It’s Saturday night and we’re up to our 50th bar of this 365 tour.

I thought for this somewhat landmark evening, we’d head over to one of my favorite Peoria places that just happens to have a bar in the front of their place of business, Agatucci’s Restaurant!

And away we go!

Bar Number 50: Agatucci’s Restaurant, Saturday, February 28, 2026

Here we are at Agatucci’s Restaurant. Whoops, a light’s out on the sign, let me fix that for you!

Okay, now that that’s all fixed up, let’s go inside and start our 50th night of this 365 tour!

There’s the bar at Agatucci’s that I’ve sat at many times, let’s go snag a seat and get settled in for this 50th evening at a bar.

Here’s the owners of Agatucci’s, Tony and Danny, always great to see them and this is Agatucci’s 100th year in business! Happy birthday to you!

Dave and Mark were seated next to me and Dave said he’s a fan of the MBIP blog! I always love to hear that and it’s great to meet both of them!

The bar is lit up with overhead Italian lights, there’s the Michelob light lamp and the classic Hamm’s beer sign behind the bar.

They have five beers on tap at three different stations behind the bar.

There’s the dining room behind the bar with the wine bottle chandeliers hanging overhead. And this Budweiser sign notes that this is a Cardinal’s place! Cub fan’s take notice!

There’s the infamous backwards Agatucci’s clock and we got noted on the sign over here. Nice!

Meanwhile, back at the bar…

Bartenders, Justin and AJ were finishing up their dinners. Both of them are Bradley students and bartend here in the evening. Great to meet both of them.

Speaking of dinner…here’s Tony delivering me my Saturday night dinner, a lovely cheese pizza, just for me! Hey, didn’t we just do this yesterday?

The pizza was delicious, as always! Agatucci’s is the best pizza in Peoria!

There’s Tony and Danny wishing us a happy 50th bar evening! Thanks, guys, always great to see you and it’s an honor to have Agatucci’s as the 50th bar in this tour!
