“Checked out this second location of a cool brewery in downtown Rock Island. It's mostly about the beers, but you can order from the food trucks that come to the parking lot. Bent River has a couple locations, with the other one in Moline. Probably the choices are better at that, but this one is better for live music and events. The prices are pretty comparable to other craft breweries it seems. A lot of times it's busy. It's especially busy on weekends and when there's live music. There's a large draft selection. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty good for local beers, so we got a few of these. Best of these last time here was the Q.C Haze, a hazy IPA. It's a strong ABV at 7.1%. There's also a pretty okay food selection. It's about $8 for shareable appetizers. The Chips And Salsa are good with anything to be honest. Great brewery that's also a restaurant where they also cook everything. It has many items as far as beer and food. The food is mostly limited to food trucks, but there's stuff like brisket and pretzels.“
“Its a low key spot. Honestly surprised of how simplisticly delicious everything was. The veggie panini, the breaded shrimp, the onion rings, the southwest egg rolls... all spot on. There was only one gal on so service was a bit slow. My server/bartender was super down to earth too!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Stopped in on our way home from Chicago heading to western IA...early/lunchtime. Needed a "Bloody Mary". Just our kind of place!!! We like to have fun and meet new people and I'm sure we could have some fun if it we weren't traveling. Check it out!“
“Stopped in based on reviews while we were in town. Firecracker shrimp wrap and tots were delicious. Bartender made me "her take on pineapple upside down cake" --- YUMMY! Aside from coleslaw that my friend and I both thought was "off", everything else was terrific!Parking: Small lot, street parking“
“Great pitstop on my way from Chicago to Des Moines to remote work, drink, and watch the Women's World Cup game. Ideal service, nice drinks, fast wifi, best ambiance with music, many TVs, sangria special, and a cool fire pit on the patio.“
“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.“
“We went around 11 on a Saturday night and were the only people there. Totally fine by us. Great drink deals, service, and music. Pool was free to play. Only comment I have is that if you’re there to play pool you won’t be able to hear anyone you’re playing with.“
