I’ve never been to Banner, Illinois, in fact up until a little bit ago, I’ve never even heard of Banner, Illinois.
Well, while doing searches for bars near Peoria, a bar called, The Goose Pit, popped up. It’s located in Banner, Illinois. And so, tonight, we travel to Banner, Illinois to The Goose Pit Bar.
See how this works?

Bar Number 208: The Goose Pit, Monday, September 7, 2026
Here we are at The Goose Pit bar in Banner, Illinois! They have homemade tenderloins and all you can eat chicken & fish on Fridays.
Plus there’s a giganzo rooster over here, who could ask for anything more?
Let’s go inside and see what’s happening on this fine evening in Banner, Illinois!
There’s the bar and I see a seat on the far side over there, let’s grab it and get settled in for the evening.
Mindy was the friendly and pretty bartender on duty and here she is bringing me an ice-cold can of Budweiser. We’re off to a nice start in here!
There’s a shot of the bar where I’m seated, the can of Bud marks my spot!
True to the name Goose Pit, there’s ceramic geese above the bar and the cooler has a nice supply of beverages in it!
There’s two mini bar stations behind the front bar.
They have a full menu here and there’s a large dining room behind the bar.
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Jennie, who owns the bar with her brother came over and said hi and then posed behind the bar with Mindy. This is really a friendly place!
The wooden ceilings and walls and that deer skull on the wall gives the place a little bit of a hunting lodge ambiance.
There’s some geese art on the wall and a sign to remind you that this is indeed the Goose Pit!
You’re welcome, Goose Pit and thank you for a nice evening in Banner, Illinois!
