Quad Cities Bars

On occasion, I do love me a Gyro.  I’ve noticed them turning up on more menus, but the best are typically found at the places that are pretty much dedicated to making Gyros, to the point that it’s included in their name (Jimmy’s King Gyros, Uncle Pete’s Gyros, Dr. Gyros).  Gyros are really good when you’re having a few beers, but, unfortunately, the best Gyro joints don’t have liquor licenses – or bars, waitresses, and flat screen TVs.  That’s why I’m looking forward to trying out The Doc’s Inn in Silvis, which was scheduled to open Feb. 20 th , by the owners of Dr. Gyros.  I haven’t been by yet to see if it did open by target date; either way, it’ll be in my next update.
