Peoria is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Peoria follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Oooookay, took me a minute to review this place cause I wanted to try a few things first and O! M! G! FIRST of all! I had two different bartenders… Jill and Ricki… they were AMAZING!!! Absolutely stellar service and really quick with the comebacks- very witty… Jill made some cool leather thing too… the cornbread was HUGE and SO GOOD!!! Also… finding good okra in Peoria… it’s this place…. Of course I tried that grilled cheese that the sweet waitress Kim suggested- she was right… delicious!!! Honestly, I’m coming back for the food & the service… I might’ve become a regular now… love this place, this might have just become my favorite spot in peoria…. The THCdrinks aren’t my jam but they are available there Great location too- right downtown, street parking, indoor outdoor seating, sometimes live entertainment, chill vibes…. I love this place!!!!

Really fun "honky-tonk-style" bar / restaurant with classic dishes and some unique dishes to choose from. Full-bar with imports, domestics, and local brews on tap. Live music plays here as well. Definitely try the Piggy Back Grilled Cheese for something delicious and different. I was there on a Friday evening around 6ish and it was not busy at all.

First time here but love bison as a choice for burger. Both (Husband) and I had the bison burger. Very good hand cut fries were excellent and came out extremely hot. We live about 90 miles away, but we will be back. I sampled the local blonde beer that I ended up getting a draft glass oven. It was very good.

Feb 11, 2026 - visited again (5th time). Kim was our server this time. 5 stars or more all around. Great food. Great service. Great vibe. Love this place! Wednesday my daughter and I made our 4th visit here. We arrived around 4pm - were warmly welcomed and served by Ricki. I had the chicken breast sandwich - fantastic. We each had a couple of their signature cocktails - also fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about the Neon Bison - great food, great service, great decor and atmosphere. We will absolutely visit again.
