There’s a restaurant in Bartonville with a bar in it called Club Phoenix II that I’ve never been to.
So tonight we’re going to go there and it will become the 252nd bar of this tour. See how this happens here? Okay, it’s off to Bartonville we go!

Bar Number 252: Club Phoenix II, Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Here we are at Club Phoenix II in Bartonville. This place is sandwiched in between two places we’ve visted already: Jack’s Pizza Tavern and Backroads Saloon.
Here’s a picture of all three places, all in a row!
Okay, let’s go inside and see what’s happening in here.
There’s a nice bar in here and I got here just around opening time, so there’s plenty of seats available. Let’s grab one and get settled in for the evening.
Julie is not only the pretty bartender on duty tonight, she’s also the owner of Club Phoenix. She told me that they’ve been in operation in this space for over 30 years. Very impressive!
They were featured on an episode of “You Gotta Eat,” and you can check that out by clicking right here.
Here’s some of the food that was featured on that episode, from the top: A grilled steak, ribs and frog legs. Everything looks fantastic!
I love this collection of baseball hats that hangs over the bar!
Here’s a shot from the other end of the bar.
Comfortable booths line the all opposite the bar.
There’s a nice gaming area over here in this corner of the room.
The dining room is over here, directly opposite the bar. Stop in and try some of their entrees the next time you’re in Bartonville!
