“Food was great server was awesome despite how busy they were. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the consistency of the kitchen. My husband and I both ordered the same dish the molcajete and it was amazing but they presented it 2 different ways. Also our kids orders came out 5 minutes after ours not a huge deal but typically kids get served first and they ordered basic tacos.“
“Super chill spot, long bar or kick back at a table behind the bar. They also have a pool table and darts! Staff was great! They don't serve food but there's plenty of options in walking distance and cheap drinks can't beat it!“
“Great Quad Cities style pizza! Their sausage mushroom is delicious! I love the amount of toppings that they included. They are worth the cost! I would eat this pizza every single time I visit the Quad Cities, as we are from out of state. The quad cities has "ruined me" on many other pizzas in Ohio because they are so good!!! I heard this is the style that started it all, so it's worth a try if you're around here!!!“
“Excellent bar! I love the retro styled jukebox (which you can access via an app from your phone) the slots are great too! This bar is clean and the people are very friendly!The owner and staff go above and beyond to make your experience the best that it can be!The best part is it feels like home away from home!“
“Jose’s fajitas meal was amazing!! It’s not on the menu as it is a specialty item so ask for it. It was everything he described and then some. The staff was kind which made for a pleasant experience. Would absolutely recommend this place.“
“So glad we made the trip to Swannys! My wife and I ordered a large sausage & mushrooms pizza and it was fantastic! Fast friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping.Parking: Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“
“A DIY (pour your own beer) place. Really cool concept. Maybe first of its kind in the QCA. Downside, no longer can you try a beer for free. Good vibes and fun atmosphere. Also they have lots of games to try out. Most free, but some are arcade style.“
“Didn't have food but woulda gave it a 5 as well...best place in QC for everything!!!.. Ashley n Christine are the best ! Donnie n Lynn are the greatest owners, people and friends. They know what it's like to be real n how to treat you.. love you! ❤️“
“Our first time there and not knowing anything about this restaurant we showed up at 4:45 on Saturday. The server sat us pretty quickly in the very front corner booth. We were thankful to have a booth. They were busy. The menu had so many choices. The food was great and large portions. Our server sat us and told us she wouldn’t forget about us. I’m here to tell you she was the wonderful. She was so pleasant, always showed up at the right time, and knowledgeable of the menu. If you go ask for Tina. Well Done“
“Went there last night to meet some friends. Had an excellent dark beer and my wife had a glass of white wine. Nice atmosphere that could be enhanced by being a little warmer however. Service was very prompt and friendly. Like going there with out of town guests as well.“
“Stopped in for the first time last night. Joined a group already seated by the fire pit and I had mentioned to my group that my beer tasted funny, than a man got up and said please let me replace it. Turns out we sat by the owners. I still would of drank it and was a but embarrassed. We will definitely be back, staff was all friendly, the band was great and they have an amazing outdoor space. Thank you for the hospitality!!!!!“
“Best bar I’ve found locally in my opinion. Everyone is very knowledgeable on what they serve! They have an awesome wine selection and wine room you can buy from! My boyfriend loves the bourbon they offer! Its a little higher price but well worth it for the service and atmosphere. It’s quiet yet cozy and welcoming. 5 stars if you ask me!“
“Great small town bar, went there on a Friday night and the people were extremely friendly and the bartender was killing it with the service. The only thing is if you are 6'3" or taller watch your head when you walk in. Yeah, I hit my head on the beam.“
“This place is easy to miss entirely. A bar in a strip mall shared by a T Mobile store, a salon, and an FSBO homes outlet...if it weren't for the beer and liquor neon signs on the storefront, I'd have still been wondering what the place was. I guess Google maps helped too - they tend to be pretty accurate at identifying what businesses generally do.The overall appearance of the interior is not entirely cohesive. There's the normal mix of high top table seating and stools at the bar that's common at bars. The floors are a nice looking wood laminate - that was common enough, but clean in overall appearance. The lighting is also nicely done in the space - evenly dispersed incandescent or incandescent-like suspended metal fixtures are present throughout the space, providing a warm, low light level. The ceiling area, however, is fractured in overall appearance. The area behind the bar contains 2 x 4 foot drop