Getting to Dan's During Hwy 50 Construction (Phase 1)

We're Open!

Phase 1 of the Hwy 50 construction project is underway, but Dan's Bar & Grill is open and accessible throughout construction. While traffic patterns have changed, there are still several easy ways to get here.

Check out the map below for a visual guide to the available routes.

Coming from the East & Hastings

This is the easiest route if you're coming from Hastings, Cottage Grove, or anywhere east of Dan's.

• Highway 50 is OPEN from Highway 61 to Dan's.

• You'll see signs that say "Local Traffic Only," but that's exactly what you are when you're coming to visit us. Simply follow Highway 50 west and continue to Dan's.

• If you'd prefer to avoid gravel roads, this is your best option.

Coming from the West (Highway 52)

There are three options when approaching from Highway 52.

• Option 1: Through Vermillion

  • Turn east onto 190th Street from Highway 52 and continue through Vermillion. Turn right onto Goodwin Avenue, then left onto either 220th Street or 230th Street, followed by a right onto Hogan Avenue to reach Dan's.

  • Please note: Portions of 220th, 230th, and Hogan are gravel roads.

• Option 2: Exit 106

  • Take Exit 106 (County Road 47) off Highway 52. Turn right onto Goodwin Avenue, then left onto either 220th Street or 230th Street, followed by a right onto Hogan Avenue.

  • Please note: Portions of 220th, 230th, and Hogan are gravel roads.

• Option 3: All-Paved Route

  • If you'd rather stay on pavement, continue south on Highway 52 to Exit 100 (County Road 86). Head east on County Road 86, then turn left onto Hogan Avenue, which will bring you north into New Trier and right to Dan's.

A Favor to Our Neighbors

Some of these alternate routes travel along quiet local roads that typically see very little through traffic. We kindly ask that you watch your speed, drive carefully, and be respectful of the neighbors who live along these roads.

Thank You for Supporting Dan's

A significant portion of our business normally comes from travelers passing through on Highway 50. During construction, that traffic will be greatly reduced.

If you've been meaning to stop by, now is a great time. Every visit, meal, and drink helps, and we truly appreciate your support while the road work is underway.

Check Back for Updates

Construction conditions can change, and we'll keep this page updated with the latest information throughout the project. Before heading our way, please check this page for the most current road and access information.

Thank you for making the trip. We can't wait to see you at Dan's!
