Despite having three people behind the bar, it appeared only one was making cocktails. Service took awhile for my party of three. My companions both enjoyed their drinks. I ordered the Smoke Break. It was tasty, but was lacking the smoky flavor I was expecting. I look forward to going back and trying the food.

My wife and I had dinner here for our anniversary tonight. This is my 5th time here and the second time with my wife.
The food was disappointing. Service was great.
We ordered the Deviled Eggs, the Korean Oyster Mushrooms, the Brussels Sprouts, the Chevre Dumplings, and the Pork Sliders.
My biggest disappointment is that Black Band does not know how to season their food. Some dishes were extremely over seasoned, and others almost none.
The Brussels Sprouts were so overwhelmingly salty, we could not finish them. They were also also over cooked to the point of having no "green" color left. You don't need to cook it that long.
The oyster mushrooms did not seem like mushrooms. Just over fried and over salted batter. If there were mushrooms in the crispy batter, they were completely unrecognizable.
The pork sliders on the other hand had zero seasoning. There was absolutely no salt on the meat. The sliders were actually pretty good and could have been a great dish if there was just a little seasoning on the meat.
Both the deviled eggs and the Chevre Dumplings were excellent. We could have made an entire meal out of the dumplings.
As usual their drinks were great and the cocktail menu is always impressive.
Overall the food was very average for Peoria and sad because had the seasoning been better controlled, those dishes could have been good.
Hoping this was a fluke, and we can return again in the future.

We came here when Sarah Mooberry was performing, on a beautiful Saturday, for a little happy hour day drinking! We walked in and it was A COMPLETE VIBE that was so addictive our 1 drink outing turned into a 4 drink outing. Sarah Mooberry was so fun, the drinks were AMAZING (Special shout-out to our bartender Erin, who never let our drinks stay empty, even though the brewery was short staffed). We will 100% be back on Saturdays for music and drinks!!

Great server and beautiful atmosphere, but the food is trying too hard and it is not workingz We had the wings, mushrooms, and crab cakes to start. Crab cakes were the best of the 3 - nushrooms were funky, wings were not crispy and too mustardy. We went on to have swordfish scewers, flatiron steak, and Osso Bucco….none of which were seasoned well. Whiskey was good for local. Fries were the best thing we ate as an afterthought. Will not be back. Too bad since there is such a beautiful ambiance.

Food was phenomenal and the place is gorgeous. Service was great and the drinks were very good. The Bourbon was ok at best but good. Good spot if you like gin.
Beautiful warehouse district distillery building. Loved the flag inside. Great drinks and amazing service. I was excited about the menu but the food didn't deliver as expected. Would try again.
Beautiful building and everything was very clean! We didn't eat, but the patrons there were raving over the food. The bartender was excellent. Definitely take the tour! Tate (I think was his name) gave us a tour of the facility and was extremely informative. There's a good tasting at the end. We bought a couple of really good bottles! And if its a concern of yours, all of their products are organic and made with locally sourced grains. Stob by and enjoy!

Had the San Fran Noodles at first, it was so salty. They need to reduce the amount of salt they put in it. Then, I ordered the Dumplings. That wasn’t dumplings in my opinion, it was almost salty too. Overall, didn’t enjoy my meal especially for the price and hassle I went through to get there.

Nice cocktails and cool scene. They distill their own gin, vodka, whiskey and rye.
