I didn’t get to a bar the other night so today we’re posting a tribute to a classic Peoria bar from the past: Katie McButt’s. Katie McButt’s was a legendary Peoria Irish tavern that opened up in the early ’80’s and shut down in 2014. tinyurl.com/mucyv272 #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

I went to Kingston Mines this week for the first time and had a fun evening at The Duck Blind there. It’s a wonderful neighborhood bar with a full menu, pool table, gaming machines and a huge outdoor beer patio. tinyurl.com/2hru4zsu #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

In line to see @alyankovic.bsky.social in #Peoria. It's a big line.

We’ve already hit the Peoria Kouri’s Pub on this tour and last Sunday I went and had dinner and drinks at their sister pub in Pekin. I had a nice Sunday dinner and met some fun people at the Kouri’s Pub in Pekin, our 234th bar in the 365 tour! tinyurl.com/bdda83dz #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

Every year Theresa and Paul McHenry host a fun party devoted to Halloween & chicken wings called, the HalloWING Thing party. Last Saturday I attended the 2026 HalloWING Thing party & luckily there’s a bar in their garage called, The Witches Brew Inn! tinyurl.com/2han3mf #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

I had a couple of beers and another nice evening at The Outpost in Eureka, Illinois at the 232nd stop of the 365 tour of bars in Central Illinois. And they have the most interesting urinals of all of the bars in this tour so far! tinyurl.com/4tt9rnn2 #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars.

I traveled to Knoxville, Illinois with my friend, Jim and we went to the Roadhouse Sportsbar and had a fun evening. Roadhouse has something that we’ve never seen at a bar before and it’s featured in the post! tinyurl.com/yt7wb76k #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

A new restaurant opened up last July in Morton called, The Family Grill & Bar. And since “bar” is part of their name, I thought I’d go there for our 230th evening of visiting bars in and around Central Illinois. tinyurl.com/4juywxxx #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars
