I’m not a big fan of Super Bowl Sunday, it kind of reminds me of New Year’s Eve and I hate New Year’s Eve! People start drinking early and most bars turn into a sea of drunken idiots by early evening.

At first I was going to go to a bar at a Mexican restaurant on this Super Bowl Sunday, but then I thought of a place that I can walk to in less than a minute: The Fish House! I live really close to The Fish House and was kind of saving going to their bar for a special occasion and tonight, is that special occasion!

I’m guessing it will be pretty much free of any Super Bowl Sunday madness.

Let’s go spend Super Bowl Sunday 2026 at The Fish House!

Bar Number 30: The Fish House, Sunday, February 8, 2026

Okay, here we are on the sidwalk in front of where I live. We’ll start walking and 47 seconds later…

Whoomp, here we are at one of my favorite places in Peoria, The Fish House!

Let’s go in and see if they are free of Super Bowl Sunday Madness!

There’s the bar in all of it’s dark glory! I love the bar in here and I’ve got my choice of any seat I want! Looks like everyone is out at a Super Bowl party and I think I chose the right place for this evening’s Sunday night dinner!

Logan was the friendly bartender on duty and here he is serving up an ice cold bottle of Budweiser to start off the evening! Cheers!

The lone TV set in here is perched way up in the ceiling and while it is tuned into the Super Bowl, it is easily ignored and that’s exactly what we’ll do on this MBIP non Super Bowl Sunday!

There’s the trio of taps behind the bar.

Priscilla was the pretty hostess on duty for the evening and she stopped back by the bar, so of course I had to take her photo! It was great to meet her and we had a nice chat.

There’s tables and a cocktail lounge directly behind the bar and I love the colorful and lit-up ceiling in here!

There’s the beautiful dining room here, but we’re not going to 365 dining rooms, so let’s get back to…

The bar!

I ordered two of the featured appetizers for my Sunday dinner and I’ve highlighted them here.

And it looks like our Sunday dinner is just about to happen! Perfect timing because I’m starving like you know who!

Here’s the first course, the Seared Tuna! It looks absolutely fabulous!

The tuna is marinated in a ginger sauce and rolled in Caribbean spices and sesame seeds. It’s served with a spicy sauce that I added some soy sauce to and this was a flavorful and delicious dish!

For the second course of this non Super Bowl Sunday, I got the New England Crab Cakes.

They come with a savory sauce and they also have a spicy dipping sauce on the plate. These were crispy on the outside and so tasty and rich when you take a bite.

This was a delicious appetizer dinner at the Fish House!
