A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 93: The Pour House

by MBIP


The Pour House is a nice, neighborhood bar on Willow Knolls Drive and it’s just a few minutes drive from the MBIP World Headquarters.

Here, I’ll show you, let’s head on out of here and…

Bar Number 93: The Pour House, Monday, April 13, 2026

…Baboom, here we are at the Pour House! I told you it was just a few minutes journey over here!

As I noted last night, I hate the fact that it’s still light out at this time in the evening. We’ll get a darker night shot on our way out of here later.

For now, let’s go inside and start our 93rd night out on the town!

They have a nice bar in here and there’s a seat down here at the end that we can settle in to for the evening.

Matt was the friendly bartender on duty for the evening and here he is serving me up an ice-cold bottle of Budweiser.

Matt said he follows the blog and told me that we have a mutual friend in Phenomenal Phil Raso! And now we must break into this song!

Elsa was seated nearby me at the bar and she works nearby at Khaki Jack’s, which was our 23rd stop of this tour.

Elsa moved here about six months ago from Springfield. Welcome to Peoria, Elsa, great to meet and chat with you!

As you can see, this is a well stocked bar and there’s the four beers on tap behind the bar.

Here’s a shot from the other side of the bar, there’s the daily drink specials and there’s two state-of-the-art dartboards opposite the bar over here.

There’s tables and comfortable chairs directly behind the bar and gaming machines line the wall.

I love the lit-up bottles on display on the back wall.

Geoff and Brandon were playing the Golden Tee machine over here and Brandon wanted to say hi to MBIP Pal, Contributor and Wheelman, Scott Turley.

He said Scott watched him grow up and so hi to Scott from Brandon!

Angie’s a bartender at the Last Chance Bar Bar & Grill and she came in here for a little off duty fun. Great to see her at the bar!

The Last Chance is going to be a stop on this tour, so hopefully we’ll see Angie when we visit that fine bar and grill!

Happy Hour happens Monday through Friday in here between three and five in the afternoon.

Here’s one last shot of the bar from this angle.

And here’s that night time shot of the Pour House I promised you earlier. It’s always nice when the sun goes down and sweet darkness fills the skies!

We’ll see you all tomorrow!

The Drinks

I had two bottles of Budweiser and a Michelob Ultra Zero and they were very satisfying drinks!
