Friendly Valley Tavern

We went around lunch for cozy, intimate vibes. This place delivered. The nostalgic decor was properly decorated and festive. The bartender was incredibly nice and attentive. We just had butches pizza but the beer was cold served in huge frosty mugs. It was perfect for our afternoon

What a hidden gem! This place is the best. The bartender, Brian, was super laid back and easy to talk to. He made us feel like one of the regulars even though it was our first time there. This place has bands, volleyball, food trucks, a back deck, a fire pit, and even a couple of disc golf baskets. I would make the 2 hour trip just to come back here and have a couple beers.

Hidden in the middle of Peoria, a great place to spend an afternoon. You can sit inside or outdoors, great atmosphere. Many activities, live music, volleyball, and dogs are allowed. Whenever you have a chance, stop in and enjoy.

If you come for the outdoor venue and the music or sand volleyball you will come back. If you come for the quansi hut bar and the gaming you will come back. They have a lot of room for parking but you will still see cars up and down both sides of the street several days a week during the summer and even though they are going to be elbow to elbow at times there's always room for one more. You are not going to be standing around waiting for beers and drinks because they have some real talent behind the bar and it shows. Two thumbs up from this guy.

We have been wanting to visit this awesome little spot for quite a while. It just looks like such a cool place! My only regret is that we haven't been coming here before now. We did however stop on a great day! They had a maker's market out back, food trucks and live music which was incredible. Very nice people, dog-friendly & laid back... we really enjoyed our time inside watching football and outside listening to music. The bartender inside was really fun to talk to and she knew her shit! Loved it, loved everything about it. We will absolutely make the trip again to go, especially for the Summer concerts.

Great place to go. The name says it all. Bonfire outside. If you want to have a drink outside. Pizza is available if you get hungry. If you don't like large crowds. It's where you want to be.

Live music in the valley on Saturday nights are the best! Highly recommend coming out and having some fun! Owner is a great guy too!
