7 Best Cocktail Bars near East Dubuque

“Stopped by Millennium Marina tonight for their $1 burger night and was seriously impressed.

I had two Old Fashioneds, a double-patty burger (happily paid for second patty), and an order of their beef tallow fries. Everything was excellent. The burger was hot, fresh, and packed with tasty flavor, super juicy. The fries were crispy, delicious, seasoned oh so well, and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The Old Fashioneds were absolutely wonderful too. Some of the best I’ve ever had. And I’m picky about my Old Fashioned.

What really stood out was the atmosphere. The other customers were cool as hell, everyone was friendly, and it felt like the kind of place where people actually enjoy being there. I didn’t even eat outside tonight either. I’m sure that has a whole other level of amazing ambience with how nice the weather has been lately.

Sam runs an amazing business. She’s family-oriented, involved in the community, and it shows in how the place is run.

Great food, great drinks, great people, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.

I’d give them 10 if I could!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I have NEVER had a bad meal there. Because I've been there so often, I always request the same server and gotten to know her personally but she still is always professional such as letting us sample the wine before pouring full glasses, etc. It is worth every penny in my opinion!!!!“
