It’s Saturday night and we’re headed over the river and through the woods to East Peoria to have dinner and drinks at the Fifth Quarter Sports Bar and Pizzeria.
And so, away we go!

Saturday Night Dinner
Here we are at the Fifth Quarter in East Peoria.
Hey, check out the sign, how did they know we were coming? And they even know that they’re the 121st bar of this tour! Amazing!
Check out the spacious beer patio in front!
Let’s go in and see what’s happening inside.
Wow, we’re even mentioned on the inside sign, nice!
They have a good crowd in here and I see a couple of familiar faces over at that table in the corner…
It’s my friends and frequent guest stars, Amber and Joe!
They’re looking fabulous, as always and it’s always fun to hang out with them for the evening!
As you can see, they have a large menu and we checked it out and decided on what to order for our Saturday night dinner.
Just as we decided on what to order, our pretty waitress Michelle showed up with a bottle of Budweiser and took our dinner order.
I love it when things work out like this!
We started off with an appetizer order of the sweet-chili chicken wings and they were plump, juicy and delicious!
There’s Amber and Joe enjoying them.
This is a spacious place in here.
There’s another dining room over on this side and the walls are covered with posters, sports memorabilia and giganzo TV screens.
Meanwhile, back at our table…
Our Saturday night dinner has arrived!
The Fifth Quarter is known for their homemade pizza, so we decided to split a lovely cheese pizza between the three of us.
They also make their own hot sauce and I’m anxious to try that out, so let’s dig in!
The pizza was fantastic! I also loved the homemade hot sauce which complimented the rich and tasty pizza perfectly!
That was a fabulous dinner and now it’s time to hit the bar!

Bar Number 121: The Fifth Quarter Sports Bar & Pizzeria, Saturday, May 16, 2026
The bar was completely full when we arrived, but it’s cleared out now, so we’re going to grab those last three chairs and settle in for a couple of after-dinner drinks.
There’s Joe and Amber all settled in at bar number 121!
Laura was the lovely bartender on duty and here she is serving me up yet another bottle of Budweiser with a pretty smile!
As you can see, it’s a well-stocked bar with several TV sets showing different sports programs.
There’s the eight beers on tap behind the bar.
There’s gaming machines opposite the bar and the daily specials are displayed on this wall over here.
Here’s a parting shot of the bar in the Fifth Quarter.
Thanks to Michelle, Laura and everyone at the Fifth Quarter for a delicious Saturday night dinner and the wonderful service and hospitality.
And thanks to Amber and Joe for joining me for the evening, it’s always fun to have them along as the special guest stars!
