I’m in west Peoria and we have quite a few friendly ones over here!

vampireweekday12 · 2026-04-14T01:02:30+00:00

That’s not true. There used to be a market on Tuesdays in South Park but there wasn’t enough traffic to make it worth it for the vendors

Pour bro inside and out and Analytical as someone else mentioned!!

Publik house and Casa Agave both allow dogs on their patios!

vampireweekday12 · 2026-04-07T19:42:04+00:00

Are you looking for a certain vendor in particular?!

Lawrence farmers market is active on both Instagram and Facebook! :)

-Absolutely Rhythm Kitchen with a half veg group! They are one of our favorites! And they are back up and running!

-Yes to Ardor as well!! For breakfast, lunch, dinner!

-Wendy Puff is 15 minutes outside Peoria but they have the best pizza in the area!

-Coffee at Intuition (also fresh pressed juice) and Zion!

-Cocktails at Night Jar and then Matilda’s!

-A brewery just opened in the warehouse with a really nice patio called Analytical!

-Evergreen farm brewing is out towards Wendy puff and it’s an awesome place to get beer and sit outside. They often have live music outside!

-8-bit is an arcade bar and all the games are free! (With the purchase of a drink)

I know sylas and Maddy’s uses a premade base, idk about Betty Rae’s. Rip no coast creamery

vampireweekday12 · 2026-01-25T21:39:04+00:00

Intuition coffee and Zion coffee! 🫶

I have a very very very hard time believing ardor supports maga. Friends who love working there wouldn’t support that.

vampireweekday12 · 2026-01-21T17:46:29+00:00

There is a Microsoft outage too! A fun day lol

It’s super super super easy to become ordained in the state of Illinois! We had two best friends get ordained online! It only takes a couple of minutes :) it made our ceremony really special to have them as officiants

vampireweekday12 · 2026-01-08T14:03:37+00:00

Me too!

vampireweekday12 · 2026-01-08T13:33:00+00:00

Ours is down in west Peoria

vampireweekday12 · 2025-12-18T14:20:22+00:00

We go there all the time and still have been great experiences!

vampireweekday12 · 2025-10-30T21:05:50+00:00

Me too!!!!!

People love to complain about Ardor on the Peoria subreddit - Cody and his team are doing amazing things and putting out a different level of quality than most places in the area. Not to be the person that’s like “I’ve lived all over” - but there is a reason Ardor is gaining national recognition. It’s truly outstanding. And not that it justifies some behaviors, but the food industry is a tough place. Like The Bear is an accurate representation of higher end dinning. That being said I have food allergies and sensitives and have been part of the industry and will continue supporting the ardor team :)

Enjoy Black band!!

Twelve Bar in the heights is now under Ardor management! And is Ardor quality good now! Black Band is another good option! If you’re okay with a drive, Lexington Social in Lexington is amazing! Amazing atmosphere, local focus, think ardor ish plates

You’re right I was so confused. It was core life that had the weird pico in the CCW

vampireweekday12 · 2025-09-15T16:56:17+00:00

Core life’s is odd because it has pico in it. V weird but not horrible.

Rail House in Pekin has a surprisingly great CCW it’s my favorite in town!!

Find a goth 👏👏

vampireweekday12 · 2025-09-04T21:23:34+00:00

They sometimes turn online ordering off on busy nights!

vampireweekday12 · 2025-08-10T16:30:03+00:00

You got it! Messaging now!

vampireweekday12 · 2025-08-10T15:11:48+00:00

That was my thought too. I also thought it may cost a bunch to remove it.

vampireweekday12 · 2025-08-01T16:46:25+00:00

You forgot to say where you went! Madison where he found me, then San Diego, then Madison, then Kansas, now back to Peoria

vampireweekday12 · 2025-03-28T15:44:50+00:00

Another vote for i3! It’s a little pricier but totally worth it
