8 Best Pubs near Dubuque

“Derick was awesome. Quick with a joke and remembered everyone's name. Food was GREAT. Literally one of the better burgers I've had. The Road King on the menu. Bacon, homemade Cole slaw, topped with homemade buffalo sauce. Ordered mine with waffle fries which were cooked perfect. Recommend, recommend, recommend. A little dark, and kinda warm in there but I'm old so....“

“Great atmosphere.. Amazing bartender, she was super friendly and on point😁.. definitely be back again.“

“Friendly service, a lively atmosphere and quality drinks make this a great place to check out if you’re in the area. Darts, pool and other table games abound at this establishment. The outside decor doesn’t match the inside, but don’t be deterred. Check this place out if you’re in the area.“

“We decided to try this restaurant to celebrate our Anniversary. The restaurant is not huge but didn't affect the food or service. Joe (owner) was friendly and on top of serving our food. I requested an old fashion to drink. Being A Wisconsin drink he didn't have that. But he said if I could tell him how to make it ,he would do so. I suggested him to Google it. Anyway it definitely passed!!! The food we selected was very plentiful, and I came away with A,takeout of my leftover pork hock. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. I'd recommend making A,reservation.“

“Went to The Lift to listen to my son's band, Rafterbat. The atmosphere was cozy, dark, basement vibes with lots of visual appeal and interesting nooks and crannies to hang out in with pool and darts available. The people were chill, and bartender knew his stuff. He saved my ass by mailing me my forgotten debit card. Def check out this place for their amazing live music!“

“Visited this restaurant for the first time on 9/16/2024 and found it very good in every way. We were seated fairly quickly and given menus and put in drink orders right away. Had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque combo = great choice. The sandwich had cheddar cheese, applewood smoked bacon and tomatoes on whole grain bread, totally delicious, and the soup was good, too. Others in the party had the Baja Tilapia Tacos, the chicken tender salad, and a burger. Everyone was very pleased and our server was very attentive.“

“We stopped at The Barrel House on our way thru Dubuque. Food was great, but our waiter Travis was outstanding! Very nice young man who did everything you'd want a great waiter to do! His mom raised him right!!!“

“Fun times here! Will stop again.“
