Very cool place. The tour was phenomenal and full of Peoria’s distilling history. The story of the present day facility. The way they source everything they use locally and that there is little waste is tribute to their stewardship and commitment to the area and their desire for longevity. The spirits are pleasing to the palate and the location draws the eye. This business wants to be a gem in the local landscape and they deserve that distinction. I highly recommend the tour and tasting and a craft cocktail at the bar. We will be back soon to try the food too.

We had the best date night at Black Band Distillery! Their new small plate menu is phenomenal! The dumplings and bone marrow were some of the best dishes you will find in Peoria! My husband and I ordered 4 plates to share and a dessert and I couldn’t finish the desert! We also each had three cocktails and each one tasted just as unique and delicious as the one before! We were very impressed with the quality of the service as well. Our server described every ingredient in each plate and even knew where a lot of them were purchased from locally. This remains the most unique and impressive spot for our date night!

We had stopped by for a cocktail before, but this was our first time getting the full culinary menu. The food was incredible! The menu is along the lines of small plate / farm-to-table restaurants in bigger cities, something that Peoria really didn’t have just yet. They have a changing menu depending on what they can source locally, so we are so excited to go back and try more dishes. Cocktails were unique with lots of options. Marco was a great server and so friendly. He really made our experience great. Hope to have him again in the future. Definitely our new favorite spot!

Black Band is where we take anyone coming to visit us. It’s our favorite restaurant in the city. Just brought some people from out of town and had a fantastic time, they were surprised that Peoria had such a great restaurant! The drinks are excellent, the food could stand against any restaurant in a major city, and the service is the best in the city for sure.

Stumbled on Black Band looking for dinner before a concert and were lucky to find this. Service staff is friendly, helpful and efficient. The food was delicious and creative – Korean mushrooms, lamb ribs, trout and duck pierogi – each had an incredible rub or sauce. Drinks were also great. Recommend a small pour of the coffee liqueur after dinner – great stuff.

Our party of four had an amazing dinner at Black Band! Every dish we ordered was unique and so very flavorful. In all, we selected five savory dishes and two desserts to share, and each person in our party tried a signature cocktail as well. While everything was truly delicious, our favorite dish was the Korean Fried Oyster Mushrooms, with the Pork Belly Char Siu a close second. Our server was knowledgeable and personable and the meal was paced perfectly. The entire experience–from ambiance and service to exceptional food–was just fabulous. We will definitely be back!
