Obed & Isaac's Microbrewery & Eatery

This is an awesome brewery set in an old church. The service is lacking on some of my visits but the do have a decent beer selection to make up for it. If you enjoy whiskey they do also have an extensive whiskey list and do whiskey flights as well as beer flights

 

Great place. Beautiful exposed wood construction, stained, and leaded, glass windows. Booths, tables, and high tops surround the central circular bar just off the altar. Seating for 100+ inside and another 60+ outside on the garden patio. Slightly off the main drag, but certainly walking distance from everything.

Beers were good, especially the Bohemian Nights. Nice to see a dark beer on tap that isn't thick and heavy. Also good to see IPAs don't dominate the menu.

Service was knowledgeable and attentive. Food was better than average.

A nice place with frequent live musicians. I'll be back. (Just a warning)

 

Brewery in a former church.
Main dining and imbibing area inside, stained class , exposed wood beams, vaulted ceilings, altar, the whole deal…with an enjoyable and spacious outdoor dining area.

Bar in the center, busy, and efficient bartender behind the sticks. tables and booths around the outside of the room. They offer a variety of the typically available US and Brit styles. Also, crowlers and growlers to go.

Scotch eggs looked awesome, they are doing flat breads, burgers, Sammie’s and some heavier comfort foods like a bacon wrapped meatloaf. Had a tasty brown ale and the yummy fish tacos.

Worth a visit for a meal and tasty rotating beer options….good for a date, with the guys, the family or w a group

Just a beautiful reuse of an old church in downtown Peoria.

The main bar room has exposed and arched wooden beams, a soaring celling, cool old stained glass, etc. Its roots as a church are proudly on display. The bar occupies the center of the space and there are many large and small tables to sit at. It is really a nice space!

The beer garden is a gem. Besides seating, there is a fire pit, bocce ball courts, etc. We ate outside and it was a great setting.

I thought the food was solid. Most of my party was from out-of-state, so we introduced them to that the central Illinois favorite the Horse Shoe. They had multiple options for the meat portion, so that was a nice touch. Good burgers, fish and chips, etc.

The service while friendly was a bit slow and disinterested. Beer took forever to come out, but the kitchen staff assisted on the food delivery and that was pretty quick.

Speaking of beer, they had maybe 15 or so house beers. They ranged from ok to slightly above average. I thought the Oktoberfest was the best of the bunch while the Belgian Pale Ale was a miss.

I would have no issue returning as the over-all experience was good.

Phenomenal spot! Great food, better beer (Magical Unicorn Elixir!), and a SPECTACULAR location — inside an old church with beautiful stained glass windows and wood ceiling!

 

I love this venue! Old church converted into a microbrewery. Beer I sampled was all very good and the Reuben sandwich was good.
