The Fieldhouse Bar & Grill

Our waitress was terrible. She was so incredible slow. I order a captain and coke and by the time she brought it to me it had already tasted like it was watered down from the ice. We got the double dipper appetizer. The chips were extremely stale. The only good part of this whole experience was the food. I got the margarita pizza which was really good. My boyfriend made his own burger and said it was very good. The food came out on paper plates which was weird.

I randomly started going here. Huge craft beer selection on tap. Great specials. Great staff. Clean. Good food and fair menu prices. Favorite place to get a few beers and grab a sandwich in Peoria now.

Came here last night with my girlfriend. I ordered the Blueberry Blonde Ale and she ordered the Woodchuck cider. Isn’t she adventurous? The Blueberry Blonde ale smelled better than it tasted. It smelled like I just opened a fresh drum of blueberries from HyVee. It tasted like a vaguely floral/​hoppier Fat Tire.
We also got chips and salsa and the salsa was spicier than any Mexican joint I’ve ever had, so I don’t really know what that was about. We were chugging our beers because it was so unexpectedly spicy. I like spicy stuff as much as the next guy, but I gotta be in the mood for it.
Also slightly expensive for a college joint. Four stars.

We had a large group & they accommodated us in the back room. Order was taken & it took them awhile to get our food out. Grilled chicken sandwich was juicy, sweet potato tater tots crisp. They didn’t get drinks refilled in a timely manner so they took 10% off of everyone’s bill. Nice gesture.

Decent craft selection, very good lemon pepper wings, plenty of TVs. What a sports bar should be.

I asked a local to recommend a sports bar to catch a game on tv and they offered up The Fieldhouse. I was staying downtown and this was over near the Bradley campus. I’m very glad I went! The bar itself is on the smaller side for a place so large but I was able to get a seat right away in front of a nice big tv. I was greeted promptly by Lacey (sp) who offered me a list of the craft beers that were available. I was thrilled to see that it wasn’t the usual list of crafts beers you find everywhere. I tried a beer I hadn’t had before based on her recommendation and it didn’t disappoint. The menu is about what I would expect — sports bar food. I ordered a speciality burger with fresh jalapeño and it did not disappoint. It was a good sized burger with homemade chips for $ 9. I definitely feel like I got value for the money I spent tonight. The crowd was an interesting mix — young people getting loaded doing shots (on a Tuesday) and an old guy playing trivia drinking a Diet Coke. These were the extremes. I made some small talk with a few other people and they were very friendly. The service was great. The atmosphere really makes you feel like you’ve been in a place that’s been around for a hundred years even though it’s in a strip mall. It was a rustic, a little bit of a dive (in a good way) and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all sitting in professional attire. I’ll definitely be back. I want to try the wings and fried pickles next time. Thanks for a great experience!

This is my favorite place to go in Peoria for a beer and a sporting event! There are a ton of TVs and you can view them all from the open layouts of both rooms. The waitstaff is outstanding and all very fun as well. The food is top notch, I suggest the chicken philly steak, the Cajun tenderloin, the tenderloin horseshoe and the Irish nachos … There are plenty of other things on the menu. The only semi-​complaints are that they did away with the buffalo shrimp wrap as a menu item and they cycle between what light beers they have on tap (Miller for a few weeks, Bud for a few weeks, etc). My friends and I always choose this venue to celebrate events or just to hang out and get some great food.

It’s bar food. They exist to get you drunk. The money’s made serving liquor. If you’re looking for ok to good food don’t go here. They’re not a food business. Load up on the alcohol if you’re there because you don’t want to only eat there be sick the next day and not have the liquor as an excuse. Now this was just a couple attempts at eating different foods here. High end soda prices for RC products. Give people a premium soda and stick it to the heavy drinkers with that pricing.

Quick delicious lunch stop! I had a grilled chicken wrap with honey mustard. My friend had the same with teriyaki sauce. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was great. I was in and out in an hour with a lot of time to chat. I will be back.

Really great burger. Big and tasty. Wings were good. Crispy and flavorful. Wide beer choices. friendly service. Nice crowd.