ceiling tiles, while the rest of the drinking space is uncovered with visible wooden support frames, HVAC ductwork, and conduit.The area behind the bar is pretty interesting. The metallic or metallic-looking patterned tile were a neat accent, especially when paired with the yellow-orange strip lighting throughout. This also provided a nice way to partially illuminate the liquor bottles displayed along the bar.I was ready to order my standard Gin and Tonic and asked the bartender what their selection of gin included. She mentioned they had an orange flavored Tanqueray, what I've now come to understand was Tanqueray Sevilla Orange. This was something new for me, so I opted to try this in a Gin and Tonic. That was a good decision, as this is one of the best Gin and Tonics I've had in a while. The drink was smooth with light orange citrus notes throughout. If this is on offer when I'm out in the future, I'd definitely get this again.Probably not at The Q, though. I know I wrote some things about the ceiling that were a little picky. These aesthetic choices don't bother me severely - general ambient noise level does, however. The music was playing at a volume just above what I'd consider too loud. The effects were clear - the other 10 or so people in the bar were all talking far louder than normal just to be heard above the music. This is a big turn-off for me when places do this. I come out for a drink or two and some generally quiet conversation if I'm in a group. This place definitely wouldn't service this need.To be fair, The Q has a back patio area that wouldn't be feasible to use in the current winter weather. I'd consider visiting again in warmer weather and sitting in this area. In the meantime, I'd probably still stop in for a drink to wait for a significant other with a salon appointment or to shop for a phone if either of those specific scenarios were to arise. There's both TVs with sports and darts to pass the time.“
“We were looking for a good bloody Mary and found this place. I'm here to tell you the bloody Mary's were the bomb. There food and service is amazing. Amazing smoked meats. Definitely found a place me and my wife can road trip to again and again. Loved it! Thanks juniors!“
“Had a great time stereo speakers sound beautiful nice atmosphere you can look out the windows and see the rock river flowing by wood trees to go with it the first Sunday of every month they have a surprise drink you must try it it's fun“
“One of my favorite neighborhood bars! An old school atmosphere with memorabilia to remind you of all the good times. I love playing shuffleboard while there and the staff is awesome! Food never disappoints either so make sure to check out their specials!“
“Stopped in before leaving town, as I was in for an interview with a local company. Amanda was behind the bar and made it a great quick stop. She was fast, friendly, and had great information regarding the surrounding area. If I relocate, this will instantly be one of my go to locations.“
“Easy flow atmosphere with good selection of beers and booze. Small place but has a pool table and a couple slots. Honestly I dig this place a lot on certain days of the week. I'd tell ya which days but probably I won't. Yeah check these guys out. Worth it.“
“One of the best small town feel bars I've ever been to. The owners legitimately make you feel like family and their staff is superb, well trained, respectful, and knowledgeable. If this could be my home town bar I would be extremely happy! 12/10 highly recommend ?“
“My family rented their party room for Thanksgiving and it was a really great experience. Staff was super friendly and made sure that we had a good time. I definitely recommend this place for any get togethers you or your family need a place to celebrate at.“
“We were passing through Iowa and need to stop for the night... It was late and need to find a place to feed the our family quickly on a Saturday night(a day prior St Patrick's)... I let my fenamine child pick a place... Being a typical teen, she thought this place looks 'cool'... The woman related my marriage gave me a death stare for trusting a 'child' (she is 19) for our dinner fate... We got there roughly at 9:30pm...there were bars and happenings in the area... It was loud and lots lots of happiness... More death stare from... This place that we ate was Amazing! The food and service were just beyond our expectation for a bar?! We ordered the following: * Buffalo chicken dip(appetizer) * Blacken Fish Tacos * Sea Worthy Burger Let me say this without hesitation the appetizer has more originally and taste than any appetizers I have had in the past decade from any restaurant... My burger was a double stack cooked perfectly( medium rare - without being asked)... The fish taco was just devine - it has cut mangos! Look I know there are good restaurants out there... Seriously, this is by far the BEST food I have EVER EATEN from a bar... Did I mentioned they have live music? This place is a gem! Love to come back.“
