I drove by the Wunder Y thousands of times before I knew it was a bar. I'm guessing my experience…read moreis not unique. There's no sign, just a few windows, and with parking in back, most people use the rear entrance. It wouldn't be difficult to mistake the place for something much shadier than what it is. That's not to say, however, that the Wunder Y is without a hint of shady charm. It's rather steeped in it, actually, a dive to the core. Its patrons have made it into somewhat of an underground Moline institution. I'd never heard anyone even mention the Wunder Y, but once my friends and I finally started making the trip, we couldn't go there without running into someone we knew. For this reason, I like to think of it as my own little speakeasy. It's a great place to run into classmates, your old minor league baseball coach, and people that you thought were dead. They're all down at the Wunder Y. The shuffleboard table is a big draw, and I've seen a few people get hustled with it, insofar as you can get hustled at shuffleboard. But if a couple old guys walk up and ask if you and your buddy are up for a game, it's a pretty safe bet that you're going to get your ass whooped. If you're just a spectator, ask if you can operate the ancient scoreboard. That thing's going to be on Antiques Roadshow some day. I should mention that I once hated the Wunder Y. It grows on you a little bit with each visit, though, like a nicotine addiction or a rash. Best dive in the Quad Cities, which is saying something.

Wish I could jump on the bandwagon and give Icons a positive review since this was my first and…read moreprobably last visit to Rock Island. Being a martini bar, I asked for a drink that most places don't have - Paloma. The newbie bartender stated that he could make one and then went to the directory and had to ask the owner what it was. The owner instructed him on the ingredients and they did have tequila and Fresca. After being served my beverage, i was completely ignored by both the bartender and owner. After wandering around the premises to see all of the mass produced paraphernalia of "icons", I decided to have another, again completely ignored. Actually one of the customers dogs came over for a visit while staff and regulars chatted. I've never given a dog stars before but Stella, you get 5 stars and the rest of the employees and regulars get zero.

I drove by Murphy's no fewer than a thousand times before venturing inside. Although the big fake…read morerock entrance out front may be enticing, there isn't anything as breathtaking inside. It's a blue collar, boilermaker kind of bar. You've got both kinds of beer, Bud and Bud Light. If your appetite's actin' up, you can order a toaster oven pizza. Although I grew up in the Quad Cities, Murphy's has a feature that, as a current resident of Chicago, I can't get over. A parking lot. Obviously no one in Chicago has the space or cash to afford a lot, but it's different in the QC where everyone drives and there are no cabs. Its very presence may seem a bit of a safety hazard, but to someone who's been out of town for a while, it's a friendly reminder of the local culture: there's plenty of room for you here, but you'd damn well better be responsible for the time being.

The place is a lot nicer looking on the inside than the out looks with a nice exposed circular metal ceiling and kind of an industrial look with the wood and metal. The men's room has a keg for a pisser which was somewhat weird but kind of cool. There is a rail yard right behind the place so the name is fitting. I was after a cold craft style draft beer which they had a few and I don't even remember the names. I was amazed that the woman working the bar didn't know how much the beers cost and had to consult a menu before taking my money. I was only going to do one beer and since I didn't how much they were I slapped $10 on the bar, $4.75 for my dark beer. She grabbed the $10 and asked if the whole $10 was with her tip, no I'm not leaving you a $5.25 tip on my first beer, seriously. I decided to try another beer and I asked her to bring me the most popular tap, nothing domestic like Bud which she didn't really know so I said just pick something. I liked the frosty glass with each beer. My second beer must have killed the keg because it was kind of low in the glass or just a crap pour which I think is most likely what happened WTF. It's probably an ok place for a couple beers but I would check out some other places in town.
