Live, from Peoria, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, Kelleher’s Irish Pub & Eatery with special guest stars, Caiden, Amber, Joe, Lizzie and Pat!
Now, please welcome, from beautiful downtown Peoria, this week’s host, Kelleher’s Irish Pub & Eatery!
Here we are at Kelleher’s Irish Pub & Eatery on Water Street. I love all the lights on display outside, let’s go in and start this week’s Saturday night in downtown Peoria.
Caiden was working the door and he led us inside.
Normally I’d sit at the bar in here, but we have two special guest stars tonight, so we chose a table inside of the dining room opposite the bar.
And the two specail guest stars for the evening are…
My friends, Amber and Joe!
They’re both looking fabulous and it’s always fun to hang out with them on a Saturday evening!
Lizzie was our friendly and pretty server and here she is delivering me a bottle of Budweiser. I love it when this happens.
We checked out the dinner menu and Lizzie took our orders for our Saturday night meal.
The owner of Kelleher’s, Pat Sullivan stopped by our table to say hi.
Pat’s a friendly guy and it’s always great to see him. He told us to check out the Halloween area in the back and we’ll definitely be stopping by there soon, keep on scrolling!
We started off with an appetizer order of the Sweet Chili Wings and they were a tasty treat and a wonderful start to our Saturday night dinner.
There’s Amber and Joe enjoying the wings. Now it’s time for me to abandon them and take some photos in here while our dinner is being prepared. Hey, it’s what I do!
There’s another shot of the bar up in the front of the room. As you can see, they have a nice selection of beers on tap in two different areas on the bar.
The back of the room is decorated for Halloween and is called the, “Cauldrons and Cocktails Room.” They bill it as a “Halloween Hideaway.”
It’s a spooky and spectacular room and you should definitely check it out. There’s a whole menu of Halloween inspired food and drinks to be had back here.
Meanwhile, back in the dining room at our table…
Our Saturday night dinner is being served up!
From the top: Amber had the Irish Sampler which has a cup of Shepherd’s Pie, an Irish Coddle and a Chicken Hot Pot, Joe got a Fish Sandwich with Waffle Fries and I chose the Maple Bacon Swiss Chicken Sandwich with Waffle Fries.
Everything looks absolutely fabulous, time to dig into our Saturday night meals!
Amber and Joe said that their food was fantastic and here they are enjoying their Saturday night dinners at Kelleher’s.
My Maple Bacon Swiss Chicken Sandwich was huge, so I thought I’d ease into it and start with one of the waffle fries.
Somehow I managed to pick up this giant sandwich with one hand and take a picture of it, in all of its glory!
This was a giant chicken thigh, breaded and cooked to perfection and it was topped with maple aioli, a creamy and rich Swiss cheese sauce, strips of smoky bacon and served on a bakery fresh brioche bun.
This was such a flavorful and delicious sandwich and I highly recommend it!
Thanks to Caiden, Lizzie, Pat and everyone at Kelleher’s for a wonderful and delicious Saturday evening in downtown Peoria.
And thanks to Amber and Joe for joining me on this fun Saturday evening, always a blast to have them along as the special guest stars!
