite. The beer and booze choices are surprisingly good for a smaller place. The prices were very reasonable. I would definitely go back at night to listen to the live music.

Cozy little dive bar. One time my girlfriend knocked my hat off my head here. I was unable to find it because it landed behind the dart machine. Went back a few weeks later and the owner was happy to give it back to me after inquiring about it! Now I’m the ‘hat’ guy at this friendly little spot. Don’t let that rude TikTok cocktail guy fool you. This is a great spot.

You guys had a very famous Vegas bartender with 1.1million followers on social media come in today recording a video and asked the bartender there for the best cocktail she can make so he can rate it. The bartender there had no idea of being recorded and ended up being very rude and denying making him a drink of her choice. What a shame. You had a chance to represent Peoria but instead the video proves not to ever go in your establishment. I live 1.3 miles from your bar and Had no idea you were even there until seeing his video. Lost your chance to put yourself on the map.

Awesome! Attended Open Mic nights on Monday and Tuesday. Great musicians! Lots of original music. My highest recommendation.

Great hole in the wall bar featuring live music. Nice place to strike up a conversation with other patrons. I always enjoy stopping by when Katelyn is working. They've got Butch's pizza if you get the munchies, which is a plus.

Great small local bar. A few taps and a decent bottle/can selection. Frozen pizza and a Nutt Hutt. Live music frequently, open mic on Tuesday nights. No beer garden, sometimes gets overcrowded.

The first time I went to Baskins Robbins was a good experience. The guy hand packed my Black walnut ice cream just right. The second time I went a different guy waited on me. He hand packed my ice cream just right but when i ask him for a second quart of a different ice cream he stated they had it pre packed, I told him twice I didn't want it that way . He kept repeating they had it prepacked. I said forget it just check me out. He then preceded to put another customers order in a sack but turn my order upside down and slid it to me but didn't offer me a sack. Customer and clerk were both white I'm black. Went again 10/15/23 for a qt of hand pack black walnut ice cream, noticed clerk was not hand packing ice cream and I brought it to his attention. He stated he was going to I turned around and the next thing I heard was your order is ready I ask him did he hand pack the ice cream he stated he did I told him no he didn't I told him I will never buy ice cream from them again, the container wasn't even full.

I used my free birthday scoop coupon as an excuse to take my wife and our friend Julia out for ice cream. We had a nice time in a pleasant place with good service. Little did we know that today was national ice cream day!

I've been here a few times . Customer service is all right . Until tonight when I mentioned that my shake was like chocolate milk she told me it suppose b like that and rolled her eyes up at me. I get down the road and notice they didnt even put bananas in it. When I called the girl said theirs no one I could talk to and b happy to take my name and they will call me back. Last time i was here they just threw topping everywhere and had no care of what it look like or even tasted like I'm going to east peoria for now on

Asked about a flavor the website had - the guy said they did not have it so asked if they had a similar one and he said no. Asked what flavors they had right now and he rudely said to come inside to see what they had. Then a lady came on the speaker saying they did have the similar one. We ordered that and they came dumped upside down in a bag and the lady did not say a single word besides giving the total. Not very pleased with the customer service - especially since we were the only ones in line at the drive up at the time.

Customer service was not a priority. Both of the workers there got into an argument because the the young man was talking to his buddies instead of handling customers and said that he was taking their order which he was not. I also heard manager from the back yelling at them instead of handling situation calmly and also making sure line of customers were addressed. Very slow service and not enough attention to customers. Very disappointed. Would give less if I could.

I frequent this location for dunkin coffee on Sunday afternoon. Line is long for drive thru almost always. It was 20 mins last week. Need more helpers for the peak times to keep it moving. I give three stars only because the iced coffee 3 times now have been made too strong. Today was surprisingly good finally. Still they need help keeping the line moving.

I don't like to leave negative reviews but when I can't even communicate with the employee then how do you expect me to think I'm going to get what I paid for? I wanted a vanilla shake with chocolate syrup (why do I even need to specify I want it made that way with Baskin Robbins, it's a chocolate shake. There "chocolate shake" is made with chocolate ice cream), and a chocolate dipped donut with sprinkles. When the guy said "chocolate chip shake" and then started listing the variations of shakes I drove off and went to Steak N Shake instead. Very happy with my purchase.

