    Cozy venue, cool vibes, and killer live music…read more The Raccoon Motel is one of those places that just gets it right. Tucked into downtown Davenport, it's a small, quirky venue that punches above its weight when it comes to live music. The room is intimate--perfect for catching up-and-coming bands or stripped-down acoustic sets that feel personal and raw. The vibe is chill and eclectic, with fun decor and a layout that makes even a packed show feel like a private experience. You're close to the stage no matter where you are, and the sound quality is surprisingly solid for the size. Drinks are fairly priced, and the bar has a good mix of local beers, cocktails, and whiskey. Staff is super friendly and clearly passionate about the music scene. There's no food served here, but it's easy to grab a bite at one of the nearby downtown spots before the show. Seating is limited, so get there early if you want a booth or a good standing spot. If you're into live music without the big-venue hassle, The Raccoon Motel is absolutely worth a visit. Cool crowd, cool bands, cool bar.

    Definitely a quirky hole in the wall! Everyone was pleasant, drinks were good, place was clean,…read moreand the music was awesome. It wasn't crowded and while the artist (Jason Eady) deserved a larger crowd, I absolutely love it when not many people show up to see an outstanding musician because it makes for an intimate show -- and this was. Definitely would go back!

    It was sad when Campbell Steele gallery announced their closing considering this venue was a unique…read moreplace to see a show. But, the vibe and scene of The Famous Mockingbird channels the ghost of Campbell Steele and does it well. If you have a chance to see a concert/show here - here is what you need to know: 1) you can buy your tickets in advance with no service fee 2) arrive early (at least 30 mins) to get your seat, for general admission on a sold out show, you might go earlier. 3) speaking of seating, the venue consists of a few high top tables and bistro tables. Arrive early to snag one of these. There is also a few high top to the side of the "stage" and behind the stage area by the bar. Otherwise you stand. 4) it's a small venue, but not too loud. Very cozy and intimate with a cool vibe. 5) they only serve beer (mostly local and some light beer standards) and wine 6) the front of house offers some fun retail opportunities such as beautiful local jewelry and prints. I appreciate the great new rotation of artists The Famous Mockingbird will bring to the area. Please support them and live music!

    Great intimate place to see live music. We were pleased to find a reserved table waiting for us…read morewhen we arrived. There is a mix of regular and high top tables. When making the reservation, there is an option to put in comments so next time I will be sure to request my table preference. Reasonably priced beer, wine, sodas and coffee were available. We will be back to see more live music!

    This is one of my favorite rock n roll clubs/bars in Iowa! Located right off the Mississippi where…read morethe boats are docked to shore, this is a great place to cast your anchor and hang out for a night and watch some music! When entering the bar you might think you are in a different land, and in a different time! It feels kinda like an Irish pub in a dungeon! But there's a pool table so you know your safe! There are two long bars one on the side room where the music is and one in the main room! I have been here numerous times of the past 10 years and the bar tenders always seem to be the same. And they are great! Prices are great too, you can get your fancy whisky or craft brews, but they also carry cans of PBR, and Old Mil for us on a budget! The music room is great, it has great sound, and Aaron H. who has booked here for years brings in great stuff, a totally curated room of music! The locals just come here cause there is live music and they usually leave satisfied in their choice cause Aaron has great taste! I have been lucky enough to play here a few times and every time I have had a great time! They have a great back patio as well, but like I said they are right off the Mississippi so it might get kinda buggy sometimes! This is a total gem if you find yourself in Dubuque!

    Old school vibe here. We randomly came across this place after we went to Vinnys for supper. Then…read morewe randomly ran into out of town friends. We had a blast. Its not anything fancy here just a nice casual bar.
