Let's just say I was shocked at our bill after a few hours of hydrating and eating. The burgers are open-grilled and simply amazing. Glad I had it, but there are so many other choices to try. Friendly service, cold beers, and great food. So happy to indulge at a local venue.

Located directly across the street from the downtown Rock Island Holiday Inn, it's a easy stumble to the front desk and so much cheaper and authentic than the hotel bar. My first visit was late afternoon for a beverage after arriving in town. The bartender Tammy and owner Jeff were awesome with making me feel welcome and giving advice for dinner and attractions. My second visit was later that evening after Ubering back from across the river from a concert. A different bartender, but equally as talented in customer service skills ( I wish I could remember her name). A packed house with a mix of locals and people staying at the hotel - which mainly caters to traveling workers for the railroad. A perfectly cluttered and dingy dive bar that's been around many decades with prices that can't be beat. I would most definitely be a regular if I lived there.

This isn't your typical "burger and fries" joint. Smoked Gouda, caramelized onions and a wine sauce - on a burger - in Port Byron. It isn't over yet. Ghost pepper cheese served with jalapeños in reaper sauce - better have another beer ready to go. Overall, the food was excellent as was the service. Beer choices could please almost everyone - if not, there are plenty of whiskey choices. :-) I can't wait to go back to visit the other parts of the menu.

We stopped over in Le Claire for the night and tried to find a good place to eat. My son wasn't…read morefeeling Mexican but wanted a good burger place so we ended up going here based on reviews. Well, he went with 10 Fried Shrimp instead and enjoyed his meal. For an appetizer, we got cheese curds and those were pretty good! My mom and I went with the fried blue gill but they ended up being out of it! Super bummed! We ended up going with the fried cod and I wouldn't get it again. It was pretty hard and crunchy and not as good as the fish we have back home in Indiana. My wife got the burger and really enjoyed it. The bartender is the one who took care of us and she did a great job until a few more people came and sat at the bar. Then it went downhill. We were trying to pay with a credit card but she never came back for it so we left cash instead. When it comes to ambiance, this is definitely a bar. 100%. I probably wouldn't bring a family here (even though it's all ages-there are loud gaming systems) but I can see how it's good enough for the bar scene. So it is what it is. I wouldn't be back for the food though.

Blackhawk Bowl & Martini Lounge was a spontaneous stop during our time in Davenport, and it ended…read moreup being one of the most fun and unexpected highlights of the trip. We grabbed seats at the bar and started off with a round of drinks--Old Fashioneds and Martinis. Both were excellent. The bartenders here clearly take their craft seriously--my Old Fashioned was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and the Martini (classic gin, of course) was ice cold with a clean finish. Definitely not your average bowling alley cocktails. The space itself is a great blend of upscale lounge and casual fun. It's stylish without being pretentious, with a cool retro vibe and a welcoming crowd. We didn't bowl this time, but the lanes looked great, and it's definitely on the list for the next visit. The overall vibe was perfect for a laid-back evening with colleagues--plenty of energy, good music, and room to unwind without feeling rushed or crowded. If you're in Davenport and looking for a spot that mixes craft cocktails with something a little out of the ordinary, Blackhawk Bowl is absolutely worth checking out. Next time, I'm bringing my bowling shoes.

Have you ever bowled a 9 EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME?!?!?…read more Yeah, me neither. I did every single frame but one, which was a strike. How maddening. Had I not gotten that one strike I would have been convinced that one pin was glued to the floor. LOL. My company holiday party was held here on a Saturday night and we had a blast. (Note: the lounge is only open Wednesday-Saturday evenings, starting at 4PM.) Things that were great-- - The entire vibe. It had cocktail tables throughout and was perfect for mixing and mingling with coworkers. - Shoes. They weren't old and gross! Always a win in my book. - The convenience of having it at the bottom of the hotel and being able to partake/enjoy then just head up the elevator for a good nights sleep. - Pricing for walk-ins seems ok, $5 a game, $4 for shoes. (But call ahead and make a reservation and pay per hour at $35-$45?) - Staff. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. A couple things that wasn't on par-- - The food. We did a pizza bar and it was nothing to write home about. - As other Yelpers have mentioned, the cocktails were not that good. After having one martini I opted for an Aperol Spritz... and the bartender was reading the recipe off the back of the bottle. A for effort. - We rented the entire space for about four hours and half the lanes were out of order randomly? Kind of a bummer. - No Big Ten Network! - Finally, there was a sign that there was a private event at the entrance of the lounge but it wasn't posted anywhere on social. There were multiple groups that were kind of bummed to have driven there and parked to just have to go home. Overall a super fun time. I think if they made a few tweaks (updates, menu changes, etc) this place would be amazing. Overall, Blackhawk Bowl & Martini Lounge is worth a try!

The place is a lot nicer looking on the inside than the out looks with a nice exposed circular metal ceiling and kind of an industrial look with the wood and metal. The men's room has a keg for a pisser which was somewhat weird but kind of cool. There is a rail yard right behind the place so the name is fitting. I was after a cold craft style draft beer which they had a few and I don't even remember the names. I was amazed that the woman working the bar didn't know how much the beers cost and had to consult a menu before taking my money. I was only going to do one beer and since I didn't how much they were I slapped $10 on the bar, $4.75 for my dark beer. She grabbed the $10 and asked if the whole $10 was with her tip, no I'm not leaving you a $5.25 tip on my first beer, seriously. I decided to try another beer and I asked her to bring me the most popular tap, nothing domestic like Bud which she didn't really know so I said just pick something. I liked the frosty glass with each beer. My second beer must have killed the keg because it was kind of low in the glass or just a crap pour which I think is most likely what happened WTF. It's probably an ok place for a couple beers but I would check out some other places in town.