Wow! Not sure why it took so long to try this great place, but the wait was worth it. There were so many menu items I could have gone for - I ended up with the pork BBQ. It was great (though I'd switch out the pretzel roll). Liked the slaw, as everyone has mentioned. Drinks were outstanding. Service great. They were busy, but it didn't impact service. Everyone was having a great time - indoors or outside. Can't wait to come back - will try the ahi roll next.

Some limited gluten free options but they made some nice accommodation for me. Our service Was fantastic. They can handle larger parties of 6 or 8 but call ahead. Overall a great experience!

Billy, Aaron, Mac, Rob and my ole buddy Matt lit the place up. Such a great time with great food, drinks and live music. The Easy Riders are one of the best bands you will ever see, hear watch. W.E. Sullivan's served a great early evening meal. Tenderloin was excuisite and then rocked the night crowd. Great time!!!

This place has a fantastic atmosphere as well as drink selection. Our server was super fun and outgoing 🍀

Best Burger I've ever had. Chefs special elk, bison and waygu burger with bacon jam. Was right around $20 for that burger and fries on a Friday night. Bartender was nice and quick, band was really good. They had surfside as a vender who was giving samples and buying free surfside for people. My favorite peoria bar!

Great food in a very comfortable atmosphere. Quite busy for an early Saturday evening but our service was outstanding. Dinner for four and everyone enjoyed their selection- flat bread, pulled corned beef Reuben, steak wrap and chicken. Thanks for a great evening

This place is awesome!! Really cool atmosphere and the food and service was top notch! Started with the pretzel bowl with venison beer cheese, I ordered the shepherds pie and she got the tuna steak. Everything was delicious and our server rocked. I’ve been wanting to come here for over a year and finally made it today for lunch. Can’t wait to return and try the scotch eggs and a flatbread! Highly recommend 10/10!!!!!!!!

Decent place. Food looked good. Had the Italian Sausage. While good flavor, it was very grisly and greasy. Cartridge chunks in every bite. Fries were great, burgers and stuff look like a better choice.

Great place for a beer and bite. Walleye bites are great as is pizza. Wait staff is always friendly and can answer any questions one might have about menu items. Great locally owned place that is accommodating to all ages.

Had fried ravioli that was super hard, mozzarella sticks were good, had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The fries looked like the were rolled in dirt. We’re super soft, limp, and feel like the weren’t cooked long enough. Their frier oil definitely needed changed. Burger bun was burnt, burger was dry in the middle but juicy on the edges. My cousin had Italian beef, was SUPER salty and dry. The onions rings he had looked good but we’re literally dripping grease. Wasn’t even offered a discount or for anything taken off the bill. Out first waitress was trying to do her closing procedures to leave so wasn’t checking on us as much as she could. Then the waitress that took over for us brought us the bill without asking if we wanted another drink or not. Then took another 20 minutes for her to come back to get the bill. And spent $63 on 4 drinks and 2 meals. Little much if I have to say. Wasn’t pleased with the experience at all. Plus it wasn’t busy at all

Atmosphere was really casual out on their patio. Service wasn't too bad. Pizza was priced reasonable. Plenty of toppings. I would have preferred just hair more sauce with a little more flavor. Other than that not a bad place.

Darn near perfect sports bar....could only be better if they added a 20 foot big screen TV....I guess that is a lot to wish for.

Thanks for being open New Years Day for lunch! Food was fantastic!!! The tamales with chili and cheese were one of the best I’ve eaten. Nice flavor to the chili on top of the thick corn tamale. The salad was way better than expected, especially for a bar. The Italian Beef, well I’m going back for the Italian Beef. No need to go anywhere else for one! Can’t wait to bring my family back to explore more of the menu at The 5th Quarter. Thanks Laura!

