Used to come here to close out night, but after last couple experiences, no thanks. Particular last one where last call 45 minutes early, timing is no big deal, but I go up immediately and am told shots only, no other drinks with max attitude. They let few bad patrons effect their attitude and service to everyone else and left bad taste in our mouths. Without drinks, we were also told everyone had to leave 30 min early and wait outside in freezing cold waiting for uber while they let friends hang out inside no problem. Pretty much avoiding this place now because of it.

They have a rude bartender. Other than thatās good atmosphere but with a rude bartender ruins the whole vibe.

After sleeping in after my evening workout, I ventured out of my hotel room for some ārestaurants near meā, but the majority closed their kitchens an hour prior to closing and one didnāt even serve dinner although Google advertised that they did. Ms. Carrie came to the rescue and didnāt even rush me out after they closed their doors at 10pm. And the plus, their food was the best so far!
Ordered a beer. Cost $5.00. Gave him a twenty. Got back $14.00, asked if he charged me a $1.00 tip. He said no, you gave me $5.00.So if I gave you $5.00, for a $5.00 bill why did you give me $14.00 change?I was goingg to give him a $1.00 tip. But the fact that he kept it regardless pisses me off.I will NEVER step foot in there again. I don't need to be ripped off by the bartenders.YES, IT WAS ONLY A DOLLAR. But if it a dollar for every transaction, that can add up to.a lot.Pay attention to your bill.

We didn't stay because they didn't have a normal table that a guy in a wheelchair could use. They laughed and said they had lower tables outside. It was pouring down rain. Bunch of jerks.

A Night at O'Keefe's: Where Ribs Take Center Stage and White Bread Steals the Show
Imagine this: a nondescript evening turns into a culinary roller coaster, much like a high-society gala where Aunt Mildred's pearls turn out to be fake, but her scandalous affairs are all too real. O'Keefe's, the enigmatic outdoor dining venue, beckons the gastronomically adventurous to its fold.
As I sauntered in, I was greetedāwell, eventuallyāby a chef whose thousand-yard stare could rival any overcommitted debutante questioning her engagement. Ah, the beauty of an artist lost in existential thought; I felt right at home.
Ordering ribs seemed like a safe betāuntil it wasn't. Was the meat good? Yes. Four out of five stars, if one must quantify culinary prowess. But as anyone who has walked into a gala wearing last season's couture knows, good just doesn't cut it when you can do better yourself. I guess that would be a matter of opinion too. So, who knows the truth? Not I, so, I too must try harder.
And speaking of doing better, the sauce! Ah, that sauceāa Venegas-inspired creation, perhaps? It was as enigmatic as a dowager countess with a dubious past. The chef might have been contemplating his life choices, but his sauce had already made its choiceāto be the belle of the ball.
Yet, the night's most tantalizing surprise was a slice of plain white bread. Much like a debutante with a secret talent for pole vaulting, this bread flew under the radar, only to dazzle when dipped in that mysterious sauce. The combination was the gastronomic coup de maƮtre of the evening.
Would I return to O'Keefe's? Yes, but with the bar set sky-high by a single piece of bread, the chef has his work cut out for him. Can he deliver a dish that elicits an "Oh my gosh, I can't do that at home?" Only time, and perhaps another contemplative gaze into the abyss, will tell.
So, the next time you're craving an adventure in the form of meat and sauce, consider O'Keefe's. Just be prepared for a humble slice of bread to upstage the main act. After all, isn't that just like life among the upper crust?

Is one of my favorite places in the quad cities?They have a large selection of beer. IPA's logger's stouts. They even have a few slots, but not overrun with them.They keep all my favorites.And constantly bring it in new flavors and vendors. To get a chance, definitely check it out.If you get a chance, stop it and check it out.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp in the back That leaves table outside As well as they can enjoy the evening
