I can only speak for the women's restroom but in the past they were on the rough side. They have been redone and look great. They do a great job of keeping the bathroom and the bar clean. When you get the wrong bartender and you aren't a regular they do get at making you feel out of place. When you are out trying to have a good time your shouldn't have to dread going up to order another drink. On the other hand if you get the right bartender I would say the overall experience is great. They have a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They also have a small selection of food you can purchase. I know for sure chips and pizza. On top of having plenty of pool tables they also have darts, gaming machines, and slot machines.

Parking can be tough because it had the restaurant next door drive ways taking up space but I got a spot.

I had my one cocktail which was cold and refreshing and I went on with the rest of my day.

Service was great!…read more Food was meh. The fries weren't salted and were dry. The entres were bland - 1/4lb hamburger was cooked well done without asking how we preferred it cooked. High price for quality and quantity. Entres were fine price but lacking on the pizazz. The appetizer was expensive - I got 8 cheese curd sized "Mac and cheese bites" for $9... 3 tables were sat, one didn't even order food and left, the other table had two people and ordered before we even got there... We waited almost an hour for our food.

I had called asking for a quote as I needed this for insurance to move forward with getting my pool fixed. I sent in multiple photos of my pool and was told they would send someone over in the next week to check things out and get me a quote. 4 weeks later after not hearing from them I reached out again to the company and was was told that they would not be willing to do my pool as they can't find a excavator that would come to my place to remove and replace the concrete. I know excavators in my area that I could have set up to work on the pool if needed. I had already had a concrete contractor set up to remove and replace the cement. They never once even came out to look to see what actually would have to be done. I'm also not sure why they were looking for contractors when I know companies in my area that would take care of the excavating. I just felt like they should have told me off the bat they didn't want to do my pool instead of having me wait for something I feel like they never were going to do.

Not sure why they have a big sign that says Family friendly dining! Completely opposite of that and…read moreI will also disagree with the bloody Mary's. Not the best in town either. Family and I decided to check out galena for the first time and decided to check this place out since the galena brewing company was closed. Not sure why because the sign said open and it was 11:15 am. The food here was alright, wings didn't come out with the celery and we felt rushed. We asked for menus and he said we needed to wait till after 11 am! It was 11:15 am lol. Food is nothing to brag about, but it did the job after a 3 hour drive. I should've read the reviews before going into this place. Not a top choice if we go back. Be aware this place only takes cash and checks. No credit card payments. Found that out at the bar when I had to go pay my bill because the waiter didn't mention anything! Lady at the bar said the ATM is at the front. Terrible way to start a Galena visit. Here are some pictures of our food and hopefully this place has better management and nicer staff.

With this restaurant being located in such a charming little town such as Galena, IL, I was a…read morelittle disappointed in the service. From the get go, the lady taking our order was in a bit of a rush. My family was with me and we had a couple questions regarding the menu. I felt that our server's response was abrupt and felt like she was brushing us off to get to the next customer. The food was meh. I mean it wasn't terrible but it was pretty basic. The hubby got a cheeseburger, my daughter got the grilled cheese meal, and I got the buffalo wings. The menu said that celery and carrot sticks came with my order but I just got the wings. When I was able to finally flag down our server to inquire about my veggie sticks and dressing, she said "oh we're out of those" and was about to walk off until I quickly asked her what about the ranch? She then quickly pointed to the little square ranch container that was in the middle of the table. I mean maybe offer other things to accommodate for what's missing or at least tell me that off the bat would have been nice. We pretty much just ate our food and was ready to go right after. The name Paradise Bar & Grill is an oxymoron as we did not feel like we were in paradise.

Alas, I only learned of it in time to get a doubleshot of espresso in the morning on our way out of town. Set in an old home in the historic district in downtown Dubuque and right around the corner from the Fenlon Elevator; Monks is the real deal in old school neighborhood vibe. With full coffee and alcohol menu, live events and front porch seating; Monks would surely be a regular spot for me if I lived here, and top of the list whenever I return.
