Brasky's Bar & Grill

Located at 9901 Knoxville Avenue in the vibrant Riverfront district of Peoria, Illinois, Brasky's Bar & Grill offers a classic American dining experience with a lively bar atmosphere. The spacious indoor dining room features reclaimed‑wood tables, exposed brick walls, and neon signage that echo the venue’s retro‑sports‑bar vibe, while the covered outdoor patio, illuminated by string lights, provides a relaxed setting for al fresco meals. Guests can savor signature dishes such as the Brasky’s Bacon‑Cheddar Burger, slow‑smoked baby back ribs, crispy chicken wings tossed in the house‑made “Spicy Z‑Sauce,” and loaded nachos topped with jalapeños, cheddar, and guacamole. Chef Mike Thompson, a Peoria‑born culinary enthusiast, oversees the kitchen and adds a personal touch to every plate, ensuring generous portions and bold flavors. The bar showcases a rotating selection of craft beers from local breweries, a curated list of whiskeys, and daily drink specials that change each evening. Live entertainment is a staple: The Holdouts rock the stage on weekends, while The StrangerZ bring a high‑energy party vibe on select nights. Karaoke sessions hosted by Ace Entertainment draw crowds every Thursday. Brasky's opens Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight, and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a moderate $$ price range suitable for families, groups, and after‑work gatherings. Convenient parking is available nearby, and the venue is a short walk from the Peoria Riverfront Museum and the historic downtown district, making it an ideal stop for locals and tourists alike.
