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.

Whether you're a local (especially a veteran for whom they encourage folks to buy them a drink), a fan of bison art or just passing through from Des Moines to Dubuque via the Amana Colonies as we were this is one Boondocks worth finding yourself. We had the soup of the day (corned beef and cabbage) can see why it's a favorite and an unbelievably delicious bison burger with sweet potato fries. Patrick was a great server keeping up with the bar and all of us in the restaurant with a great attitude and a big welcoming smile. The place feels just like where you want to be to get to know a bit more about the town. Lots to look at and enjoy.

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!
