A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 63: W.E. Sullivan’s — Meanwhile, Back In Peoria... I went to W.E. Sullivan’s on their opening night back in December of 2016 . Now on this day in March of 2026, almost ten years later, I’m heading for my last lunch and blog from W.E. Sullivan’s o...

W.E. Sullivan’s is moving out of their current location on April 18th. So I went last Friday and had a last lunch there with my friend, Tricia. I’m anxious to see where the new location is going to be! tinyurl.com/fjuhj624 #Peoria #MBIP #365Bars

I went to Refuel bar in Hanna City with my friend Jim for the 62nd bar in our 365 journey. This is a cool place with multiple bars in a unique building that used to be a gas station. Hence the name: “Refuel.” tinyurl.com/4rrabuwv #MBIP #365Bars #Peoria
