The shopping center this Bonny's is located in can get pretty crowded. It's a bit dangerous to maneuver around. Be careful.

I saw Three Floyd's in there at one time. I came to knew the older guy, well, he came to knew me on many an occasion to the point when I forgot my license he let me slide. Their selection ain't top of the line if 707 can top it, but location location location. Typically used as a jump off point, I could count on finishing my 40of King Cobra before jumping the tracks, or a third of a case of Miller Lite. Price wise? pretty standard, not too high. As long as that handle of Smirnoff Black is under twenty, you're set.

I've been here twice, both at the bar, and I really enjoyed the visits. It's definitely unique and upscale, with a restaurant section, bar, and patio. You can see the distillery through glass which gives the place a steam punk vibe. I tried a number of their whiskey based cocktails - old fashioneds, manhattans. and such. The cocktails are well-executed although they tend to run a tad sweet. Still, with the service and ambiance and quality, it's definitely a great spot to come alone or with a group.

The only woman working in the bar (tallish, brown hair) acted very standoffish when she saw us. We asked if the bar is open until midnight and the woman said "not if there's no one here". Mind you- it was only 10pm and the bar is supposed to be open until midnight. The woman working said we could do a "quick shot", but we were planning on hanging out for a bit. We decided we did not want to be rushed and started to leave. The woman working said "I'm not telling you to leave, that's her decision", talking about me. We thought that comment was very snarky because she was basically telling us she was closed even though there were 2 more hours until the bar was supposed to close. Overall a very uncomfortable and exclusionary experience. Do not go here unless you want to be made to feel like an idiot for coming in 2 hours before they close.

Pour me another one, cap'n…read more Years ago, Rhodell Brewery was located just a block over from their new location and truth be told, I've been to this new location quite a few times. A few times for birthdays and a few times for just grabbing a beer and shooting the breeze. I was in the mindset of not re-reviewing places until recently but I figured new places (and time) mean new experiences so here we are, visiting Rhodell's again. Emily and I decided to drop in on a day full of plans going awry. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon and it was a bit less busy than I expected but the line at the bar was short. The bartender that was working has been there for a long time and has always provided excellent service. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for so I sampled their Midwest Wheat and decided to order that. Emily got the Strawberry Blonde and I also snagged a sticker for $3. Since this was a bit of an impromptu visit, I wasn't super in focus on reviewing it for this blog so bear with me on that since I was just wanting a beer and to chit-chat. We snagged our usual seat next to the door leading out to the patio and talked life. I won't bore you with those details but while we were sipping our beers, a group of young'uns came in (god, I sound old) wearing shirts with extreme sexual innuendo. It was hard to not try and read their shirts and laugh out loud but we eventually did get to read them all and they were all great. I haven't really explored much of the interior or patio area due to it always being busy and I don't want to disrupt others just to look around/take photos. But the one thing that sticks out to me is the lack of the giant creepy kilt wearing guy from the old location. I don't know the history of it but it was such a striking thing to encounter and I think it may be a thing of the past? I would love to know what the deal with that thing is. Since I've been here a few times, I've tried: blueberry cream ale, american wheat, strawberry blonde lager, wild berry sour and various other seasonal beers. The blueberry cream ale is one I am especially fond of. I'm not sure which beers are seasonal and which are part of their repertoire so check their Facebook page to see what's currently on tap. There were some pizza signs around the bar so I do think they need food if you need something for the beer to wash down, but don't fully quote me on that. Rhodells is the staple brewery in Peoria. I can't imagine Peoria without it. So, if you are in 'whiskey capital of the world' and need a delicious local beer, Rhodells is the place to go.Pour me another one, cap'n.
