This is one of the last great dive bars in the area. Starting with a history that begins in the…read moreearly 1920s, carrying through the prohibition, thriving with the workers of Caterpillar, and today representing the final classic holdout in a gentrified area, the Center Tap is the same place it was when our grandparents went to a bar. If you are looking for a place like Cheers on TV this is the place for you. Cheap beer and daily drink specials pair well with local made pizzas while watching cable broadcasting one of the HD flat-screen TVs behind the bar. The staff are friendly and down to earth and will remember you and your drink of choice. To pay, they accept cash, a plethora of card options, as well as tap pay. There are dozens of regulars who are all good hearted characters themselves. Whether you need a quick stop at the watering hole or a night out with the crew, the Center Tap is the best place in the area to experience a simpler fun.

This place tops the list for Vintage Dive Bars that absolutely refuse to give in…read more Marty's Center tap is a time capsule operation when Blue Collar Workers ordered a drink or two or three after working a shift at the Caterpillar Plant just down the road. It's a simple pleasure venue...Basically a vintage Dive Bar "landlocked" in the midst of a concrete jungle that we call "Progress". Center Tap is being swallowed up by Strip Malls, Corporate Hotels, Banks and every damn Chain Restaurant imaginable You wont find this place on the East Peoria Tourism or Travel Guide...Only Here!
