Eddy's Snack Bar
My daily go-to for an iced coffee! I get the Sips mocha and every 10th one is free 🩷
Sips Coffee Eldridge
The vibes at this coffee shop are amazing and the salted caramel latte is my favorite I’ve had
392Caffe
If you love birria tacos, these are the best in the Quad Cities! Their spicy pineapple margarita is also amazing every time
D' Lua on the River
The atmosphere here is so fun and the birria quesadilla is to die for
Baja Tacos and Shots
The Arthur’s choice sub is my favorite sandwich, they also have tons of side options like fruits, chips, soup, pasta, potatoes, etc
Arthur's Garden Delicatessen
This truly is the best hard serve Ice cream in the Midwest! They have dozens of flavors that are constantly changing with the seasons and any shake combinations you could think of
Whitey's Ice Cream
The pizza and gelato here is next level! It’s in an authentic stone pizza oven that gives the crust the best flavor, it’s definitely the closest pizza I’ve had to Italy and the gelato is also great
Pagalo's Pizzeria & Gelato Cafe
This place has easily the best view in the Quad Cities. You can see everything from the rooftop in the downtown Davenport right by the river and the bridges. The drink menu is so fun too
UP Skybar & Lounge
The vibes here are always awesome, the friendliest bartenders, indoor and outdoor seating with a fireplace, live music, and food trucks!
The Ridge Social Drinkery
If you’re into appetizers, this is the best place for the delicious and HUGE soft pretzel with a few different dips, and the giant mozzarella sticks. The beer menu always has fun new ones to try
Twin Span Brewing
Armored gardens is the best bar to find some good food, a truly insane wall of beers/ciders (too many to choose from), and the best outdoor area with bags, ping pong, and picnic tables with heaters
Armored Gardens
If you like activities like trivia this is the cutest place. They also do fun things like a skee ball league! If you want to pour your own beer off the beer wall you get a card to tap and pour as much or as little of the different kinds as you’d like...
Pour Bros. Craft Taproom Moline
This is a great Mexican place to get the most bang for your buck, the food is delicious and you get a TON of food for a great price! I also recommend the Margarita tower of course
Cabos Cantina & Grill
I have never had anything bad here. I love to get the spicy chicken, with the Mac, and then mix everything all together
Hawaiian Bros Island Grill
Everyone should see the backwater gamblers water ski team! They put on a FREE show every Sunday and Wednesday night at 6:30 all Summer
Backwater Gamblers Ski Site
The figge art museum is beautiful and fun, they have new things to see all of the time
Figge Art Museum
Brick and motor has the CUTEST clothes! They started as just a mobile boutique but now they have a storefront too with tons of accessories and more
Brick and Motor Boutique
