50 Best Bars near Eldridge

“Love this place & great place to work! ❤️“

“Great homestyle food, ample portions, friendly staff, great value!“

“Great place just watch out for Gladys. And as for that other review you dont bring your own beer to a bar as you do not bring food to a restaurant. It’s disrespectful.“

“I kept seeing posts for the Bloody Mary on their Facebook page so I took a road trip to Eldridge Iowa and tried the quart sized option and it was awesome!! The waitress was equally as awesome!! I’ll be back for more!! 😊“

“Excellent food and excellent service!“

“What great space with great people! We stopped by after the Reindeer Rambler 5k. It was so cute, cozy, and festive! The bartenders were so sweet, and the vibe is it! It was a beautiful day outside for December and we got to sit outside by the fire pit. The outside is just an inviting as the inside. 10/10 will be back“

“Food is a 10 out of 10, service is a zero out of 10. Our service was Maddie and she needs to go back to waitress school. She is absolutely horrible, if I knew she was going to be my waitress the next time I went I would never go again. I could go into everything that she needs to improve on but not going to waste my time.“

“One of my favorite places to go, fun and friendly atmosphere and great service. The owners are amazing people.“

“Fun spot to hang out! Plus check out The Full Nelson Catering and Food Truck debute at The Q!!“

“10/10 place and bartenders“

“Just had the Ribs and baked beans again. Fall off the bone ribs with amazing sauce. The baked beans must be the best on this planet.“

“Open jam Wednesday nights. It's a fun place to unwind or wind up. Whether you're just stopping in for a drink or night cap, or to let loose and socialize this place is highly recommended by me and plenty of my friends/acquaintances. Stop by any day or night of the week to check out the bar, video gaming machines (maybe you will get lucky), and enjoy the patio. Patio has plenty of seating and standing room, and some fire pits to warm up next to if you get chilly. The patio fire pits also provide a little more ambiance to the outdoor vibe... If you show up on a Wednesday night you will be guaranteed (by yours truly) to see and hear a decent live performance by some local up and coming artists, and some locals who just love playing live music in front of a great audience. Stop by and show your support“

“You’ll be hard pressed to find kinder, more skilled bartenders in the Quad Cities. Their patio is ideal and their old fashioned recipe is my favorite. Management works hard to keep both their staff and their patrons safe and comfortable. They’ll even hook you up with a pup cup for your pupperino.“

“Great hospitality last night at M lounge“

“Really nice atmosphere. Very nice bartenders. Bathrooms very clean & even have cell phone holder!! Great live music. Beautiful outdoor patio with fireplace. Only suggestion would be to add some baffles in the ceiling to help with noise. Fun place, recommend!!“

“Anthony is the best mixologist anywhere. The menu is five star. Charcuterie served for 2,4, or 6. Whatever you do, don’t eat before getting there. Gary & Patty.“

“karoke with robert , 🎤,the food&bargirls,allens ok too😁“

“Only good thing about this place is the view. Went last night to celebrate a birthday and I spent more time waiting for my beer than being able to sit down and enjoy my time. 10+ minute wait for a beer with only 5 People around the bar is pretty ridiculous. Needless to say I was pretty upset by the end of the night.“

“Great place! Have gone there for years and always treated great!“

“Haven't been down there in many years but tbh I never personally thought it was a bad bar from what I've noticed. The west end can sometimes have some real clowns hanging out in those bars down there but I never really did see this at the nickel at least when I was down there.“

“Great wine and bourbon. Highly recommend!“

“Great atmosphere and good drink specials ?“

“It was karaoke night. The place was hopping. Bartenders were busy. We had an amazing time. Service was great and everyone was friendly. I accidentally left my credit card behind when we left. With one quick phone call, they returned my credit card via USPS in just a couple of days. If I'm ever in the area again, we'd love to stop by again.“

“You can't go wrong. The food is so good. My husband usually gets the tenderloin. It's HUGE, but more importantly, it's DELICIOUS 😋. I've often had the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap....sometimes the shrimp, but last night I had the Rueben sandwich. Like everything else... HUGE and DELICIOUS.!!! The BEST Rueben I've ever had. ❤️“

“It’s the kind of place where everyone fits in! Friendly bartenders and an overall fun environment!“

“Love this place! Great football spot.“

“Love the PARTIO, Bartenders and the Vibe“

“We were in from out of town for a concert on 6/11 and wanted to go have a few drinks at a smaller bar so I typed in dive bars and this little place popped up so we gave it a try. This place did not disappoint! We were introduced to horse betting from the locals, (thanks Beau) and had a good bartender (thanks Josh) and all around a great time. Good laughs, cold beer, won some $ and had a few shots! Everyone one was very friendly and we will def be back to visit again!“

“Nice bar reasonably priced!“

“They put L.S.D. in the drinks to keep everyone awesome here. Granted it is only my opinion, but what else causes persons from all walks to have conversations about the defunct History Channel show "Top Shot". It WAS awesome.. Shake my hand sir. Good selection of chips, but the bags smell like pastrami.“

“Everything The Stadium Club rocks I consider Russ great friend AND------ he supports my favorite non-profit Big Brothers Big Sisters!“

