There are so many breweries, taprooms bars around the valley. Whatever you choose to all them…read morethere's definitely a chance you'll find one you love or have. We stopped on our way to check this spot out since we didn't know when we'd be in the area again. You won't find food at Cactus Taproom so if you're looking for a glass of whine, beer or a little of both this may be your spot. What caught my eye was they offer flights. I love flights because you get to try a little of quite a few to see what you like or don't. When we pulled into the lot I was surprised at how small it is. There is a bar of course, a handful of high top tables and a small patio. The place was packed. We somehow managed to snag the last available table. It was full of definite locals as many seemed familiar with each other. There was one man running the bar and though very busy he was friendly, patient and no one seemed to be having to wait long for drinks. The place was clean. I thought it was cool that they offered many fridges of different beers etc to purchase and take home or of course drink while there. If you read my reviews I love sour beers and this is part of why we came here. I tried both they had on tap and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. We will have to come back and maybe try a few in the fridge section. I didn't want to try anything else and risk mixing wine etc. good local spot of just wanted to have a few drinks alone or with friends.

It seems every time we have gone in, more and more skin gets exposed. Yeah, I'm old fashioned, but if you want a 'classy' place, which the interior is, put something on your staff besides string tank tops and skin tight jeans or shorts . Heck, even gyms don't allow that sort of stuff. Come on. Peoria needs a classy casual place, not a peep show! Don't expect us to come back. What a disappointment.

I did find that odd, but now I understand. I would still rather see food served, variations of finger food would be great. Loss of star, no food. Suggestions, maybe even little quick.Mini microwave pizzas or something along those lines right. Overall what a fun fun place. I went to cheer on a friend of mine for karaoke, and I had the best time. This, I cannot stress enough because I recently lost my husband and everyone there made me feel so so good. The atmosphere is just overall smiles. Honestly, I cannot wait to go back.

Walking into this place feels like stepping into your own neighborhood version of Cheers--the kind…read moreof spot where the bartenders actually know your name, your drink, and probably your story too. There's a genuine, laid-back energy here that you just can't fake, and it makes every visit feel like you're hanging out with friends rather than just grabbing a beer. A huge part of that comes from the people. Tiffany, the owner, has clearly built something special here--there's intention behind everything, and it shows. Deidra behind the bar is always attentive, on top of it, and great to talk to--she makes you feel taken care of without ever being over the top. And then there's Kyle...absolute character in the best way. The kind of bartender that brings personality to the place and makes every visit a little more memorable. The beer lineup is outstanding. Their in-house brews are dialed in, and if you know craft beer, you'll appreciate seeing things like Drekker sours on the guest tap list--hard to find and always a hit. And their Trick of the Light IPA from Throne? Absolute standout--crisp, balanced, and dangerously easy to keep going back for another. The food deserves just as much attention. The burgers are legit--juicy, flavorful, and cooked right every time. The sliders are perfect if you want to mix and match or just not commit to one thing, and the onion rings are next level--crispy, golden, and honestly some of the best you'll find anywhere. What really sets this place apart, though, is how unique it is to the area. It's not just another brewery--it's a true community spot. Places like this are rare, and they only stick around if people show up and support them. If you appreciate great beer, great food, and even better people, this is one of those spots you want to keep coming back to.

We split sampler appetizer of pretzel, fried pickles, and onion rings. The portion was ample. I split the spicy burger which had cheese and roasted chilis on brioche bread, the beef patty was quite hearty and flavorful. Others in our party had burgers on pretzel bread and selected garlic Parmesan fries. We had a Mexican lager beer which was light. You can select up to two tastings, burgers come on pretzel or brioche bread and different flavors of French fries to choose from. The place was lively and we would definitely return.

They even have a crisp fresh Caesar salad that I love getting there. What I like about the service is how chill it is. You just come in and find an open table, seat yourself and then they come over and serve you. They have trivia nights where you can play trivia with your table (each table is a group or team).