I hate giving one star because I know it's a great place but a WELL done burger that was "warm" with luke warm fries, 2.5 hours and only 4 check-ins by the server, 2 beers 2 car bombs the fries and burger came out to 43 and change? I understand they were busy and we had a 10 top. But the poor food and service is inexcusable. Other people in our group didn't get drinks for their children when ordered, food was brought out wrong and almost cold.

It's Friday the 13th at 6pm, all the restaurants in the Levy District had huge lines and waits so we decided to go to Red Robin but it was packed a well so we came over to Potbelly's to eat. Walking in the way to order seems totally backwards and completely not efficient with a lot of confusion for the customer. From the door you go all the way to the opposite wall to start your order then work your way back to the door to pay. Wife and I had the pick 2 option(half a sandwich and soup or salad and a drink). Our daughter had a peanut butter sandwich on white bread with a cookie and a drink. One guy behind the counter had to practical walk and instruct each customer thru the ordering process, while the girl looked completely lost and the kid running the register struggled on everyone's order to ring up. The ordering process is a complete mess and needs a complete overhaul. There was plenty of seating as there was only 4 tables being used(friday night at 6pm). Get sat down with our food, going thru the food my wife's mac and cheese looked terrible so she took it back. The talkative guy said sorry that was our lady one I knew I shouldn't of have it to you, wierd.... so she got a salad which she said was good. My daughter's peanut butter sandwich on white bread was labeled wheat on the bag and it was wheat🙄. My prime rib sandwich was cold and was raw n not pink cooked, RAW! My cheddar broccoli soup wasn't bad but had zero flavor and substance (it was practically all cheese). My daughter's cookie was a little bigger then a half dollar oreo sized, kinda thought it would of been a cookie of size like what they have displayed at the register, nope. To add at the end of the experience, my wife went to the restroom came out and said they are out of toilet paper. As we left my wife just let the girl employee know they we're out of toilet paper. The girl looked at her like she had snakes coming out of her head and didn't reply to my wife or acknowledge her. I always give eateries at least 3 tries everyone has a bad day and can't be judged solely on one episode. Although I personally think there's room for improvement from a managers or district managers level. We will be back some day with hopes of improvements, and I think you should give it a try and conclude your own opinion. Only a friendly suggestion to the managers. Spend some quality time on watching the efficiency of the system and try to polish it. Sit back, watch and read the customers experience, body language and see what can be simplified and improved for the customer and the employee.

Pretty darn good! Nice place with a pretty good selection of items. Fresh clean ingredients at a decent price. Good selection of house chips. Some Outside seating. Only negative here was a very dirty floor littered with food and napkins and such.

DO NOT DOORDASH FROM THIS LOCATION. I have tried two days in a row to get a simple Grilled Cheese…. the first time they used the wrong type of cheese and the second day it was delivered incredibly undercooked to the point where i could still see the individual cheese slices. They have no regard for doordash orders as doordash has to compensate customers if they mess up.

Worst salad I've ever had. Must of been made at least a week prior. Lettuce turned into slime. Second star because the sandwich was decent.

This is where the best sandwiches are. Always perfectly made, out of all potbelly ive eaten! It would be nicer if the place felt cleaner.

Jan. 25. 2024 Excellent.. If you haven't tried potbellys, you really owe it to yourself to stop. Toasty sandwiches , shakes, and more.

I asked for light sauce, but I didn't tip. Now I have mayo and ranch dripping out of my sandwich.

Super cool bar. Really chill. I did not get any food there, so I cant comment on that. But the drinks are fun. You walk around, drink, and play games with friends. Cute.

This place has changed a lot since I visited several years ago. It's expanded into a larger room (it's the old Rhodell's) and seems to have likewise expanded its game selection. Seems like there's a game from every era of arcades, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, TMNT, Street Fighter, Rampage, and more. All the games are free as long as you purchase something from the bar. I think it's way more fun than an average bar.

We didn’t try any of the food but the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the princess peach. The atmosphere was chill. There are a ton of arcade games to play. Lots of childhood favorites! All games are free with a purchase, doesn’t matter what it is. Only game that cost is Skee ball and it’s $1 a game. A total of 5 drinks was under $30. We had a good time and look forward to going back in the future.

A really neat place to have fun! All the video games except Skee Ball are free play. Skee ball is $1 per game and takes singles only - the bartender was able to give us singles for larger bills so we could play. Enjoyed a few throwbacks like Mortal Kombat, Turtles, Golden Tee and NFL Blitz 99 as well. The beer was cold and not expensive, they had a good draft list here too. Bartender was attentive and friendly. Definitely a fun place to hang out and be entertained for an hour or two!

I was visiting Peoria from California and stopped in here on a Monday night at the suggestion of some locals. Boy am I glad I listened! Bartender was the sweetest woman, and all the drinks were great. I also love that 99% of the games are free to play, and there's a great variety! I had a lot of fun here and recommend it.

It was my first time visiting since I was passing through Peoria. I wish there was more parking for the businesses in that area. 8 Bit has a great variety of games in different sections. They also offer a large variety of beer.

Review Date: July 24th, 2016 Beer, arcade games and friends. My kind of place. Growing up, I got involved in playing video games thanks to my father and friends. Everything from Atari to Sega Genesis to Super Nintendo to Gameboy; everything in-between and everything after. Once I was legally allowed to enjoy adult beverages, I grew to enjoy beer a few years later. Shortly after, 8 Bit opened up. Having a lifelong love for video games and a recently acquired taste for beer, I gathered a few of my nerdy friends up and headed that way. 8 Bit is a pretty unique place. It’s a bar that is also an arcade. It looks like a normal business situated at the end of a building but inside is a different story. Upon walking, you get the feeling you are in a house. You have some stairs that lead up to… somewhere. Off to the right of the entrance is the smallish bar. Between the bar tables and the machines, it can get pretty packed with just a handful of people. As you deviate from the bar, you’ll find yourself in a hallway that has one machine at the end on the left, that is tucked under the stairs. Next to that is a room that full of 6-8 games (it could vary, I am not sure). Going back in to the hallway, you’ll find the next room down on the left. That room is L-shaped and has maybe 12 games in it. At the end of the hallway, are the bathrooms. All the games are free to play as long as you are ordering drinks and spending money. Instead of loading your pockets full of quarters, you just have to load your belly up with beer. A fair trade off in my opinion. The beercade has a nice beergarden to enjoy. On my first visit here, my friends and I ordered a few drinks and headed outside to play some Pokemon Go. After polishing off my beer, I noticed there was a window in which you could order beer from the bar through. That is exactly what I did. I ordered another beer through the window. I thought that was pretty cool. While we were there playing Pokemon Go, another group of people came in and was playing Pokemon Go. We noticed they were playing as we kept battling for the Gym that was located nearby. At one point, that group sent someone out to spy on us as we battled for the gym. After noticing the other group was taking this too serious, we decided to close the app, head inside and play the arcade games. The selection of arcade games is about your standard fare. There are your usual games but they also had a few games I’ve never seen before. We played games for a bit longer before heading out. Now, this wasn’t my only time I have come here. Ever since this visit, I have been back a few times with various other friends. Each visit has been unique. The first time I went, they offered food. The subsequent visits had no food options due to law changes. The last time I went was in late 2019 and they had this sweet system set up at the bar. It was operated with some aftermarket SNES controller and had almost every retro game available. My friend Nate and I spent more time browsing the catalog than gaming. It was such a sweet system and I wish I had it at home. Stay nerdy :3

Got a BPT for carry out from Hammers in Bartonville, IL. The bpt was perfect on the thickness and great flavor on the breading. And can't beat the price for 12 dollars for carry out

Hands down the friendliest waitstaff you’ll find in this area & honestly, the best I’ve ever came across in all my years. Food is fairly priced & a great value for all that you get. Quality & cleanliness is always great. Owners are an amazing family.

I enjoyed this establishment. One item that was on the top of my list for likes was the homemade fries. Crispy outside and soft on the in.

Worth a try! Amazing burgers and the wings were definitely worth a visit also! Plenty of canned/bottle beer selection.

