Club Diesel

"Friday March 1st, 2024 I (28M) went out with some friends for their 25th birthday as DD. Diesel was our last stop of the night, we spent a few really fun hours there and met some great people! However. One of our friends (26F) kept being approached by and touched inappropriately, by a strange (and very drunk) young man wearing a Bass Pro hat. He was extremely agressive and wouldn't take no for an answer. We told him multiple times to leave her alone. He claimed to know her but didnt know her name (kept guessing) and wouldn't leave. He also claimed to work there as a DJ and dared us to get the bouncer to remove him. Eventually after forcefully removing ourselves from his presence (almost leading myself, who was sober all night, into fistfight just to let the girls exit), we contacted the bouncer. After explaining our situation to him, he told us he would "take care of it" ... and proceeded to do nothing about it. I had to stand next to the bouncer to get him to eventually talk to the guy. Which resulted in nothing as well. They might've been chatting about their day from what I could tell. This made everyone at the birthday party feel extremely unsafe and like it was time to leave. If these are the types of employees that work there, it is not as safe an enviornment as we were led to believe. And sadly, even though we originally had fun, none of us will be returning. A friend made it very clear to me that I should post this to inform any other young adventuring parties. Also, my friends and I will be informing every person we know about it and hopefully changes will be made soon."

"I’ve been trying for 2 days to find a number or someone I can call about my phone I left there Saturday 2/17/24 , I’ve tracked it twice there I also messaged the Facebook page and still no answer .."

"So excited to have walked past this place! I’m not a local but I instantly felt at home welcomed! Wish I had a bar like this at home."

"Even though Peoria Nightlife is struggling to survive on Main St. anymore, Club Diesel is not only doing all the right things to make an enjoyable experience out of being "down on Main" in Peoria but is also making themselves a great destination in it self as well as being one of the few reasons going downtown is still a worthwhile adventure."

"I no longer live in the area, but whenever I’m back in town and want to go out, this is the place to go! Great drink prices, an awesome owner and bar staff and fun upbeat music (with not a lot of rap) make this a must for nightlife in Central Illinois! The drag shows are a must see, as well! This club has gaming machines, as well as an outdoor patio with bar for smokers."
