Lakeside Bar & Grill

We love Lakeside. We have HOA social gatherings there and the service and food are always great. I like the tamale plate, my husband loves the sweet chili Asian wings and Cobb salad. Also, the cajun alfredo and meatball marinara sub is amazing. Great beer selection, lots on tap. There's a patio out front and they have heaters when it's cool out and misters when it's warm. Lot's of TVs inside and out and various events like dueling piano's, live music, and Texas holdum. This family friendly establishment has come a long way over the years and in a very good way!

Your average run of the mill sports bar. It is a new location and is clean. Atmosphere is ok, rather small, doesn't take much to fill the joint and if busy on a Friday night you can feel like one of the sardines in the can. Difficult to move about and is rather noisy. Feel more comfortable outside. Definately not a place to take small children. They have a few hi-def TV's, but really doesn't offer much more then that. No games, no pool tables or dart boards. They do have a DJ on Friday nights and karaoke on Wednesdays. Food is average nothing special no signature dishes, kind of pricey. I have never had an issue with the food however. Bartenders seem friendly. Management seems to be non-existent while employees are free to do whatever they want which seems classless to me and takes away potential for good service. Could be managed ALOT better. They can be absolutely dead on some nights and have been known to close up early.



I have serious doubts that this location will last. The newness will wear off and there are currently few options in a growing Northern Peoria. Once more larger locations develop, this one will surely fall my the weighside. Unfortunately I think this one was doomed from the start with such a small pad to work with, unless they knock out a wall or two.
