'It's exciting': Veteran Peoria bartender takes over Peoria restaurant spot
After more than two decades in the bartending business, Justin Anderson felt ready to have his own spot. The Peoria native spent years searching for the right space. Untamed Chef , situated at 7338 N. University St., Peoria, seemed like an ideal option. Located close to home, Anderson described the area as “uncharted territory” for a late-night bar. In June 2023, the business was listed on Crexi for $325,000. The option initially proved too costly, so Anderson's search continued. But, in recent months, the asking price was lowered. “And that's when I jumped on it,” said Anderson, who now boasts more than 25 years in the industry and continues bartendering at Crusens on War Memorial Drive. He and business partner Austin Blair – they worked together at Crusens – took ownership of the eatery on Sept. 11. “It's exciting, overwhelming and very scary,” he said. “But … I'm very confident that we will succeed in this.” More: 'Defined area' for alcohol outlined for Downtown Peoria mall space Making a ‘more bar heavy’ space Updates are already underway as Anderson works to bring his vision to life. New TVs have been installed, and Anderson also added a jukebox and new speakers.
