I went and had dinner and checked out the giganzo miniature golf course at The Putt Club in East Peoria back in 2024 when they first opened, but I didn’t really hang out at the bar in there.
All that changes tonight as we go to the bar at the Putt Club and it becomes the 169th stop of our 365 tour! Fore!

Bar Number 169, The Putt Club, Monday, July 20, 2026
Here we are at The Putt Club in East Peoria. I took the top shot from their facecrack page.
Let’s go inside and see what’s happening in there on this fine Monday evening in July!
We’re inside of The Putt Club and that bar is just inside of this doorway…
And there it is, the impressive bar in here at The Putt Club. A lot of people just think of miniature golf when they hear the title of The Putt Club, but the bar is very nice in here.
Let’s grab a seat and get settled in for the evening!
Aidan was the friendly bartender in here and he delivered me an ice-cold Pabst Blue Ribbon tallboy. We’re off to a fabulous start in here tonight!
As you can see, they have a large selection of beers on tap to choose from in here.
There’s a large dining area opposite the bar and they have a full dining menu in here. Check out this Seth Boyer video to see some of the selections on the lunch and dinner menu.
Here’s a shot of the entire bar from the back of the dining room.
There’s a “Puttertainment” room right next to the bar.
They have an indoor miniature golf course in here and…
Another dining area which overlooks the Duckpin Bowling lanes. Very cool!
There’s a large patio area just outside of the bar and dining room.
And here’s what The Putt Club is best known for, their gigantic miniature golf course! This is the largest miniature golf course in the Central Illinois area!
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
I met Geoff who’s the manager of The Putt Club. We had a nice conversation and he said he was happy I was putting the spotlight on the bar in here!
Okay, the spotlight has now shined down on the bar in The Putt Club, our 169th stop of this 365 tour!
