Easy Tiger
Easy Tiger is what you might call a modern dive bar. It’s relatively young in the tooth yet feels like its own little time capsule. That’s intentional. The owners of Peoria’s Driftwood Coffee, Lance Linderman and Luke Bentley, set out to create a comfortable neighborhood spot on the west side of town that was reminiscent of bars from the 1980s or ’90s. Think wood paneling, vintage beer signs and Oasis blasting on the stereo while reruns of “Baywatch” play on TV. And cans of Hamm’s share space in the cooler with Wren House Brewing Co.’s Valley Beer. But the taut list of affordable cocktails and house shooters shows Easy Tiger does more than nostalgia well. Try The Priestess High for the bar’s mezcal-spiked take on a prickly pear margarita. If you’re feeling peckish, Easy Tiger also features snacks including tots, wings and tacos.
