Met the owner on 5/4/26. He seems like a decent enough fella. The bartenders are all women and seem like angry lesbians. Not cool and not worth tipping. I also made 3 new friends on my visit 5/4/26. One fella, Aaron, even bought me a shot of Crown. He was a cool dude until he was losing his broke ass. Little shit thought he was impressive and doesn't care what anyone thinks. I was embarrassed for him when he was drunk and started hitting on this fellow gambler, she wasn't in his league and I guess he was looking for condolences on losing. Sad. Man up sweet cheeks! The other two new friends, Chris and David were fun and great guys. I would enjoy hanging around with them drinking, playing shuffleboard, darts and pool. Thanks gentlemen Even you Aaron, you big dummy!Thanks for the shot of KKKRown! Recommend Crawfords Corner two blocks up the lesbian gambler dive. Crawfords Corner has great food, friendly bartenders and the owner is a hometown legend giving back to the community. PS- Court went splendidly #fudebbie https://share.google/1gGR5EFD7ahgPo4Hz

They are pretty typically slots compared to other bars but one was obviously not working with the graphics on the screen very hard to see. They should strongly consider putting an out of order sign on the machine. Service at the bar was friendly and the drinks were good. My only complaint would be the wine glasses were shot plastic cups, similar to what you would find in a hotel room. It doesn't seem like a biggie, but having wine glasses for the wine would be a good investment.

It's $34/hour for a lane and for three people, we were able to get two games in, so, about $5.67 per game. Not terrible! We went at 1pm on a Sunday and the place was so big that we had no problem getting a lane, which is nice when you don't have to wait. You can choose between glow or normal bowling, and the folks at the counter and bar were all very nice. I also saw someone cleaning the tables each time a party left, that's awesome! So clean!

For being so outdated and not wanting outside drinks brought in but not offering any beverages us single adults go for, the gorgeous sights our second half of nine spawned a completely different take on this course. I was unprepared for the rolling tree framed vista enough to make any Midwesterner boasting of their backyard blush. I am still new to this silly real estate discussion disguised as a sport however it began to grow on me being able to slow down and take in the scenes. We did time our outing perfectly, right off a week of excessive rain, everything was brilliantly green and putting through golden hour helped us ignore the amateur arrangement of this setup. I'm sure this is near the bottom of options for professionals and sorely needs to fix those eye sores along with enhancing their drink options to happily treat more appetites. But try Fairlakes with low expectations! The pleasant surprise will feel right, you'll find a simple and enticing course, an easy going and friendly staff that's clean of any smug golf attitude, and fair prices to give beginners like me a good chance.

Jonah's Seafood House in Peoria is a wonderful riverside seafood restaurant. The Oyster Bar, and…read moreMarket & Bake Shop next door, are interesting places as well, but this is the crown jewel. The service was second to none, from the hostess/manager Angie, to my delightful waitress Macy. The view of the Illinois River augmented a warm but comfortably rustic setting. I started with an Espresso Martini -- 360 Vanilla, Kahlua, Tia, Espresso & Cream with three delicious coffee beans on top. The cocktail was remarkably flavorful and I am a coffee martini enthusiast. For an appetizer I indulged myself and ordered a staple of any high-end seafood restaurant; Oysters Rockefeller baked in the half-shell. This traditional mainstay was absolutely perfectly cooked with the added twist of bacon. (Everything is better with bacon). The main attraction outdid it all: South African Lobster Tail with a half pound of Alaskan King Crab Legs. I'll let the pictures speak for this dish: I LOVED IT!!!!! For dessert I had another libation -- a Milk Chocolate Martini 360 Vanilla, Dark Crème De Cacao, and Cream.

So, how this place works is that they run your card and they give it back to you but you also get this other card so you can run the taps. This place is absolutely great to try out brand new drinks that you've never tried before. There's at least 20 drinks to choose from give or take. They had a lot of hard cider, meads, hard seltzers and a variety of other drinks. They had other drinks as well up front even some non-alcoholic ones for those that really didn't plan on drinking. They got a great array of games here especially all the pinball! I didn't play any of the games unfortunately but I did look around to see what was featured. I would have been really excited if Speed Demon was featured. Staff here was absolutely friendly, they get a great mix of locals here. Restrooms here were also pretty clean too! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. This place has great events as well!

Had to stop in this bar and grill in Pontiac after seeing the prices are cheap. It has about what…read moreyou can expect. The Backstretch has an auto racing kind of theme. Lots of TVs tuned into various games. You can get pretty strong drinks and food that's better than it looks. Certainly there's a greasy feeling about it. It's not exactly the cleanest or nicest but it's better than a whole lot of other places in town to go to. This mostly gets crowded on weekends. Actually it's never too crowded. There's happy hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $7 for most appetizers. The Giant Pretzel is great for sharing. Comes with a beer cheese or something else. The rest of the menu includes things like fish sandwiches. Good place to watch games. It's one of the few places around here that's open on Sundays. That makes sense because races are usually on the weekends.

I heard some good things about the pizza they serve so I figured I would give it a shot for myself. I placed a carry out order over the phone and was told it would be 20 minutes. The place wasn't that busy when I arrived, and it looked just like I remembered. There were two employees working and I spoke with both. They were both very friendly and my pizza was ready as promised. The crust was about par for the course around here. Not much taste outside of flour. The sauce was decent, and the toppings were plentiful. The cheese is the type mozzarella that turns a bit rubbery, but I must admit, I like that. All in all, I enjoyed the pizza, and the service was friendly. Was it my favorite pizza in Pontiac? No. But, I wouldn't hesitate to come back.
