    On a five day road trip through the upper midwest, Steve's Old Time Tap was a great relief to the…read moreoverpriced hotel bars and touristy traps from the previous 4 nights. Located directly across the street from the downtown Rock Island Holiday Inn, it's a easy stumble to the front desk and so much cheaper and authentic than the hotel bar. My first visit was late afternoon for a beverage after arriving in town. The bartender Tammy and owner Jeff were awesome with making me feel welcome and giving advice for dinner and attractions. My second visit was later that evening after Ubering back from across the river from a concert. A different bartender, but equally as talented in customer service skills ( I wish I could remember her name). A packed house with a mix of locals and people staying at the hotel - which mainly caters to traveling workers for the railroad. A perfectly cluttered and dingy dive bar that's been around many decades with prices that can't be beat. I would most definitely be a regular if I lived there.

    This is a true local bar! A place where travelers can go to and feel welcomed. The bartenders are…read morevery friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is rustic and very local...it shows you how this place has been in business for a long time or at least the building. The food has your typical bar food but with a twist! Whenever you find yourself in Rock Island Illinois and want to have a tasty beverage at a local bar...come to Steve's Old Time Tap.

    Cool spot with chill vibes and string lights. Parking's limited--tiny lot in back and 2-hour street…read moreparking (no clue if that changes on weekends, I'm not from here). Walked in through the back and sat wherever--booths, tables, bar, all open. Tons of beer options. I had the Mississippi Blonde--light and tasty. We split the pretzel loaf and smoked Mississippi Gold wings. You can get regular wings, but why would you? The smoked ones were amazing. Should've gotten 12 (you can do half smoked, half regular if you're into bad decisions). Could get loud with a big group, but great vibe overall. Would definitely come back for drinks--and more wings.

    Checked out this second location of a cool brewery in downtown Rock Island. It's mostly about the…read morebeers, 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.
