Food options are frozen pizza, chips, or pickled eggs! Popcorn and peanuts are served on the bar and free! During the week the music is too loud depending on how much the owner has to drink. That's the downfall. Sometimes y can't even hear the person sitting next to you! Tons of liquor and beer options, so much that you need to check your dates before consuming!

Seemed unprofessional, rude, and 100% will not be coming back. Unbelievable behavior from a grown woman. Screaming in everyone's face and a very nasty attitude. Visiting from out of town and will avoid this place at all costs next time. Really awful first impression and seems to be for locals only. Really still hoping that wasn't the owner behaving so belligerently. Yikes.

I went to Valley Monster Pub with my boyfriend on our Quad City trip after we were recommended to…read morego there from a bartender at Parkside Brewing Company nearby. They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.

Patty the owner is awesome!! She made sure that we (my friend and I) being out of town were able to make it back to our hotel and had food in our belly's. Joel the bartender was great as well!

We decided to give it a try, bc dive bar... Service started decent enough, beers were brought in a timely manner and without constant need to ask, bartender admitted there was party coming in later on in the evening. It was also her birthday...Emily I believe. She was excited to get off and go celebrate....it seemed quite early on in our visit that she'd already started celebrating, lots of shots, plenty of time not even in the bar, actually admitted and apologized that she went to the "thrift store". We spent approx 4-5 hours there, same patrons would come and go between the bar and the sidewalk. A little sketchy, even for a dive bar.

The food was delicious as always. The hardest part was ordering the food when I'm not bi- lingiul.read more
