Inside Obed & Isaac's Microbrewery and Eatery
Obed & Isaac's Microbrewery and Eatery in downtown Peoria offers a distinctive brewpub experience set within the shell of a beautifully preserved century-old church. This spot blends a casual, lively beer garden vibe with a full-service restaurant atmosphere, making it a natural gathering place for locals and visitors looking for more than just a meal or a pint.
Stepping inside, you’re greeted by soaring stained glass and exposed brick that add quiet character to what feels like a communal neighborhood hub. The balance between the historic setting and a modern, bustling interior creates an inviting space whether you’re settling in for brunch, grabbing drinks with friends, or enjoying an evening meal after work.
The menu reflects a thoughtful mix of approachable comfort food and creative takes on classic pub fare. Crowd favorites like the Pulled Pork Nachos and Stinger Burger stand out alongside less common items such as Scotch Eggs and Jägerschnitzel with Spaetzle, giving diners plenty of reasons to come back and try something new each visit. Generous portions are a recurring theme, which pairs well with their diverse beer lineup that includes local brews and specialty drinks like the well-liked Strawberry Blonde ale and Signature Cocktails.
Service here tends to be friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, even when the place is busy—something to keep in mind if you drop in during peak hours or weekends. The beer garden out back adds a relaxed, social dimension to the experience; it’s a popular spot for casual hangouts where you can savor a cold one and soak up some Midwestern sun when weather allows.
This is a spot that works well for a range of occasions: a weekend lunch with family, a casual night out with co-workers, or a laid-back date where atmosphere and good flavors take center stage. Locals appreciate the combination of quality ingredients, well-curated drink options, and a setting that feels uniquely tied to Peoria’s downtown.
Pro tip: Arrive a bit early on weekends to avoid wait times, and consider trying the house-made desserts like the Gooey Butter Cake or Kitchen Sink Pie if you have room after a hearty meal.
