Backpocket Dubuque

Reviewed By Rosie7070 - Libertyville, United States

Went to this place on a Saturday afternoon and while it was quiet, our family (mom and dad; 2 teens) enjoyed ourselves immensely. The taproom kind of melds into an area outside of the taproom which was recently renovated and gorgeous. They had pool tables, shuffleboard, and a giant Connect 4 game. The young bartender was a pleasant guy who told us all about the brewery and was very attentive. I'm not a beer lover, but I enjoyed their Hawktoberfest brew because it didn't taste hoppy. Between the company and the ambiance, we really enjoyed this place, although I'm not sure if this review works for a true beer lover (but if you're a lover of decent beer, a cool environment, and a good time - give it a try!!)
