The music was blasting inside so we ate outside on their patio overlooking the river. The bartender / waiter was super friendly and took good care of us during our stay.

Right now if we it's a drinking bar so sit outside of you go with kids.

Found this basic looking bar in Galena. Gold Room is a small place with a bar and a few tables and…read morenot much else to be honest. They have a couple TVs so you can watch games or whatever. A lot of the basic beverages. There's beers on tap as well as mixers. Chill place when nothing is going on around. It's also not that crowded when other places are full. The only thing on the menu here is alcoholic beverages which is a good thing. All one needs to have fun. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail like whiskey mixed with Coke or whatever. Can also bring things in. There's a lot of close by restaurants. Got the basic drinks like beer and cheap cocktails. It's open later than most places around here. They have grill in the name but no food so eat before or bring in something from wherever.

It's often said we are way out in the boondocks and implies somewhere less than where the action is…read morebut not at Boondocks Emporium. Whether you're a local (especially a veteran for whom they encourage folks to buy them a drink), a fan of bison art or just passing through from Des Moines to Dubuque via the Amana Colonies as we were this is one Boondocks worth finding yourself. We had the soup of the day (corned beef and cabbage) can see why it's a favorite and an unbelievably delicious bison burger with sweet potato fries. Patrick was a great server keeping up with the bar and all of us in the restaurant with a great attitude and a big welcoming smile.

They were told about the County Line by a local, and they were welcomed with open arms by the owner. She could see how scared my 8 year old nephew was and whisked him away and introduced him to her dog Jake.

I'm really not one to write reviews of places I haven't been, but I was really touched by this story and the kindness of the owner and I feel it's something that should be commended. I'd be glad to stop in, if I'm ever en route or in the area. It's nice to see there are some special people in the world! Thank You!!
