The bartenders were friendly enough but their charm doesn't distract you from the dirty bathrooms,…read morebad music, and odd setup of this establishment. There was some extremely trashy/weird art on the wall and the clientele seems to match. The outdated techno coming from the "DJ" was a fitting backdrop to a giant screen that seemed to be projecting someone's Internet search. I opted to sit far away from that mess, right next to a giant fan that was off until I went returned from the bathroom and it had been turned on full blast and stood in place of my chair. Good incentive for dancing perhaps, but I took it as a hint to get some fresh air...far away from this bar. Might be better on a slower, more mellow night.

I've played here, gone to live shows here and sometimes just go to meet new people and hangout I've…read morerarely seen unfriendly people. Sometimes i run into a bartender having a bad night. They offer pool that's away from the music and also sometimes they'll have food carts. I noticed the one bad reviewer seems to have rated alot of local places with 1 or 2 stars which tells me everything i need to know. I've played live music in this town for about 17 years, this is by far one of the best venues for music or to meet friendly local people. I've had my personal issue's but that doesn't take away from the fact that this place is locally legendary for us musicians. It also sports local artwork all over all the art inside was done by artist from right here in town.

Review Visit: July 11th, 2016…read more Situated on the border of Iowa and Illinois sits the Casino/Hotel/Spa that is known as Catfish Bend. It offers a small, but quaint casino that is lucky to have a Smoking/Non-Smoking section, based on your tobacco needs. There is a bar in the center of the casino that serves $1 bottles on Mondays (based on my experience) after 4pm. Nearby is Fun City, so if you are up here on a family vacation, you can have fun with the kids all day at Fun City and then pop over to Catfish Bend for some adult entertainment.

I worked at Catfish Bend Casino for 2 years. When they were…read morebought out and rebranded as great river casino a lot of the current employees were concerned things would change. The new management cared about only one thing. Moving their people in. Hundreds of employees were fired or encouraged to quit. If you want to go and have a good time at fun-city it is amazing if you have kids or even as an adult. Quite a lot of activities and food and games. If you want to lose some money the gaming floor is great if you don't mind a ton of smoke in your face as they even allow it at the tables. I recommend avoiding Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night in case you worry about a drunk spilling a beer on you. If you want some food the property offers a lot of options and I ate at all of them during my time there. Very good food. If you want to support a business that takes care of and respects their employees? I wouldn't go to Great River Casino.

We hired It's Electric Entertainment for our upcoming wedding this fall. A few months ago, we went…read moreto a friends wedding and they had hired It's Electric for their wedding. During the wedding we attended, the DJ's were very unprofessional. The DJ's couldn't remember the Bride and Groom's last name to announce them walking into the reception and forgot to announce the bridal party's entrance as well. At this wedding, the sound system / microphones didn't work and you couldn't hear the music or the DJs talking. The DJs also ate before half of the guests did. I expressed my feelings about what we had witnessed at this wedding with Logan and Megan, the owners of It's Electric, and they said we had DJ Ali and not to worry about this occurring at our wedding. They said if we didn't feel comfortable with their services after this experience they would give us a full refund. We decided to part ways from It's Electric and didn't receive a full refund. After we parted ways with It's Electric, their DJ Ali who was going to DJ our wedding began bashing my rental business on Facebook. She said it was a joke and was trying to hurt my personal business. I am not very impressed with It's Electric and I would not recommend this company to anyone I know.
