It had been years since my last visit to Breezers before stopping in recently, and I was happy to…read moresee that little of the familiar covered-in-posters decor had changed. Oh, sure, the air hockey table was gone and other games had been shuffled around a bit, but it was unmistakably Breezers. I have always had a good rapport with the staff at Breezers in the past, and this had not changed either. Our drinks were kept full and they were even happy to follow our instructions for some strange shots and whatnot. At the bar, we were left to our own devices when conversing amongst ourselves and entertained with banter when we weren't. Perfect. The place may be small and the booze selection somewhat limited by the unrefined tastes of its typical clientele, but it's always been inviting and rarely rowdy (unlike a lot of other bars in the area). And did I mention the jukebox? Sure, it's just one of those TouchTunes things, but what's set up there by default is an aging metalhead's paradise. Nothing like having an endless supply of Megadeth to keep tossing my dollars at the barkeep and subsequently put myself into taxi-necessary condition.

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!

VFW Grant's Bivouac looks pretty much like it should have been back when it was a private club or whatever. A lot of old wood paneling and dingy atmosphere. The entire week has specials going on so you can always get cheap stuff. Coming in here it looks like going back to the 1950s in a Midwest bar. It's got lots of wood and we're talking about a lot. The walls are filled with community information and old war stuff. Kind of like a museum. There's a large drink menu featuring every special. A lot of these are for Bud Light. It's $2.50 wells on Wednesdays. Also you can get 6 packs to go. They also sell cigarettes if you're out of those. Got to check it out if you like old bars. It's open to the public. This is like a time warp 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.
