The Olympia Sports Bar + Grill opened up in Pioneer Park in January of 2018 and here’s a link to the very first MBIP post from there. I can’t believe that was six years ago! Like I always say, “fun flies when you’re having time!”
I haven’t stopped out there for a while, so I thought it was the perfect place to spotlight for this week’s MBIPTGIF Happy Hour and so, just like Jackie Gleason, awaaay we go!
Here we are at the Olympia Sports Bar + Grill.
The patio area and picnic tables are all set up for outside dining and drinking, but it’s too bright out here for me, let’s go inside and see what’s happening.
There’s a Happy Hour sign already, but it’s a little early in this post to bring that up yet, we still need to look around a little before we get into that!
I love the chalk art that greets you as you come inside. It’s done by Devin McGlone, Peoria’s chalk art master! We’ll show a cool mural of his soon, keep on scrolling!
There’s Olympia t-shirts for sale if you are so inclined.
I think they have the biggest bar in Peoria over there!
It’s very impressive and I see a familiar face behind the bar…
It’s Paul Lagouros who owns the place along with his brother, Andrew!
He said business has been good and we both were amazed when we realized that they have been open over six years now!
Paul said to feel free to wander around and snap some photos and so that’s exactly what we’re going to do!
As I mentioned, this is one of the largest bars in town, it takes three photos to capture the whole thing!
There’s tables opposite the bar and up in the front window.
There’s two dart machines and a discreet gaming room opposite them if you’re feeling lucky.
There’s a nice, large dining room in the back and a large communal table over here to the side of the room.
Speaking of dining, I didn’t eat here today, but here’s some photos of their delicious food they serve up in here from their website and facecrack page. Check out the diverse menu here.
As I mentioned in the beginning, there’s a cool mural in the back conference room back here by Devin McGlone. Fabulous work, Devin!
