We may have to travel back to Peoria to find a place to go...
I grew up around there... Only one bar in town (actually not in town as the town was dry until a couple years ago-- just surrounded on all sides by the town). It's called the Outpost, but it's probably not what everyone's looking for. There's a couple in Washington, Kep's and Gracie's, on the way back to P-town. After that you're looking at East Peoria/Peoria scene.
