22 Best Pubs near East Peoria

“Went to a local tavern for some drinks and slots. I found brotherhood in camaraderie that beats all. It really struck me when one of the regulars it had a little too much so they had one of the other regulars give him a ride home. They really look out for each other there. It was extremely uplifting to know that people still care about each other. I arrive a little too late for food but the drinks were great and 3 machines hit heavy. As far as my holiday weekend a celebration occurred.

thank you to the owners for such Open arms to a new patron in a special thanks to the bartender for making sure people got home safely!!“

“Had an outstanding lunch at Carrigan’s Pub today! Pork tenderloin was a generous portion, seasoned and cooked perfectly! Fries were crisp with just the right amount of salt. Very reasonably priced… Highly recommend!“

“My Brother told me about this place and their Lunch Specials for $11. We decided to go for Lunch and I had the Double Cheeseburger…I’ll tell you it is one of the best burgers in town for the price. Definitely can tell fresh from Frozen and this was absolutely Fresh! Also came with a side of fries and a soft drink for $11! Go try this place..you will not regret it. Lunch Specials are from 11am-2pm and there is a small menu with different sandwich options other than the burger!“

“Very good pizza! I recommend trying the cheese filled bread sticks also“

“Strong food ranging from traditional bar food to some more unique/healthier options (like the Irish Stew). The true distinictive of Kenny's though is the long list of bands they show off.“

“My cousin Suzie was a regular here... I've only been there once, for Sue's celebration of life, and I can understand why Suzie and Ed like this place so much!! Everyone is so friendly! The drinks went down so easy for the price!! If I'm in the area, I will go back!!“

“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!“

“Went for the Winter Solstice show The pub was only serving drinks - no food tonight They do a nice selection of food on other nights.“

“Wonderful people, wonderful place“

“The Stromboli is incredible, perfect crust and dough and great ingredients! Highly recommended“

“Bartender was absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a great place you can hang your hat, this is the place to go! Best “bar food” in town! This is petty, but, they claim to have wireless charging. Rarely works. An update of the technology, if available would be great. Overall, if I am going to spend money at a pub, it is here every time! Thank you!“

“I cannot express the amount of gratitude we have for the Campbell’s! They hosted our wedding ceremony and reception. We had the most beautiful, stress free wedding! I am in love with all my pictures and memories that they helped us create. Highly recommend the facility for any special event!“

“We had a large group at Peacock’s on a Wednesday night. We had an amazing waitress who worked her tail off, and our food came out hot and delicious. I didn’t hear one negative word from our entire group. Oh, and did I say that our waitress was great? Will definitely be back to dine in more often!“

“Alpha Bravo in Washington ILCrisp breading, nice thickness, goodL,T,P,&O but just a tad overfried. Tots were hot and crisp. Onion Rings were crisp and hot. I enjoy the thick cut ones. When you bit into it, you didn't get the rest onion comig out. Husband had the Tenderloin Pizza and also said it was a little too crisp. Once and done for the tenderloin.I would go back to try some other things on the menu.“

“My friends and I spent the morning geocaching in Jubilee SP. and were starving by the time we trekked 10+mi. We aren't from the area, and after a quick Google search, we made the out-of-the-way 5mi ride over. We were not disappointed. We had the coldest beer that we could remember with some fried pickle chips to start. I had the pork tenderloin that now 2 weeks later, I can still taste how good it was. Onion rings went perfectly with it. My geocaching buds each had burgers, and they both said they were delicious. This is exactly the small town bar experience we wanted, and it was more than we bargained for. We'll be back“

“What a great place to have a party. Hosted a party there yesterday and had a room to ourselves so we could play bunko and exchange gifts. Had a great waiter who made sure we had everything we needed. They even played Christmas music for us. Had a great time and looking forward to doing this again.“

“Always a great time with food and drinks!“

“We had an amazing experience at Schooners ! Alyssa was our server and made sure our drinks were full. The food was delicious and amazing!“

“Fish was very good. Nice and crisp. Rueben was good. Rye bread could have been better. Drinks were very good and served properly. The place was full. Service was good until it was time to check out. Took a bit. Would absolutely be back frequently if local.“

“Karrie (Pekin) is a great waitress. We were there today 9/11/24, she had two big tables and our group came in with 12, plus other smaller tables. She wasn’t even phased - she works the patio - waits tables, makes the drinks, salads and soups and hustles her butt. She is always very nice and never complains about separate checks. Thanks Karrie we appreciate you!“