“I enjoy this place every time I come. Love the variety of music the customers play, the fantastic drinks the girls serve up, and the clean atmosphere! Always a place to sit even when packed (inside and out)“

“I like the crowd of people. Also my husband play pool there on Tuesday night.“

“It's nice to have MLK day off from work - three-day weekends are great from school, and their just as good in adult life. After a day spent largely across the river in Rock Island and East Moline, I took a rest at home. I needed a night cap and some dinner however. What better way to accomplish both of those things than a quick trip out to a nearby bar?I have no other reason to traverse Central Avenue in Bettendorf. I live within a 5 minute drive of Central Ave Tap, but I don't need to visit Neil Armstrong Elementary, nor is there anything else along the road for me to visit currently. I've driven by before on my way to visit friends that live in the area, just never stopped in here ever for a drink or food. Well, that changes tonight - I needed a gin and tonic and a burger before bed!There's not too much to say about Central Ave Tap. Its a bar in the bottom half of a building all to itself. There're two pool tables, a few dart boards, and a long bar that runs the whole length of the space. Newish wood laminate floor covers most of the inside, as does the newer looking drop ceiling. There's a TouchTunes jukebox along the wall - one of the new variety that lets anyone with the corresponding phone app play anything they like with the touch of a button from their phone. Suffice to say, the space is well maintained and clean.I settled at the bar on my visit and got my gin and tonic to start. They only had well gin - Fleischmann's I think? - it was fine, made a good G&T. After a quick perusal of the menu, I settled on a burger and fries, both of which I got to watch the bartender prepare right from my seat at the bar. This was a new experience for me - the stove and, really, the entire kitchen area are right there, unsegregated from the rest of the space, to watch as you please. It was actually kind of neat, plus the food came out super fresh.I enjoyed both the burger and fries. The burger was a simple pre-formed frozen patty, but it tasted fresh all the same. The fries were crinkle cut, fried to crispy perfection. The total portion size was exactly what I needed for the evening - not too much, not too little.Given a similar urge, I'd come back here for another burger. It felt kind of weird just randomly coming here. The space had the distinct feeling of being a local pup, a sort of common space for mostly those that lived close by. I hope I didn't intrude much. It's definitely a nice space. Thanks Central Ave Tap!“

“Awesome burgers !! Great people!! Thank you !!☘️“

“I hosted a surprise party here on 10/4/25 and after booking and a miscommunication happening the manager, Calvin was very helpful and took the initiative to prepare the brunch area for me and a group of 30 guest at the last minute. From the bar service with the bartender to our server, Sophia who was just the sweetest and most patient waitress I have ever experienced in such a large group setting everything made this experience a 10 out of 10. Sophia, you rocked it girl! I appreciate you taking on the whole party and giving us all of your time and attention. Thank you J Bar for helping me to celebrate a special birthday and giving us top tier quality service from start to finish! WE WILL BE RETURNING! P.S: Order the Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Fries and it was AMAZING!!!!!“

“Food was excellent, and beer top notch! Service was outstanding!“

“bar tenders are amazing ND the atmosphere is great.“

“Love it!! It’s a great atmosphere!“

“Great place to chill and shoot some pool. Be careful though .... The legendary Duane Shark Bait Tedford will school you on the table . he buys u a beer or 2 as he cleans house. Ddog 4 Life.“

“Great local bar with fabulous bartenders, regulars and prices. I was in town for a wedding and a quick google search led me here. Tina and Eva (I believe) took such great care of me, the drinks prices were more than reasonable and the regulars made me feel right at home! I would definitely visit Davenport again just for this place!“

“First time visiting and it was overall a pleasant experience. The service and food was good. The spice level is difficult to determine. We both ordered medium spice. My dish was too spicy, but the other dish was not. We will be returning to try again.“

“free hot popcorn cheap beer and liquor awesome shot selection and a homy vibe great pool league shout to Marcia Newton. I definitely recommend coming here for a cold one and a great pool game or darts and a bouns to sit next to a fire pit in summer nights and cold winters 🥶“

“Nice vibe for sure I enjoyed the service and cleanliness. One thing I could bank on is that I definitely did better at The Lone Wolf then in the casino, hopefully they get back to even running side by side so we can keep are tabs paid up with all the big winnings. Thanks Lone Wolf!“

“One of our favorite places to come for some cold beers, good wine, and great time !!“

“Great burger and chip basket“

“I had never heard of Tony's until they opened the new location in Bettendorf. Talk about good food! I'm a huge fan of Chicago style pizza. I was sad when the Davenport Godfather's closed. And I hate driving all the way to Silvis to order a pizza and then eat it lukewarm after I finally get home. This hits the spot. And breakfast? You couldn't get that at a Godfather's. The wait staff are really friendly and helpful. Latisha was my server, and she was great. It was like she could read my mind when I needed her. The prices are reasonable, and the food is excellent. 5 stars!“

“Great food. Very clean. Very affordable. Staff are very attentive and welcoming.“

“Burgers were actually *really good*... I went back for more. The frozen drinks are perfect for the hot summer. Good DJ, responsive to the crowd and playing music that keeps it fun.

The place is clean, spacious, comfortably lit. You could have fun coming here alone, or with a big group.

Service was friendly and fast.“
