A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 88: Burnzee’s Bar & Grill

by MBIP


I thought that we’d take a ride into Brimfield and visit Burnzee’s Bar & Grill for our 88th night visiting bars.

And so that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Off we go to Brimfield, Illinois we go!

Bar Number 88: Burnzee’s Bar & Grill, Tuesday, March 7, 2026

Here we are at Burnzee’s Bar & Grill in Brimfield, Illinois.

There’s a side entrance, but we’ll go in the front door over here. I love the directional signs on the patio over here!

Okay, let’s go inside and see what’s happening in Burnzee’s Bar & Grill on this fine April evening.

The bar is back behind this dining area and it’s pretty full tonight, but I think I see a seat I can snag down at the end, let’s go grab it and get settled in for the evening.

Jace was the friendly bartender on duty this evening and here he is delivering me an ice-cold bottle of Budweiser. I love it when this happens!

Sandra was sitting next to me and said that she’s been following the 365 bar crawl, which I always love to hear! She’s the bar manager here at Burnzee’s and she was hanging out with Jake, who’s a bartender here and Jessica and Lily. They’re all looking fantastic and it was wonderful to meet all of them.

As I said, Sandra’s the bar manager in here and she told me something about tonight’s bartender, Jace, that I think he was too humble to tell me. Sandra told me that last month, People Magazine voted Jace the sexiest bartender of the year. Now, I have to admit, I had my doubts about this, but I came home and did a Google search and this People Magazine cover came up…

Wow, how cool is this? Congratulations to Jace, you sexy beast you!

There’s a sign behind the bar with drink and food specials, they have a kitchen here and a full lunch and dinner menu.

They also have a half a dozen beers on tap behind the bar.

Elly and Zack came over and said hi and it turns out that Zack is Sandra’s son. It’s a real family affair in here!

There’s another room behind the bar with the other side of the bar, a beer tap handle collection and two pool tables. Nice!

Then Sandra and Zack showed me this back party room which is huge and it has it’s own bar, tables and dart boards.

This is available to rent out for parties and you can contact Burnzee’s for details about renting this room for your own private party here. Very cool!

They have a gaming room if you’re in the mood to gamble in here and there’s also non-gambling games over here. A little something for everyone at Burnzee’s!

This was really a fun evening at Burnzee’s Bar & Grill!

Thanks to Jace, Sandra and everyone else at the bar this evening. Burnzee’s is one of those places where it’s friendly and a welcoming place to have fun, food and drinks! You should check it out today!
