I had to do a little improvising on Monday’s trip to bar number 117. Keep on scrolling to see what happened on this Monday evening in May on our way to bar number 117!

Bar Number 117: Duck’s On Farmington Road, Monday, May 11, 2026

My original plan was to go to Norwood Tap, as I haven’t been to this bar for years. Sadly, when I arrived, it was closed. According to the sign, they’re open Wednesday through Sunday. Sound the wah wah wah alarm!

Okay, back to the car and it’s time to improvise!

I hopped in the car and headed back down Farmington Road and steered into Duck’s, which used to be the old Kenny’s Westside Pub.

It became Duck’s in 2024 and I went here a couple years ago for the blog and now it looks like it’s time to go in and get all Ducked Up at Duck’s!

There’s the bar and there’s some open seats at the corner, let’s snag one and get settled in for the evening!

Jessica was the pretty bartender on duty and here she is serving me up an ice-cold can of Budweiser! Okay, this evening is back on track!

Here’s a shot from the end of the bar and there’s the six beers on tap behind the bar.

There’s tables opposite the bar to drink and dine at. They have a full menu in here and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. This bar opens at six in the morning!

I like this stop-action photo of the Mona Lisa enjoying a can of Red Bull over here in the corner. You go girl!

Check out the Peoria Chiefs signage up on the ceiling! That goes right along with yesterday’s post!

Here’s a shot from the other side of the bar.

There’s more tables over here and gaming machines in the corner if you’re in a gambling mood.

I love this giganzo, vintage Old Style sign hanging overhead on the ceiling in here!

Meanwhile, back on this side of the bar…

I met Ethan and Sully who have just graduated from Bradley! We had a nice conversation about Peoria and life in general, great to meet both of them!
