The 33 Room is a real slice of Peoria history. It’s the hospitality suite from the Pabst Blue Ribbon brewery in the Peoria Heights. The name comes from the Pabst slogan from the ’40’s: “33 Fine Brews Blended into One Great Beer.”
They re-opened this taproom with the original backbar on March 3, 2022. Let’s go stop in there on our 41st night of this 365 bar tour!

Bar Number 41: The 33 Room, Thursday, February 19, 2026
Here we are at The 33 Room in Peoria Heights.
I love that neon sign above the door! Let’s go in and see what’s happening in here tonight.
There’s plenty of seats at the bar, let’s go get settled in for the evening.
I love the giant Pabst logo on the back wall of the bar.
Nick was the friendly bartender on duty and here he is serving up a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon! I had to have a can of Pabst in here, it just seems like the right thing to do!
As I took some photos in here, Nick pointed out that there’s no TV’s in here. I never noticed that before and he said they don’t have them to promote sociability in here.
I think this may just be the only bar in Peoria without a TV set in it! If you know of another, let me know!
In addition to Pabst, they have a nice selection beers in here.
There’s three beers on tap which are locally sourced beers.
In addition to beers, they also have a nice selection of cocktails and there’s also something hidden under the bar in here. You have to stop in to find out! I’ll never tell!
There’s a Happy Hour here, Monday through Friday and there’s a list of some of the craft beers available to sample in here.
There’s a classic Pabst 33 ad and a nice Pablst mural adorns the back wall.
They have t-shirts for sale in here with The 33 Room logo on them.
Jim and Lindsey came in for a cocktail and we had a nice conversation about Peoria Heights and local bars.
They head up the Pink Boots and Country Roots charity and you can read about the upcoming concert they’re sponsoring here in the Heights on September 19th by clicking right here.
Great to meet both of them!
I love this classic Pabst billboard on the side of the building.

The Drinks
I had two cans of 16 ounce Pabst Blue Ribbon and they were delicious!
Oh and yeah, this probably should’ve been the 33rd stop of this tour and Tavern 41 would’ve made more sense for this stop, but when did we ever make sense here?
