The Trolley is a classic Peoria bar, that’s been standing tall in the same location for as long as I can remember. In addition to serving up spectacular drinks, they also have a full menu of fantastic food items from their kitchen.
So I thought we’d go there today and have lunch with a special guest star, who you’ll meet if you keep on scrolling downwards as we start our visit to our 101st bar on this 365 tour!

Bar Number 101: The Trolley, Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Here we are at The Trolley on Farmington Road in West Peoria.
Check out the convertible in the parking lot, it’s top-down weather out here and I’m glad the rotten winter is finally over. Let’s go inside and see what’s happening in there.
There’s a nice crowd in here and I think I see our special luncheon guest star seated over there on the side…
It’s my friend, Michelle, who’s looking fabulous as always!
Michelle was our special guest star on the very first stop on our 365 tour at Mike’s Tavern! It’s great to see her again a hundred bars later!
Gina was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up an ice-cold can of Budweiser. She then took our luncheon order and things are moving along nicely in here!
There’s the six beers on tap behind the bar.
As I looked across the bar, I saw a couple of familiar faces over there, it’s my friends Ed and Sue! Always great to see them and catch up on things.
And it turns out that the convertible I took a photo of in the parking lot is their car! It’s nice when things come full circle like this!
There’s a large dining area behind the bar and they have two pool tables in the room opposite the dining room.
Gaming machines line the far back wall and here’s a shot from the back of the dining room.
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Lunch is served!
Michelle and I split an order of the fried ravioli and Buffalo chicken wings and the food was delicious.
After lunch, Gina took a photo of myself and Michelle!
Thanks to Gina for the great service and thanks to Michelle for meeting me for lunch a hundred bars after our last get together!

The Drinks
I had a can of Budweiser and two iced teas which I forgot to take a picture of.
