A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 151: Driftwood Pourhouse

by MBIP


There’s a bar in the East Peoria Stoney Creek hotel, that looks more like it belongs in a hunting lodge.

And since we’re hunting for bars, that’s tonight’s destination! What a smooth transition!

Bar Number 151: Driftwood Pourhouse, Monday, June 29, 2026

Here we are at the Stoney Creek hotel in East Peoria.

As we enter the first thing you see is the lobby and the stoned desk. This place has a combination hunting lodge/Flintstones feel to it! Wiiiilmaaaa!

As I walked towards the bar area I looked upwards and immediately thought, “Oh deer!”

Okay, here’s the wooden lounge area and in the back is…

The hightly polished, wooden bar!

Let’s snag a seat and get settled in here for this evening!

Here’s the friendly bartender on duty serving me up a bottle of Bud Light. I forgot to write his name down, so we’ll just call him, “Bart.” Bart said he’s worked here for eight years, great to meet him!

There’s the back of the bar and as you can see it’s very well-stocked.

Here’s two photos of both ends of the polished wooden bar in here.

Even the ceiling is wooden in here! I think this is the most wood in a bar we’ve seen so far on this 365 tour. Woodn’t you agree?

There’s tables behind the bar and they line the walls in here.

Here’s a parting shot from the back of the “wood is good” room!

The Drinks

I had two refreshing bottles of Bud Light in this wooden paradise!
