It’s like getting drunk at your cool grandmas house! This is quite possibly the cutest comfiest bar that has ever existed. It’s decked out in funky 70’s style decor and filled with funny knick knacks and board/card games for entertainment. The seating is a good mixture of comfy couches and restaurant style tables and booths for whatever your vibe is. The staff are so friendly and funny you’ll want to be their best friends by the end of the night! The drinks are a fun combination of classic cocktails and fun novelty drinks on the sweet side of things that you get to pick from a “kids style” menu with coloring pages! Overall an entirely unique and perfect experience that I can’t think of a single way to improve upon.

We decided to stop in spur of the moment last week and try out Matilda's, and we were really glad we did. I think embracing the cozy feel works super well with the floorplan of the business (old 8-Bit so the multiple rooms of varying sizes). And the decor and music really enhance the vibes. We tried a couple of the signature cocktails, both of which we really liked (particularly 1, ah ah, 2 ah ah). There were plenty of other choices that I'm sure we'll go back and try as well. We had some ranch chex mix, which was a great bar snack and really fits the ethos. We're looking forward to getting some ruffles and french onion dip next time.

Visiting Peoria from Chicago and had the absolute best experience here. Delicious drinks, wonderful atmosphere, and standout service. We came as a group of 5, the staff was incredibly friendly and gave us complimentary delicious Jell-O shots and offered to take a photo of our group. We accidentally knocked over and broke a glass and not only were they so friendly about it, but they replaced the nearly full drink free of charge. I cannot recommend this spot enough! Everything from the menus to the cozy couches and booths were carefully curated. Must check it out if you’re in town.

This is the place Peoria has needed for so long!

The sweetest atmosphere, cozy with vintage furniture and decor. Hidden gems all over, like a typewriter to leave a message, and a vcr to play the old movies you watched at grandma’s house.

The cocktail list has got 70s classics and beautifully curated house cocktails that will rotate. The current list are all nods to Sesame Street characters. My favorite is Scram! A delightfully trashy riff on a classic daiquiri - rum, sugar, lime, and a bit of pickle brine. Truly the best cocktail I’ve had in years. The one named after Count has berry jam and tequila - so refreshing!

The drinks are on the slightly smaller side, which I love cause then I get to try more. They’re priced appropriately too - all drinks are around $10-13. We are so lucky Whitney has created this absolute gem, her and her team make this...
