There is a lot to do. They have a lot of games including skiball. They have a trivia night and a board game night. The beer selection is vast. I like how the space is split up so you can get away from the games area if you want.

Rudest and worst bar staff I've EVER experienced. They treat patrons and the entertainers horribly.

Ok, I went there a couple times in their first couple days of both soft and official opening weekend and I have to say that I do LOVE the retro cool renovations, the special local decor touches and the general ambiance provided by the open-concept room with a mix of seating options, a respectable alternative/alt-country playlist and an ever-friendly staff. Altho they do not yet have skee-ball and other gaming options like the other locations, there are some dart boards and a retro bubble hockey game! The real applause should directed to the beer selections and the down-to-a-science technology inherent to the extensive pour your own / pay-by-the-ounce tap wall. The only glitch was that there was no wine on tap, but that, and the glass-rinsing mechanism, are apparently still in the works. The best part of the set up though is probably the variety - in addition to 2 wines, they will be looking to keep 2 ciders, 2 meads and a hard seltzer or 2, as well as the 15 or so beer taps representing the gamut of styles. I can also say that at least initially, the choices were well thought out and include a couple not found elsewhere locally. In addition to a digital (UnTappd) beer board in front, the thing that may be most helpful for those that prefer to not "do the math", above each tap someone has chalked in a style listing with the equivalent cost (10 or 16-oz depending on style) per glass. I see a good number of whiskey options and am told they have a nice cocktail list too. The ownership/management team behind this 4th central Illinois franchise location seem to be great people and are already entertaining expansion plans. As a fan of what they've done here downtown, hopefully they can avoid the curse(s) the previous establishments ran into at this locale and their focused expedient work will be repaid. If you're looking for some unique refreshment and a cool, downtown vibe...check'em out.

Beer wall! (That is pour your own beer if you've never seen such a thing) I'm a big fan of this and the Peoria Heights location. I don't know if this one has food but the one in the Heights has great

Great patio for a show, generous cocktails and friendly staff!

Drinks on tap are mostly self service, and they also have a full service bar for drinks. They have darts, skeeball, some games, and a nice outdoor space. One of my favorite places for drinks in town.

They got different flavor of beer! Doesn’t serve food at the bar. Got lots of games to play and chill

a bit overpriced, but the patio and live music make up for it. nice bartenders too!

Mark Larkin

Great time sitting on the patio. Tried multiple beers on tap. Most were great but a few were a little heavier than I prefer, but it was fun to try em.

Why was it 15$ for one pour, and a half pour?? I pay less on the city, which is a bit ridiculous

Pour your own beer, wine and seltzers!We were headed to another local spot but then we saw the tap beer on the wall without a bar in front of it so we had to check it out! Turns out, once you check in at the bar, you get a card that you then take to the taps to activate them and pour as little or as much as you want! And you only pay for what you pour!There is no food HOWEVER you can bring in or have food delivered to eat there! And they have things to keep you entertained most nights including a Skee-ball league on Thursdays!!! ?Some arcade style video games are also available to play.

Sweet place to go and hang with friends. Cool card system so that you can try lots of different drinks. There’s lots of fun things to try: darts, skee ball, board games, and trivia too! Really big and popular bar downtown.
