Exit 210 Saloon

Exit 210 Saloon sits on US‑150 just outside the small town of Oakwood, Illinois, a short drive from Danville. Housed in a restored 1950s wood‑frame building, the interior blends vintage saloon décor with modern neon signage, giving the space a lively, down‑home feel. Owner‑operator Brad welcomes guests with a smile and personally oversees a menu that features classic bar favorites such as hand‑breaded chicken wings, a loaded nacho platter, the house‑made “Exit Burger” topped with smoked cheddar, and a selection of craft beers from local breweries. The bar also serves signature cocktails like the “210 Old‑Fashioned” made with bourbon from nearby Springfield distilleries. Live entertainment is the heart of the venue. Every Thursday and Saturday night the stage hosts regional country‑rock bands, while the monthly “Black Dirt Country Jam” draws fans from across central Illinois for a free outdoor concert on the adjacent lot. Karaoke enthusiasts can take the mic on Monday evenings, and comedy nights are scheduled on the first Friday of each month. The venue stays open until 10 p.m., with doors typically opening at 4 p.m. for early diners and at 6 p.m. for the music crowd. Prices range from $8 for a pint of beer to $15 for a main entrée, making it an affordable night‑out for families and students alike. Patrons can browse the full menu, place take‑out orders, or arrange a private party through the website’s online ordering system. Free parking is available behind the building, and the location is easy to find from Interstate 74 via the US‑150 exit. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner, a place to hear the next local act, or a venue for a birthday celebration, Exit 210 Saloon delivers a genuine Midwestern hospitality experience.
