Customer Reviews
L A Connection has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 128 reviews on Google
The place with personality! A great place to meet, hangout with friends and meet new ones. They have the popular Harold’s Chicken #41 as one of their offsite locations. Food, fun, fellowship, music and drinks, what more could you ask for. Stop by and you might just meet the owners L.A and Linda and come to understand the meaning behind their motto-A Place with Personality- they are the real deal. Tell them you read this amazing review!!!
Nina is an awesome bartender! $10 minimum for credit transactions is a bit stiff though. Also had random gentleman ask me for food in the parking lot but can't necessarily blame that on the bar.
LA's is a staple of the nostalgic Peoria local bar scene, I first went therw for my 21'st BDay, the weekend crowd varies & age ranges of all groups , Great Bartenders and strong drinks , If your lucky Mrs. Linda (The Owner ) will be behind the bar making drinks with her warm hometown smile ! The house DJ will keep you vibing to good music all night all night .. See you real soon !
It's cozy, a nice lil hole in the wall. I am comfortable there. People are friendly music laid back. It's pretty cool
I saw people I hadn't seen in a long time. I enjoy myself everytime. The music is always great.
Had a really nice time. It was my first time there and enjoyed every minute of it
It was brought to my attention by my 17 year old daughter that her and her friend are allowed to go into this bar at any time and they both gets there no questions asked
