What the Bar Offers and How It Works

You order drinks from the bartender if you are seated at the bar, or from your server if you are dining at a table in Moline. The bartender mixes each drink individually, measuring ingredients to maintain consistency and adjusting sweetness, strength, or garnishes based on your preferences. The bar carries a variety of tequilas, rums, vodkas, and whiskeys, along with mixers and fresh ingredients used in specialty cocktails.


After your drink is prepared, you notice the difference between something made fresh and something poured from a premixed batch. The margaritas taste balanced, with the lime and tequila coming through without being masked by sugar, and the beer arrives cold in a chilled glass or straight from the bottle. The bartender checks back to see if you want another round or if you have questions about other options on the menu.


The bar accommodates guests who are dining and those who are there only for drinks, but seating at the bar fills up during evenings and weekends when the restaurant is busiest. The drink menu includes non-alcoholic options for designated drivers and guests who prefer not to drink, and the staff can modify drinks to reduce alcohol content or adjust flavor profiles. The bar does not serve guests who arrive visibly intoxicated or who cannot provide valid identification when requested.
