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

Last Tuesday I ran across the website for the Firehouse Pizza & Pub in East Peoria. I went there for the blog back in 2013 & thought I was overdue for a return visit. So I went back after 13 years, got a pizza, some beers & had a fun night in there! tinyurl.com/3ad7739y #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

Last Friday evening I was a guest at the wedding of Shailey Heuermann and Jeremiah Peterson at the Trailside Event Center in the Trefzger’s Bakery building in Peoria Heights. Luckily there was a bar in there! tinyurl.com/4y8d5rap #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

Today is the closing day for Emo’s Dairy Mart for this season. I thought it was only fitting to go and get this week’s Sunday Steering Wheel Meal from Emo’s and take a few last pictures for the year of that creepy clown on top of their roof! tinyurl.com/56c3w9ez #MBIP #Peoria #CreepyClowns

Last summer the legendary Peoria nightclub, Big Al’s opened up after being closed back in 2024. Last Thursday I got a “before hours” tour of the newly remodeled club for our 365 bar tour! tinyurl.com/yecffhvb #Peoria #MBIP #365Bars

Last Wednesday my friend Jim drove us to Washburn, Illinois and we hung out and had drinks and dinner at the Brick Lounge Bar & Grill. The food was fantastic, but the homemade onion rings were over the top delicious! tinyurl.com/2tput3t7 #MBIP #Peoria #365Bars

I stopped in at Big Behm’s Sports Bar on Galena Road last Tuesday and had a couple of beers and a nice evening in there. The bar recently turned one year old and let’s hope it’s in business for many more! tinyurl.com/yh5x5442 #Peoria #MBIP #365Bars.

Last Monday evening I met my friends, Amy and Steve at Rosie’s Wine Bar, the newest bar in Peoria Heights. We had a fabulous evening there and I really liked Rosie’s, you should definitely check it out. tinyurl.com/ynju5x9z #Peoria #MBIP #365Bars

Since my car is in the shop getting a new starter installed, I wasn’t able to do the weekly Sunday Steering Wheel Meal. So today we have a Sunday Blog About Nothing. I’ll be back tomorrow with a brand new bar post! tinyurl.com/2ppuxcs4 #MBIP #Peoria #Nothing.