One of the Peoria area's true hidden gems. Outstanding service and delicious food. The left part of the establishment is a restaurant with tables and in a section to the right is a long bar also with table seating and slots. The mushroom appetizers are hand crafted masterpieces. These are homemade and coated with a seasoned batter. They are superb. After you taste these, all other mushrooms (particularly the frozen, poured from a bag variety) will pale in comparison. They are in my opinion the best available. The hammer burger is a full half-pound of succulent beef with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and barbeque sauce. It is excellent. My waitress was friendly, prompt, attentive, and had a sense of humor. For a combination if great food and service, Hammer's fits the bill. I'll be back and I recommend trying it.

Had chicken wings. So so awesome. The service was good. So many different things. Loved it!!!!

It's home- town friendly, the food is great and WAY more affordable than places in Peoria. We had this delicious huge breakfast for a few pennies over $13, including tax.

Loved everything about this place! The food and drinks were so good! And Kim is the sweetest 😊 if you want some comfort food, visit the Neon Bison

Had a fantastic meal of smoked turkey tails burnt ends, greens, honey smattered corn-bread and some of the best cheese curds I've ever had. It was a pleasure to bring my dad there I just wish I could've tried one of the craft beers they had on tap

Cool place. Great service and creating a laid back personable service. Bison burger was good with fresh cut fries . Drinks a plenty and Kim was awesome. Will be back .

Nice bar venue, food is ok but the team was great, they kept the kitchen going right at the time of closure so I could get dinner after a whole travel day. Thank you!

Sunday afternoon about 130 took a long ride on the Harley and came here. It’s in downtown Peoria, down from the Pierre Marquette Hotel. We walked in. It was football season Bears game on approximately 15 people total. Staff was friendly, nice cordial, and met all needs that we asked for. The Nashville chicken bites were really good along with Cheese curds. Nice cold drinks. No music or band was playing due to. It was a Sunday afternoon but I could see this place happen. Pretty good especially when there’s a concert or convention in town. Highly recommended for friends gathering or a night of drinking with some pretty good food

Ariel was the best server i have had in ages!! Great quality food, Beautifully served food, Cleaning And welcoming atmosphere!! Will be coming back for sure!!

My sister and I came here after leaving the riverfront farmer's market for "breakfast" - quotes because we got there around 9 and both chose lunch options. Our server was Kim and she was wonderful! She was a joy to chat with and answered any questions we had like she should be sitting at the table hanging out with us, not just as server (that's how engaging she is). We got bison burgers, fried cheese curds, and collard greens. I inhaled it all, but the greens went the fastest. Great food, great background music (country while we were there) fantastic service (again, thanks, Kim!), and just a great overall experience!!

Visited for the first time last week and came away a little unimpressed. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but my chicken was dry and not very flavorful and my ribs were tougher than I like. Her chicken parmesan was okay but lacked a flavorful breading. My "tall" beer glass was barely 12 oz and too much of that was head. I also thought the lighting was too dim as it was hard to see my food well. There are many good reviews so your experience may differ than mine.

Great spot, fun atmosphere, food is always delicious. Friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend!

Top notch food and service! Love this place and the owner makes it a point to say hello whenever I’m in town and eating here.

Top notch food and service. Really enjoyed a great meal. Dry aged steaks and the Rainbow trout was fantastic as well. Calamari is highly recommended as a starter.

Chicken pot pie and beef stroganoff were delicious! Wonderful service! Great atmosphere!

I ordered lamb chops WELL DONE I told them I don’t want to see any blood and shouldn’t be I’m pregnant ! They replaced it with steak said it can be little pink STILL HAD BLOOD then they burnt it. 0 STARS 🤢👎🏾 expensive but nasty food.

Fantastic cheese soup and the blackened salmon salad special was fantastic. Fast friendly lunch service! I always run into at least one person I know there. I’m going back for the burgers. They look awesome!

What a nice place. Loved our bartender. Very helpful with beer info. Helped us with the area. Answered questions we had.

