About this place Sparky
Sparky's Bar and Grill Ringside, at 1914 North Wisconsin Avenue in Peoria, is a neighbourhood bar and grill that the listing describes as LGBTQ+ friendly, with karaoke, dancing and drag shows alongside a burger menu. On quiet afternoons it is a place for a beer and a bite; on show nights it gets loud and busy.
It opens at 10am every day and runs until 1am (midnight on Sundays), so it works for a late lunch as well as a night out. The crowd is mostly regulars. Check the bar's social media for the current karaoke and drag schedule before planning around a show.
