Christy's Place - Washington, Illinois

We were exploring Washington and noticed a hidden bar called Christie's! Christie's turned out to be a clean, fun, and cheap little hole in the wall! We met Brandy, and were very impressed with the attention and service we received, even when the place filled up with other Customers. The daily drink specials are worth going there every day of the week. We had a "Butches" frozen pizza, and thoroughly enjoyed it! They have the Touch Tunes Juke box, that played music the entire time we were there. Dart boards and slot machines and a couple tv's are available. Christie's also has an enclosed porch in the back, that provided wonderful protection from the cold and wind for us smokers. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return! Thank you Brandy! read more

Extremely unprofessional to cancel a band you already booked for no reason other than "you're in the game to make money and can't book no-name bands".. Then don't book them in the first place! By the way, this is NOT the first band they have cancelled on short notice, and they've even stopped a band playing mid-set because they felt the crowd wasn't "big enough". I WAS looking forward to seeing this band play, but now I'll see them at a better venue with better management and won't step a single foot into your bar, and will tell my friends the same. Stick to the game machines, because Christy's is not a music venue. read more

Unprofessional and does not follow through. This place can't be trusted. Spend your money elsewhere. All they care about is their bottom line. Nothing else. read more

"Time destroys everything." Friday night. Karaoke night. Thanksgiving break. You're 21 years old. Members of your graduating high school class and their respective parents populate the bar. Vibrancy dictates the general ambiance of the bar; a sort of happy-go-lucky atmosphere of a promising tomorrow that will surely come. Two more semesters until everyone attains that coveted degree, and mom and pop couldn't be prouder. The opening sounds of Queen's "We are the Champions" ignites a frenzied chorus of Dionysian revelers truly living for the moment. Return a few years later. The same populace appears in a slightly modified form. People have put on some weight. They look a little less thrilled with the prospect of a potentially disappointing tomorrow, but assuage these fears with gallons of Bud Light and 40-proof "shots." Everyone is putting off that degree for a while and focusing on themselves, but they couldn't be happier with their new fiance and can't wait to see what life has in store for them. The opening sounds of "We are the Champions" lightens the mood and banishes the slightly foreboding prospect of this being all there is to life. Skip a few years. The same populace is cauterizing the evident existential wounds inflicted by an inescapable life in rural Midwest Illinois with unhealthy amounts of Bud Light and fruity "liquors." That degree never happened, but I'm not too unhappy working at dad's company! My fiance and I never quite worked out, but joint custody isn't the worst thing in the world, right? The parents of said peers have inexplicably swapped spouses around in some bizarre social manifestation of Red Rover. The patrons silently bemoan the opening notes of "We are the Champions": A ritual that has become as stale as it is existentially crushing. We are the champions, my friend. Of what, exactly? Couldn't tell you. read more

I wish I could give zero stars but you have to pick one in order to review the place. Wow. I've been in a lot of places that could use a little help but it's been a really long while since I've seen a place more mismanaged as this. On top if that they have mean spirited people running the place which could be where that stems from. But if you don't want to own a business or further more don't want to run a successful business than try and open your mind and watch what you say about people. You never know who's connected to people that can end your carrier as a already bad buissnes owner. There is a whole lot of talent surrounding the Peoria area. Try to be sensible and maybe you could have some of it grace your hole in the dirty wall. read more

Sometimes your in , sometimes your not. Depends if the bartender wants to close or not. I wouldn't recommend if you're coming for an over 25 year age setting. Needs bands and a little more atmosphere. Good paying customers should be treated better read more

If I could give them a 0 I would. They do not suppost local music. They cancelled on a young up and coming band, who happen to be doing very well. I would recommend going somewhere else. read more