“I had an enchanting evening at this beautiful and elegant restaurant. The Delmonico cut steak was incredibly buttery and juicy, creating a warm and homey feeling when paired with the delightful bread and assorted butters. The carpeted flooring exuded elegance, complemented by a coat check at the entrance and a welcoming smile from the waitress. The highlight was the breathtaking view of the moon, adding a touch of magic to the entire experience. A truly memorable dining affair.“
“Small music venue for live shows with plenty of vintage feel and charm. The custom cocktail for the show we went to was great. The bar which is next door has tons of rock memorabilia including guitars and photos of bands who have played the venue. The owner is super friendly and will regale you with great stories and the rest of the staff were very friendly. Great time!“
“My review is biased as this is the bar most of my friends visited growing up. It is a great local bar with friendly staff and stiff drinks. The pizza is the only thing I've eaten from the kitchen and is definitely worth trying. Get yourself a "doodler" (personal sized pizza big enough for 2-3 people) to try and you'll be hooked! I would love to rate it 5 stars, but I gave it 4 stars as the interior could be upgraded, but it is a bar after all.“
“I would give it five stars as it matures, by 4 is pretty dang good after going there during the break in period! Potential, that's what this restaurant has... and I believe it will fulfill if given the chance.... The chef is the Real Deal and the food is delicious! I will be keeping my eye on the pace as it has TONS of potential!!! I look forward to my next visit!“
“This is a great dive bar and is one of my favorite places to go. I am giving 4 stars because there is a bartender named Crystal that is hands down the worst bartender I have ever seen. She spends most of her time hanging out with her friends at either end of the bar. If you want a drink you have to flag her down or yell out her name. Her customer service sucks and so does her attitude towards customers. Big surprise she is the owner's girlfriend and it shows in her quality of work.“
“An old style restaurant which apparently lets people smoke inside if the restaurant. Went inside an it is very largr and can accommodate large parties or individuals. They have a few beers on tap and offer pepsi products for your beverage choice. Lots of burger choices for lunch. Went with the bbq pork sandwich which is topped with cole slaw and an order of fries. The bba sandwich was just ok the fries where very good. I would be willing to stop in again sometime.“
“Little bar and fairly new. Pretty quite with a crowd of regulars, you can actually have a conversation in this bar. Free shot if you're there at 11:17pm, somehow it inevitably never fails to get you talking to your fellow bar mates and having a friendly conversation you never intended on.“
“The owner, Chris, is a real bourbon connoisseur, and they have a great selection of hard to find, rare, and unique whiskies. I'm not quite sure about the rest of the store because I never made it beyond the spirit shelves! It was such a treat to find this place in Moline, and to talk with someone who has a true passion for whiskey. Make sure to stop by his bar two doors down called Central Craft where they have plenty of those same spirits to try, and several craft beers on tap.“
“Nice little tavern with lots of room inside doesn't look like it from the outside but it does shock you! The bar is all round in the center which is very cool! The bartender was very nice and met the other one as she was there to have a drink on her day off she was very nice! The prices are not real expensive for beers, mixed drinks, or shots! Was my first time being here and was very impressed! Live down a block and half from it and might become my little hot-spot to have a drink or two after a hard days work! Oh one more thing can't say the f word in there it's cuz its a heritage thing of theirs I don't mind cuz I don't use it that much!!! If you do you could be kicked out!!!“
“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 my 1st time visiting Crabby's. Went out with some friends for karaoke. Such a positive warming environment. Staff was great. Everyone was welcomed. Everyone had a good time. Looking forwards to the 2 hr drive to visit again soon. Keep up the good work“
“We went here, because it was wheelchair accessible, after not being able to get inside Creative Pastry down the street.Inside there are high table tops and a dimly lighting. We were the only ones there for lunch.The wait staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. The worker serving us was sweet and had good menu suggestions.Food was what you might expect from a dive bar but it satisfied us for lunch. ?We got a burger basket which was decent, chicken fingers (not a fan tasted of the pre-frozen variety) and the egg rolls (very tasty but greasy)Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly for entry but high bar- height tables. If you have a wheelchair that can rise up this won’t be a problem. ?“
