All things are relative to your expectations. If you are going to Mike's with the expectation of a 5-star dining experience, you are going to be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a great dive bar, this is the place. It is very small ... 2 tables and maybe 6 barstools. There is a decent sized patio, but we didn't go out there. The place is held together by all of the stickers on nearly every surface. The server was the bartender, the server, and the cook. She did it all seamlessly. The food was fantastic. The party ordered cheese balls and onion rings. Each were huge portions and more than enough for the three of us. I ordered a tenderloin. It was about the size of two buns, meaty, and lightly breaded. Very tasty! The party also ordered the cream cheese double cheeseburger and the grilled cheese double cheese burger. The cream cheese burger had a slather of Jalapeño cream cheese with pepper jack cheese between the burgers. My son loved it. The grilled cheese burger was a grilled cheese sandwich with a double cheeseburger in between. My other son called it cheesy deliciousness! Mike's might be the top dive bar in Peoria. I will definitely be back!

Lee was unprofessional we had conversations if was offended should've addressed right then not three weeks later. Be comfortable in your skin. I literally told you of a transitioning and you serve me my drink and we conversed. Phony unprofessional I liked Mike's but that was a weak move.

Small menu, all good. They have Redbreast, which if you like whiskey and never tried you should. Lunch, laid back vibe.

Didn't have bar stools the first time I went with my dad, a long time ago. Always tried to drop in whenever I was in PIA. Very fond memories. Glad to see they're still there.
Best bar as far as I'm concerned. Only time I've seen Mickeys hand grenades in a bar. Which means you can drink malt liquor, but not be trashy, because you're in a real establishment. Service is incredible too

Super chill, very cool little place. It was an interesting find while I was out walking - an ACTUAL neighborhood bar! Amazing giant tenderloins, good variety of beer on tap, nice outdoor seating. Definitely gonna be my summer spot!

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!
