West Dubuque Tap

When in Dbq, you hear about Paul’s, Dog House, Cooper Kettle… Okay try West Dubuque Tap!
A local bar serves the best breakfast?
Yes! Always does! Opens at 6:00am on Monday-​Saturday, Sunday at 8:00am.
Variety of breakfast to bar food!
The best bar food EVER!

Had heard this place had the best burgers so decided to give it a try and quite honestly it wasn’t very good. Burger was really dry and over cooked and lacked any seasoning whatsoever. Not sure if they were using super lean beef or just overcooked it. Fries were ok and plentiful and the beer was cold so not all was bad.

Great Breakfast! Very friendly top notch service! I had the West Dubuque breakfast. Very tasty and more then enough to fill me up!

Man-​oh-​man. I dig this place.
Ended up in Dubuque on a whim, and trying to find a late night eatery was akin to locating the proverbial needle in the proverbial haystack. But luckily enough, we were able to stumble upon this little gym.
The place is small, but super cozy: staff seems to know everyone, and it has a super relaxed attitude. Also, surprisingly good menu: llama burgers were on the menu, but me and my companion went for the Saturday special: a $ 14.50 steak (!!!). Coming from Chicago, this is unheard of.
Beer is cold, and good selection. If you’re in the area – definitely hit this place up.

Our sandwiches were mediocre– pretty dry and not very tasty. The hashbrowns, coleslaw, and macaroni salad, however, were very good.

Recently moved to this end of DBQ. We’re proud to say we think we’ve finally our bar. What makes the West Dubuque Tap an «our kindof bar» quality:
* Super personal and friendly bar tender. The guy just generally seemed to enjoy his job and was observant, but not annoyingly so.
* Loved the heavy hand he had when poring a mixed drink.
* A few non standard domestic beers on tap (Sam Adams seasonal /​flat tire)
* Good burger — (though fries — allbeit they are hand cut — they need to crisp a little longer)
* The other bar patrons seemed like they had been coming for coon ages.
* The bar had a nice and comfy arm rest /​pad to lean on.
* and a $ 0.25 candy machine with mini candy bars. An Almond Joy for desert? Don’t mind if I do!
* I think the capacity max is somewhere around 45 people. It’s small folks. Super small and can get a bit loud with the cackling of other patrons. But I personally enjoy those sounds at bar and listen for that kinda stuff when looking to lift my spirits with spirits!

Always a delicious breakfast on a weekend morning.
