17 Best Sports Bars near Eldridge

“Very old school local place. The bartender seemed to know the name of every person who walk through the door while I was sitting there for lunch. I ordered a burger and fries. The burger was not good. The price was right for what I got. Looks like a great place to hang out with friends and have a few drinks.“

“Great pitstop on my way from Chicago to Des Moines to remote work, drink, and watch the Women's World Cup game. Ideal service, nice drinks, fast wifi, best ambiance with music, many TVs, sangria special, and a cool fire pit on the patio.“

“It's a small bar. I always order ham and cheese Arabic bread sandwich. It's exquisite. They have decorated the walls of the place with a leaf design. Beautiful. Now it is called CUNCHIS, because whoever painted the G defined it that way...hahaha. . RECOMMENDED.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I hosted a surprise party this last Saturday there and would definitely recommend this place! The space was great! The owner was very communicative and was on top on the food. The food was great. The staff was on it getting drinks for everyone. Everyone said they had a great time! I would definitely have another event there.“

“My brother and I were traveling through on our way back to Michigan for Thanksgiving. We showed up and the staff was phenomenal, service out of this world and all of the food is made from scratch. Please do yourself a favor and come check this place out!!!!!!!!“

“Loved the bacon dressing on the Spinach salad. Soup of the day when we went was cheddar broccoli. It was very tasty and cheesy, but it was a bit salty and I was thinking it could have used more broccoli pieces. Added some black pepper, which cut the salt “

“I ate at the bar. The bartender was very attentive even though she was busy with drink orders for the restaurant. I had the prime rib dip sandwich with fries. The sandwich was very tasty with grilled onions and cheese on a nice roll. French fries were a bit cold and were not evenly cooked. Overall I enjoyed my meal. Service was top notch.“

“We visited rookies tonight for the first time and it was absolutely amazing!! Our bartender was Tarynn, who was serving and bartending and very on top of it! They had 6.99 double cheeseburger baskets which was the best cheeseburger ive had in quite some time and we got our 4 burger baskets in 20 minutes top!! We will definitely be returning and I definitely recommend trying this place, you will not regret it!“

“Just passing through town. Great service. Was met at the host stand on the spot. Sat at the bar. Bartender was fabulous. Wings tasted great. They do have a drink number policy which I was cut off at 2 shots, 2 big beers, and a pint. All good. I understand. This is a well run establishment.“

“This is really five stars for the Chef/cook being so friendly and making me an amazing burger with fresh cut fries. He made a point on checking on me twice. The four stars are for the bartender. She needs customer service skills. She needs to be friendlier to every customer that walks through that door. Every customer should be treated as if they are special. That's how you get people to come back make them feel welcome! Your cook had amazing customer service skills made me want to returnThe best bartender that ever worked there was Tara riggins She made absolutely every person that walked through that door want to come back the next night because she brought joy and excitement and fun to that place! This is when this place was amazing. Tonight I came in ordered a drink and food. I was there 35 minutes. I've had gastric bypass so I can not eat all my food. I asked for a box. The manager told me no. That I had to eat half my food. I explained my situation and still she gave me excuses. I said Kelly and the cook knew me. I showed her pictures. Why in the world would I need to do all of that and leave hysterical from embarrassment. Never should anyone feel like that ever. I'm not going to spend more money just bc I'm sitting in your bar. I came for dinner not harassment. She is the absolute rudest manager or person for that matter that I have ever ran across here. They have great food and atmosphere and no one should ever have to experience that. Ever.“

“Service was pretty good. We had multiple waitresses towards the end of the night. Definitely a cozy and homey bar to watch the game. They serve complimentary popcorn. The drinks were spot on and the pizza and food was great. Great bar food spot.“
