Revel & Maker opened in Downtown Peoria over the weekend.

An Instagram post described the cocktail bar – situated right above Ardor Breads and Provisions – as “a space to escape after the daily drudgery & to celebrate those memorable milestones.”

Revel & Maker is now open from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. Thursday and 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Various reservation options are available through Tock. These include:

  • 3 courses of cocktails for $55 per person.

  • The Revel & Maker Experience – which features two cocktails and two small dishes – for $65 per person.

Ardor announced the concept in November 2023 and wrote it would be “inspired by prohibition era cocktail bars and the mid-western supper club.” After beginning as a bakery and growing into a restaurant, Ardor was named one of USA TODAY’s Restaurants of the Year in 2024.
