“Our front desk clerk at the Hotel Julien recommended this place upon our evening arrival in Dubuque. She said it was walking distance rom the hotel, had good burgers, and was filled with taxidermy. We couldn't resist that description--quirky is right up our alley. And we weren't disappointed.\n\nIt was really close to the hotel, the burgers were amazing (and inexpensive), but that taxidermy was off the charts! Animal heads lined the walls on both sides of the bar, and while that normally creeps me out, it seemed to work in this 77-year-old bar. Apparently the former owner (the actual "Paul" of Paul's Tavern) was a big game hunter on the side, and bagged these creatures in the 1950s and 60s.\n\nI'd definitely return to once again join this very eclectic crowd.“

“This hidden gem is worth the trip. We went on a Friday. He had the special of steak and shrimp, it was great. Steak and shrimp both cooked to perfection. I had the crispy chicken sandwich, it was crunchy and the bun was fresh. We took a BBQ Chicken pizza to go. It reheated very well in the oven. If done correctly, the crust was crunchy and the cheese melty. The toppings were plentiful and the taste is excellent. It has country rural vibe with friendly staff and a good selection of drinks and beers. Highly Recommend!!“

“Small bar located inside of a power sports store. They have really good lunch specials & breakfast every Sunday. They are PACKED for breakfast, so get there early to get faster service! The portion sizes are very big and you always get to take home left overs! The prices also cannot be beat, but make sure to bring cash. They do not accept any cards.“
“This is great tavern to go to, no issues. Hard to find a tavern like this these days.“
“Big Cat Eddie was amazing and the young man helping us fantastic!“

“Friendly service, a lively atmosphere and quality drinks make this a great place to check out if you’re in the area. Darts, pool and other table games abound at this establishment. The outside decor doesn’t match the inside, but don’t be deterred. Check this place out if you’re in the area.“

“Small is beautiful AND delicious! We absolutely recommend this quaint little coffee shop. We ordered drip coffee, hot chocolate, a chocolate croissant and a cinnamon roll. All of it was great delicious especially the chocolate croissant which was fresh and deliciously flaky. So glad we went there instead of Starbucks.“

“Fat Tuesdays is little New Orleans ,but alot better you have all your family and friends with the best Cajun food just like the bayou so you need some great company or maybe just a Hurricane, you will leave with a smile.“
“Hey misty i think you reviewed the wrong bar!! There are never and i mean never fights at R Place. This is a locals friendly bar with lots of friendly people and a friendly owner as well. I think you must have been reviewing the cave..that is the only bar in east dubuque even i stay away from. Google or someone needs to remove mistys post.“
“The atmosphere was nice, like a sports bar, service was great. I had ordered a pesto chicken sandwich. Ended up with a pulled pork and pickle sandwich, first pic with fries....then they remade it but not sure about the pesto, unless Q pesto is white idk, it was ok but nothing to write home about. The waitress did comp my meal, but still not sure about the chicken pesto, 2nd set of pics.“
“Awesome bar with great bartenders.“
“Just stopped for a casual beer, got insulted by 3 older gentlemen who say they are there every day. One says he is offended by a shirt some one is wearing at the bar. He wanted them to take it off. I informed him it is freedom of speech, We are in a bar. The shirt had the F- word on it. It got so bad that my wife was told she has no brain between her ears. My wife is a veteran of 2 different branches of the military. These guys were tyrants.I would stay away from this bar!“
“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!“
“We Just celebrated our Grandson's high school graduation at Backpocket in the Driftless Cellar and it was superb. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect and the service was excellent!

“ALWAYS a great time....Lara is the best bartender EVER!! Thanks for the excellent service!!“
“Great atmosphere and loved the karaoke!“
“Being the number one restaurant in all of Dubuque carries some weight, however only part of our meal was exceptional or at that level. The butter nut squash. With pear pizza. was extremely interesting and tasty the spinach Caesar salad extremely good the pepper steak soup depth with flavor and nicely done however, the Mediterranean pasta is extremely lacking flavor, taste, etc. this is why the rating is lower than we expected. The entree did not meet a level of number one. The white staff was extremely friendly, but kept forgetting to replace silverware. Hence a number one rating just cannot be excepted.“
“I love Steve’s pizza! I have been going since 1969. Yes, 55 years! My sister took me when I was 5. My favorite is the Canadian bacon and green olive. It’s thin, it crispy, it’s cut into squares, and it is delicious.“
“Always very friendly atmosphere and the bartenders are efficient. I was here for a group riding event and the staff was extremely friendly and there was no long wait times. It had a very small town feel and the regulars had lots of fun stories.“
“great place! Great bartenders!“