We come here every time we visit Peoria. They always have great beers and the lineup is always changing. This time we tried the Kiwi Strawberry Blonde, the Watermelon Wheat, and the Blueberry Cream Ale. All three were great but we took home a growler of the Blueberry Cream Ale, it was fantastic!

Great experience and a wonderful time. Enviroment and service is second to none would recomend to everyone wanting to either brew or taste excellent craftsmanship.

Always a great selection of finely crafted beers. I like that the menu changes frequently but always has something for everyone. My husband and I have many options of places to go, but always choose to drive the hour it takes to come to our favorite spot. Staff is always very friendly and very knowledgeable about the beers they serve. It is nice that there is a good selection of spirits, wine and ciders for those who are not beer fans.

Nice folks and a cozy setting. Lots of parking in a private lot - although I walked over from Bearded Owl and didn’t need it, but it’s always something I notice and try to comment on because it’s useful o know. The white chocolate pale ale was my favorite!

Great atmosphere, great service, and a great selection of beer and whiskey.

Never disappoints. Kay had the Camp Wokanda breakfast stout and I had the cask Scotsman's Ale. Both are fantastic

On Saturday, I got a chance to visit with some family. I don’t see often. I had mild wings and the homemade chips. Did I mention the drinks? The Pour House gets a 10/10. Thank you!

Terrible new management. Customer service is nothing like what it used to be ever since Nate left after New Years. Ran by a bunch of rude young women now. I work nearby and visit very frequently on my lunch break. Nate would greet us upon entry, never let our drink get below half before coming and checking to see if we needed a refill and allow us to have a free fountain drink to return to work with. I’ve been back 3 times since New Years and have not received a greeting not one time when walking in but will witness them greet other people that walk in. I’m charged for drinks now which isn’t an huge deal to me but they still have attitudes when placing food or drink orders. I will finish my drink and 10 minutes will go by before I had to ask for a refill instead of the waitress coming and checking on me to see if I needed one. And when I asked for the refill, the waitress said okay and proceeded to make me wait while she cleaned off a used table first. It’s not just one of the lady’s I’ve had a bad experience with a new lady each time. To be a regular and treated like this is bad business and definitely will keep me and my coworkers from spending my money here anymore.

The food was great and delivered promptly. Erika, our server was super friendly and accommodating. She made our drinks perfectly and was very welcoming. 5 stars

Food is always good. BUT the customer service has gone down hill since Nate left. I work nearby and frequently come in during the work week and I used to be greated as soon as I walked in the door. Now the bartenders just sit at the end of the bar and don't greet or even walk over to the table to acknowledge you. Think a customer service class needs to happen with some of these ladies.

Pay no attention to the posts from Alexa Smith or Vanessa Quick. These are "customers" who come in on their lunch break and treat the bar like their break room. They are only upset because, like any normal business, the bar made the decision to charge for their soft drinks. It has been noted also on days when the kitchen is open they've been seen bringing outside food, which is obviously not allowed.

only seems to have one ok bartender the rest are snobby old women ,been multiple occasions that I go in and the bartender is talking shit about customers that have gone and left for the day ,horrible customer service by the older women went the other day and was insulted apon entry (which was absolutely ridiculous) drank my beer didn’t tip and left

The music was SO loud and the base was horrible! I asked for it to be turned down and it wasn't .

I hadn't been out in Peoria for a couple years, and I was looking for something to do with my wife and kids. We decided to check out this place since it was in the middle of the day and figured it wouldn't be too bad with the kids being with us. First, the atmosphere was great! My wife even commented "this is what I want our house to look like inside". There was seating in the back patio and plenty of room on the inside. For beer, I went with a flight to get a taste of everything I wanted, and my wife went with a sour. Everything we had was super tasty! I ended up getting a crowler to go, and I was super appreciative of the staff telling me not to get it if we were going to be out and about for awhile. The particular style of beer would've exploded in the can if it got warm for too long. That's what made this a perfect rating! Overall, would recommend!

The Bearded Owl was a really awesome Brewpub! The beer was amazing! I had a flight and they were all really good. The look inside has a really cool vibe to it. It was a place that I wish we had back home. You can buy bottle and crawlers of beer there, which I had to do! I would highly recommend going there if you are in Peoria. We will be going back the next time we are there!

