“Cute tavern with small booths. We popped in just for the Mac and Cheese. It was creamy and delicious. The menu offers something for everyone. The service was swift, and the food came out hot. There are so many unique decorations to look at.“

“Great selection of draft beers. Great atmosphere. Perfect place to hang out before or after any event at Vibrant Arena.“

“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.“

“Need a new craft beer to try? Then you need to check this place out! Retail and unique crafts on tap with a zen atmosphere to boot! Have loved this place for years now...they have something for everyone and the knowledge of their staff will help you find it!“

“Very good food and a great atmosphere“

“Bootleg Hill is cool & chill! Listened to Patrick Moore perform, (so the place has to be amazing!) This place brings in local talent for open mic. I hear the Mead is awesome! I had a couple of NA options. Good drinks, good service, good vibes! Definitely support these guys! This place is way too cool to turn it into a sports bar. I’ll def be back.“

“We experienced a last minute issue on the day of a show and John and the Raccoon Motel team was so great at accommodating us. We loved the venue and will absolutely be back.“

“One of the most authentic Mexican restaurants. We’ve tried most of them and keep coming back to Los Portales. It’s really hard to say what’s best…“

“We ate there for our first time today. The service was great and the food was so delicious! We ordered the paella del mar and seafood chimichangas. We will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is a 10 out of 10, service is a zero out of 10. Our service was Maddie and she needs to go back to waitress school. She is absolutely horrible, if I knew she was going to be my waitress the next time I went I would never go again. I could go into everything that she needs to improve on but not going to waste my time.“

“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!!!!!“

“Great place! Have gone there for years and always treated great!“

“Place is awesome! Seems a lot of locals like the place. Always a good sign. Tammy was a great server. She even interdicted me to the local patrons as they sat down around me.I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon fries and I chose coleslaw. All three were great! Tammy said she made the slaw herself. Very good! If you staying across the street this is a must to walk over and give it a try. If I was here longer I’d be back another night for sure.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great wine and bourbon. Highly recommend!“

“Great selection of pinball machines, weak selection of arcade machines. Pinball machines cost 3 tokens, arcade machines cost one. Nice beer selection. Unlike the Milan location, this one doesn't offer food so I don't know why Google wants me to rate that.“

“We met the charming Billy, warmed up with the chicken n dumpling soup, fell in love with the bison burger and grilled cheese sandwich and promised ourselves to come back soon to do it all again.“

“fun, friendly and great karaoke!“

“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!“

“Good little bar. They do exactly what you would expect, plus a little more. Drinks are well made and bartenders are happy to experiment when a customer desires it. Cant complain on selection. Location is great, especially for ppl staying at the black hawk.“

“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“

“Three33 is one of my favorite places to go! The open view of the river creates a cool vibe, the people are amazing and the food is made with love. I have a wheat allergy and there are lots of gf options including THE BEST gf bun I’ve ever had! LOTS of options for everyone, and it’s ALL WONDERFUL!!!!“

“The waiter was great they didn't have the steak for my meal they gave me extra as a replacement. I waisted my drink in my rice and beans and they gave me more at no extra cost. He gave us a complimentry shots... the customer service was amazing“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Came in for Mobster Mary Sunday. Last Sunday of the month. Let me tell you this place is amazing, get there early if you want a seat! Hanna behind the bar is so AWESOME! All the staff is wonderful! 100% love this place. We come here for the Mobster Bloody Marys and on St Pats day for the food. Special menu delicious. Definitely recommend Maloney's in Eldridge amazing food and even better drinks.“

“All good bartenders and beer is always cold“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Delicious and such big sandwiches!“

“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.“

“Great service! Fun Friday night ☺“

“Awesome food! Very knowledgeable about dietary needs and conditions.“

“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. ?“

“I can not say enough about this place. They make you feel like family. They make sure you’re comfortable and treat you like a regular always. It’s clean and has a favorite of FREE snacks and other food for purchase. They have weekly drawings and slot machines for anyone who’s looking for a little extra cash“

“Great place to go before any event at the Adler Theater! Great food, service and atmosphere!“
