There’s three Crusens bars in and around Peoria and eventually we’ll hit all three.

Tonight we’re traveling to the Crusens on Farmington Road, so let’s get over there!

Bar Number 111: Crusens On Farmington Road, Monday, May 4, 2026

Here we are at Crusens on Farmington Road. We’ll get a better shot at night when we leave, let’s go in and see what’s shaking in here.

The bar is fairly crowded for a Monday night, but there’s a seat here at the end with my name on it. Let’s snag it and get settled in for the evening.

Melina was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and she served me up a Bud Light tallboy with a beautiful smile.

Melina said she’s been following the bar crawl journey and was hoping I’d stop in to Crusens and that was nice to hear! She’s been working here a few years and we had a nice chat about Crusens, Peoria and life in general! We’re off to a wonderful evening in here!

Here’s the view of the bar from where I’m perched.

Zach was the other friendly bartender on duty and he took a photo of the taps behind the bar. Thanks, Zach, great photo!

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

This is the stage where the live music happens here. We saw The Mountain Goats here last October, which was part of the annual Amber Birthday Extravaganza!

There’s a large dining area opposite the bar in here.

There’s an elevated dining area over here next to the far wall with more tables and chairs.

There’s a gaming area over here in this corner with a Family Guy pinball machine and gaming machines if you’re feeling lucky. Well, do ya, punk?

They have a nice outside beer garden with a large bar and tables next to it on the patio out here. A perfect place for a cold beer on a warm summer night!
