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!“

“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! 🥂🙌🏻“

“Came from the Twin Cities and honestly, Driftless Pizza is better than any of the pizza I've had up there.

I got the small tie die Detroit style - absolutely phenomenal and a lot of food for the price. Really couldn't have been improved in any way in my view - delicious pie.

Dubuque is really impressing me culinarily- really punching above its weight. 5 stars.“

“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!“

“Woodfire Grille was amazing!! The host was ready and prepared with a smile on her face, our waitress was so smiley and genuinely happy to serve us which set the tone so well! Employees are amazing, the food was just as wonderful! Definitely a perfect place for a date night!! Low lights, restful, and very intentional!“

“We were pleasantly surprised with the house-made nachos, fries, and pork tenderloin sandwiches. The service was great, but the chairs were a little uncomfortable, and it got noisy around 6:30 on a Friday with a full house. We'll be back for an early dinner or brunch--the menu looks great--soon.“

“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.“
