Quad Cities Bars

El Patron moved a half block down to the old Del’s In The District .  It had been so long since I had been in there, I’m not sure if there was any remodeling done.  Pretty fair Margarita, though.   Rebellion Brew Haus officially opened in Moline the last week of January, though they had been open for special occasions (whatever those could be) from time to time.  It’s located on the parking lot side of the same building as Bad Boy’z Pizza , and the owner is also a co-owner of Bad Boy’z.  When I went, I didn’t see any of their own brews posted, but I’ve been told they typically have 4 of their own on tap, and the list of craft beers they did have when I was there was impressive.  They also have an upscale taco bar.  When the Office (if that ends up being the name opens on the NW corner of the building, there will be a bar enclave as big as what’s on 5th Avenue.     BrewHouse opened some months ago in the i-Wireless Center, but is ...

Central Standard Burgers, Beer, & Such is now open in Bettendorf, in an area surrounding the corner of 18t St. and 53r Ave., which is becoming dominated by Mark Romer establishments (he also owns Crust and Hemispheres).  I was chided for having a pastrami sandwich on my first visit, son on my next stop I got the Blue Burger, which was delicious.  As far as the bar goes, one unique feature is the back bar is along the window.  Okay, it’s just a view of a parking lot (and the patio when summer comes), and on a bright day it makes it difficult to see the 24 craft beer taps, but I like it.  Besides the 24 tap beers (including a nice Apricot Hefeweizen), there are 30+ more bottles craft beers. Red Angus Bar & Grill in Silvis is the new name of P. K. Dugan’s , which was purchased by the owner of Hey Bryan’s in East Moline.  We stopped in just before Thanksgiving, but at that time there were no changes except the sign was down, but yet to be replaced....
