Dancer's Creek Barn 702 Northwest 9th Avenue, Aledo, IL 61231

"Dancer's Creek Barn is a beautifully renovated dairy barn on a wonderfully landscaped property. Originally a venue for weddings and reunions, it has since transitioned into a wonderful little antique mall and bar + bakery. A large and nice selection of local brews, wines, whiskeys, bourbons as well as the typical beers (PBR, Busch, etc.) The margaritas are excellent. Every drink is sourced and made with old-school methods and top-quality ingredients. The views over the pasture from the second floor loft and balcony are amazing. A nice selection of local vendors to shop from as well. Some musicians will come and play live music every once in a while which helps enhance the already warm, cozy, friendly, peaceful atmosphere. Food events can be found here from time to time as well. Be sure to check out the Facebook page for more information! If you have an afternoon and a few extra dollars, go check it out. There really is no other place like it."

"I recently visited Dancer’s Creek Barn & was thoroughly impressed by the beauty of the location & the attention to detail inside the barn. The barn showcased a variety of independent artists & their beautiful workmanship. Blending a beautiful tapestry of wood working, jerky, breads & caramels, honey, homemade soaps & deodorants & much more!"

"Just at the edge of Aledo, Illinois city limits sits a beautifully restored dairy barn Dancer's Creek Barn. Randy & Cindy the owners are gracious hosts serving up delicious cocktails. I'd recommend the chocolate martini or the bloodymary. As you stroll through the eclectic array of vintage home decor and artisan gifts you'll be swept away to a time when days were simple. For the hungry traveler you may purchase fresh made pies, breads, pastries, preserves and jerky. Worth the trip from where ever you are. It was a pleasure spending time there."

"A hidden gem in Aledo. Kind of off thr beaten path, but worth the trip. The rhubarb margaritas were awesome!"

"Quaint! Small, intimate venue, capacity of maybe 100. Two floors of rustic charm. Very nice all the way around, no disappointments."
