Okay, I didn’t go out on Wednesday night, so we’re putting up a tribute to a bar that brings back great memories for me. This bar is the Judges Chamber Bar & Grill which was located on Main Street.

Judge’s Chamber had been a bar located on Main Street since 1984. Back in the early ’90’s when I was working third shift at Fleming Potter, I used to sneak over there at three or four in the morning and have a few beers at the end of my shift before the day shift arrived at work. I’d then fill my mouth with gum and meet the day shifters and head on home.

When I moved back here in 2012 after having lived in New York City for 19 years back in 2012, I visited the Judge’s Chambers many times for blog posts and below are photos from some of those posts and links to the posts themselves.

The Judge’s Chamber was a great, dark bar on Main Street here in Peoria and I have fond memories of the place. Cheers to those memories and to the Judge’s Chambers Bar & Grill!

Photos & Memories, A Tribute To Judge’s Chamber Bar & Grill

There’s the outside of the Judge’s Chamber Bar & Grill. The place has been vacant the last couple of years and here’s hoping that something moves into this space on Main Street.

Here’s the legendary bar that I had many beers at through the years in this historic Peoria tavern.

These are some of the bartenders that served me up a beer in here through the last decade of the Judge’s Chamber while it was still in business. Cheers to all of them.
