Pekin
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Pekin, Illinois
Pekin, a small city along the Illinois River near Peoria, has a classic small-town bar scene - BarFinder lists 30 venues, split fairly evenly between sports bars and bars, with a couple of pubs and a winery rounding things out. Local spots like Koch Street Bar & Grill and West Dublin Pub cover the casual side, while Danny's Oyster Pub and Danny's 1 Bar keep a more old-school tavern character alive. It's a straightforward lineup built around local regulars rather than a defined nightlife district.
