“Best place to play darts, remote play options available, dart leagues anyone can join. They also sell darts! Multiple slot machines. Huge bar with great mixed drinks and the prices are the lowest around. Try the Salty Nut drink! Best 4$ you will spend!“
“Great local spot to have a cold beer or play slot machines. The staff are very friendly and happy you stopped in. If you get hungry they do serve Butches Pizza. There is a pool talk for you pool sharks, rack them up. They have cozy outside seating so you can have a drink chill with friends. For you smokers, you and smoke out in the outside seating are and enjoy your drink at the same time. This place outside seating with make the summer more enjoyable for us that like being outside.“
“I drive past the Neon Bison all the time and decided to stop in one night. I HAD A BALL! ? I was greeted at the door by a lady name DANIELLE and she was so comforting. I told her this was my first time here/alone and she definitely looked out for me the whole night. THANKS DANIELLE.“
“Hands down the best lunch in Peoria for the price and food quality. It is amazing and the cost is not much more than a fast food combo. Try the shrimp and grits or the brisket sandwich. They even have a gluten free crustless quiche and salad combo.“
“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.Vegetarian options: Beer is vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Unclear.Parking: Kind of an uneven parking spot, but fine.Kid-friendliness: Who brings a kid to a bar?Wheelchair accessibility: Shouldn't have an issue.“
“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.“
“Matt and Sara hosted our company holiday party recently and it was such a fun and memorable experience. The food was delicious, the activities were so much fun, and the staff were so warm, welcoming, and highly professional. If you're looking for a great place to host a party or somewhere to go on a date or with a group of friends this is the place!“
“The food was good, drinks were good. We shared a tenderloin and it was plenty for both of us. I do have a comfort animal. Not usually allowed here. However, it was a 35 degree day and they allowed her to lay next me. TY.. I appreciated that so much. We won't bring her next time, but everything was superb!!!“
“Great place to hang out with friends.It had live music Saturday night and it's a busy place. It's a small space with an enjoyable atmosphere.The cocktail are delicious and there are little card games on the side for public use.Would definitely come back!Parking: Would need to park on the street a block or 2 away, or across the street somewhere else. There is no parking lot attached.“
“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!“
“Went to Mike's Tavern in West Peoria IL for lunch today. This is a small hole in the wall bar and grill. You first think of a two and a half garage that someone turned into a bar. You would be close . The owner is happy to tell you the history of the place. I had their Tenderloin. Crispy crust, toasted and buttered bun. On the thin side of tenderloins but still thicker then most. Just comes with chopped onions and at least a dozen pickles. No lettuce or tomatoes. Husband had the Double Cheeseburger. Once again only chopped onions and pickles. We shared an order of Truffel Oil Fries. Hot and crispy. They were hard to stop eating! Normally these are Parmesan Truffle Oil Fries but they were out of Parmesan. Definitely worth a stop in for lunch. Kitchen isn't open on Monday or Tuesday. Small menu but food is GOOD EATS!“
“The Trolley is really a fun place to go to. The food is amazing and has a wonderful variety of food. I had the Asian Salad and husband had the tenderloin and AMAZING pasta salad. We had the onion rings as an appetizer- perfection ( hot & delicious). We eat here often because of the menu variety and great prices!“
“Quintessential pool bar with the loosest machines in all of Pekin. The Wednesday tacos are amazing and the staff is attentive and will never let you go thirsty. The owner is the friendliest person and makes sure every single individual who enters his establishment leaves with a great impression.“
“The drinks were good, but we were never approached by a waiter, so had to go to the bar for all our drinks. They have nice outside seating, but after a while, you can't exit. The 3 gates were locked!!! Made me think, what if there's an emergency??!! We won't be back.“
“Not many of the old neighborhood bars left in Peoria any but this is a great one. The neighborhood itself isnt what it used to be, but a good group of regulars make this still a good place. Whitey serves up great lunches also. Basic cheeseburger, wings and pizza and cold drinks!“
“I know Steve and Reba, They are a great couple. They've ran this far very well, they have awesome staff, it's definitely a neighborhood spot which I left to would love if I grew up in the area and this is where everybody knows your name whenever I'm in the area. I have to take a moment to stop and say hello to old friends And also to enjoy the ambience They always have good service. And when they do serve food, it's awesome.Totally enjoy the Time I spend there.Parking: If you catch it on the wrong time there isnt a lot of parking. And wheelchair accessibility is not the best but Definitely doable, especially if you know anybody in there. They're always willing to help“
“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“
“We stopped in with a big group and the staff was awesome. Friendly, helpful and accommodating. Beer is cold, mixed drinks were poured right. I didn't get food so I could not rate them on their quality. Clean and great place. Stop by and have a good time.“
“Tavern Burger.Stupid good. ?Then rivaled by the talent that showed up for open mic night.Seasoned veterans that made it look easy, killing the harmonica!Then some.Then 1 Man band killed his opening and I thought of Eagles 7 Bridge Road, then he played it.And then I wiped my eyes.Was a good day.“
“That's a great bar down in East Peoria. Friendly atmosphere they got games. They've got one pool table they've got shuffleboard and a dart game. But the staff and the owners there they're just so friendly what a great place to go and hang out“
“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!“
“Good people, fair prices, many drink options, and a great place to play pool, darts or a round of Golden Tee. We stopped in and met the owners. They were great people and since they purchased the bar in late 2019 they did a wonderful job on remodeling and renovations. Stop in and give it a try!?“
“I Enjoy the park but I'd like to travel and see some other thing's very soon being in East Peoria living is getting boring I am intelligent smart and wise and caple of many things so I believe it's time for me to go to the East Coast somewhere like WASHINGTON D.C.“
“Easily the best quality and most unique bar in EP. I would say almost all bars in EP and around here- outside of Peoria are dive bars and this is one of the best feeling ones, as class goes. The bartender Mandy is dope, nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to have a conversation with. Have not run into one rude regular, yet!“
“The food was great as well as the service. Sorry, I didn't get the name of our waitress. We were in the lower level with 2 very vocal baby girls for a surprise birthday for my brother Mike. Our waitress was awesome!Kid-friendliness: They had high chairs for the babies“
“Went there last night for the first time. I tried the pizza bread and my mom tried the pizza bombs and they both came out a little burnt on the bottoms, but we didn’t say anything just ate around it and was still happy with the food! We paid and walked out and after getting almost block away one of the waitresses came running out and said she noticed the burnt pieces still on the plate, she asked if we wanted a reimbursement or some money off the next time we came. We opted for the money off next time and she wrote down our name! We really appreciated her noticing the pieces and giving us those two options as other places probably wouldn’t have said anything at all. Whether it came out burnt or not we definitely would have been back either way. It was really good and I can’t wait to try other things on the menu!“
“A classic watering hole. Old school bar owned by a Tow Company. Could pass for a museum with all the memorabilia on the wall. Healthy pours and frosty cans of beer. Patrons are quick with a story from the good ol days or a classic joke. Best prices in town.“
“It is always a pleasure to hang at kickbacks, I really truly mean it……..Relaxing, Friendly, great location, enjoyable music and the bartenders are mellow in a professional manner… This wouldn’t be the Fantastic place it is without the Super Cool owner Patricia…“
“I was a little skeptical about new ownership of BG's and how it would change things. BUT! I was so wrong! Nothing really changed, the staff was talkative, fun and quick to serve. We were there for a pre-reunion to our class reunion and with the karaoke going strong, we all had a blast and I even have plans to keep heading up there for the fun!“
