Live, from Peoria Heights, it’s Saturday Night Cheeseburger starring this week’s host, Clink Bar & Events and featuring special guest stars, Megan, Conner, Sam and musical guests, Harvest Sons.
Now, please welcome this week’s host, Clink Bar & Events!
Here we are at the Heritage Square Shopping Center in Peoria Heights and Clink Bar & Events is up there on the top level.
Let’s climb the stairs and see what’s happening up there.
I love the lit up logo on the brick wall!
Let’s go inside and start this week’s Saturday Night Cheeseburger adventure!
The dining room is about all filled up, but luckily there’s a few seats open at the bar. Let’s go snag one and get settled in on the Saturday evening.
Here’s the view of the back of the bar from where I’m seated.
Megan was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up a drink and she took my cheeseburger order.
They have three different styles of cheeseburgers on the menu and you can see which style I chose if you keep on scrolling!
Conner and Sam were seated nearby me at the bar and they smiled and posed for a photo.
Conner is a local musician who will be performing here on March 23rd with his band Top 4D.
Sam is the founding owner of Clink along with his wife, Traci. He said that things have been going great since they had their grand opening last October.
Great to see both of them!
Happy Hour happens every day here from 4 to 6pm with four dollar draft beers, chicken wings and loaded fries!
There’s a photo of the eight beers on tap along with three drinks that are also on tap behind the bar. Cheers!
Here’s another shot of the dining room, there’s the logo on a plant covered wall next to the bar and there’s a long communal table and a lounge area on the side of the room to have a drink and hang out.
Meanwhile, back at the bar, it looks like our Saturday night cheeseburger is just about to happen!
Whoomp, here it is, this week’s cheeseburger dinner!
I chose the Bacon and Blue Burger with a side of onion rings. The cheeseburger looks amazing!
The onion rings were crispy, seasoned perfectly and were light and tasty. Now on to the star of tonight’s dinner show!
The cheeseburger is made with a port wine reduction, large strips of bacon, caramelized onion, a bordelaise sauce and a melted blue cheese sauce.
I added a healthy dollop of mustard to the mix!
Wow, this is a tasty and delicious cheeseburger!
There are so many flavors happening as you bite into it! The blue cheese sauce has a velvety-rich flavor and is balanced by the smoky bacon and caramelized onions. The burger is cooked and seasoned nicely and the bun is toasted and bakery fresh.
What a fabulous and satisfying cheeseburger!
They feature live music here at Clink and on this evening, they had the Harvest Sons on the sound stage.
These guys sounded great and it was the perfect end to a wonderful evening at Clink Bar & Events!
