9 Best Cocktail Bars near Dubuque

“Good food and I have had mostly fast service there. I like that it is a peaceful sports atmosphere. Lots of nice tvs and good clientele. They have great wings that are very meaty, top notch french fries, Chicken sandwiches ate are good as is their taco salad.“

“Chill place without the college crowd. If you can grab a couch, the beer tastes even better!“

“New York and Detroit style pizzas. Both were cooked perfectly! We live about an hour away but it is so good it is worth driving the hour every time! Don’t think twice. Eat here! Our favorite is the fig pizza.

Also the service is always exceptional.“

“Went here for our anniversary/new years last night! First time being here, and had Mary as our server. She was one of the best servers we’ve EVER had! Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Definitely our new favorite place! Service, food, atmosphere! 🥂🙌🏻“

“5 stars – The PERFECT event space! I hosted my 30th birthday party at Gary Dolphin’s Iron Bar, and I truly can’t say enough good things. The space itself is incredible—versatile for any weather (which is huge in Iowa), cozy yet open, and full of charm with string lights and exposed brick. The staff went above and beyond—from the band to the caricature artist to the bartenders, every single detail was thoughtfully handled and perfectly executed. I felt so taken care of, and so did all of my guests. It was more amazing than I ever imagined, and I’ll be recommending this venue to everyone. Whether you’re hosting a celebration, a casual get-together, or a private event, this is the spot in Dubuque. Thank you again to the team at Gary Dolphin’s for making it unforgettable!“

“An Unforgettable Meal in the Old German Bank! We visited The Vault last Friday night with a group of friends and had a truly wonderful time. The atmosphere is absolutely divine—there is simply nothing like the experience of dining inside the historic Old German Bank! As for the food, I cannot recommend the Blackberry Bourbon Glazed Pork Ribeyes enough. They were absolutely amazing. In fact, the glaze was the total show-stopper of the meal; my only regret is that I didn't have a side of bread to soak up every last drop of it! The rest of our group was just as impressed. The Bang Bang Salmon Bowl and the Prime Rib French Dip were exquisite, and everyone left completely satisfied with their choice. To top it all off, our server was fantastic and had a great sense of humor, which kept the mood fun and light all evening. Considering the reasonable prices and the unique setting, I would highly recommend The Vault for your next outing. We will definitely be back!“

“Misty was so accommodating for our larger party. We were put in a private room which made celebrating my brother's birthday extra special! Our server, Jamie, was so wonderful! Super attentive, friendly, and efficient. Food was delicious, I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese! Even though the sides are a la carte, they are great portions so you still get value. I haven't eaten here in many years but I'm so happy to finally come back. I won't wait so long to return next time!“

“Diamond in the ruff. This place is off the beaten path a bit, but it's so worth it. Great service atmosphere and food. They even have little apartment rentals on the marina. We had a great time! The steak and mashed potatoes are out of this world. The Smash burgers are pretty good too! We had their donuts and ice cream for dessert. So good! They had someone that was singing and playing the guitar and she had a soothing good voice.“

“We had such a great evening @TSC. The resturant food, atmosphere and service was outstanding. A special thanks to Patty for giving us an opportunity to catch the sunset behind the skyline on the Mighty Mississippi.“
