Live, from Peoria Heights, it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, The Publik House with special guest star, Moon and featuring, Natalie, Erin, Corri, Monika and Chelzey.
Now please welcome, from Restaurant Row in Peoria Heights, tonight’s host, The Publik House!
Here we are at the Publik House on what’s known as “Restaurant Row” in Peoria Heights. I love the neon Guiness sign in the window. It’s the only one in Peoria that I know of!
Okay, let’s go in and begin our Saturday night dining adventure!
Usually I’d try and find a place at the bar, but I see a familiar face over in that booth…
It’s my friend, Moon a.k.a. Jeff Stokowski! Moon and I have been friends since high school and his wife Chris was out of town, so I asked him to be tonight’s special guest star! Great to see him as always!
Natalie was our pretty and friendly waitress and here she is delivering us a couple of beers. She took our dinner order and that’s my cue to take some photos in here with the MBIP Camera!
I love this drawing of downtown Peoria on the back wall.
Here’s two shots of both ends of the classic, polished wooden bar in here.
And of course you have to get a photo of the spectacular mermaids on the bar, it’s just the rules!
There’s tables opposite the bar to sit and dine at and comfortable leather booths line the far wall.
Travis Goff, who owns Publik House, started off working for Mike “Sully” Sullivan and there’s a beautiful portrait of him hanging on the wall. What a wonderful tribute to a legendary Peorian!
Over by the host station, I got a photo of four of the cute and friendly women working this Saturday night. They are from left: The aforementioned Natalie, Erin, Corri and Monika. It was fabulous to meet all of you!
When I returned to our booth, dinner has been served! Perfect timing!
Moon got the Publik Reuben sandwich with Bacon and Blue Fries. I got an order of the Guinness Buffalo Wings and their award winning Mac-n-Cheese.
It all looks incredible!
Chezley delivered me another beer while flashing a beautiful smile our way! Everybody here is so friendly and hospitable, it really adds to the fun atmosphere in here.
There’s Moon digging in to his Bacon and Blue Fries. He said they were delicious and that the Publik Reuben is his favorite Reuben sandwich in Peoria!
The chicken wings in here are always fabulous and these Guiness Buffalo Wings were so juicy and tasty. Just the right amount of heat and zing and I loved them!
The Publik House Mac-n-Cheese is a meal unto itself! It’s elbow macaroni in a smoky, cheddar cheese sauce, with bacon and topped with crushed, toasted Ritz crackers. It’s borderline decadent and a delightful and rich dinner treat!
For dessert, Natalie brought me a delicious Chocolate Martini! What a fabulous meal and evening at The Publik House!
Thanks to Moon for joining me and thanks to Natalie and everyone at The Publik House for the wonderful service, tasty food and the nice hospitality!