I know they are known for their beer, but they also have some of the best cocktails in Peoria. They use interesting and tasty ingredients.

Great local place with a wide range of beers. Place looked well designed and had friendly punters and staff. Quiz night seems fun. Also serves a small amount of food from the kitchen.

I had a great time here! Super friendly staff, friendly regulars, and awesome beer!! The one w yeast from Chardonnay and the coffee stout were probably my favorite. The brewer is an awesome guy and I can’t wait to come back!

Been 3 times this past year. Always friendly staff, nice variety to choose from. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Will definitely return.

Cool atmosphere with good beers and decent food. Fast and attentive service. Nice selection of a variety of beer styles and 32oz Crowlers to go. Plenty of seating and nearby parking.

Okay, i eat lots of seafood and i travel a lot due to the job. They have a shrimp appetizer called "Jack'd up." THE BEST shrimp I have tasted. It was so good i ordered a second one. The sauce was incredible. I also had a pulled beef sandwich, and it was fabulous. Great place to chill, get a cold brew, and get some good food. I would definitely recommend it. Wish i knew what was in the sauce, excellent

Stopped by for lunch and we were not disappointed! Appetizers & food came quick and the food was hot. The JACKd up sauce on the shrimp appetizer had a unique & delicious flavor, and the Cuban was excellent as well. Very neat interior & atmosphere, we will definitely be back.

Great thin pizza/sports bar, has live music from time to time. Small but nice outside sitting downtown. They try out a new pizza weekly and some of them are fantastic and it's fun to see all the creative ones.

Fun place! Came here with a group late after everyone's fights. Staff was super chill and service was great. Food options late were excellent!

Great spot to grab a meal or a drink. Food is always delicious and the staff is always great. The atmosphere is a little weird, could use some more personal touches

So glad to see this place re-open after the lunch place closed. What an amazing renovation! You would never know it was Adams Street Cafe. Service was amazing though they were pretty full. Came for lunch - got a panini and my colleague got a small pizza. The panini was very good with the fries. Colleague said the pizza was excellent. Really great to have another option downtown. Keep up the great work and thank you to your hard working staff!

We came in from out of town and Jack and his staff were superb! The food and drinks will all delicious. We loved the ambience. Will definitely be back.

One of the worse bartenders in town , rude , not professional, they think everyone is a thief , short story , it looks like I forgot to pay a drink few days ago , I always come on thursdays , and the bartender yelled at me that I didn’t pay the tab last time it was one drink I always tip 20 $ on one drink , I was like ok I will pay you and herniated that pay right the way or leave .. this place is a trash

Not a good place this blonde bartender was very rude to me and my female guest we felt unwelcome as visitors to Peoria. It seems she was irritated by helping us because her boyfriend was there and we were distracting her.

Tavern on Prospect is great - Strong drinks, very comfortable chairs and friendly service. What more could you want? Fire up the jukebox and relax

The staff is absolutely outstanding. I never wait long for a drink even if it’s packed. The two female bartenders are especially adorable! They are always so sweet every time I’m there. The other male bartender is also amazing and always so welcoming. Definitely a great spot to check out. You definitely wont want to leave after just one!

It's a nice quiet place. The bartender was super friendly and was able to play darts all night.

The bartender Virginia goes above and beyond to make sure all customers are having a great time! She remembers your drink when you come in and she does a great job having a conversation with you! She’s one of the big reasons why people go to Tavern!

Came in and saw Virginia tonight, but absolutely love coming in to see Gabi and Jake too! They all do a great job!

All the bartenders are extremely quick and prompt. Josie works the entire back bar by herself with 100s and never skips a beat. Kyle, Justin, Brandi are phenomenal in the front bar as well. Friendly environment Nd safe. Wouldn’t choose anywhere else to go enjoy my self any day of the week.

