Stopped in to have a brew and a sour. The Yep Yep IPA was very refreshing. Noticed the menu had a…read morebunch of good options, so decided to we would do dinner. Starter was the beer cheese nachos with pulled pork. That is honestly much better than most nachos I get. The beer cheese is tasty, the pork was generous and the bbq sauce added a nice spicy-sweetness to it. For my main, I opted for the salmon with bourbon glaze. It was prepared to medium but still tender and flakey (done but not overdone). The green beans were seasoned well and had just enough crunch left to them. Rice was nothing special. Genessa was our server and she was very attentive and nice to talk to. I recommend for drinks and for food!!

Emily wanted to check out Five Cities based on their logo containing a dog and liking most of their beer offerings. We dropped in around 1pm to a mostly empty place as there was only one other table. The bartender was beyond friendly and helped us at every step of the way. We ordered our drinks at the bar and took them to a table where we could be alone. Emily started with the Bikini Bottom and I got the Here Kitty Kitty Kitty. Emily's drink came in a pineapple glass and was very strong on the pineapple flavor. Here Kitty Kitty Kitty was just about perfect for an IPA. We ordered a second drink with our food. I stuck with the Kitty and Emily switched to the Crush Tangerine. Next door is Central Standard Craft Burgers & Beer. As we were walking in, I jokingly said it would be funny if the food we order here came from next door. Sure enough, that is exactly what happens. Emily got The Standard Club with coleslaw, and I got the Fire & Smoke burger. I'd say within 10 minutes of our bartender taking our order (which we had to do at the bar), our food was in front of us in these neat little boxes. Once you crack the sticker, heaven is waiting for you inside. My burger came with lightly battered french fries. This style is my favorite, by far. Both Emily and I were in heaven eating our delicious food. From the first bite to the last fry was some of the best food I've had in months, maybe all year. Pair it with the beer and we didn't want to leave. I'd say I would like to try out Central Standard itself and see if the experience is the same there. All in all, we had a blast at Five Cities Brewing. I got a shirt and some (free at the time) stickers in their merch corner. Emily got a koozie and some stickers herself. The shirt I got was a medium and ended up running on the smaller/athletic side. If I can lose about 15 pounds, you'll get to see the fun shirt pop up in a future review as it has a funny saying on the back.

Thank you for hosting our after party on Friday, September 26, 2025. The Ladies of Vital Essence…read moreof Augustana College had a great time at your wine bar. We were intentional about patronizing woman and/or minority-owned businesses during our visit to Rock Island. One of our alumni sisters who lives in the quad cities suggested your establishment. Another alumni sister requested a specialty drink for our reunion-your mixologist delivered! We enjoyed the "Lovebation." I'd started calling it our "go to" spot whenever we're in town. We loved the atmosphere and decor, with its very comfortable, intimate vibe. It's a lovely space inside and the seating out front was inviting as well. The staff were great! I recognize there were many of us at once, but we all got served and had extended time with friends we hadn't seen in many years.

Stopped in on Saturday around 7:00 pm for National IPA Day. As we were sitting there, a ton of…read morepeople were arriving. Adults AND children. That's when we noticed there was a party in the back room AND one forming in the front area, near the wagyu cooler. The SOLE BARTENDER then proceeded to get SLAMMED. So I asked for a to-go order of the Hakuna MAWtata. To which I was told there were none and I'd have to wait a while for the bartender to make it. I really don't understand why they had ONE bartender on a Saturday evening, especially when people clearly booked parties tonight. Couple that with about 8 children standing at the front door while people were coming and going. I really don't understand what's going on. It's a bar, not a restaurant, and not a kids play area. We visit every year and I've been in this place many times. But I probably won't be going back, especially on a weekend!!

Ignore all of the construction and give these guys a try, you won't regret it!…read more The bartender, Carrie, was fantastic! Offering samples and suggestions to make sure everyone received something they would enjoy. When I told her I liked bourbon and not beer, she brought out a bottle of Woodford Reserve and never once told me I just had to try one of their beers because it would most certainly be the one to convert me to a beer drinker! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that and wish more breweries would be like that. But back to the beer, the rest of the family enjoyed the selection and all said they would go back. They do not serve food, but there is a very good Mexican restaurant next door and you can bring in their food if you are hungry. It is also very family friendly and welcoming!
