A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 188: Trust Me Tavern

by MBIP


Tonight we’re headed to Mossville to visit a bar I haven’t been to since 2024.

That bar is Trust Me Tavern and tonight we’re being joined by and driven to the bar by a special guest. And that special guest will be introduced in just a second if you just keep scrolling on downwards.

Scroll on and I promise you’ll meet him!

Bar Number 188: Trust Me Tavern, Tuesday, August 11, 2026

As promised, here’s tonight’s driver and special guest star, Jason!

Jason’s a friend and a veteran podcaster who started podcasting way back in 2015 on a show called Couch Pilots Podcast. That series wrapped up in 2023 and Jason is currently a co-host on the shows, Yesterdaze and Radio Rewind.

And more importantly, tonight he’s our special guest star and he’s currently driving us to drink at…

Trust Me Tavern in Mossville, Illinois!

Here we are and let’s go inside and begin our 188th night in a bar in our journey of visiting 365 bars.

They had a full house in here on this evening, but there was two seats at the end of the bar and Jason and I snagged them and settled in for the evening.

Nick was the friendly bartender on duty for the evening and he looked familiar and he reminded me that we both met back when he was bartending at Knuckles Pizza and Sports Bar.

That was over a hundred bars ago, time flies when you’re going to a bar every night! Great to see Nick again and catch up on things!

There’s Jason at the bar, doing some double-fisted drinking! Go, Jason go!

Here’s the four beers on tap behind the bar.

There’s another shot of the bar which was pretty much filled to capacity in here on a Tuesday evening.

There’s tables, dart boards and a gaming room opposite the bar in here.

Donald pointed out that they have a sign from the old Rocky’s Hitching Post up on the wall in here. That’s a nice chunk from Peoria’s bar history hanging in here!

Here’s the nightly specials happening in here.

I love the wooden A-Frame ceiling in here and there’s lots of fun stuff packed in up there to check out!

Meanwhile, back at the packed bar…

We had a nice conversation with Pat and Lisa who were sitting next to us. Great to meet both of them on this fun evening at Trust Me Tavern!

The Drinks

I had four bottles of Bud Light, which made up for the singular beer I had the night before that Chad Wallace was bitching about!
