Tonight we’re headed to Tremont, Illinois to visit one of my favorite places in that town, Perdue’s Grill!

We’re meeting a special guest star there and so the next stop is, Tremont, Illinois!

Bar Number 106: Perdue’s Grill, Tuesday, April 28, 2026

And baboom! Here we are in Tremont, Illinois and there’s Perdue’s Grill! As I’ve said repeatedly, the only thing I hate about this time of year is that it stays light so late! I’ll try to remember to get a night shot when we leave later.

For now, let’s go in and see what’s happening inside of Perdue’s!

There’s the impressive bar in here and I think I see tonight’s special guest star sitting over there…

It’s my friend, Tricia and it’s always a pleasure to see her and hang out with her.

Tricia’s an author, who’s pen name is P.A. Nimmo. You can check out her three books she’s written by clicking on these links: Running Blind In Traffic, Diary of a Mad White Woman and Tails of the Cat and the Bookstore.

Tricia’s also going to be signing and selling books at the Tails of a Bookworm store on Saturday May 9th during their Seven Year Anniversary Celebration.

Meghan was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up a Bud tallboy!

They have eight beers on tap in two different locations at the bar.

There’s a nice supply of beverages back here in this cooler behind the bar.

Here’s a shot of the bar from the other end of the room.

There’s dining tables opposite the bar lined up against the far wall and a large chalkboard lists the Burger of the Week and other food specials.

Perdue’s Grill was established in 2010 marking 16 years in business, cheers to at least 16 more!

There’s a dining room over here and a section of the back wall is a tribute to Elvis Presley. Thank ya…thank ya very much!

And there’s yet another room over here with more tables and gaming machines.

Meanwhile, back at the bar…

There’s an appetizer order of Duck Bacon Wontons with house-made dipping sauce. The food here is exceptional and these Wontons were no exception to that rule! They were a crispy and delicious treat!
