Good day! 

The Empire Lounge located at

3033 N Sterling Ave. Peoria, IL 61604 

needs your support! 

We want to bring as many signatures from as many households that we can collect and present to the Peoria City Council at their next meeting at the City Hall date TBD. Please support an up and coming venue looking to expand the culture of Peoria. The Council has voted against our obtaining its liquor license. The Empire Lounge will bring back what has been lost, class and cultural diversity! Let's change the minds of anyone in Peoria opposing a local venue that desires to bring a safer environment and honest business into the future,  better than ever before with a  place families can celebrate together without the worries of tomorrow.

Why must we leave our city to find safe venues, ethnic diverseness, live music, entertainment experiences and culture? Have we not a community of local musicians needing a place to expand our rhythmic and melodic heritage? Aren't we all tired of driving miles upon miles to find culture, quality foods, and the latest mixologist when we can find it right here? Furthermore, isn't the goal to develop more professional and trustworthy establishments. The Empire Lounge has been opened intentionally for clients aged 35 and above. It’s beautiful, it’s classy, it’s arranged with a unique fit providing a style many venues with live music, can’t bring to the table. Our goal is to bring a culture back to this community far away from the crime establishments have allowed to take over. A place you can truly enjoy!

Just one second could save this establishment and encourage drastic growth to the area so please give  back to the community and allow those who have created this legitimate establishment a chance to support this change too! Thank you kindly ~
