quick to steel your money I told one of the three bartenders I was going to the restroom I left my seat for less than two minutes all my money was gone so was my drink and amazingly no body knows what happened but don't worry thy check the cameras and for some reason they can't see clearly who picked it up , I can't believe the Steamwheelers hang here what a bad experience totally robbed by the staff also have photos of the guilty staff if you have any questions please call me so I call prepare you 715-584-0296 and funny how no one will serve you after they robbed you similar to hookers and strippers read more

Last time I visited this bar a couple of years ago, it really wasn't that great and service was mediocre. Since moving back to the QC I decided to stop in and it is SO much better. I've gone a few times now and loved it. It is such great vibes, even when they are super busy they still take care of everyone (Shout out to Athena, Ani and Rylie). Drinks are delicious, service is great and love that every time I go in they are supporting the community (Toys for Tots, Local Dog Shelter, Holiday Hop...etc). They even have random local food trucks on weekends. Definitely worth a stop if in the QC or going to an event at The Mark (Vibrant Arena). read more

See all

This place used to be the best place on the Illinois side of the river. An easy 5 stars. You will notice ALL of the 5 star ratings come from over 2 years ago. It used to be my go to spot in downtown, but after the change of ownership it has gone downhill. Athena is always great and very good at what she does, but the other bartenders who work there could not care less about service and it shows. Went in recently and there were maybe 7 people there. Somehow I went ten mins without getting a drink as talking to friends was more important. It wasn't a one time thing either. Bummer. read more

Small bar, great mixed drinks, relaxing comfortable ambiance, fantastic sitting area outside.

Holy amazing!! Hot Liz the bar tender is out of this world beautiful!!! The owner Ashley is nothing short of amazing. The drinks are affordable and super strong. Bobby Lee Lee is the best bouncer ever. Absolutely the best bar in Moline. Please do yourself a favor and stop by for a great time!!! read more

Stopped by here for a couple of drinks on a rain Saturday afternoon before a wedding. They had a nice selection of beers. I had a local Ale and a High Life (sorry I am from Milwaukee). It was empty but we didn't mind after a 3 hour car ride from Milwaukee. The bartender was nice and told us of all the place to have a drink later if we were up for it after the wedding. Love getting the local scoop on things. It's in a kinda weird spot but we were lucky we found it next to the Stoney Creek Inn. If you need a quick drink and get the local scoop...Pub 1848 is a good place to start in Moline! read more

I've been to Pub 1848 twice now and have had positive experiences on both visits. Most recently with a small group right before Christmas. It was crowded but fun. The bartender, whose name eludes me, had a great sense of humor and was really nice. The mixed drinks were good and priced reasonably and there was a wide variety of craft beer available. 1848 is a great bar, well situated in downtown Moline. I'll definitely return and would recommend it to anyone. read more

For a new place, has a homey feel. The bartenders are really nice to look at and friendly. They even carry framboise Good times read more

They have an awesome beer selection! I don't think I've ever been here when they weren't busy. If you ask nicely, you can get a KCCO Black Lager! Mention the fact that you found it on the Chive and they'll serve it to you. read more

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, very laid back. Open Mic night every Monday is always a fun time, even just to come and listen.

Always a good time here. Great selection of bourbon and beers. Not the easiest to get to, but well worth it.

Great place, good atmoshere, great beer selection, cute and friendly staff ;) and to boot i got swag from a beer vendor that came around. Glad i checked in to try this place. I recommend it, and it had plenty of televisions to watch whatever sports youre into. read more

Omar makes the tastiest mixed drinks in town. Gotta check it out. It's actually clean up in here. You'll love it. Great atmosphere. Nice lights up on the ceiling. Come on in ask for the creamy surprise read more

Omar and Tyler are serving us great drinks while teaching us the game "Shut the Box". Great time. Game is on the bar. Come, learn. And have fun ! We are back and Tyler is mixing up Capris Sun drink for adults. It's a rum punch that equals the best ones I've had in Florida. So come down on a Thursday. Enjoy the music and have Tyler mix you up a bucket!!!!! read more

Great place, great vibe, with an amazing owner that gives it a personal touch. My husband and I love attending the last Wednesday Whiskey tasting. Ashley makes it so fun..combining education and entertainment with great food pairings. And the cost goes to charity. Also love the back and front patio spaces, perfect when the weather is nice. Check it out, you won't be sorry. read more

Pub 1848 - Pubs Near Me - Moline, Illinois

Very popular and fun place to go it's a great bar and have fun good drinks decent prices and it's always hopping especially on the weekends I would definitely recommend this place read more

Rude service! Bartender wouldn't accept my valid ID because it was vertical instead of horizontal... despite the fact that I'm 22 and my ID doesn't expire until 2020. After questioning the bartender on the policy she told me that she would serve me, but still tried telling me my ID wasn't valid. Very unprofessional service. Another male bartender made a rude remark towards me, and after that we walked out and won't be back. I recommend checking out one of the other nearby bars! They're much more fun and have great service! read more

I love this place! It is one of my favorite pubs in the Quad Cities. They've got tasty cocktails, an awesome staff and the great atmosphere is the perfect place to meet friends, always fun and upbeat! I love this pub because I know that I will get great service every time I go. The staff must love their jobs because they are always smiling! If I 'm ever in the mood to try something new I never have to worry because they have many types of craft beers, whiskies and my favorite tequila! Well Done PUB 1848! read more

Stopped after a concert at iwireless... Wall to wall people very small area limited seating /standing. Seemed like an ok place for newly legals... Walked in on two young ladies doing coke in the bathroom. read more

Cozy place but watch out for what they charge you for during the night.

This place has a great beer selection, and unbelievably superior service. One if the best experiences I've had sitting at the bar......

Beer was cold, nice building, wait staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Yummy sangria!!! Bartender was nice and friendly, atmosphere was comfortable, and yummy bloody Mary's!!!

Number 1 spot in the area. Had a blast last night the manager is so involved great people awesome dj. Would recommend this place to any one. Definitely going back on a regular basis. read more

This is the best bar in town! It's where I met my fiancé, and where we will always call home. From crafted cocktails to great beer, you'll not be disappointed. Bartenders are among the elite! read more

The spot to be in the Quad Cities on a Sunday thru Saturday night! Variety of drinks, crowd, and entertainment. Staff is extremely friendly! Open until 3 am so when every bar closes this is IT! Bar owner is very involved and takes care of her customers. Would recommend this to anyone local or out of town! read more

So I stopped in w a buddy on week night and owner was working and she was delightful. Great attitude and smile and allowed us to sample a couple beers. They even have bags game out front patio where you can drink and mingle as well. Good time/vibe. read more

Super friendly when they first opened it was an enjoyable place to frequent. I was one of the first to support the place on a regular basis. Wouldn't consider myself a regular anymore. Other places in Moline are friendlier. Now it seems quite the opposite, I think the owner and a few of their bartenders need some time off or better yet find another career altogether outside the HOSPITALITY industry. They tend to act like they are doing the customer a huge favor getting them a drink. I've seen this movie before, bar opens builds up a decent customer base, becomes popular, starts taking customers for granted, business eventually dwindles. Owner has become hubristic, a definite drama queen & the bartenders have become rude, angry and obviously tired of their customers. Not all the same bartenders from when they first opened. I only go if others in my group insist, now going forward I refuse no mas, I will go where my money is appreciated. read more
