    Picture Guinness
    pat b.

    Good - Great experience overall. Good staff. great band. Clean. Great decor very comfortable atmosphere and the bar is nice and spacious Bad- the one thing an Irish bar has to do right which they do wrong is the Guinness. It was flat. I did not even finish. See pic. No foam on side

    I went there with two friends who I had not seen much in the past many many years. We had a lot to talk about. When every other diner on the patio had come and gone, we still didn't have our food. After we asked about our order our wonderful waiter returned and told us that they had lost the ticket, found it and were getting our order ready. This would not have been well accepted had we not been visiting and we kind of enjoyed the extra time together. Our waiter couldn't have been more kind and apologetic. He was what made our wait tolerable (I only wish I could remember his name). Needless to say, they generously comped our lunch and we gave our nice waiter a very generous tip.

    What a nice surprise that an Irish Pub actually has Irish beer! Harp, Kilkenny, Smithwicks, and of course Guinness on tap. The staff is friendly and listens to good music. I had the pork tenderloin and was WAY too much to eat.

    The food here was very good and the prices were great! The two waitresses offered great service and the food was ready quickly after ordered. The atmosphere of the pub was very welcoming and had a lot of friendly faces. I hope to come back again soon :)

    We came here on a Saturday afternoon to get a couple drinks after a wedding. Kenny's has a wide selection of drinks with a beer for everyone's tastes. I got a mango wheat beer that I really liked. We also decided to get some pretzel bites. They were very different than what I was expecting. It seems like they took a soft pretzel, cut it up, fried the pieces, and sprinkled some seasoning on it. It really worked. Also, the bar staff were super friendly. Coming from Chicago, the prices were so cheap it felt like a dream.

    Went on a Saturday afternoon, sat at the bar. Great service and food. Dill pickle soup is really a must try here. The chicken wings were also super good--- crispy and fresh out the fryer. Perfect spot for lunch no complaints.

    Kenny's Westside Pub has great food, drinks, atmosphere, and service in a downtown Peoria Irish Pub. What more can you ask for? The Strawberry Walnut Salad and Irish stew are 5/5. I never would have thought a random bar in the Midwest would serve such a good salad. The raspberry vinaigrette, sweet slices of strawberry, and ample amount of walnuts mixed well with the spinach and leafy greens. The Irish stew had a hearty beef broth with tender cuts of beef, carrots, celery, and a sourdough bread slice at the bottom of the plate soaking up all that beefy goodness. The tots had an excellent crispy breading and tasted great with ketchup. The cup of dill pickle soup was a little weird and had a ton of sour cream in it. It wasn't my favorite dish but was worth a try. The sour ale Duchesse de Bourgogne I drank was good. It tasted like an alcoholic apple cider. Servers constantly checked up on us and made our meal more enjoyable.

    Stopped on a Saturday night before a Rivermen game, the server got up a table and took our order. I had the roast beef sandwich (The Dublin) which came with a dipping sauce of Irish stew and it was very good. My guest had tenderloin horseshoe with tater tots, another outstanding dish we will be back! The Rivermen won Saturday night, now we are back on Sunday afternoon before the final game of the Championship. After waiting in line we optioned to sit at the bar. We split a chicken sandwich with tater tots.

    Reuben sandwich hit the spot.

    No better place than Peoria for a Reuben. It's bar food after all so what can I say, but for something open late, grab yourself some Irish fare and go see a Grateful Dead cover band. You'll feel right at home.

    Great atmosphere and food! Had the pork tenderloin. Sandwich was huge. No way to eat it all. Definitely 2-3 meals in one.

    They accepted our phone reservation and when we arrived we were told we could not be seated, a group of 8. No apology just, can't help.

    Visiting from out of town. Is this strictly a bar, or is it ok for kids (on a Sunday night)?

    We visited on a Thursday night and saw a couple of families with kids. Shouldn't be a problem.

    In the past, we had went out for their English breakfast. It took forever to get food. Went out…read morewithin the last 30 days and to complete turnaround! Waitress was attentive, food was served promptly cooked, wonderfully, and served hot off the grill. Best meal I have ever had there! I don't know why the complete turnaround that really had a wonderful time!

    Review Visit: February 13th, 2018…read more What does the Fox say? Arrroooooooo (in a British Accent)! What does that translate to? It's a bit long-winded, so bear with me. *In a British accent* "Hello, savvy reader. If you love some good British food and are in the central Illinois region, The Fox is right up your alley." "Their entire menu is British-themed and so is the pub. While the pub itself isn't overloaded with British things, you can tell it's got a British vibe while not being too gauche." "The food is delectable. Exquisite." "Mmmm, yes." Wow, the fox had a lot to say! Do I agree with the Fox? Yes. My friends and I came here and loved every bit of it. The service was fantastic and the place felt welcoming and friendly. I ordered the Chipotle Beefeater Brisket and it was phenomenal. We sampled my friends Hummus and while I am not big on hummus, we all agreed it was great. Everyone gushed over how great their food was. Another perfect example that bar/pub food is the best food. I sadly didn't get a ton of photos as I was focused on hanging out with my friends. I will snap a few more the next time I go. Be aware that if you do visit that they have Trivia on Thursdays nights. We tried to come here on one of those nights and it was packed and they suggested we come back another time due to it being too busy. So if you need your Bangers and Mash or Fish and Chips fix and are in the Peoria area, this is the perfect place for you.