I literally just left this business….when I first walked in the door there was a lesbian bartender. I saw that she had customers and I said excuse me ma’am very polite and asked a question and she was rude the entire time

Bar tenders are rude to African Americans, African Americans have to pay a higher entry fee than other races. Club Diesel has a discriminating atmosphere now, due to the staff mistreatment against African Americans.

Even though Peoria Nightlife is struggling to survive on Main St. anymore, Club Diesel is not only doing all the right things to make an enjoyable experience out of being "down on Main" in Peoria but is also making themselves a great destination in it self as well as being one of the few reasons going downtown is still a worthwhile adventure.

So excited to have walked past this place! I’m not a local but I instantly felt at home welcomed! Wish I had a bar like this at home.

Friday March 1st, 2024 I (28M) went out with some friends for their 25th birthday as DD. Diesel was our last stop of the night, we spent a few really fun hours there and met some great people! However. One of our friends (26F) kept being approached by and touched inappropriately, by a strange (and very drunk) young man wearing a Bass Pro hat. He was extremely agressive and wouldn't take no for an answer. We told him multiple times to leave her alone. He claimed to know her but didnt know her name (kept guessing) and wouldn't leave. He also claimed to work there as a DJ and dared us to get the bouncer to remove him. Eventually after forcefully removing ourselves from his presence (almost leading myself, who was sober all night, into fistfight just to let the girls exit), we contacted the bouncer. After explaining our situation to him, he told us he would "take care of it" ... and proceeded to do nothing about it. I had to stand next to the bouncer to get him to eventually talk to the guy. Which resulted in nothing as well. They might've been chatting about their day from what I could tell. This made everyone at the birthday party feel extremely unsafe and like it was time to leave. If these are the types of employees that work there, it is not as safe an enviornment as we were led to believe. And sadly, even though we originally had fun, none of us will be returning. A friend made it very clear to me that I should post this to inform any other young adventuring parties. Also, my friends and I will be informing every person we know about it and hopefully changes will be made soon.

LGBTQ bar. $10 cover charge on the weekends. I've only been here on the weekends. Recently updated separate back bar and small, enclosed patio for smokers. Men's bathroom has only 2 urinals and non private toilet. Few places to sit during crowds. Be careful of late night neighborhood. Street parking only.

I went here for the first time for a scrap and yap, it happened to be a smaller crowd than previously but it was so much fun. I will definitely be returning for more activities! (And... My drink was delicious!)

The good--The staff was really friendly and were always willing to grab whatever you needed. The drinks too were the bomb and I'm not usually a drink person. Then the array of crafts was really nice. There were so many options! The bad--If you are trying to learn a new craft, then this isn't the best option. The staff are more than willing to help but they've got an entire store to keep track of. Really, the craft is more self guided with written instructions. If you have no craft knowledge than these instructions can be confusing with terminology or skipped steps that are unfamiliar. Next, it's pretty loud if you have noise sensitivity. Bring headphones.

This is a gem of a bar and studio. Courtney was so personable and made me feel so welcome. The drinks are unique and delicious. The atmosphere is light and bright.

If you need a date night idea we have just the place for all the crafty folks. ♡♡ had a Bachelorette party here. Could have asked for better service they go above and beyond. And their enthusiasm of it all is a bonus. Great vibes and great drink choices both alcoholic and non for those who don't drink.

Update May 2021: The strawberry lemonade fizz is a very dangerous beverage. It tastes like a regular strawberry lemonade 🍓🍋 but i think the invisible kick is coming. #saturdayvibes #summerdrinks🍹 #strawberrylemonade #vodkadrinks #cocktails Jul 2, 2020: Amazing mojitos can be found here as well. If there's something they do well, it's got to be the cocktails. Excellent old fashioned's can be found here. While you're hanging out with friends post COVID19, check out some of the crafts to do too.

I planned a bachelorette party recently, and we were looking for something different, that wasn’t centered around getting wasted crafted was perfect!! We had soo much fun! And the crafts are cute and trendy, we will definitely be returning. The drink selection was great, and they had both alcoholic and non alcoholic choices which was an awesome touch. The staff was super helpful and friendly and really made the whole experience very enjoyable.

We had so much fun and there were lots of crafts!
