Downtown Peoria’s ALL NEW Country Bar
The Former Judge’s Chamber now “The Neon Bison” is the longest running bar in downtown Peoria. In August of 2019 when the local owners bought the bar, they were one of the first to take the leap into reinvesting and reimagining greatness in the downtown area and Main Street! In conjunction with Peoria city governing officials, our goal is that we provide all the valuable tourists and metropolitan area residents alike the comfort to enjoy Downtown as the epicenter of travel to Peoria’s great downtown area! The Neon Bison is all new, inside and out bringing a Nashville feel to Peoria!
With lots of tvs and a great surround system, it’s the perfect spot for sporting events, including Direct TV's NFL Sunday ticket and Cubs and Cardinals baseball during the season. The newly built window front seating area transforms to a cozy country/rock stage at night for small intimate live music. Also our 6 brand new gaming machines moved into their own private gaming area pay out big on a weekly basis! Plenty of security and we will follow all government guidelines for Covid-19 (so mask up until we don’t have to). Come experience a bit of Nashville in Peoria.
