Friendly Valley Tavern

(Peoria, IL)

Scooter’s 1740th bar, first visited in 2023.

Friendly Valley Tavern, Peoria

Our last dive bar for this trip opened in an old bunker in 1947. The oddly-shaped building features a low and sloping ceiling in the men’s restroom that makes it difficult for tall people to stand up in there.

Outside is an expansive beer garded with a stage and a sand volleyball court. The bar hosts volleyball leagues, or at least tournaments, according to the stickers they gave us.

I had an Alpha King (pale ale) by 3 Floyds Brewing and a shot of Dough Balll (cookie dough flavored whiskey).
