    Great venue. Saw Jason Isbell here. Excellent sound and acoustics, reasonably priced drinks. Nice job!

    It is so nice to have a large venue that can bring in the concerts and I've attended many at this…read morevenue. But the one thing this place needs to get better at is the drink service. The length of time we spend waiting in line to purchase a drink is RIDICULOUS. Last night for Snoop Dogg I spent OVER 45 minutes in line for a beer. Unacceptable. And all the people waiting in line for a beverage creates massive congestion in the concourse.

    I drove 3 hours for a concert here and will not be doing that again. It's nice and clean but so…read moresmall. Security has no experience and any little thing will hold up the lines for a long time. Since it's so small, it's hard to get around without bump into others and spilling drinks. The bar staff is probably the worst part. You will be waiting for 15-30 minutes in line at a bar for $20 drinks that are nothing but soda (2 oz liquor 15 oz soda), if they get that right. I ordered a vodka tonic that the bartender asked about 4 times and each time it was wrong! You are guaranteed to miss 20-30 minutes of any performance if you decide to leave to get a drink. Seat is like being on a small plane, extremely tight and narrow. If you move suddenly you are bound to hit the people next to you. If you stand up, you'll be blocking everyone. And being seated will make your knees and back cramp. The only reason they get 2 stars is due to cleanliness of the building, $15 parking and the view from our seats which is due to the size. Otherwise expect Chicago prices and attitude.

    Cozy venue, cool vibes, and killer live music…read more The Raccoon Motel is one of those places that just gets it right. Tucked into downtown Davenport, it's a small, quirky venue that punches above its weight when it comes to live music. The room is intimate--perfect for catching up-and-coming bands or stripped-down acoustic sets that feel personal and raw. The vibe is chill and eclectic, with fun decor and a layout that makes even a packed show feel like a private experience. You're close to the stage no matter where you are, and the sound quality is surprisingly solid for the size. Drinks are fairly priced, and the bar has a good mix of local beers, cocktails, and whiskey. Staff is super friendly and clearly passionate about the music scene. There's no food served here, but it's easy to grab a bite at one of the nearby downtown spots before the show. Seating is limited, so get there early if you want a booth or a good standing spot. If you're into live music without the big-venue hassle, The Raccoon Motel is absolutely worth a visit. Cool crowd, cool bands, cool bar.

    Definitely a quirky hole in the wall! Everyone was pleasant, drinks were good, place was clean,…read moreand the music was awesome. It wasn't crowded and while the artist (Jason Eady) deserved a larger crowd, I absolutely love it when not many people show up to see an outstanding musician because it makes for an intimate show -- and this was. Definitely would go back!

    Hi Y'all it's me again your favorite tell it like it is reviewer. This one is a mixed bag for The…read moreGypsy Highway. Let's start with the ambiance. Formerly known known as The Rusty Nail. It located across from the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds on W. Lotus Street. They have a mixed menu of American and Thai dishes they offer. The Gypsy Highway's vibe is a cross between nostalgic late 70's, early 80's biker bar, live indoor/outdoor music venue, while being a full service restaurant and bar. They also have a small arcade in the back a few what look to be video poker or slot machines by the bar, 3 very large LED displays strategically placed around the bar and a massive projection screen TV on the indoor stage when nobody's playing. Sorry I didn't get to look outside at the wood fenced in area, where the wooden outdoor stage is. There is lots of seating and they even have dance nights, local bands perform regularly, and other events. Like when I went there was Trivia Night. This place has been a long time local scene in the West End of Davenport, IA for decades. Couple of the downsides about the atmosphere is the noise. It's Loud. For off hours and a Trivia Night, but not loud enough that you can't hear the person talking across a large round table ment for a party of 8-10 people. The amount of flashing lights in the place. If you have any issues with flashing lights you might not want to visit. There is not a single sight line place inside that does have some sort of constantly flashing light. Even lights that would have been of at any other venue or palace that host bands at their establishments wouldn't run strong stage color ambient lights on, especially those sitting behind a massive screen. Anyone sitting in the back and looking towards the stage (even though those seats not that many but unlucky) are in for a painful night out, if not there for a band. The food is 50/50 depending on what you get. Presentation wise I would give it 80 to 100%. I was with my family and got to try 4/5 dishes. They I had the Yellow Curry w/ Shrimp. I have to say it was really good. It was sweet and savory the Jasmine rice was delicious with it. My only complaint with the dish was it should have been served in served in a bowl of some kind and w/ some Naan bread to help clean the bowl at the end. Serving on a plate made the dish hard to eat. Next up Chicken Tinders and an order of Onion Rings. This should be avoided at all costs!! They look great, but have absolutely zero flavor and taste. That's hard to do when the batter is supposed to be Bear Batter. Same with the french fries. Next is a Cheese Burger w/ (+) Bacon and Onion Rings instead of the Fries. Well the burger was well made and delicious. The Bacon was thick crisp and 4 slices which was good. The replaced Onion Rings well that part gets worse. The count was a measly 5 and not even large ones at that! Last one I got to try was the blackens grilled fish. It was a fillet of haddock covered with some sort of white gravy served with a few pieces of zucchini and a couple of red potatoes halved. I didn't get to try the veg. The fish I did. By itself it was pretty good, but with the gravy it was not noticeably, not as good to almost being tasteless. The gravy overwhelms the fish and doesn't complement, nor enhance the flavor. The waitress we had was nice and answered our questions promptly. She did check in with us from time to time. Overall she gets a 9/10. Hope y'all like my review and read next time. Sorry no pics this time forgot my phone.
