6 reviews for Big Al's
I can't believe they haven't closed this place down...yet.
The things that go on in there....I'm too much of a lady to repeat;-)
Back in da day...I spent way too many drunk evenings and occasional days here (observing, not working). Great place to bring your guy friends for their birthdays since dishing out 20 bucks will get them a decent lap dance. You end up spending less than on some boring gift and they will think you are the coolest girl they know.
Last time I was here conversation replay:
Me: "Hey you're hot, it's my friend's birthday, he wants a dance"
Stripper: "Sure, my name is Jewel but you look like Jewel. How about I give you both a lap dance for 20 bucks"
Me turning to my friend: "I like this place"

There has been a Big Al's in Peoria for years. It is what it is - a good ol' boy's club. The problem is the boys aren't well behaved. They shed good behavior like a coat when they walk in the door.
If you are a female who is who is easily offended by language not heard in polite company, naked women and lap dances, Big Al's is not for you. Big Al's has a bouncer at the door for crowd control and belligerent drunks - both of which can be a problem to any public establishment - not just at Big Al's.
A friend and I took grandpa to Big Al's for his 85th birthday. Much to my dismay I learned grandpa was just a boy a heart.
He had so much fun he didn't want to leave. He didn't know I had planned all the extra attention in advance. I didn't know he was going to like it. Silly me. He talked about that night until the day he died. I regret that I didn't do it again.
Big Al's is what it is. Go with an open mind, stay out of trouble and you'll one heck of a good time.

I've never been a fan - the dancers strike me as snobby and standoffish and preoccupied with large groups, bachelor parties, and Bradley fraternity boys...even when those people aren't spending any money. Locally I prefer the place across the river in Creve Coeur.

So I was here the past weekend and had a horrible experience in the service. Basically, DO NOT GET THE BUFFET!!! A corner slice of pizza, ended up getting my friend and I kicked out, & surrounded by cops. And I paid friggin paid $10 that they were asking! Then kicking us out, they wouldn't even give me my money back. Fucking townies, can't trust them and their townie ways.
This is a huge attraction for Peoria, this place is known world wide. You don't know Peoria if you don't know Big Al's. Yes, this place is a strip bar, but it is bar none the less, the boobies are a bonus! If you get there before 7:00, there is no cover, after that, I think it's $5 or $10 bucks. On one day of the week, (i forget which), they have $2 U-Call-It, the drinks are kinda small but not bad, that is the day where more BU students are there. So you start the night out a little early (don't worry, there will be quite a few people there by that time), you get cheap drinks, and look at boobies for free, best deal in town. The girls are nice but maybe not go on Sunday's, looks like they have their C-squad playing that day, plus, that's God's day, so be good. Fun place to go for a bachelor's party or just a group of friends to get drinks, boobies in your face, and a fun time.
Remember, no sex in the Champagne room.

Bad weather left me stranded in Peoria overnight. I was super upset, until I saw that the hotel that the airline put me up in was within walking distance of Big Al's - an American classic.
Midwestern women are beautiful, so you see what you'd expect to see at Big Al's. The Silicone Revolution hasn't hit Peoria yet, so few women are rockin' C's and D's.
Still, Big Al's has fully nude beautiful women in a full-service bar. Yes, you can actually drink alcohol here. Like one reviewer before me, I was here on a Thursday night; so I had all the mixed drinks I wanted for $3.
I saw at the tip stage with my mixed drink, not so bummed that I got stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Came here on a Thursday night and found a GREAT line up of dancers! Thursday was also $3 drink night so everything was $3. Couch dances were $20 per song. I had a great time and will definitely be back.
