The Medici

Stopped in last spring to check this place out. Upscale college town atmosphere next to my alma mater, ISU. We didn’t get a chance to try the food, but the beer selection was awesome.

First time here, found it on RB. Nice place with a pretty good selectrion of a variet of beers - 23 taps plus more on the bar upstairs apprently, with another bunch upstairs. Food was very good - had the salmon brulee.

I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, I commend them for bringing in some great draft choices. The downside is that they do not take care of the lines. Had infected line beer from them which is unacceptable, particularly for a beer bar. If they sort this out, they’ll be good to go. Didn’t eat anything.

Medici recently re-imaged to a fancier local. The menu has dropped the "bar food" in favor of sit down dining. Wednesday beers have increased to $4. Wednesday warrior club is still alive and kicking. Service is really hit or miss. I have consistent good service in the bar area and have had really poor and really good table service.

This is as good as it gets for central, IL. 32 taps, my recent favorites are Storm King, Old Rasputin, Robert the Bruce, Alpha King & Matilda. The selection is constantly changing. Wednesdays, all beers are $3. Join the Wednesday Warrior club, 10 different trips on Wednesdays buying a beer gets you a free T-shirt. When you wear the T-shirt in your glass gets upgraded to a larger size. That makes wearing the shirt on Wednesday a great deal since all drafts are $3. The glass upgrade is from a challis to a pint for high alcohol brews and from a pint to a 20 oz. glass for other brews. My wife and I have eaten there once or twice a week for the past few months and never a bad meal. The garbage pizza is honestly the best pizza I’ve ever had and I eat a lot of pizza. The bar service is excellent. The seated service is the reason I did not give the overall service a perfect rating. I used to travel to Kellehers in Peoria or Flossmoor Station for a combination of great beer and food. No need to any

a casual, but upscale restaruant with a well thought out beer selection. plenty of good taps and bottles to choose from, i enjoyed a red seal ale, crooked tree ipa (darkhorse), and a prima pils. according to the bartender they like to change up their taps, and the menu said that they ware working on expanding their already decent bottle selection. (90 minute was availible with a few others that weren’t listed yet.) food is pretty good too, seems to be bread based, with pizzas and stuff (is a bakery too) there are also pastas, burgers and steaks. lots of wood in the decorating, this is a cool new place to have a beer in uptown normal
