“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!“
“some of the nicest ppl go here“
“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“
“Give @TheHoleShot a follow!! Great Owners, Tenders, and friends. Beers are always cold, and slots are always hot! Cum on down to the March 30th open jam celebrating my 33rd birthday party ! Jam starts 7-?! See you there!“

“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!“
“From everything I've read about this place, it seems like it's very friendly and that they also have wonderful service staff where you feel as if you are right at home. I'd definitely recommend this place to go for a nice, friendly like neighborhood corner bar. Folks, don't miss out on feeling part of another friendly family like people and stop on in for a nice meal or even a cold beer or soda“

“Food was really good but too messy to be served without silverware. Really new tho and they seem to be working out kinks on the fly, real well.
Super cool retro arcade featuring old school games and music, ski-ball, very decent pinball selection--a couple old school and about 6 more up to date.
Pool room with nice tables, air hockey, big race game thing that 6-8 ppl can play.
Also big ax throwing set up. We watched and it looked super fun.
It was Level Uppish but fully adult and a more homey vibe. Will go again.“

“The restaurant is beautiful, I love the looks of the bar.
The wait staff was very busy which I understand but we did have a bit of a wait to get our drinks and our appetizers. I actually didn't mind because my boyfriend and I were enjoying our time.
The food was excellent!! The scallops and salmon as well as the dressing. We will definitely visit there again when we come to Peoria!!“
“Went to Washington Mo to see family. We were looking for a place to have a drink. This was the nicest little pub around. We were there early in the day , but the owner was super friendly and welcoming. The patrons were good local people and welcomed us to their little corner of the world. I will always remember this place.“

“I’m asking if you would get into shipping, out of Wisconsin the company named cheese Brothers I ordered their cheese all the time but what I’m really missing is yours one time not too long ago well several years ago I should say, you shipped to me and trusted me to send you a check, which I did. I really really want your garlic, horseradish cheese that you make, how can we make that happen?“
“love this bar. Most bartenders are friendly.“

“classy cocktails, retro atmosphere, great customer service. quite a gem“
“Another great carryout meal. Thanks guys!!!“
“Our main slot joint. Some days the machines are tight and sometimes we can manage a little wiggle room. Bartenders can't be beat and almost never a dull moment in here. Always open til 4am and nothing fancy about it, so you know what to expect. Would recommend, but that might cause more competition on the machines. lol Thanks guys.“
“Best place in Metamora. Awesome bar.“
“Great service at this place! Had a Golden Tee machine and darts as well. We did order a pizza that was not very good. I don't think they are homemade so whatever brand they have isn't very good. Although it could just be me but hardly any pizza sauce and like barely any cheese way too much meat on it. If u love meat more than life this is your pizza! Lol otherwise a really great place to stop in and hang for a bit!“
“A friend and I stopped here because our event was over and we didnt want to go home yet, it was close and open. Knew nothing about it and I am so glad we did. I have never been to a place with friendlier patrons and servers. It was clean and smaller but still felt roomy. If I was close, this would be my place but I will be back when I am in the area.“
“A great place to relax , #1Stop deserves good props. Great prices, no hassle, friendly staff, and quiet safe areas for pool and gaming. I've met very kind employees and others during my recent find of #1 Stop. Clearly my favorite bar in the Peoria area, worth the short drive over. Ben“

“Always enjoy Pour Brothers. Great selection of brews, both local and national. Their selection of other liquor is quite astounding as well. The games they offer are just the cherry on top of fun time. This establishment is neatly kept and very clean and comfortable. Stop by and experience the rare pay as your pour bars around. Also, keep an eye on their website or FB page for the many events!“
“The atmosphere is great . The service is very friendly and efficient. The food is very good and the portions are great for the price. We had tacos and Irish nachos, the daily specials, and they were very good. We would order them again anytime.“
“Friendly folks low prices LIVE MUSIC“
“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!?“

“REALLY like this place. Small, homey bar. My girlfriend and I are always looking for a nearby pool table. We just started going a couple times a week, and the regulars are all VERY friendly and welcoming. We'll be going back, soon!! The bar IS cash only, so if you're only using a card, this might not need the place, but they do have an atm“
