    Fun Joint! And get an education while you get entertained. Doug would give you the shirt off his back.

    Found this basic looking bar in Galena. Gold Room is a small place with a bar and a few tables and…read morenot much else to be honest. They have a couple TVs so you can watch games or whatever. A lot of the basic beverages. There's beers on tap as well as mixers. Chill place when nothing is going on around. It's also not that crowded when other places are full. The only thing on the menu here is alcoholic beverages which is a good thing. All one needs to have fun. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail like whiskey mixed with Coke or whatever. Can also bring things in. There's a lot of close by restaurants. Got the basic drinks like beer and cheap cocktails. It's open later than most places around here. They have grill in the name but no food so eat before or bring in something from wherever.

    Super towny bar. It's the kind of bar where the regulars not only give you the long side eye, but…read morethe bartender won't directly address you until it's established that you "fit in." (In this case, have cash ready to go and don't order some ridiculous cocktail. Stick to beer and shots and you're golden). After that the bartender was pretty fantastic. Cash only. It was absolutely packed. a Completely SRO and it's not a small place. The bar is quite long and there are a few tables here and there. Prices were really cheap. They had Touchtunes but it was so hopping that after an hour, not one of our songs had played yet.

    This is one of my favorite rock n roll clubs/bars in Iowa! Located right off the Mississippi where…read morethe boats are docked to shore, this is a great place to cast your anchor and hang out for a night and watch some music! When entering the bar you might think you are in a different land, and in a different time! It feels kinda like an Irish pub in a dungeon! But there's a pool table so you know your safe! There are two long bars one on the side room where the music is and one in the main room! I have been here numerous times of the past 10 years and the bar tenders always seem to be the same. And they are great! Prices are great too, you can get your fancy whisky or craft brews, but they also carry cans of PBR, and Old Mil for us on a budget! The music room is great, it has great sound, and Aaron H. who has booked here for years brings in great stuff, a totally curated room of music! The locals just come here cause there is live music and they usually leave satisfied in their choice cause Aaron has great taste! I have been lucky enough to play here a few times and every time I have had a great time! They have a great back patio as well, but like I said they are right off the Mississippi so it might get kinda buggy sometimes! This is a total gem if you find yourself in Dubuque!

    Old school vibe here. We randomly came across this place after we went to Vinnys for supper. Then…read morewe randomly ran into out of town friends. We had a blast. Its not anything fancy here just a nice casual bar.