So The Fieldhouse is not the place to go for a great meal, it is the option for catching sports, playing trivia, or grabbing a quick cheap lunch.
Highlights of the menu include Pretzel Sticks and Sweet Potato Tatter Tots. Burgers are always pretty solid.
Needing improvement are the service staff and the bartender skills. Mixed drinks are very inconsistent so grab a beer for safety.

A bit slow on the service, but I was in no hurry the 3 times I went. The food was abundant and very tasty for the price and I had lots to take home.

I’ve had lunch at the fieldhouse plenty of times, and I have to say that its one of your better sports bar atmospheres in the area. Multiple TVs, a laid back atmosphere, and all of it coming with great food. I would have to reccomend the loaded quesodilla for an appetizer to get things started. Although it would easily make a meal for one person. I have had multiple burgers from here, and can reccomend the thing among all others if you’re looking for a delicious heart attack! The other burger id reccomend is the pb&b! I gambled with this choice and it paid off!
I know they offer an assortment of special drafts among other beverage specials, however I have never personally ordered a drink there. I certainly intend on eating there more, seeing as service was good as well.

The burgers are always good and I love their cheese fries. Staff is friendly, but I always find myself asking for things I shouldn’t have to ask for like silverware, napkins or a refill.

My wife & I went there on a whim and came away very impressed. I didn’t expect nor did I want a fine dining experience. It’s a college bar and a pretty good one at that. The deep-​fried string beans we had as an appetizer were delicious! My wife had a tenderloin while I, feeling a bit more adventuresome had the peanut butter/​bacon burger. Both items were absolutely first rate! One of the best burgers I’ve had in this area. Service was very prompt and courteous. The name of our waitress escapes me but she was very very good. If I were running a restaurant I’d hire her away in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a place to eat on a football Sunday I’d definitely recommend this place. Good college/​sports bar/​restaurant.

Have been back to fieldhouse dozens of times. I think the food and service has always been great. They are either great at hiring or at training, because all the staff members are excellent. We usually sit outside with our dogs and are given prompt consistent service. Many TVs inside to ensure a good view from any seat.
They have live music some nights in the back and trivia tournaments.
Stop in, but don’t take my seat outside.

The Fieldhouse is the only sports bar near campus, but it just isn’t very good. And, I think it’s getting worse. It smells inside – seriously, like a wet rag. The service is always terrible, and it’s nearly impossible to get them to put on the game that you’d like to watch. We came on a Saturday and asked them to turn one of the TVs onto a college basketball game that was playing on ESPN. We asked five people, including the manager (twice) and it literally took them 29 minutes to change the channel.

I have been to the Fieldhouse several times and every time I have left feeling the same… disappointed.
The food isn’t bad, but its not great and definitely is not worth the price that you pay. Each time my girlfriend and i go, we get a couple sandwiches and a drink and the bill is easily over $ 30. Thats fine, but it had better be a pretty darn good sandwich, which it isn’t. Most of the food you can tell comes frozen. Few things are very good.
The bar is always stocked but twice I have gotten a drink and it tastes like the glass wasn’t washed. I shouldn’t be tasting stale beer in my jack and coke.
Service is usually pretty good, slightly slower before or after Bradley basketball games. Sometimes I do find myself waiting awhile to get a drink or the check because the waitress disappears for 15 minutes. The last time i was there it was very busy, but I had to wait 35 minutes for the check! Definitely Unacceptable.
The crowd is older, despite being right next to campus. Not surprising considering the prices. The inside looks really cool and it is a great place to watch the game.
Overall, I never want to go there, it is always a backup of a backup plan. You just do not get what you are paying for. To the owner: either lower your prices or raise your standards.

It’s a college bar. Lots of TVs and some cheap greasy food. Usually have decent drink specials. Nothing special.

I’ve eaten lunch here several times since they opened. The food is decent.
We recently went in for dinner for the first time and had about an hour to eat before we had to be somewhere and the servers seemed to be doing a lot of talking at the waitress stand rather than coming and taking our order. No one greeted us when we arrived, but the bartender did come over and offer us some drinks after a few minutes.
I think maybe the servers were new and learning the ropes, so hopefully when we come back we won’t have the same problem.
Once ours did take our order, she did a nice job of taking care of us.
