Okay, I have a non-bar meeting tonight near Pekin, so I thought I’d stop off at a bar there. I’ve been meaning to stop in at a place called Rhythm & Brews and so that’s exactly what we’re going to do. And away to Pekin we go!

Bar Number 181: Rhythm & Brews, Monday, August 3, 2026
Here we are at Rhythm & Brews on Court Street in Pekin, Illinois! Let’s go in and begin our 181st evening in a bar!
Wow, it’s bigger in here than I thought it would be!
Check out the large rectangular bar in here, very nice! And there’s plenty of free seats, let’s snag one and get settled in for this evening.
Larissa was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving me up a can of Bud Light. We’re off to a fantastic start tonight!
They have two sets of beers on tap on both sides of the bar and here they are in all of their glory.
There’s the August specials including a Butch’s Pizza and there’s a row of gaming machines against the wall opposite the bar, if you feel lucky. Well, do ya, punk?
There’s tables and chairs opposite the bar to sit and relax in.
They have an organ up on display in the front window and I think this is the first organ we’ve seen in a bar so far! It reminds me that one of these days I have to get organizized.
There’s a nice pool table and two state-of-the-art dartboards up in the front of the bar.
Our resident Pabst Blue Ribbon enthusiast, Chad Wallace will like all of this Pabst signage in here!
Check out the nod to the Pekin Chinks over on this wall!
I love this Cheech and Chong poster over here!
Okay, one more shot of this side of the bar and a parting shot of the logo on the back mirror.
Adios, Rhythm & Brews!

The Drinks
I was in a little bit of a hurry, so I only had time for one Bud Light. I promise I’ll have at least two beers tomorrow!
