Lakeside Bar & Grill is announcing a new menu and a new renovation.
Found at 9980 W. Happy Valley Parkway in Peoria, the restaurant has undergone an extensive redesign to enhance the dining experience, representatives of the brand tell the Digital Free Press.
By removing and lowering walls, the entrance now feels wide open, creating a sense of connection throughout the venue and improving sightlines. The updated aesthetic features exposed brick walls, modern light fixtures, and brand-new flooring, giving the space a cozy yet contemporary vibe.
Adding to the charm is an authentic glider suspended above the bar, along with new state-of-the-art televisions placed throughout. Enhanced seating options include additional booths and tables, perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a date night, family gathering, or game-day meetup.
While Lakeside Bar & Grill has kept fan favorites like the flavorful wings, fresh burgers, and the all-you-can-eat Friday Fish Fry, they’ve introduced new dishes across all categories—salads, appetizers, burgers, and entrees. Adults can also savor new cocktails and expanded beer options.
“We’re excited to share these new creations with our guests,” said Bill Toole, owner of POV Foods, the restaurant group that owns and operates Lakeside Bar & Grill. “We aim to deliver fresh, flavorful dishes that our community will love, and we believe these new specials are a perfect reflection of that.”
With two dedicated pet-friendly patios, “Kids Eat Free” Tuesdays, and an all-age trivia on Wednesdays, Lakeside Bar & Grill remains committed to being the go-to destination for the local community, ensuring the whole family can enjoy a night out together.
“We are proud to have served the amazing Northwest Valley neighborhood for more than 16 years as one of the original businesses at The Four Corners district,” says Toole. “It’s our pleasure to have connected with so many families over the years, and it’s exciting to be part of the rapid growth in the West Valley.”
